Nesting: when cocooning becomes trendy

Nesting is the new phenomenon of the moment. To give you a clearer idea, here is a practical case. It’s 8 p.m., you’ve just walked through your door after a tiring day at work, when you receive a text from your best friend. The latter gives you an appointment in a bar to decompress from the day. But you, how to say, you are not in the starting blocks. Nothing to worry about. Staying at home is all the rage. This is called nesting (“making a nest” in French).

Coming from the Scandinavian countries, just like “cocooning” or “hygge”, nesting is based on small pleasures that cannot be bought. Cozy and warm moments where you disconnect from the world in a secure environment. Drinking a good hot tea wrapped in your duvet in front of a Netflix series is the perfect example. The desired sensation is well-being. Point.

What is nesting?

In terms of marketingthis new current is “a societal trend conducive to refocusing on oneself and improving the habitat which must correspond to the lifestyle and image of the inhabitants“. A real break with the 90s-2000s synonymous with restless nights in clubbing mode. Having a drink, going to a restaurant and ending up in a nightclub every weekend were mandatory to feel “trendy” like a Cathy Guetta at the Bains Showers (for the youngest it was a legendary place for Parisian nights).

A good for health

Today, saying “no” to your loved ones to put on your favorite pajamas with ridiculous smileys is no longer making you feel guilty. For specialists, it is even essential to agree this kind of social break. Redecorating your apartment, redeveloping your apartment with restful places to live allows you to calm down. You have to make time precious, in a daily life dominated by speed.

Interviewed by the newspaper El País, Dr. Vicente Saavedra explained that, from time to time, staying at home is to humans what recharging a battery is to a smartphone. “Our cells and organs need rest to regenerate. Certainly, having fun once in a while is necessary, but if entertainment becomes a way of life, it is absolutely harmful, physically and mentally.“.

Reconnect with your inner self

The brain secretes a steroid hormone, cortisol, to manage the stress of a performance-dominated lifestyle. But the other side of the coin, this hormone leads to hypertension and other frankly unpleasant drifts. To lower cortisol, you have to reconnect with your inner self. Bye bye wonder woman. Hello human who has biological limits. So slow down to avoid overheating. Nesting would thus be beneficial for any kind of burn-out, bore-out (boredom at work that makes you sick) or depression.

And in an ultra-connected era, it’s so easy not to stick your nose out: series on demand, meals delivered, dating apps… Everything is available, so why not take advantage of it a little? , just a little ?
