Create a Cozy Moment

Prompt: Create a cozy moment: tea, blanket, music, etc.
Affirmation: “Comfort is a form of care.”

Have you ever felt like your nervous system is just begging you to pause — even for five minutes? Today’s May You Thrive prompt is your permission slip to do exactly that. Not to check another thing off your to-do list, but to check in with yourself.

This is your invitation to create a cozy moment, whatever that looks like for you.

Why Comfort Matters

We live in a culture that equates success with hustle and rest with laziness — but thriving doesn’t happen in overdrive.
Comfort reminds your body that it’s safe.
It tells your mind to slow down.
And it gives your spirit the space to breathe.

Creating a cozy moment isn’t a luxury. It’s care.

Your Cozy Moment Checklist

Need help getting started? Try a few of these:

  • A warm drink (tea, cocoa, golden milk, or even warm lemon water)
  • Soft lighting (candles, fairy lights, or a favorite lamp)
  • Music that soothes (check out the May You Thrive Spotify playlist [linked here])
  • Something soft — a blanket, fuzzy socks, or your favorite hoodie
  • Optional: a journal, a favorite book, a warm bath, or five minutes of intentional silence

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.

Say This With Me:

Affirmation:
“Comfort is a form of care. I deserve moments that feel like warmth. I honor my need for rest.”

Journal Prompt:

What does comfort really look and feel like for me? When was the last time I gave myself permission to fully experience it — without guilt?

Name it. Honor it. Repeat it.

Share Your Cozy Moment

If you create a cozy corner today, I’d love to see it. Snap a pic or write about it on social and tag me with #MayYouThrive so we can inspire each other to slow down and soften.

You’re not lazy. You’re healing. You’re resting.
You’re caring for you.
And that’s what thriving is all about.

Reclaim Your Peace: Unplug for Just One Hour

The Day 14 challenge encourages a Tech-Free Hour to promote mental well-being. Constant digital engagement can lead to stress and burnout, so dedicating time away from screens allows for reconnection with oneself and the environment. The challenge promotes mindfulness through various activities, fostering calmness and self-reflection.

May You Thrive – Day 13: Laugh on Purpose

Laughter is a vital form of self-care that’s free and healing. The May You Thrive challenge encourages purposeful laughter, whether through watching comedy or connecting with friends. It highlights how spontaneous moments of joy can uplift our spirits, reminding us to embrace laughter and cultivate joy in our lives.

Speak to Your Future Self Like a Best Friend

Day 12 focuses on connecting with your future self, envisioning them as a wise friend. This practice promotes positivity, trust, and clarity about values and desires, emphasizing compassion over perfection. Participants are encouraged to visualize and speak kindly to their future selves, cultivating self-belief and honoring personal journeys.
