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.
