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.

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