Sensory self-care is about nurturing your nervous system by creating a soothing environment tailored to your sensory needs. Overstimulation can occur through various stimuli, causing stress and discomfort. Implement strategies for each sense—touch, sound, sight, smell, and taste—to foster peace, especially for those with ADHD or anxiety. Prioritize your sensory comfort for overall well-being.

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.
We live in a culture that equates success with hustle and rest with laziness — but thriving doesn’t happen in overdrive.

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.
Need help getting started? Try a few of these:
It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.
Affirmation:
“Comfort is a form of care. I deserve moments that feel like warmth. I honor my need for rest.”
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.
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.
