It’s easy to wake up, scroll, rush, forget what day it’s, microwave something, answer emails, and then somehow it’s 9 PM and you’re trying to remember if you’ve had water.
If that sounds familiar, this is for you.
These aren’t productivity hacks. They’re quiet, gentle rituals that create tiny moments of grounding — the kind that help you feel like a person again.
Morning Light + One Intentional Sip
Before phone. Before inbox. Just light a candle, open the curtains, or step outside with your warm drink.

The Midday Check-In
Pause for 60 seconds.
Ask: Have I moved? Have I eaten something with colour? Am I holding my breath again?

A “Closing” Ritual
No, not like a corporate closing. Just something that ends your day gently:
- Wash your face
- Turn off overhead lighting
- Write down one thing that didn’t suck

The 5-Minute Declutter Zone
Not the whole house. Just one surface. The counter. Your bag. That one chair. You know the one.

Something That’s Just for You
Read one page. Sit quietly for a few minutes. Step outside. Stretch. Hide in the bathroom for longer than necessary. We support you.
Bonus: pair this with your Cozy Leaf self-care printable pack (coming soon!)
