12 Cozy Days to Schedule This Year

I have been thinking about how quickly the months tend to blur together when we are just surviving instead of actually living.

It is so easy to get caught in the “productivity" cycle where we forget that we are allowed to just exist and actually enjoy our own lives now and then.

This year I’m sharing a couple themed cozy days anyone can schedule into their year to reconnect with themselves. (One per month is the goal but totally go at your own pace 🤎)

The Analog Reset Day 📖

Start off by leaving your phone and other electronic devices away in another room for the whole day (if its possible for you).

Reconnect with physical media for a while, tactile hobbies, and real human connection.

It is amazing how much longer a day feels when you aren't constantly being constantly hit by notifications.

The Solo Date 🍦

Take yourself on a day long date fitted with all of your favorite activities.

Whether that is a quiet trip to a museum or just sitting at a café for three hours, this day is about being your own best company.

It is a time to just listen to your own thoughts and get cozy with who you are 🤎

The Creativity Retreat 🎨

This is the day to remove all external distractions and just focus on creating.

It could be painting, scrapbooking, playing an instrument, coloring in a cute coloring book, or really anything creative that brings you joy.

The goal for this day is to let out your natural creativity, not to be perfect 🤎

The Outdoorsy Adventure 🌲

We are heading outside to remind ourselves how beautiful the world is.

Spend as much time as you possibly can in nature and just breathe in the fresh air.

Whether it is a long hike on a trail or a slow walk in a local park, It’s the perfect way to clear out the mental cobwebs that accumulate when we stay inside for too long.

The Reading Marathon 📚

Dedicate a whole day to finally finishing that stack of books on your nightstand.

I’m talking about snacks, a cozy blanket, and hours of uninterrupted reading time. It is the best way to give your attention span a workout and get lost in another world.

The Mid-Year Admin & Reset Day 💻

Sometimes the most self-loving thing you can do is get your life in order.

Dedicate this day to clearing your digital clutter, reviewing your goals, and editing your physical space.

It’s about taking care of those "mundane" tasks that weigh on your subconscious so you can feel lighter for the rest of the year.

The Deep Rest Day 🛌

This is the "no-guilt" zone. Let yourself wake up naturally and focus on doing very little apart from things that give you comfort and joy.

No chores, no social obligations, and absolutely no feeling bad about "doing nothing."

Rest is a necessity for your well-being, not a reward you have to earn.

The New Hobby Day 🧩

Pick something new you have been curious about and dedicate a whole day to learning it.

Whether it is air-dry clay, a new board game, or beginner gardening, give yourself permission to be a complete beginner.

I always recommend cozy “adult” coloring books, if you haven’t tried them, because personally i find them so relaxing.

There is so much joy in the curiosity of learning something fresh without the pressure of being "good" at it.

The Spa Day 🛁

It is time for a full sensory reset. Spend the day indulging in skincare, hair masks, and long morning baths.

I love using a scent that makes me feel happy, like a bakery-inspired wash, to make the whole experience feel like a little treat.

This day is really about pampering yourself and feeling cared for from head to toe.

The Nostalgia Journey 🧸

Dedicate your day to all the music, games, movies, and foods of your childhood.

Take a trip down memory lane and revisit the things that made you feel safe and happy when you were younger.

It is a beautiful way to reconnect with your inner child and remember the simple joys that shaped you.

The Day of Whimsy 🧚

Go out and do something impulsive and joyful. Buy yourself flowers, wear your favorite "extra" outfit, or decorate a corner of your home just because it makes you smile.

Whimsy is the antidote to a dull routine. It is about romanticizing the small things and finding magic in the everyday.

The Grown-Up Sleepover 🍿

End the year by inviting your closest friends over for a night of total comfort.

Think board games, cozy pajamas, and deep, meaningful conversation.

It is about celebrating the community that supports you and entering the new year feeling loved and connected.

Final Cozy Thoughts 💛

We spend so much of our lives being reachable and productive for everyone else. These twelve days are a way of saying that you are allowed to belong to yourself first.

You don't need to do them perfectly. You just need to show up for yourself.

Stay warm. Stay whimsical.
