This book is an illustrated guide for the everyday practice of self-care. By focusing on the cozy pleasures of life, like soft blankets and the comforting scent of freshly baked bread, I believe that good feelings and contentment can be found each day. Too often me time is accompanied by feelings of guilt or selfishness, and its the first item to go on a busy days to-do list. I created this book to be a soothing guide that promotes the importance of me time and its necessity in self-care. With inspiration drawn from the Danish concept of hygge, my hope is that this book encourages you to seek well-being through slowing down, creating an atmosphere of coziness, and taking genuine pleasure in the ordinary.

Some pages have simple tips and uncomplicated tasks to promote coziness for you to try, and others have prompts to encourage you to add your own content. Bits of heartwarming, inspirational sayings are sprinkled in there, too, for those days when our anxious minds are a best friend and a worst enemy at the same time. This guide is inspired by my own personal experiences with having anxiety and the tendency to greatly overthink everything, and by the self-care tips and prompts that I have found useful in my own life.

I hope that this book will feel like a hug to your heart and be a comforting tool in helping you slow down and find contentment through the simple act of being cozy.
