Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Cozy

In case it wasn’t clear, we’ve reached our first Bermonth of 2025. That means all things cozy. The weather may not support these efforts, because Summer and Autumn are about to tussle. In some areas across the U.S., Summer will not yield for quite sometime. Here’s the thing, I don’t care. I’m already getting my home ready for Fall, because cozy starts there. You might be wondering, where’s the motivation?

Well, some of us come alive in the fall ( if this reminded you of the Weeknd, you’d be right). In a cozy environment, We’re more productive and understanding of others. We pour time and positive energy into our spaces. Since the seasonal shift limits our outdoor options, this cozy time of year gives us a chance to slow down. That’s why I’m encouraging you to cultivate your cozy space.

It’s not something that needs to be done in one sitting. After all, September is only the first of 4 Bermonths. For now, I’ve switched to fall scents (candles, air freshener, and coffee creamer) and stocking up on baking supplies. Think about ways you can gradually prepare your cozy environment for the last quarter of the year.
