    I love how these are actually hobbies that you do FOR yourself and your own enjoyment. I feel like hobbies nowadays often have to "pay up", e.g. if you don't have an Etsy shop or turning your hobby into a productive thing, you're doing it wrong. When it's so important to have activities that you enjoy just for the sake of doing them. So thank you for these fun tips! :)

    I love this video and idea 🥹💕 I would also recommend:
    1. Doing stuff with beads. Weather it's those that can be ironed after completing the pattern or those that you pull on a little wire to create stuff.
    2. Puzzles. Simple, classic ☺️
    3. Making preserves - jams, pickles, etc
    4. Collecting things - leaves, flowers, cool rocks, shells. Something to connect you to nature.
    5. Learning useful stuff - how to sew on a button, how to bake bread, how to make basic repairs around the house.
    Have fun y'all 💖

    I used to love writing as a kid and I really thought I would be a writer someday. Didn't pan out and I haven't tried writing anything (besides some journaling) in probably a decade. But your enthusiasm in this video made me go write for 20 minutes and wow it was a blast. Wrote a cute little romcom moment based on a recent experience I had, so much fun! Thank you so so much for that bit of encouragement! ❤

    I'm native american and decided I was going to bead a wildcat medallion in a watercolor style for fun. I listened to your video while I was working and it made me so happy! I love all of your ideas. And you're so right. Regardless of how this translates from my mind to beads, it's so relaxing to focus on the ritual of beading and so rewarding to see it come to life. I hope you make more of these videos encouraging people to focus and relax!

    Okay, hear me out: Witchcraft. Carve sigils into scented candles and burn them. Cleanse your space with incense. Collect pretty crystals. Make little spell jars and pouches. Bless gifts for your loved ones. Grow your own herbs for spells. There are so many possibilities to combine it with other hobbies too!

    Sometimes deep cleaning or organizing my home while listening to wholesome audiobooks is cozy for me. Other times, watching bullet journal videos on CZcams while sipping a cup of warm tea. Also, almost anything that is on the PickUpLimes channel, just cozy as is. I also love the act of lighting scented candles with a match (that sound can't be replced by anything, soooo cozy to me) and watch them, sipping a cup of cinnamon tea and listening to lofi music. I have 3 cats, it is very cozy to pet them, kiss them, listening them purr and I especially love it when one of them curls up in my arms and falls asleep 🥰🥰 After cleaning our home, I usually turn on dim lights and listen to chill music and just walk around barefoot, that's also a cozy feeling. Whenever I take all my clothes out and say goodby to the ones I haven't ised for so long and I know I never will, and only put the ones back that I am actively using, I feel so cozy and wholesome and free, and fresh. These are my cozy things 😊

      @vartite Před rokem +1

      And if you don't want to use actual supplies, there are lots of coloring apps - great if you have a tablet. When I want to zone out, I put on a podcast and open Happy Color. I also find things like word games and crossword puzzles relaxing - achallenging puzzle can keep me occupied for a while.
      Oh...and gluebooking! Use a cheap notebook or (or any publication you would normally throw out/recycle - catalogs, brochures, etc.) and glue stuff in it (magazine images, product packaging, paper scraps, etc.). That's it. It doesn't have to be pretty, it doesn't have to make sense, and you don't have to show it to anyone - don't think, just glue. If you are feeling more creative, you can try collaging, which a more intentional combination of images, textures and colors. There's lots of good gluebookers and collagers here on YT if you need some inspiration. 😊

    As a lifelong writer I LOVEEEEEE that you included creative writing in this!! It’s even more fun when you do it just for yourself. I love making Spotify playlists for stories to fit the vibe and get inspiration (another cozy activity). I also love that you included magazines in this! I miss them so much too! Getting my monthly seventeen magazine in the mail and also buying tiger beat in middle school were staples of life for me! I really want to try one of those cute little building sets 😍

    This was a great list! I already love and do most of these! I will some of my other favorite (though admittedly more expensive hobbies) are drawing, bullet journaling, scrapbooking, card making, learning languages, tarot reading and creating miniatures. I think hobbies are so so important and I think everyone should have at least a few hobbies to feel creatively and emotionally fulfilled. Happy Hobbying! 💗

    I love magazines! There’s something luxurious about sitting down with a magazine and a coffee, tea, cocktail, and just reading. And it feels so much more relaxing than reading similar information on the internet but that feels limitless, but a magazine has a limited number of pages to read. You can read the articles in whatever order you like, but there are a fixed amount of them, no endless clicking.

    Cross-stitch is amazing! Super easy to learn (much easier than knitting or crochet, imo), very inexpensive, and as a bonus, you can so easily translate pixel art from video games into cross-stitch patterns and make yourself gamer wall decor. Fangamer even sells a Stardew Valley cross-stitch book that I highly recommend, and there’s free patterns online too!

    I would add yoga to the list; it’s the coziest form of exercise! Cat-cows, twists, child’s pose all feel SO good in the body, and it keeps your mind in the present. It can be as intense or cozy as you want - either way, you’re being productive, because you’re moving and stretching your body. It’s hard not to feel even just a little bit better after doing yoga.

    Also! In terms of magazines at 11:44 everyone should try zines if they haven’t! Artist produced and always unique. Plus, you will be directly supporting someone. If you’re in nyc a great place to get some is Desert Island, Bluestockings or Caffeine Underground. There are so many other coffee shops and bookstores that carry them too. If you’re looking to get them directly from art stores try Paperboy off the J train. Anyway that’s the zine talk of the day, hope this helps someone find something new.

    I'm trying to get back into hobbies after a long time of burnout and just how you talk about things is really motivating! I've started playing cozy games, I'm trying to read more because my tbr is endless 😂, I crochet while listen to audio dramas ( currently addicted to the Magnus Archives!), colour, and play bass guitar, acoustic guitar and piano. I find learning instruments very cozy and comforting, and ukulele is a great entry point! Thanks again ❤❤

    An idea for creative writing is to write about all the times you've succeeded at something or tender moments you remember or compliments you received, things you're proud of, etc. I also like to watch CZcams videos as a hobby. I just skip around from one interesting topic to another. Yours popped up today! Dancing is also fun. I've been taking a line dancing class and practice with CZcams videos. Love jigsaw puzzles.

    I love so many of these ideas! I'm becoming addicted to your channel. 🌺🌸💮 Reading and listening to podcasts is my go-to cozy activity when I'm under major stress, but I love the ideas you have. And that you're always in search of the things that will give you "cozy joy." I'm a stress magnet, with lots of things around me that induce anxiety. So I'm always looking for that next thing to add to my Cozy collection. I do embroidery (what used to be called crewel) because my mom gave me her 50-year-old framed crewel embroidery to keep. And it inspired me. There are lots of freebie patterns online, and it requires only a few things to get started. Also, macrame!! It's back in style, after all these years. And it's easy. I'm still using little kits, but I can see that I'll be quickly graduating to freestyle pretty soon. Also, one more thing... I totally agree that magazines are the ultimate cozy. When I was in the hospital, and having a rather painful surgery done, I couldn't focus on anything that required my hands doing anything. But magazines gave me a peaceful feeling. 💚

    Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cozy DND?!? My family loves playing, but I don’t love the usual vibe. I’d love to play with similar cozy players in a cottage core world or something else wholesome…amazing! These are such great ideas, K! I’d love to branch out from my cozy gaming. You’ve inspired me so much. That waffle bag - wuuuuuut?!?

    This topic resonates with me. I'm in my 60s and remember how much I loved going through my mom's collection of magazines like Woman's Day and The Ladies Home Journal. I also hung around the magazine section of any store I was in. Reading is one of the most accessible hobbies there is. I also enjoy coloring now and then and doing crossword puzzles and anagrams. They were all great ideas.

    okay you've sold me on magazines!! i'm gonna go look up some subscriptions right now 💕 i started making lil earrings out of polymer clay last year which is so fun! nothing gives me more serotonin than wearing a cute messy pair of earrings in the shape of jam jars that i made with my own hands 🥰 lovely video, thank you!

    Regarding the magazine option, you may be surprised what your local library has available. Check the libraries near you to see what's there and it could help you save quite a bit of money. 👍

  • @claremiller9979

    This is such a cute video. I watched while doing my cross stitch 😂 another hobby i have is making wreaths - at first i just made a base from old coathangars twisted together but then i bought a wicker wreath base from a craft shop and it's much prettier. I use ribbons, or go to my backyard or down to the river near my house and clip leaves and flowers, and just stick em in there. It definitely isn't pinterest-worthy but i don't care, it's fun and relaxing for me.
    We got the kids a Switch for Christmas and i think i might need to "borrow" it and check out some of these cosy games. I haven't played anything except Mario kart since i was a preteen, the Sims came out when i was in uni and i didn't have time to play it.

    Love your video! Lots of great ideas. Some things I've done recently includes stenciling, watercolor painting, paint by number, collecting stickers and washi tape, writing letters, collecting rubber stamps, making soap, learning calligraphy, and growing my own herbs indoors. I recently got a needle felting kit on etsy but haven't tried it out yet.

    I like a lot of the hobbies you mentioned. I would add using Fountain pens to that list. I bought some in December and use them for everything, not even calligraphy. Literally for writing in my journals or taking notes, etc. I also make journals and planners and that is a super relaxing activity and fun! I do crochet as well and on my bucket list for 2023 id learning to knit. This year I did buy a few books to read but my goal is to also read through books I purchased in the past and never read. 🙂

    I looove this video. Some more cozy hobbies:
    1) plants - I love spending some time watering and taking care of my plants each week. It's so wholesome and makes me feel present.
    2) baking - I am just getting into baking bundt cakes and it's been so fun to experiment with different recipes and they look so cute when you're done!
    3) Painting my nails - I am a licensed nail tech but even before I was, I got a gel kit and there are so many amazing products available now to diy your nails and learn nail art. It makes you feel cute + a very grounding activity. Love your content!

    It’s funny that you bring up magazines. I get my kids one called, The Week, and it’s a nice summary of what’s happening in the world and shares a little on everything, tech, animals, sports, etc and I always end up reading it after them. And even has a puzzle/sudoku or “find what differences” in the back to bring in another hobby.

    @aliplay5 Před rokem +1

    Great ideas! One tip is that public libraries have magazines, physical and online versions you can borrow for free! I feel it doesn't create waste, I would hate to have even 12 magazines lying around at the end of the year, just creates trash and something taking up precious space. Same for books obviously!
