Hey :) I have a pro tip for you for getting into the body instead of the head in the morning :) I used to practice mindfulness with Thich Nhat Hanh for many years, read his books, listen to his teachings... And one thing that helped me immensely was when lying in bed still, before opening the eyes, noticing the body. And in my head I had these sentences "breathing in I notice I have a body. Breathing out I connect to my body. Breathing in I feel my body. Breathing out I smile to my body. Breathing in I am grateful for my body. Breathing out I realize that my body is a wonder. Breathing in I feel present in the moment. Breathing out I know that this is a wonderful moment. This moment. Wonderful moment." And then I practice gratitude for being alive and being offered this day and only then I get up and do my Yoga. This helpes immensely with not getting into the head and thinking of work especially as a self-employed person.
One thing that really helped me have a good and consistent morning routine was starting in the evening - I make overnight oats and put them in the fridge before going to bed and choose my outfit for the next day, so those choices are already taken care off. Sometimes I put out a cup with the tea bag already in it so I just have to add water. Small but useful little things really do help. These days I start work later so it's all a mess, but hopefully I come back to something cohesive again soon xD
I don’t like taking care of myself (brushing my teeth, washing my face…) and I don’t think I’m depressed (although I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder) but when I see you doing your skin care and and taking care of your teeth it makes me want to do that too, so thanks for helping me. I love your content so much, you’re my fave UA-camr! 💕🐾😺😺
If you’re interested, I highly recommend How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis - she has such a great take on how to manage care tasks in a self compassionate way!
part of being bipolar is the condition will 100% convince you that youre not sick. but also, bipolar is often misdiagnosed in place of autism or adhd i highly suggest a second opinion if you truthfully dont feel you are depressed.
GIRL I really needed to hear this. I just got my dream job and the anxiety of doing it right has stopped me from actually presenting my work and this just CLICKED. I just gotta turn up and learn on the job. I love this. Thanks so much!
You are so right about some of us needing to schedule our downtime, in terms of not just putting the time aside but actually deciding what *relaxing* things to do, in advance, do that we don't spend our whole time off doing other crap. If i don't write "take a bath" in my planner, I end up cleaning my damn house more. I have kids, there's ALWAYS more cleaning which could be done. Should I do it? No! I should take a bath!! Thx for the reminder. If i could get up an hour earlier I could plan a morning routine, but as it is I want (need) the sleep more so I roll straight into making lunches, waking, dressing and feeding two children, feeding a cat etc etc etc. I do get cuddles with said children so that's a nice slow part I will protect
Exactly, yes!! So guilty of creating work/tasks out of thin air when I just need to sit my butt down and chill out lolol (getting better tho!!) Also staying in bed and getting cuddles IS a routine! It’s one that works for you and I love that you honor that!🫶🏽
I saw someone on tiktok make a menu of hobbies/dopamine boosters and it’s now my go to when I catch myself scrolling all weekend. Apps - quick boosts under 30 minutes (stretch, walk, do nails) Entrees - passions that light you up (video games, reading, hike, visit a friend) Sides - something to make a boring activity better (light a candle, have a yummy drink) Desserts - usual go to’s but yucky in excess (scrolling, Netflix binge) Specials - (concert, travel) Could be fun to use to add to your itinerary 😊
For my fellow cozy friends, I’d really like to shine a light on the advice you gave at 28:57. I’ve struggled with anxiety, burnout, and wanting to keep things heavily structured and regimented myself in the past. Your advice reminded me of how I treated myself when I was a child with no concerns of what the world thought about me; I’d just let myself explore new avenues and be present and see what took form. Not sure if it’s been similar for you, K. As a creative myself, I’ve had to sort of decouple and decompress myself from a lot of bad habits I picked up that boxed me in from exploring and letting the process play out. I can’t tell you how helpful this section was for advice. Thank you so much! ☺️
Kennedy, I needed this video SO much. I am a work-focused, corporate chica too. I suffer with complex-PTSD and your videos have been so soothing and comforting. I have never given myself real space to do things just for fun. I’m so glad my sister connected me with your channel because you truly add to my healing journey. Thank you so much. Love ya bestie❤
❤ My cat passed away last Friday and this video is distracting me from my grief and comforting me today. Thank you so much for all your content and what you do. I’m still trying to heal from severe burnout as I worked 50-70 hour weeks for almost 3 years straight besides taking my 2 weeks vacation and a handful of personal days each year. It ended with a mental health breakdown last year and I’m still learning how to balance it all. Thank you for everything ♥️ your sweet kitty babies making biscuits is helping me so much
I think it’s important to go with your natural functions of how your mind works. In the morning you want to get work done then that’s natural. I’m more of an evening to night person, so I get all my chores, errands, and whatever else together in the morning. I’ll be more focused on work and whatever else done in the late afternoon to evening. It helps keep me from being frustrated about my to-to list.
This video made me think about how my morning is already kind of a routine. And I should take a moment and be much more intentional with the beginning of my day. Thanks for the inspiration!
Omg, the journaling prompts for planning your morning routine is genius! I've been wanting to change up my morning routine and now you've got me really excited about it. I'm going to sit down today and answer those same prompts. I think it'll help solidify my ideal morning routine but most importantly will give MEANING and PURPOSE to it. I love it! Thank you for sharing. :)
I really love the concept of the weekend itinerary! I can get caught up with how I "should" spend my weekend and I end up not doing much of what I really want to be spending my time on. Then Monday comes and I feel like I wasted my weekend. But today I used this concept of the weekend itinerary and I had a really lovely time at my favorite local lake sketching, swimming, and just enjoying being out in nature! Thanks Kennedy!🩷
32:58 I needed to hear this about consistently showing up. My feelings are valid, but they are also negatively impacting my studying and the outcome of that. I just gotta keep going and showing up.
As someone who's fitness routine prioritizes flexibility and mobility, you should incorporate counter-stretches in your routine to avoid soreness and pain! When you do the split stretch, you should follow it up with a shoelace pose in order to focus on the opposite muscles. If you only focus on the one side (the inner and not the outter) then you will be unbalanced. I also learned strength training is a huge part of ensuring your body isn't over exerting itself. Good luck with your fitness routine!
That variance routine method might actually change my life, I’ve gotta get on that. Last year I had a completely consistent work schedule and it was so easy to plan hobbies, workouts, and seeing friends and family around it, and a morning and evening routine just fell into place! This year I’ve been working shifts and had inconsistent days and those routines and priorities have just Dropped, but I’m gonna write down variants for what to do on my different shifts. I love this idea and thank you so much for sharing it!! 🧡
Hi Ken! Got some stressful news this morning as I was about to settle in and do some house cleaning, but am taking some inspo from you and pivoting to cozy crafts instead, with maybe light chores to get my mind off things. Thank you for being you! ❤❤❤
Such a cute froggy yoga mat. I love yoga mats that are soft like that. I've had 2 for a couple years and they've never lifted like that. Also, this video makes me wanna adopt a second cat so bad.
Love creating multiple morning routines! I find that if I wake up and can’t go about my usual routine I end up fizzling out and having an aimless morning. Definitely going to spend some time creating some alternative routines to turn to. Thank you for sharing ❤️
The end of this video found me at the perfect time. I’m starting an internship next week and I have been constantly thinking and worried about how it will pan out. Thanks for the mindfulness reminder :)
Watching this as I woke up super early for the first time in a very long time, it’s such a good practice to write down a routine and also look back and reflect on what I want to change or could do better, it’s such a good way of getting things done that you’ve been thinking about and haven’t done, and create a more healthy sustainable lifestyle! I was even stretching when you were doing yoga cause it reminded me how nice a morning stretch is too! Perfection 🕯️hope everyone has a great day at *their* pace :)
Nail drying spray! And/or Sally Hansen’s quick dry top coat! And/or running them under cold water! My mom used to do nails, so I was heavily immersed in the nail world lol
Thank you for sharing your experience and your cozy day, and your reflections on the book! Relating so hard with "the catching" quote. Got laid off in 2020 and decided to UA-cam full time, there were so many expectations about "the catching" and the fear of failure was drowning. But just by doing it, I learned that genuinely love creating content and interacting through it. Always lovely to catch up with your videos!
Went down the rabbit hole of Cozy K videos ❤ Thank you so much, I feel like I’m developing a completely new attitude towards life and that anything can be made cozy ☺️🦦 Thank youu and looking forward to see more of you ☺️ By the way, do you remember where you got that sweater and the sunflowers in the back? Stay safe ☺️
I’ve been struggling a lot lately to ground myself and today was the day I got on track. I clicked on your video and it always calms me down , love your content and community. I always take something helpful with me in each video.
Your cozy home vlogs have become a staples in my laundry routine. Like your body doubling with me while I put away laundry (my least favorite chore). So thank you for keeping me company ❤
I love your videos cozy k and I want to try to make a redue plan for my morning routine and night routine as well I feel like having a routine is very important for us to feel comfortable and productive throughout the day ❤
I love when I sign into UA-cam and see that you posted a new video! Of course post as often as you can/feel up for but just know we all love your content! 🤍
Love your videos, K. Thank you for always providing such a cozy spot on the internet for me. For the food smell on your hands, I recommend a stainless steel soap bar. Nothing compares.
Your channel's such an inspiration and it really drives me to continue to make time for myself and to ensure I care for myself and make time for cozy time.
I feel you with the exercise. Recently I’ve taken up lap swimming at my local pool and have been really loving it! how hard you want to push yourself and your muscles is completely up to you and I really like that as some days I’m not feeling like going hard but other days I really wanna go hard 😂
This was super motivating! I’ve been feeling a little stuck and decided to plan out a new morning and evening routine and am looking forward to trying them out 😊
Yesss the timing of this couldn't be better! It's the end of my work week and a new Cozy K video is out?! Heck yeah! Bring on the relaxation!! ✨️ hope you have a lovely weekend! ❤
I reworked my morning routine after your routine refresh video and it's really helped so far!! Also, fyi pretty sure that "Let July be July" post is from Morgan Harper Nichols :)
Me: the perfect promo/sponsorship doesn’t exis- OMG. ngl i skip over the promos/sponsers and I never take up the promo but I’ve been thinking about crafting a lil gift for my husband and this IS PERFECT!!
My suggestion is use a device first thing that does not have email on it but does have front and center all your routine stuff. If the phone has email, put it in another room and use your iPad…remove the work temptation!
I've been watching your content for a while now, not sure how long but long enough...😂 Anyway, although sometimes my schedule is ridiculous and absolutely disrespectful (life of a single parent), I've really had to learn to enforce boundaries and carve out some time to reset, mostly to myself for myself. I would push myself to the brink of meltdowns. I've been working remotely from home for over 3 years now, and at one point I was working 50 hour weeks for my corporate job, plus an additional 10-15 hours for my home based business. Eventually, I had to cure back a lot for my mental and emotional wellness. I've gone back to working a standard 40 hours, and I've been SLOWLY working on my home based business since I've decided to rebrand and relaunch it. I take Sunday as my rest day, and I enforce it heavily both with loved ones and myself. I swear, my favorite thing is to just become one with my couch on Sunday and watch all the true crime docuseries and various types of documentaries as I can handle. I've also implemented 30 min of before bed reading to slow down and get into a restful state. Before parenthood, I was reading upwards of 3 books a month, which I do miss, but I love my teenager more. So I've set a realistic goal of reading one new book a month plus however many audio books I can squeeze in while working. I say ALL OF THAT to say this, thank you for constantly reminding me to give myself grace and slow my a$$ down. 💜
day 47 fridge girl checking in to see if you wrote on your fridge yet! just kidding!! hahaha today i am leaving a comment to say i always love your mindfulness "sections", i am also on that journey myself and you always find new ideas for me to think about, so thank you!!
Random comment here, but my hands latch onto smell after I eat or when I cook as well. I've found that using stainless steel chef's soap has helped me! As always love the vid and hope you're doing well! 🌸🌷✨
Help what does Chila stand for/come from???? I remember hearing it in another video but I can’t remember and it’s driving me nuts 😔 Edit nvm it was answered in this video lmao
Love it!! Just in time for the weekend! I’m gonna try to do my hands and feet this weekend!! I just got a foot bath I’m so excited to try it but trying to gain the motivation to do this self care 😂 I also wanted to ask, do you think you could do a video relating to your personal belief/spirituality? Or your journey or thoughts of that area in your life? I hear you say several different things like being grateful, mindfulness, thanking the universe, etc. just curious! Totally understand if it’s an area in your life you choose not to put out. Thanks for the awesome videos!! Xoxo
aww yayy!! you’ll have to tell me how the foot bath is - i’ve always been curious about them! i don’t really have a spiritual journey! just kind of boppin around, grateful for life! lol
@@CozyK Yess! I want to share with you! I think I’m going to make a discord just to join your server- or should I do twitch? I’m not tooooo familiar with either. And ahh okay nice! ♥️
1st thank you for all of your content you are putting out! I really have enjoyed watching your videos, they have really helped heal my inner child and in my personal growth. 2nd , What is the book you were referencing in this video? Sounds like a great read!
I paused the video when I could see a bit of the cover and managed to find it cause I'm interested as well! It's ''The Practice: Shipping Creative Work'' by Seth Godin :)
Hi Kennedy! I have been a follower for awhile and love your stuff. As someone who is also diagnosed ASD I have incorporated a lot of your suggestions and have found them so helpful (Kindle, colouring, movement with yoga, etc.) Random question but I’ve seen you drink more matcha lately - have you stopped drinking coffee due to any reason? I ask because I have a hard time remembering to hydrate and eat (glad you had the Liquid IV rec as they’ve really helped) caffeine just makes me feel worse and I’ve noticed the slow release with match has made a big difference. Just wondering if maybe it was the same for you! Anyways, I’m loving these mindful videos and ways to manage habits! Lots of love from a Cali girl in Scotland ❤
Sorry my phrasing was poor by the way: I wasn’t implying any diagnosis on your part I meant as some who is Autistic I find your routines and suggestions soothing! Apologies if it’s implied otherwise!
I’m so glad they’ve helped!!🤎 I always drank decaf coffee, matcha, or chai lattes since too much caffeine gives me panic attacks! I used to be a matcha fiend back when I drank SB but hadn’t found a substitute for them until recently, so I’m back on my matcha kick! I totally agree that the slow release keeps the anxiety away!
@@CozyK makes a lot of sense and thought I’d ask! I’m feeling a lot better from a tummy perspective and a headache so it was just nice to see it! Thanks again for your content but especially this video it felt almost kismet! I’m taking a couple months off doing my PhD and learning to slow down in the right ways and your suggestions on having variant schedules is genius and something I’m going to implement. Hope they work and look forward to the next video! 😊
It is so cute how Chila is always wanting a treat and you know how people say that their pets tend to adopt their owners behavior/personality…😜Coincidence ?! I think notttt 😏😂 lol jkjk I would hope that maybe he sees it as quality time with mama but who knows 🤔 just speculating 😊
The anxiety of you painting your toes in your cozy corner without putting something under your feet to protect from accidents 😬 I would have somehow spilled the whole bottle of nail polish on the blanket/chair and panicked. I'm glad you had the confidence and bodily awareness to not be as much of a klutz as I can be.
Cozy K I’m trying to take better care of myself do you have ideas to give about taking better care of myself and about keeping my room clean I usually have clothes everywhere because I will wash clothes and won’t have a Laundry basket and when my clothes are done I won’t do them till the week after

Could be fun to use to add to your itinerary 😊
Ummm what I love this I’m totally doing it !

I feel you with the exercise. Recently I’ve taken up lap swimming at my local pool and have been really loving it! how hard you want to push yourself and your muscles is completely up to you and I really like that as some days I’m not feeling like going hard but other days I really wanna go hard 😂
Your videos soothe my anxiety 💕
This was super motivating! I’ve been feeling a little stuck and decided to plan out a new morning and evening routine and am looking forward to trying them out 😊
I've been debating the froggy yoga mat for months so thank you for the opinion! I think I'll wait for a revised release
Yesss the timing of this couldn't be better! It's the end of my work week and a new Cozy K video is out?! Heck yeah! Bring on the relaxation!! ✨️ hope you have a lovely weekend! ❤
Hi Cozy K I tried the Ole pop soda and I feel great I love the taste I had the strawberry vanilla one it was so yummy 😋
Azula slow blinked at us 🥹
omg girl read art & fear! all about what u were taking about !! so good :) ❤️
Painted my nails while watching this video! :)
twinsiesss
I reworked my morning routine after your routine refresh video and it's really helped so far!!
Also, fyi pretty sure that "Let July be July" post is from Morgan Harper Nichols :)
Always excited for a new video! Perfect way to wind down for the weekend! Love you girl❤
Me: the perfect promo/sponsorship doesn’t exis- OMG. ngl i skip over the promos/sponsers and I never take up the promo but I’ve been thinking about crafting a lil gift for my husband and this IS PERFECT!!
aww yayy!!! glad you liked!!
This video was really what I needed today. Thank you 🫶🏻
❤️ ur vlogs!!! Hair dryer to dry your nails or dunk in ice cold water bowl!!! Fur babies precious!
My suggestion is use a device first thing that does not have email on it but does have front and center all your routine stuff. If the phone has email, put it in another room and use your iPad…remove the work temptation!
Get Essie Quick Dry Drops!!!! They saved my life as a DIY nail girly who is also a Lil clumsy.
I've been watching your content for a while now, not sure how long but long enough...😂 Anyway, although sometimes my schedule is ridiculous and absolutely disrespectful (life of a single parent), I've really had to learn to enforce boundaries and carve out some time to reset, mostly to myself for myself. I would push myself to the brink of meltdowns. I've been working remotely from home for over 3 years now, and at one point I was working 50 hour weeks for my corporate job, plus an additional 10-15 hours for my home based business.
Eventually, I had to cure back a lot for my mental and emotional wellness. I've gone back to working a standard 40 hours, and I've been SLOWLY working on my home based business since I've decided to rebrand and relaunch it. I take Sunday as my rest day, and I enforce it heavily both with loved ones and myself. I swear, my favorite thing is to just become one with my couch on Sunday and watch all the true crime docuseries and various types of documentaries as I can handle. I've also implemented 30 min of before bed reading to slow down and get into a restful state. Before parenthood, I was reading upwards of 3 books a month, which I do miss, but I love my teenager more. So I've set a realistic goal of reading one new book a month plus however many audio books I can squeeze in while working.
I say ALL OF THAT to say this, thank you for constantly reminding me to give myself grace and slow my a$$ down. 💜
I grabbed some of that Matcha powder from your prime day picks and my husband & I love it! Thanks for the rec!
aww yayy!!
I’m jealous that you can do all the poses 😊
That AOL door sound was so triggering 😂😂 “WHO JUST GOT ONLINE”
Needed this after being too tired to do anything from a concert
Thank you ❤for Sharing have a a wonderful weekend 😊😊😊
Exactly what I’m up to today!!❤ happy Saturday
happy saturday!!
I am amazed when people can static stretch on cold muscles. My body hates me if I do this. I have to at least lightly warm up 😞 5:24
Very comforting video.. thanks for sharing 😊
My friends never believe me when I tell them my fluffy void cat loves uppies. Feel very vindicated to see your cat doing the same thing lol
😱cozy home vlog?! 📩 straight in my favourites playlist! 🙌🏻👏🏻🥹💖
day 47 fridge girl checking in to see if you wrote on your fridge yet! just kidding!! hahaha today i am leaving a comment to say i always love your mindfulness "sections", i am also on that journey myself and you always find new ideas for me to think about, so thank you!!
Random comment here, but my hands latch onto smell after I eat or when I cook as well. I've found that using stainless steel chef's soap has helped me! As always love the vid and hope you're doing well! 🌸🌷✨
Ooo i forgot about stainless steel soap!! Will check it out!
Help what does Chila stand for/come from???? I remember hearing it in another video but I can’t remember and it’s driving me nuts 😔
Edit nvm it was answered in this video lmao
Yayyyy can’t wait to watch this ❤
miserable people always find something to complain about. please don’t change for anyone
Love it!! Just in time for the weekend! I’m gonna try to do my hands and feet this weekend!! I just got a foot bath I’m so excited to try it but trying to gain the motivation to do this self care 😂
I also wanted to ask, do you think you could do a video relating to your personal belief/spirituality? Or your journey or thoughts of that area in your life? I hear you say several different things like being grateful, mindfulness, thanking the universe, etc. just curious! Totally understand if it’s an area in your life you choose not to put out. Thanks for the awesome videos!! Xoxo
aww yayy!! you’ll have to tell me how the foot bath is - i’ve always been curious about them!
i don’t really have a spiritual journey! just kind of boppin around, grateful for life! lol
@@CozyK Yess! I want to share with you! I think I’m going to make a discord just to join your server- or should I do twitch? I’m not tooooo familiar with either. And ahh okay nice! ♥️
twitch is for the livestreams and discord is just for all of us to chit chat here and there! so, whichever you prefer!!
@@CozyK Okay thanks for the mini rundown, I’ll look into them asap! I’m excited!! 🥰
Literally yesterday I was like I am going to STOP cleaning in my mornings bc I feel like it ends up scattering my brain so much haha
1st thank you for all of your content you are putting out! I really have enjoyed watching your videos, they have really helped heal my inner child and in my personal growth. 2nd , What is the book you were referencing in this video? Sounds like a great read!
I paused the video when I could see a bit of the cover and managed to find it cause I'm interested as well! It's ''The Practice: Shipping Creative Work'' by Seth Godin :)
Hi Kennedy! I have been a follower for awhile and love your stuff. As someone who is also diagnosed ASD I have incorporated a lot of your suggestions and have found them so helpful (Kindle, colouring, movement with yoga, etc.)
Random question but I’ve seen you drink more matcha lately - have you stopped drinking coffee due to any reason? I ask because I have a hard time remembering to hydrate and eat (glad you had the Liquid IV rec as they’ve really helped) caffeine just makes me feel worse and I’ve noticed the slow release with match has made a big difference. Just wondering if maybe it was the same for you!
Anyways, I’m loving these mindful videos and ways to manage habits! Lots of love from a Cali girl in Scotland ❤
Sorry my phrasing was poor by the way: I wasn’t implying any diagnosis on your part I meant as some who is Autistic I find your routines and suggestions soothing! Apologies if it’s implied otherwise!
I’m so glad they’ve helped!!🤎 I always drank decaf coffee, matcha, or chai lattes since too much caffeine gives me panic attacks! I used to be a matcha fiend back when I drank SB but hadn’t found a substitute for them until recently, so I’m back on my matcha kick! I totally agree that the slow release keeps the anxiety away!
@@CozyK makes a lot of sense and thought I’d ask! I’m feeling a lot better from a tummy perspective and a headache so it was just nice to see it!
Thanks again for your content but especially this video it felt almost kismet! I’m taking a couple months off doing my PhD and learning to slow down in the right ways and your suggestions on having variant schedules is genius and something I’m going to implement. Hope they work and look forward to the next video! 😊
Would never take offense to that implication!
For the longes time, I thought Chila (am I even spelling it right lol) was Sheila and was so confused why you kept referring to him as a boy 😂
Ok, after watching a little further his name is Chilaquiles!!! Omfg SO CUTE!!!
Love the idea of your weekend self-care template! Do you have it on your Pinterest, do not have Canva? Thanks!
Noo, I don’t! Canva allows you to move around the text and customize it to your liking, so I don’t have a static image version!
It is so cute how Chila is always wanting a treat and you know how people say that their pets tend to adopt their owners behavior/personality…😜Coincidence ?! I think notttt 😏😂 lol jkjk I would hope that maybe he sees it as quality time with mama but who knows 🤔 just speculating 😊
The anxiety of you painting your toes in your cozy corner without putting something under your feet to protect from accidents 😬 I would have somehow spilled the whole bottle of nail polish on the blanket/chair and panicked. I'm glad you had the confidence and bodily awareness to not be as much of a klutz as I can be.
Where are your reusable under eye masks from? They are so cute😍
Amazn! They’re the brand pacifica!
Random question, where did you get that tongue scraper? I’ve been looking for one like that!! And recipe for the Thai curry, it looked so good 😍
Target!! Thai curry was from cook unity!
Hi, where is your tv stand from?
I need those reusable eye masks!
That muscle is the adductors
try doing gel polish with a UV lamp! way quicker and convenient :)
gel messes up my nails:’)
@@CozyK aw ,im sorry about that 😭💜
OMGG where did you get that big container of Jade Leaf?? I drink that religiously lol
amazon!
@CozyK oooh okay!! Thanks queen 🩵
Cozy K I’m trying to take better care of myself do you have ideas to give about taking better care of myself and about keeping my room clean I usually have clothes everywhere because I will wash clothes and won’t have a Laundry basket and when my clothes are done I won’t do them till the week after
