As a corporate lawyer who is on her notice period, I completely relate to your feelings about being in survival mode. And that free-time anxiety may be an ongoing symptom of burnout! Great video :)
Hi Cozy K I was feeling burnt out last week I was so exhausted 😩 and yesterday I needed a self care 💆♀️ day today is going to be another chill day I slept in this morning until 9:01am and i feel so much happier I did my skin care and had some coffee ☕️ it’s already 10:02am time is going by way too fast 💨 lol 😂
Omg yes. I LOVE looking through magazines. Something about curling up under a blanket and flipping through pages to look at pretty pictures is so cozy to me!
Really appreciate the openness and authenticity in this vlog - it can be so easy to glamorize people's lives online when you have no real idea of their struggles and mindset. I hope you can learn to enjoy the extra time because you definitely deserve it!
It's obvious how much care you put into your content for us. Your videos and your voice make me feel so calm, and I'm really grateful for this channel. 💌🗝️🌻✨
It made me laugh so much when you were like "Oh body, you're so silly!" This is my unwinding time for the week. Yesterday was ROUGH and I'm still tired from it. It was nice to watch you chilling. I've been dipping into a lot of the older videos since I'm still a new-ish cozy friend.
I completely relate to the anxiety portion of this video! I have always pushed myself so hard in my day to day work and am trying to force myself to turn my computer off at the end of my actual work day so I can "relax" (still learning what that means to me). But then I sit there and get anxiety because I'm not working or doing chores and then cannot enjoy the relaxing time. It's an ongoing journey to learn to relax and do things that make you happy. Thanks for sharing this video and showing us we are not alone!
I love your aesthetic! You have such a great energy and recommendations. I have also never thought how to style brown in a home and with outfits but you rock it. Just feels like we're hanging out as I'm cleaning my house. Love and light to you 🤎
I'd love to see more of your real behind the scenes life! Streaming and everything is great but this vlog was especially wonderful getting to learn more about you and see what a vlogger/social/influencer life is like (prepping, scheduling, to-dos etc.). Thanks for sharing and hope to see more!
I love your vlogs!!❤ also yes unwinding with some reading is the best way to wrap up a busy day 🥹 it’s a good reminder because today I have to do a lot of prep work for university so a break is needed later ✨
I discovered you last year at a time where I was getting into gaming again as a young-adult, and I haven't left since. I love how welcoming this space feels, so warm and loving. So calm. I love that you have made the choice to have more space for feelings and processing life. I am a psychology master student rn, and I know it can get difficult to get out of survival mode, with all the anxiety and guilt. But deep inside, there's always something inside of you that knows what to do🤍🤍🤍
Really resonated with the workaholic chat 🥺💕 I used to think it was a healthier coping mechanism but after finally trying to move away from it I've also felt how damaging that 'always on' and survival mode mentality can be. Congrats on your progress 💕💕
Thank you for this video and real talk, you literally talked about things that I struggle with and it really helps. I work all the time and this year my goal is to prioritize myself and this video is just *chefs kiss* ✨💕
You're such a go-getter. It's really inspiring as someone who's trying to make things work in content creating and such. Thank you! I'd love to see more vlog videos! ❤
Thanks for sharing, Kennedy! (About the job thing). I feel so validated with my recent decision to leave my job now. 😭😭😭😭 My body has decided to just sleep the anxiety off at this point. So excited for more content from you ❤️🩹
I love these vlogs! I've also felt the anxiety of having free time after being real busy for a long time. I think for me I pushed through it and still forced myself to play games, watch TV, etc in my free time, and eventually it felt normal (not anxious) and necessary to my well being. Hope you end up at a similar place in your journey :)
Hi Cozy K I have the day off today I am so happy 😁 I am enjoying the quiet 🤫 and watching vlogs and reading 📖 my book 📚 it’s a rainy day today so it’s perfect for staying indoors ❤😊
Wow yes! I relate so much to the fact that I feel guilty during down time. 👏🏻 you’ve put this so beautifully and really helped me understand those feelings. Thank you 🥹
I feeeeeel you with not trying to force things. I learned that recently and it actually makes me feel a lot better about myself. My ADD doesn’t allow me to work against it some days 😅
EXERCISE! It's not just a gimmick. Stress hormones build up in the body and when you're sitting there trying to relax, your body is wanting to move to get rid of these hormones and so its creating a feeling of anxiety and anticipation. It's also great that you notice these feelings and are letting them pass but it's a proven science that exercise will definitely help. I can imagine all the highs and lows you experience while creating content and all of that is building and building. You can start with interval running like 1 min of running and 2 min walk, slow pace. Just 30 minutes a day of moderate activity, not yoga or stretching or walking (Those are definitely great as well, though!) will help tremendously! I absolutely love your channel, by the way!
Hearing about your struggles with work really resonates with me! I have a corporate position right now and I feel like the stress of it is draining the life out of me. I never feel good enough for them and I live in constant fear that I may lose my job 😞 it’s so exhausting emotionally. So I am so proud of you for doing what was best for yourself and so happy to hear you are feeling better!! 🥰 I really need to find time for self care and to de-stress. I am still trying to figure that out though! Lol
Thank you so much for this video! You and your whole vibe are just gorgeous! ❤ This is calming me down so much. Edit: I totally feel the workaholic thing, but it’s so difficult to not become a workaholic when your lucky enough to have your hobby as work. At least for me it’s the case. I have to be so careful to not overdo it, because I love doing it. Even though it’s exhausting from time to time. 😅
The true life of a vlogger 😂😅 Really enjoyed watching this video, it’s so cozy!! I kinda missed seeing these kinds of vlogs on your channel, so I’m happy you’re back with one again 🥰🤎🤎 (I also enjoy your other content of course! Keep it up 😍)
I'm so happy you were able to quit your job to pursue a passion. I totally get work burn out (healthcare) and feeling like you're in survival mode. Thank you so much for your videos.
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊 I do feel I have been in workaholic mode, especially last year 🥴 and you reminded me of the importance of feeling "human" and working on better balance ✨💃🏽
I was watching an old video of yours where you said you didn’t want to quit your job for a while and you didn’t want a second cat because Chila is crazy. Now look at you, quitting your job and with a second kitty ❤ I love it!
I’m new to your channel but I’m so glad I found it. This video felt like hanging out with a friend 😊. I got some interior design ideas from it, as a bonus 😂
I literally have a stack of magazines if I keep it up I might end up have stacks upon stacks! Or sometimes I’d take the old magazines and cut out things I’d enjoy from them and recycle them afterwords!.
Hi Cozy K it feels good to sleep in I was really tired 😴 yesterday and on Friday and it was a busy week I am excited for this week because I am working out 🏋️♀️ on Monday and then on Tuesday I work and then on Wednesday I am going to play some pickle ball and then on Thursday I work and then on Friday I have a self care 💆♀️ day and then on Saturday another self care day and then on Sunday every one relaxes ❤😊
I’m absolutely going through the same burnout where I was so busy that I had no time for anything and now I have time to sit and relax and I feel physically sick and anxious because I’m not constantly doing productive things which makes me ADHD spiral and then I don’t do the things I need to do either. I also tried to start a cozy gaming Tik tok and it was doing really well at first and now it’s not and I just feel like a failure and like I don’t know how to meet my goals.
ugh i feel that so so much! i feel like giving ourselves grace and patience for the time we need to adjust is the best route. and as for tiktok, i’d say if you’re passionate about it to keep going!! social media is always a rollercoaster of highs and lows and the only diff b/w those that succeed is that they stuck it out through the lows!🤎
@@CozyK we absolutely need and deserve grace and patience and all the self love. Life is hard. We don’t get enough time to be in touch with ourselves and our needs and passions as we should. And thank you for the encouragement 💕 I’m going to keep up with it and do my best.
@@CozyK I cant believe I didnt reply to this! I think thats totally right! I'm just trying to post and go live as much as I can and be patient with it. I love the cozy gaming community and I inally got over 2000 subscribers. I hope it keeps growing because I'm meeting so many nice people ad it's really helping me heal my inner child and learn to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Watching this a year later and hear "i dont have time to cook for myself" and we are back here now but thank goodness for things like Factor existing hehe :)
If you like all things cozy maybe try bella grace's the cozy issue magazines i love their magazines and their journal prompts field guide to everyday magic been only reading a few books and mostly magazines love your videos so cozy
Hi Cozy K happy Friday I have been playing star dew valley and I have not been playing fae farm it’s really buggy and I think I need a new Nintendo switch next year I am thinking of customizing my Nintendo switch to be more earthy because I love earthy colors they make me happy 😊
Hi Cozy K tomorrow I am going to work and then after work I am going to spend time with my auntie Heather and get a coffee ☕️ at gimme coffee because their coffee is so delicious 😋 ❤😊
Ugh I just had my ex-psychiatrist fraudulently charge me hundreds of dollars and had to get a whole new CC # and tonight just sucks but this video helps. :)
now that you've been able to build up your channel here, have you been able to rely solely on content creation for your finances after quitting other job?

yesss definitely residual burnout! and here’s to the last push during your notice period!!🍻
Most relatable comment ever 😭 I feel so seen!
I wish you the best!

This was the perfect video companion to my day of wanting to be cozy but still needing to get stuff done. You are such a lovely and calming presence!

Hi Cozy K I am so glad it’s thanksgiving because I love eating 🍽️ food 🥘 and spending time with my loved ones ❤😊
This was a lovely way to unwind during my lunch break: I was crocheting along with you while you were streaming ☺️ thanks for a great vlog!
Wow yes! I relate so much to the fact that I feel guilty during down time. 👏🏻 you’ve put this so beautifully and really helped me understand those feelings. Thank you 🥹
your videos are so cosy, they always make me prioritise my coziness ❤ thank you
Your videos make me so happy , glad I started my last work day of the week with seeing your productiveness ❤️
I love Aerie. My sister ended up getting me the pj pants of those same print!

What kind of tablet do you use?
IPad Air!
LOL no time for anything except work.....- me with my three jobs
Do you think you’d ever work as a lawyer again? Or was it just not the best job? Love your content ❤
If I ever have the urge again I definitely would but content creation makes me fully satisfied right now, so not until that changes!
Nice
What?!! 6:04 you quit your job?!!!
i diiiddd!!
Girllll, I love your videos! SO COZY! But don’t use bath & body products on your beautiful skin!!! So many chemicals 😷
Ahhh good point! Now I have a valid reason to declutter then all😈
now that you've been able to build up your channel here, have you been able to rely solely on content creation for your finances after quitting other job?
Yess all of my social platforms combined allow me to rely on content creation!
