i would love a future video where it’s like “color with me” and it’s just like an hour and a half of cozy vibes and music and we can color together in silence. it would be so cute!
Thank you for the reminder that hobbies are meant to be fun and not perfect. I gave up creative writing and learning how to crochet because I wasn't good at it in my mind.
I have a gardening journal where I draw my garden design, keep track of the flowers I've planted, what care they need, and the months they bloom! I also sketch my flowers in the journal and press flowers I planted x ❤🌷
This is literally GOLD for my ADHD. when im understimulated i need BRAIN ON. And when im overstimulated i def need brain off. Sounds obvious, but i never like realised consciously. And I saw your shorts about it and my brain went 🤔💡. I always wondered why all my hobbies felt like no fun. Because the ones i was thinking about werent serving what i needed in the moment!!
me literally crocheting as I watch this 😂 I think for me, crocheting can be "brain on" when I start a project & am trying to figure out what I'm meant to be doing, but once I feel familiar with the instructions it's more brain off. Like you, I struggle to watch things if that's the only thing I'm doing, so crochet is often a go-to for me while I'm watching youtube videos.
Same feelings on the crochet project, especially when following a new pattern. I was also crocheting while watching this, hehehe. If you want to share, What project were you working on?
I never knew why I couldn't follow through with a hobby or got tired with them so quickly. But curating my own "Brain Off" and "Brain On" hobby lists has really helped me realize what my brain needs when managing my ADHD.
I genuinely love the message that you don’t have to be good at something to do it or enjoy it. It’s really helped me set aside perfectionism and anxiety and just try the things I want to try.
My fave new cozy hobby has been candlestick painting! It looks so whimsical and also low pressure because I just use up the candlestick if it doesn't look "cute" but it's so so fun!
ok I'm dying at the "listen to an audiobook" counter😂 I love these ideas tho! I have the supplies for probably over half of these hobbies so this was a good reminder to pull some of them out again lol
Im surprised you didn’t mention an instrument. Piano is my #1 hobby. I memorize everything so it can either be brain on or brain off. Learning a new section of a piece can be very challenging & definitely occupies your mind & it can be SO SATISFYING & exciting adding a new piece to the puzzle building on what you’ve already learned when things start sticking & you see the improvement before you eyes/ears. & then I just love playing the pieces I’ve already learned purely using muscle memory which is great cuz it takes like 25% brain power & I can just get really into it & feel the music as I play, which is also so satisfying & makes me feel really empowered like wow I’m just casually playing this impressive piece like a talented musician🥰🎹✨
I think you're right about textile crafts being in the middle, but not just for the reason you said. Once you're good at a craft and have collected a bunch of sub-skills, you then have the ability to work on projects that will be brain off OR brain on, depending on what you're in the mood for. The possibility space is massive with these, and you can totally tailor them to whatever experience you want or need in that moment (once you clear a certain skill barrier, of course).
I currently don’t have a yard I can use for gardening, but I do have a nice sunny deck! I bought a bunch of 20 gallon fabric pots (also called grow bags) and am growing some very happy tomatoes and cucumbers :) it’s worth a try!
One of my personal favorite brain on hobbies is note taking. It can kinda fall in the middle depending on the day but finding a good video on a topic you want to learn more about or just like the vibes of is great to just take notes on and relax! Fun fact: that is how I discovered Cozy K in the first place was just following a note taking rabbit hole😅
I’m an artist and I totally agree with you about oil pastels! I think another thing that makes them a good “brain-off hobby” is that they’re so tactile and fun sensory-wise. Smuding and blending them all over the paper with my hands is so freaking soothing 🥸
Such a true point about cozy games being different for different people and different times. I have been loving getting into cozy games (thanks to binging your channel while trying to recover from burnout), but I will never play one that involves time-crunch-task-management. I'm gaming as a break from work--I don't want to have the stresses of work in a game! 😂 But I totally get that a lot of people really love building worlds and communities in things like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. Great video with lots of variety of recommendations, and more tools for our fun/relaxation toolbox! 🥰
I hope lots and lots of people get into gardening!!! Not too sure how things work in the US but over here (Australia) we have lots of monthly gardening magazines that covers topics from how to structure your garden to the basics. Gardening Australia is a great show that’s given some good tips. Most of my gardening knowledge though has come from volunteering in a community garden. It’s a pretty simple hobby (depending what you want to grow) but every plant has the same steps, just in different degrees. My only thing is to be educated on what’s invasive in your area as even if it’s invasive it can be sold in stores !! I also highly encourage people to plant natives along with your veggies.
You CAN garden. Even a small outdoor space can be used for a big vegetable garden. I follow be a farm girl here on UA-cam and she has opened up my world to the Greenstalk vertical gardener. In my apartment I only have a small patio out front and let me tell you I fit two of those out there and I have about 100 plants now growing food. you can even put them on a balcony. They only take up 2 feet of space and can grow about 42 plants each. They are life-changing.
I know you posted this a month ago, but I’m just seeing it today and this is exactly how my PMDD is. I have creative, brain days, and then 2 weeks of brain off, put beads on a string, do a 10,000 piece puzzle. Brain on and off is a great way to describe it!
You don't even realize how much I would like to be your friend,I LOOOVE the way you explain things and you're literally so cool,you're my comfort youtuber
SUCH a great point at 5:20. I have really struggled with this when it comes to practicing my creativity in adulthood! I really like the way you frame it as a challenge to get yourself lost in the creativity. Thanks for this video 💛🎨
This was so fun! I’m a knitter and agree with some of the other comments about textile crafts and your own categorization as them in the middle of brain on and off. I have some knitting projects/ steps of a knitting project that are completely brain off because I’ve been knitting for years and can knit stockinette or ribbing without looking/thinking. But then I’ll have shaped sweaters, cables, lace, and color work that requires brain on. I love love the versatility of knitting for that reason and it’s part of why I struggle to do other cozy hobbies even though I’d love to paint and game more. Knitting is just so all encompassing for me!
Yay!! I just ordered coloring books, markers and order some books getting ready to start some hobbies and habits to change up my routine! Great to see your videos! 🤩
I love coloring! Always did. That’s the main reason I started creating coloring pages and selling on Etsy 4 yrs ago and now I added more to my main shop on Shopify. Working on couple fall books too. Coloring is so satisfying 🤗
You motivated me to start working on scrapbooking project (gift for my bf). I realized I was nervous to start because I want it to be perfect 💜 I love all of your advice! remember to take a break as needed, even tv shows have an off season (:
Kennedy, Your videos/content has helped me get through so much this summer 🫂! You’ve shared such brilliant ideas, and concepts that have really made me think and consider where I need change in my life, or how I can make things easier for myself. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for creating and sharing all these amazing videos & vlogs! So much love & gratitude to you 💗🥰✨!
A mobile game i recommend that relaxing and very brain off is cats and soup...its cats making soup. it's cute and relaxing. Even if you play for 10 minutes now and then, it's quite lovely
if you are into gardening i would totally recommend starting a small indoor house plants- propagation, succulents are fun and easy to care and you can also propagate those leaves very easily. its fun to watch them grow and shop for different pots and plant "accessories" . Also if you like to eat healthy you can grow sprouts in your window sills and use them in multiple food recipes :))
For gardening, just having a little herb garden m in the kitchen window or a raised planter on an apt patio is good for beginning gardening. I also recently purchased a few citrus trees since they take a couple years to produce mature enough and are okay with being grown in containers for quite a while. Also they smell divine when they are flowering!
Listen, I LOVE gardening, and have taken over my bf's back patio with grow bags. It is super fulfilling and relaxing, but it's definitely not a cheap hobby. Just a caution because I know sometimes jumping into new hobbies can become stressful when you don't really budget accordingly. It's been a very slow building hobby for me even from one year to the next, but I HIGHLY recommend everyone try growing and nurturing something.
We always take puzzles on our family beach vacations! First night we get it started on the kitchen table in a condo and someone is typically always at the table piddling on it throughout the vacation! One of our fave traditions now!
Thanks for another great hobby video!! So fun!❤🎉---I love coloring so much! I have an artistic background and can get so serious about say sketching. Coloring books lets me play with colors, add shading, but still relax my mind. The picture is already drawn and my brain knows the only goal is fill in the picture. I get to create without the pressure I put on myself. 😊😊
Hi! I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy watching your videos. I am going thru a new phase in life where my kids are getting a little older and I am finding myself with more free time I never had before. I didn’t know how to fill it and I have found so many of your ideas enjoying and I actually can’t wait now to get off of work and do them when before I was so bored and felt lonely so “thank you!!” You have brought some wonderful new hobbies into my life!
So excited for this fall season, and you’re right on-time with this video, Kennedy! Moving to a new place, so it’ll be great to find new cozy hobbies to reset with. Also, thank you so much for the shoutout in your London vlog for LiveitlikeLauren’s channel. She has such cozy vlogs and has helped me greatly in finding peace with being myself as well.
love these!! i feel like knitting and crotcheting would sit in the inbetween list, specifically because there are times where you're doing the same type of knot for like hours and that's very brain off, but then you get to a new part of the pattern or you have to count your stitches and it becomes very brain on! it's a balance, for sure
After hearing you talk about it in a different video I tried gem painting while on a solo trip and it was the best thing! So relaxing. 😊 Now I’m addicted.
I've picked up a few new hobbies from your videos and I super appreciate the brain off ones, sometimes you just need to mellow out a bit from all the thoughts.
The audiobook test is perfect! I haven't gotten all the way through the video yet, but I'm an avid crocheter and I cannot listen to an audiobook while crocheting, but I can watch a show/youtube video/listen to music!
This has been so helpful. I feel like sometimes I just need a brain off activity but would just go on my phone. Now I have new non screen activities for when I'm low energy.😊
Brain Off game suggestions: Katamari Damacy!! and Okami! both oldies but goodies, for Okami you do have to think a little bit but there's fun just running in beautiful landscapes and exploring~ Brain On game suggestions: Any of the Persona series also Pokemon Snap
I took notes! I want to change so bad. My hobby is binge eating, binge watching UA-cam or TikTok and reading comments while halfway listening to the videos😭😭😭😭
Omg you mentioned one of my favorite coloring apps!! I love Happy Color!! I also love Cross Stitch World and Recolor! That’s definitely my go to brain off hobby! My brain on/in the middle hobbies include draw digitally and of course cozy gaming! And other kinds of gaming as well. 😁
My partner and I love playing Skip-Bo every night 😂 I just throw on shuffle on some of my fav playlists, make a nice beverage, and we just chill 🩷 another card game we play a lot is Magic the Gathering 🔮it's actually so nice and chill and fun and it's a great way for us to bond and just have a nice laugh together haha Also, making diff playlists is another lovely hobby to engage in. I'd say this fits in the "Brain On" category but idk ..it could work in the "somewhere in between" too😅
Thank you for the cozy chat! For me reading is a brain off hobby unless I am reading a book where I actually want to learn or remember something. Fiber arts for me can be brain off when I'm working on a granny stitch project or a Raglan sweater. Because I don't play video games that often they tend to be more brain on for me. I've enjoyed them still, except candle tale hahaha. Really thought I would but I was googling so much to get through tasks that two hours in I wanted my money back 😅🤣.
One of my passive hobbies is finding new coffee shops, cafés and thrift stores to visit. I am also a knitter so knitting is a brain off hobby for me. (Yes, I do listen to audio books while knitting) 😂
There's been a few times where coloring while listening to a fantasy audiobook chilled me out TOO much, people are dying and things are on fire and I'm just like: la la la la la~ 😂 but I do love it🤭
Wingspan!!!! So good and also available on Steam and Switch. Cannot recommend more. I play against a computer to wind down and the relaxing music makes me sleepy. ☺️
Hi Cozy K i changed my sheets and I vacuumed my room and cleaned the bathroom and I was playing on my Nintendo Switch and I was having a blast I love logging on to animal crossing and seeing all of my villagers and my island 🏝️ is still not finished I am hopefully going to finish my island and fully decorate my island and upgrade my house 🏡 and get the upgraded storage because I want to store more furniture ❤😊 and decorate the outside of my house 🏡 on the exterior 😊 I was playing palia yesterday and the game rudely kicked me out it’s so frustrating I need to get a new Nintendo Switch at some point 😊
I was so frustrated with my first Wool & The Gang knitting project but once I got started I finished all the episodes of Succession. With that being said, the instructions said it would take about eight hours.. no ma'am, this was more like forty! 🤣
I recently was considering getting an iPad because I saw another influencer say she does her crosswords on it. It made me think there's probably other hobbies I could do on an iPad and would love for you to do an iPad/tablet-specific hobbies video!! or just a general what's on my iPad and what I use my iPad for!!
I wanted to recommend a brain off cozy game that I don't ever see mentioned in these line ups: Overcrowd (Commute em up). I also consider Civ6 a brain off cozy game but I have like a thousand hours in that game so that might just be because it's a core skill for me at this point, I also play it on low or medium difficulty, like all games because I don't like to stress out over them. Brain on cozy game would be Hogwarts Legacy for me, I had to finish the call I was on because I couldn't do both (and I have ADHD). Also, The Planet Crafter, although once you get it going it gets pretty lulll in the middle so then it's a brain off, in fact I would just leave it going on the computer and do something else in the meantime so that the terraformation progresses but I don't have to do anything.
I definitely can knit a pair of basic socks with no brain focus but give me an actual pattern and forget it. I need to be like hidden away in a room lol.
I started playing with oil pastels literally yesterday, and I was going ham. 😂It was nice to not be a perfectionist for two seconds. Pastels is brain off for me. lol.
i would love a future video where it’s like “color with me” and it’s just like an hour and a half of cozy vibes and music and we can color together in silence. it would be so cute!
yessss!
sometimes i know we all share a brain because this is a comin👀
that's such a good idea!
love this, she does such great body doubling content
I love this idea ❤

And I saw your shorts about it and my brain went 🤔💡. I always wondered why all my hobbies felt like no fun. Because the ones i was thinking about werent serving what i needed in the moment!!

Like you, I struggle to watch things if that's the only thing I'm doing, so crochet is often a go-to for me while I'm watching youtube videos.
Same!! Once I get the steps down for a specific piece it’s repetitive and brainless. Perfect for watching tv lol
1000% agree with you! Once I get it, I'll watch TV and have other projects going while I crochet 😂
Same feelings on the crochet project, especially when following a new pattern. I was also crocheting while watching this, hehehe. If you want to share, What project were you working on?
Not me, I can only focus on one thing at a time. Unless I'm coloring while listening to music.🖼️🖍️🎧🎼🎵🎶
Same here! Haven’t gotten good enough to be able to look away yet though so tv is listen only mode haha
I never knew why I couldn't follow through with a hobby or got tired with them so quickly. But curating my own "Brain Off" and "Brain On" hobby lists has really helped me realize what my brain needs when managing my ADHD.
I genuinely love the message that you don’t have to be good at something to do it or enjoy it. It’s really helped me set aside perfectionism and anxiety and just try the things I want to try.
cant wait for your fall videos!!
Yeeeees! I love fall, Is so cozyyy
YESSS
Your sweater is making me want it to be autumn so bad 😭😭😭
My fave new cozy hobby has been candlestick painting! It looks so whimsical and also low pressure because I just use up the candlestick if it doesn't look "cute" but it's so so fun!
what kind of colours do you use for painting the candles?
@@Hanna-rj4lyusually you use melted candles. You get tea candles different colours and light them to get the colours
@@Glory4ever1 thx!
Thank you so much for talking about how important it is to let go of perfectionism with hobbies!!
ok I'm dying at the "listen to an audiobook" counter😂 I love these ideas tho! I have the supplies for probably over half of these hobbies so this was a good reminder to pull some of them out again lol
Im surprised you didn’t mention an instrument. Piano is my #1 hobby. I memorize everything so it can either be brain on or brain off. Learning a new section of a piece can be very challenging & definitely occupies your mind & it can be SO SATISFYING & exciting adding a new piece to the puzzle building on what you’ve already learned when things start sticking & you see the improvement before you eyes/ears. & then I just love playing the pieces I’ve already learned purely using muscle memory which is great cuz it takes like 25% brain power & I can just get really into it & feel the music as I play, which is also so satisfying & makes me feel really empowered like wow I’m just casually playing this impressive piece like a talented musician🥰🎹✨
I have had perfectionism so bad I almost failed out of art school, and I think junk-journaling is BRILLIANT. SO EXCITED TO TRY IT.
I think you're right about textile crafts being in the middle, but not just for the reason you said. Once you're good at a craft and have collected a bunch of sub-skills, you then have the ability to work on projects that will be brain off OR brain on, depending on what you're in the mood for. The possibility space is massive with these, and you can totally tailor them to whatever experience you want or need in that moment (once you clear a certain skill barrier, of course).
I currently don’t have a yard I can use for gardening, but I do have a nice sunny deck! I bought a bunch of 20 gallon fabric pots (also called grow bags) and am growing some very happy tomatoes and cucumbers :) it’s worth a try!
I love to see gardening here because so often on a weekend I'll look up and I've spent four hours in my veggie garden 😅
One of my personal favorite brain on hobbies is note taking. It can kinda fall in the middle depending on the day but finding a good video on a topic you want to learn more about or just like the vibes of is great to just take notes on and relax!

I’m an artist and I totally agree with you about oil pastels! I think another thing that makes them a good “brain-off hobby” is that they’re so tactile and fun sensory-wise. Smuding and blending them all over the paper with my hands is so freaking soothing 🥸

Great video with lots of variety of recommendations, and more tools for our fun/relaxation toolbox! 🥰
I am totally the same way when watching tv or a movie. Can't just do that alone!😂
You would be a fantastic therapist for teens! This is great stuff for mental health!

Not too sure how things work in the US but over here (Australia) we have lots of monthly gardening magazines that covers topics from how to structure your garden to the basics.

thank you for the tips!!
i have not yet started my hobby journey but i just love listening to you talk about your passion! lots of love from brasil
You are our Cozy Queen, 🥰 Thank you for another fun video. Have a good weekend.
Coloring on happycolor while watching this to end the day 😌✨
Literally watching this while crocheting 🤣
I loved to see more indept videos of the hobby's, like which supply. Cause I love buying hobbies but then not doing them😂

a great way to start gardening without a backyard is a small herb garden the kitchen! 💌mint, basil, and parsley are good beginning plants
Hello cozy k💜 I love your videos so relaxing 💯💯💯

thank you! amazing video
I've picked up a few new hobbies from your videos and I super appreciate the brain off ones, sometimes you just need to mellow out a bit from all the thoughts.
Instead of scrapbooking, making collages helps me :) like on my phone and making little highlights for my Instagram is so relaxing to do
My favorite brain off games are the resident evil games even tho most people wouldn’t consider them to be “cozy” lol
Great suggestions! I enjoyed this video so much!
The audiobook test is perfect! I haven't gotten all the way through the video yet, but I'm an avid crocheter and I cannot listen to an audiobook while crocheting, but I can watch a show/youtube video/listen to music!
This has been so helpful. I feel like sometimes I just need a brain off activity but would just go on my phone. Now I have new non screen activities for when I'm low energy.😊
Brain Off game suggestions: Katamari Damacy!! and Okami! both oldies but goodies, for Okami you do have to think a little bit but there's fun just running in beautiful landscapes and exploring~
Brain On game suggestions: Any of the Persona series also Pokemon Snap
Love the activity videos!!😊😊😊
I took notes! I want to change so bad. My hobby is binge eating, binge watching UA-cam or TikTok and reading comments while halfway listening to the videos😭😭😭😭
I’m so excited to watch this I love your ideas ❤ I have fallen off my coziness into a bit of a slump and I’m trying to get back into it😊
I would love if you made a table top game recommendation videooooo

I’ll have to do some investigating because it was from a random online boutique a couple years ago and there’s no tag! I’ll report back!🫡
Okay it was from J.ING but they don’t sell it anymore😭
That’s okay!! I’m gonna find a doop and report back HAHAHA
My partner and I love playing Skip-Bo every night 😂 I just throw on shuffle on some of my fav playlists, make a nice beverage, and we just chill 🩷 another card game we play a lot is Magic the Gathering 🔮it's actually so nice and chill and fun and it's a great way for us to bond and just have a nice laugh together haha
Also, making diff playlists is another lovely hobby to engage in. I'd say this fits in the "Brain On" category but idk
..it could work in the "somewhere in between" too😅
Thank you for the cozy chat! For me reading is a brain off hobby unless I am reading a book where I actually want to learn or remember something. Fiber arts for me can be brain off when I'm working on a granny stitch project or a Raglan sweater. Because I don't play video games that often they tend to be more brain on for me. I've enjoyed them still, except candle tale hahaha. Really thought I would but I was googling so much to get through tasks that two hours in I wanted my money back 😅🤣.
Love all of these!!
One of my passive hobbies is finding new coffee shops, cafés and thrift stores to visit. I am also a knitter so knitting is a brain off hobby for me. (Yes, I do listen to audio books while knitting) 😂
Exactly the video I needed to identify the hobbies I enjoy, I even made a list of all the hobbies I like base on this info.
I also find deconstructing a lego set a very nice brain off activity. 😍
Oh girlfriend cross stitch is the ultimate brain off hobby. One of my favorites after doing complex projects at work all day
There's been a few times where coloring while listening to a fantasy audiobook chilled me out TOO much, people are dying and things are on fire and I'm just like: la la la la la~ 😂 but I do love it🤭
lmaooooo same😭
My favorite brain off hobby is diamond painting and my favorite brain on hobby is reading
Vision Cloud magazine is a really cool vision board magazine!
💜💜
I love this!
I can’t wait to try them all
I literally associate brain on and brain off with being able to listen to an audiobook. I feel seen 😂💜
I love your videos so much! So happy I found your channel ❤❤😊😊
Wingspan!!!! So good and also available on Steam and Switch. Cannot recommend more. I play against a computer to wind down and the relaxing music makes me sleepy. ☺️
Hi Cozy K i changed my sheets and I vacuumed my room and cleaned the bathroom and I was playing on my Nintendo Switch and I was having a blast I love logging on to animal crossing and seeing all of my villagers and my island 🏝️ is still not finished I am hopefully going to finish my island and fully decorate my island and upgrade my house 🏡 and get the upgraded storage because I want to store more furniture ❤😊 and decorate the outside of my house 🏡 on the exterior 😊 I was playing palia yesterday and the game rudely kicked me out it’s so frustrating I need to get a new Nintendo Switch at some point 😊
I think you’d enjoy mini diamond paintings :)
I was so frustrated with my first Wool & The Gang knitting project but once I got started I finished all the episodes of Succession. With that being said, the instructions said it would take about eight hours.. no ma'am, this was more like forty! 🤣
I recently was considering getting an iPad because I saw another influencer say she does her crosswords on it. It made me think there's probably other hobbies I could do on an iPad and would love for you to do an iPad/tablet-specific hobbies video!! or just a general what's on my iPad and what I use my iPad for!!
I wanted to recommend a brain off cozy game that I don't ever see mentioned in these line ups: Overcrowd (Commute em up). I also consider Civ6 a brain off cozy game but I have like a thousand hours in that game so that might just be because it's a core skill for me at this point, I also play it on low or medium difficulty, like all games because I don't like to stress out over them.
Brain on cozy game would be Hogwarts Legacy for me, I had to finish the call I was on because I couldn't do both (and I have ADHD). Also, The Planet Crafter, although once you get it going it gets pretty lulll in the middle so then it's a brain off, in fact I would just leave it going on the computer and do something else in the meantime so that the terraformation progresses but I don't have to do anything.
junk journaling sounds so funnn
Hi Kennedy! You should consider looking into community gardens 😊
The audiobook is a great indicator.
I definitely can knit a pair of basic socks with no brain focus but give me an actual pattern and forget it. I need to be like hidden away in a room lol.
My face when you said there's a Stardew Valley boardgame: 👁️👄👁️ "say what?!"
I started playing with oil pastels literally yesterday, and I was going ham. 😂It was nice to not be a perfectionist for two seconds. Pastels is brain off for me. lol.
