how to fall in love with your hobbies again
[when you have no motivation anymore]
[cozy hobby girl edition]
parallel hobby!!
this one is my favorite - crochet while listening to an audio book or catching up on tv or youtube, play a game you've been wanting to play while listening to a podcast
choose hobbies that match your current mood or energy
low energy? cozy game or color. Medium energy? baking, crochet, photography. High Energy? Hiking, DIY projects, gardening, researching!
rotate your hobbies
you don't need to finish every project before diving into a different hobby (this is FUN not pressure)
make your hobby of choice super super easy!!
read one chapter of a book, color for 10 minutes, turn on your old DS!! do a hobby that doesn't bring any pressure that you may "mess up"
motivation usually comes after you start something - not before!!
write down and SCHEDULE 10-30 mins of a specific certain hobby (new or old) no phone no distractions - try and get back motivation 10 minutes at a time <3
romanticize your hobby session!!
make a tea, take an everything shower & self care, get cozy, put your phone away, play some lofi or calming music!! set the VIBEEE
stop trying to be PERFECT at it
not every hobby has to become a side hustle or content (I personally struggle with this!!!) and you don't have to be a professional and you're allowed to be "bad" (whatever that means) !
make it easier than doomscrolling
keep your switch on your nightstand or coffee table, leave your kindle on your pillow, leave your current crochet project on the couch, leave your journal open on your desk!
i'm so glad you're here! let's be friends?
