I just want to say as a Buddhist and the daughter of a meditation teacher, meditation is not having an empty mind its just observing thoughts instead of letting them take over you. And for adhd people the best way to do that IS by doing another activity like coloring, watching an ambiance video, concentrating on a candle, washing yourself in the shower etc!! So you're actually meditating already when you do mindfulness while coloring!

As a librarian so glad you mentioned the library. So many forget that they can get books, dvds, music and so much more there for free!

I’ve stopped watching TikTok because I was having trouble telling myself I don’t need the next product being promoted by prominent influencers, especially when I couldn’t afford several of the items they were advertising.😢 I’m so glad you’ve made this video, Kennedy! Always keeping it real with us!❤ Love you!❤❤❤

In the vein of "getting myself a little treat," I would also add, take the time to make a mundane thing special. I make myself tea of some kind pretty much every day. When I'm having a bad day, I take the time to carefully pick out the tea flavor, use a nice pot and teacup instead of the first coffee mug I see, and just really take the time to enjoy the process of making and drinking my tea. You can do that with coffee, a smoothie, heck, even just taking the time to slice up some citrus for your water. Making the mundane special is a really nice way to treat yourself.

My cleaning tip for anyone who hates cleaning. Categories (and you can stop after any of these categories) In this order! 1. Wet Trash (things that would mold if not cleaned up now), 2. Dry Trash (tissues, wrappers etc), 3. cloth/fabric (towels, cloths, socks, most of the time they go in a laundry basket), 4. Items that don't go in that room (put them in the room they do go in; they don't have to be put away if you don't feel like it but at least they make it to the room they do go in), 5. items that are in the room they go in that are not put away. 6. surfaces (sweeping, mopping, wiping down table/shelves. At this point whatever room you were in will be clean enough to function. Many times I start with Wet trash and that is all I have the energy for. and that is okay because that is the most important thing in the room to remove. Honestly just removing trash from a room makes it 10 times cleaner anyways. I also often find starting is the hardest part. and if you tell yourself I only need to pick up the trash then that simplifies it enough to get started and then maybe you find the energy once the task is begun. In short: Wet Trash, Dry Trash, Cloth, Items, Surfaces. Love yall!! stay cozy Muah! 💋

The way I do daily gratitude is at the end of the day I write down my "ta-dah" list. It's the opposite of a to-do list - it's all the thins you got done that day. I have chronic health issues and I can get really depressed at all the things I wasn't able to do. But when I write what I did get done, it helps me.

I'm glad you mentioned the library. A lot of folks forget that libraries have a ton of free resources for all kinds of things. Have a good week, cozy lady.

Also for the Sims, sometimes the feeling of looking for and downloading custom content feels like online shopping except everything's free! It kinda has that same feeling of buying new cute clothes/home goods and then going into the game and making a new sim or a new house with all your new cute cc is super fun and exciting!

My absolute FAV self care that is totally free: Listening to a podcast while going on a bike ride to each of the little libraries around town to swap out books I’ve read with new ones, then picking a bench to sit at while I eat a little snack I packed in a bento box for myself ❤ literally a perfect day to me

the free time basket is SUCH a cute idea!!

Yess! We definitely DO NOT need to spend a dime for self-care! Self-care can be as simple as reading your favorite book, watching your favorite show, taking a nice long bath, etc. Indulging (speaking for me) once in a while is fine. Consumerism is such a major issue today, and deinfluencing the term “self-care” is a MUST! Love the video!

my favorite thing to watch when i want to have a self care day/night is watching my favorite childhood tv shows/movies on youtube! - little bear (soo pure and cozy 🥹) - franklin - angelina ballerina - totally spies - maggie and the ferocious beast - barbie/bratz movies makes me feel safe and cozy :)

as a librarian, i was so happy to hear you talk about going to the library as a resource! so many people seem to forget we are there and just how many resources we have. thank you for thinking of us❤️

The basket idea is GENIUS! Especially for us ADHD folks who completely forget about items we own 😆

Ironic that you listed watching your favorite cozy content creator as a free hobby and that’s what I’m doing right now! Your videos are a warm hug. Love! Happy Easter!! 🤍

I scroll through Libby and tag books as “want to read” and it gives me the same emotional fulfillment as scrolling through social media and internet shopping. I treat it as “Recommended Picks for You” instead of TBR and I always have a book available that matches my mood when I’m looking for something different.

1) As a librarian, thanks for plugging libraries! Many also have cozy hobby things you can borrow - like cookware for baking, and more! 2) Gratitude for me, helps with appreciating what I have an being in-the-moment. I am always looking forward to the next thing and planning for the future, so stopping to look at what I have RIGHT NOW helps me be content and romanticize where I'm at, instead of missing it while I look at what's next.

girl you ain't lying about that pinterest board

I really liked how you said about cleaning - selfcare is not only the activity that we like, but sometimes it's something that we NEED to feel better. Thank you for the video!

I work at my local library and the amount of times you're hyping up the free resources at the library has my whole heart! Thank you so much! This video was such a refreshing breath of fresh air in the current world! And yes, everyone. Please go support your local library!! ♡

I haven’t written down 3 things I’m grateful for daily. I think that simply thinking of things you’re grateful for in moments when you feel negatively about what you have can be helpful. I get caught up in seeing content on KZfaq and start to wish I had the same homes and stuff as everyone else, so I take a step back and realize what I have and that I’m grateful to have it.

For me, creative hobbies are so important! I love how many you spotlight here. My favorite is actually embroidery, which is kind of like coloring but with a needle and thread. I suppose there's more of a start-up cost, since the average household doesn't have embroidery supplies lying around, but one cheap kit from Amazon lasted me a whole year. I love that it's a slow, quiet hobby (great for mindfulness or for cozying up with a comfort show), and you can create something to actually display in your home. I would also put movement high on my list. On those days when I'm having trouble regulating my emotions or just want to slump and scroll social media for hours, it really helps to do a short, low-intensity workout. Walking workouts on KZfaq are my favorite, but Pilates, dancing, yoga---all fun ways to move around, get an energy boost, and feel better both mentally and physically.

About talking to friends - something that I’ve had cause trouble is that some people prefer to volunteer information and they assume others do too, just like some people assume that others will ask if they care. For people who ask they ask to show that they care, and they often need to be asked about things to feel comfortable sharing. For people who volunteer info they often expect that others will share what they feel comfortable sharing and don’t ask (or like being asked) questions because they don’t want to overstep boundaries. Some people are self-centred, but some are just people that volunteer! So yeah, being aware of different communication styles and knowing how to tell the difference between a different communication style and a character flaw can really help you find more friends!!!

My high school students get so excited for our coloring days. Usually once a month we have a totally non academic day and they know as soon as they walk in the room. It helps everyone calm down a little and for my first period students, they love starting the day off that way

Also if you have pets, spending more time with them is amazing! And if you don't have pets, attract some animals to your garden. I noticed some frogs in my backyard and now I want to create a little frog garden with a bucket, some water plants, rocks and a log to give them a home! Hoping to make it a super low cost activity to get more froggy friends 🧡

I'm someone who found gratitude to be so so helpful!! I have been a lifelong pessimistic person as a way to "protect" myself from bad things happening (yay for growth to recognise this eventually haha). So it was massively helpful for me to force out 3 good things, even after a terrible day because daily life isn't black or white and it took a lot of training myself to break away from that type of thinking! So if you naturally find it easy to be a more positive person or find joy in the everyday things, it makes complete sense that gratitude wouldn't vibe with you ☺️

This is about mindfulness for any other PTSD girlies! Something for us to be aware of is that mindfulness can be very triggering for us even though it is a helpful practice if you can manage it. It’s just important for us to not push ourselves and to make sure we have good coping skills and a reliable way to escape and disconnect before we try it! That way if being connected to the present or to our bodies becomes too much we can take care of ourselves 💕 Also Kennedy you’re definitely one of my comfort creators! This video was so amazing, the part about cleaning actually made me a bit emotional (in a good way). I really needed to hear that today!!

My favorite part of the "free basket" idea is that it is also a way to practice gratefulness for what you already have

i appreciate so much that you encourage mindful consumption. i have recently been feeling overwhelmed by consumerism, and it’s so nice to have found a corner of the internet that actively pushes back against that

Another one I'll add for those of us that have pets, maybe if you have a dog take them to a park or wherever you normally walk them and instead of rushing from point a to b let them kind of lead (safely of course) and sniff all the smells they want and really just watch the little gears turn in their head lol as you have this little adventure together. Or if you have cats like me, next playtime try to stay fully present and watch their little butt wiggles before they pounce and how excited they get when they catch their toy. There are so many times when I play with them while watching videos on my phone because I'm ready for bed and just want to tire them out so they won't wake me up in the middle of the night, but it's so much more rewarding when you actually engage with them and I always feel so happy and fulfilled when they finally get tired and lay down for the night

I really appreciate your owning up to the fact that your job makes you a victim AND a proponent of this capitalistic loop. I had to step back from your videos as I was downsizing and limiting my expenses, because it was hard to see all the cute things you'd buy or be gifted from brands. But your message is so rare to find online, at least in its cheerful, personable way!!! I've really taken it on board, and it's so nice to have a refresher in this video, to remind myself of all the things I can find peace in, for free. Yesterday I went through all my yarn to knit things I'd planned to make but never got around to it. Yarn and books are the two things I need to go through before I buy anything new, and with that money I'm saving, I invest in medical appointments and therapy. All around wins!!!

Libraries also often have puzzles, video games, vinyl records, etc!! My husband loves puzzles but I could never get the price to make sense for it to be used once and never again, enter our public library - they have tons of puzzles and has gotten one each week since.

YOU are my comfort creator that I keep up with for my self care 😊. Truly your videos are great to get cozy to.

Gratitude pretty much has the same purpose of affirmations, but instead of boosting yourself you are boosting everything life has given you. It helps switch your mindset from recognizing everything that’s going wrong or everything terrible in life to all of the beauty and happiness that life has. It also helps you slow down! Kind of like the phrase stop and smell the roses. I personally have really recognized the difference between finding three things that I’m grateful for every day and skipping it because I “had no time” and I was skeptical about the practice at first. What you’re grateful for can literally be anything that makes you appreciate the life you’ve been given. Could be people, pets, experiences, or even wearing your favorite sweater.

i do "things i'm excited about" verses grateful. it can be small things, like excited for a new album coming out, or what i'm going to cook for dinner. kind of the same thing but works a little better for me to let some of the negative thoughts go.

Guys, I'm an introvert with social anxiety, and trying to just be out there in the world is something that's helping me a lot with my social anxiety. Sometimes I just go out with one friend and try to talk to their friends just to be around people, and sometimes all I can do is exist around people, but this is helping me to feel more whole and learn a lot about myself, so I just wanted to say that us introverts don't have to be lonely ❤ Sorry if it's a little confusing, English is my second language and I'm still learning 😅

Love love love this! It felt like we were out for coffee chatting. I read a quote somewhere that self-care isn't always a car wash, it's an oil change. I think about that one when I need to clean my space or do something that I know will make me feel better down the road! Love yah!

Growing up, anytime I was bored my mom would think of so many different ideas for things I could do. At the time I of course was a kid and was stubborn so I never liked any of her ideas. But looking back on that now, it makes me feel so cared for that she did that. You give me that same feeling.

tysm for this video! ive always hated how self care (online) has turned into something to further consumerism. i also wanted to say that i am someone who benefits from practicing gratitude! you seem to naturally recognize things you are grateful for, and that is wonderful! i think it is especially helpful for people who struggle with negative thinking (only focusing on negatives, discounting positives, etc.) which is very common for those who struggle with mental health and mental illness. it is so easy to focus on only the negatives, so intentionally taking the time to reflect and acknowledge the positives and the things that you are grateful for can be a very healthy practice for many people!

I watched this video as a person who really doesn't spend a lot of money but who DOES need to learn how to do self care. Today I gave myself a little pedicure and did some yoga. I'm 39 and I waking up and realizing how poorly I've cared for myself. I don't want to be 60 and stuck in a chair all day. I want to be 60 and moving around my home with ease chasing cats, planting gardens. Step 1 is literally learning how to care for myself while maintaining my frugal ways. Thanks for your inspiring video.

I LOVE going shopping around my house! There is always colored pencils or stickers or candles that I'm "Saving for a special moment" and I go "What the hell! Today is a special moment" and decide to use them and end up having a great time without spending any money!

I work at a preschool and a phrase that goes around when referring to self care and alone time and such is "you can't pour from an empty cup" soooo true!! and this made me think of that

Gratitudes work for me because I have chronic health problems and it can be really hard to get out of the everything sucks mindset. Positive self talk doesn’t help for this in particular because talking nice to myself won’t stop my frustrations of cancelled plans and goals so gratitudes help reposition my outlook. So yeah I’m in a world of pain but I’m very grateful I have a sofa to lie on and a cat to cuddle. It shows me things aren’t as bad as I think they are.

Libraries are so underrated nowadays ! I printed out vision board images (didn’t want to use all of my ink lol) and rented a very charming book from there. I was able to get plenty of work done and also found inspiration from doing so. I definitely feel that the younger generations who also know what self care is need this video. I agree capitalism completely changed how people view self care now and it’s not always about physical appearance but rather how you feel on the inside too.

I love that note on writing, or even drawing like I don’t have to be an author to be able to write a fun idea or a recipe down, or journal even just for the day- it’s always there for you to look back on and smile at that one day :) 💜

It was funny to hear you talking about putting our feet in the grass, the last time I did it (a month ago) a little snake got inside my shoes and scared the hell out of me lol. It was a very cute baby snake, but still made me a bit paranoid about the grass.

Kennedy I've been living for your videos recently!! The long form cosy content is getting me THRU the last of this winter darkness haha

Another thing about Libby: you can filter by “available now” and it’s a great way to browse and find your next read! You can filter by genre, type (ebook, audiobook, etc.), and if it’s kindle compatible. I use it all the time to find my next kindle read while I’m waiting for other books to be available :)

The way you use affirmations is like the way I use my gratitude journal. 😂 I still struggle with negative self talk so when I’m feeling low, I can flip through my gratitude journal to remind myself of all the good things I have going for me and the small moments that make me happy that I may have forgotten about. I find it useful to keep the daily journal and gratitude journal in two separate notebooks. It helps keep the thoughts filtered and organized and can really pack a boost in mood if you’re only looking through the grateful things.

Brilliant ideas! As someone also with a "spicy brain," just wanted to share that practicing mindfulness while moving is completely valid. The Zen monk Thich Nhat Hahn described how to practice mindfulness while washing the dishes, brushing ones teeth, cleaning a room, making a meal, going for a walk. We don't have to sit still to do this (what a relief!). Thank you so much for sharing your insights - so inspiring and comforting 🌸🌸🌸

This video is already so amazing, and I'm not even through the intro! To reassure you: every single product you've recommended that I bought have had so much value for me and my body/work/rest ethic. But I love this move for you, and it's incredibly inspiring 💜💜

Omg the basket is SUCH a cute idea!! Especially for us neurodivergent folks who often forget that they already got these items or projects or whatever at home

You are so right about choosing to talk to the right people. I told two friends about my childhood pet that was dying and one looked baffled that THIS was the reason I’d been sad all day, the other immediately hugged me. Not all friendships are created equal and we all deserve the friend that gets us unconditionally.

Shopping your house with a free time basket is such a great idea, I love it!❤

So the way I see gratitude practice is that it's not about compiling these lists of all the stuff you're grateful for, but rather about really tapping into the feeling of what that gratitude actually means, what it feels like. Same as with the positive affirmations you want to slowly reshape your thought processes. So next time try picking just one bullet of your gratitude list and take a bit of time, sit for a bit... And then, most importantly, sit *with* it for a bit. (What does it *fundamentally* mean to be loved, to be understood, to be seen, to be supported, to have an education, to have grit, to have the financial means to support yourself, to feel spiritually connected, to feel part of a community, to be healthy, to have insurance, to have a car, to have a bike, to have a wheelchair, to have a space to call your own, etc. What does it mean? And how does it make you feel?) We naturally remember all the bad stuff that happens to us and tend to forget the good, the calm, the safe experiences. We also tend to focus on everything we are missing in the moment instead of appreciationg what we have and how far we have come. That's just the way the human brain is programmed to work. Very useful for survival and such... Not so much for calming the f- down, being present in the moment and enjoying your life. So the way I see it, practicing gratitude is not about hyping yourself up, or collecting karma points, or even about ignoring all the problems in your life. It simply is about consciously tapping back into a mindset of "Actually, good things exist and they happen to me too (sometimes)". If you start believing *fundamentally* that you have good things in your life, that you have things going for you, people rooting for you, then you bring yourself out of this state of applying bandages (buying scented candles at target, or whatever) to flesh wounds (feelings of loneliness, of sadness, of anxiety, of scarcity, of insecurity, of whatever you're dealing with). So I think gratitude practice serves a similar purpose compared to positive self talk but I don't think it is quite the same. Rather that it goes hand in hand.☺ TLDR: So yeah, gratitude in my mind = Another cool way to slowly transform your thought patterns. And thank you for this video, I think steering the discussion arpund self-care away from consumerism is hugely important!

I LOVE that free time basket idea!

Wow I am SO glad the algorithm blessed me with this video. I’m so happy I found your channel 🥰

I ❤ this! I literally just made a list of 25 low to no cost self care activities on my channel. I am glad more folks are talking about it. I love some of these ideas here. They were things I hadn't thought of. I love playing in my clothes and "playing dress up" like you would as a child. It's a great way to also come up with new fits. Changing the way I looked at self care really made it acts of self love.♥

A lot, maybe all, streaming services have some sort of favorites list. That's where I keep my comfort shows/movies

I found this randomly while not being able to sleep, and I was just letting my brain scatter and then you said your comfort shows are Girlmore girls (my sisters current fav) and new girl! (My bf put me on to it) what a sign I love it, thanks for the list!

So, I get the gratitude journal, but I think, like most self care tips, it's good for some people, but not others. Like, it's really nice for when you're just like constantly pissed at the world. Like, you've been in a crap place for a while. Remind yourself that there are such wonderful beautiful things about the world and your life. It's good for retraining your brain to look at the good things rather than focusing on the darkness.

You bring me so much peace girl. Thank you for this! 🤍☺️

It’s good to hear someone talk about parasocial relationships with KZfaqrs so positively, I’ve only heard it spoken of negatively lately. Despite how big he is, I still feel so comforted by Pewdiepie & proud of him, he’s gotta be one of the most humble & kind ppl to ever exist & this is cheesy lol but I feel a lot of acceptance & love when I’m watching his videos & it makes me feel at “home” in a way to catch up on someone I’ve stayed connected with for years & he’s still just the same after all this time

The way you handle gratitude seems like you're already smashing it. I had to start by writing things down every evening (for years) and managed to move on to noticing on the fly, and it feels great 😁 keep going, lovely list ❤❤❤

i didn't even notice this video was an hour long because of how much i enjoyed watching it lol ty

I really appreciate this video! I have been kind of burnt out on cozy content lately because it started to feel like so many of the videos and reels were just a list of things I had to buy. Social media in general too, feeds feel like they are more ads than content. It's exhausting to be thinking about spending money all of the time. Like counter-productive to actually relaxing! haha.

This video was so cool! I entered it without much expectations but was pleasantly surprised by all the good ideas and positive thoughts you shared. Know that you are becoming a comfort creator for me

thank you so much for this video cozy friend! selfcare portrayed on social media apps like tiktok can easily become so overwhelming. It is so refreshing to hear a different perspective/approach to selfcare. much love! 🫶🏼✨

I love how real you are and how you promote free stuff too. I appreciate you and your channel. You help me get through such tough times with your videos. I just put you in the background as i do chores, painting, and even when I'm having a difficult mental or physical health time. Your videos are on my list of free self care vibes hehe

Girl, you are definitely one of my comfort creators. I save your videos to watch when I want self care time!

Self care basket is GENIUS

This is such a great video! Loved every second and just wanted to say that YOU are my comfort creator. You have such a fun and peaceful energy that really shines through and feels 100% sincere. I love putting on your videos when I'm painting my nails or doing chores or getting ready in the morning.

Thank you for being my cozy KZfaqr bestie! You have given me so much inspiration to be myself and I really love all the content you put out. Love you and thank you for always keeping it real with us 💖

i love this video so much. ive come back to it a few times already and this is going to be chronically rewatched for me. one of my favorite free ones is, yeah! art! im trying to practice just grabbing whatever notebook i had lying around already and using the plenty of art supplies i already have! like just grabbing three colors of markers and seeing what i can make until they run dry. free self care is so important! i would love love love to see a part two!

Shopping around the home for self-care is such a good idea! I have had issues with buying things because “I deserve a treat” since the dopamine crash I experience when I can’t keep buying things is such a bummer for me. I think this could really help with that and keep my ADHD dopamine mining to a minimum more often🤘🏻

Cozy K, this is exactly what I was TRYING to articulate in a TikTok or KZfaq comment some time ago - I love your content and LOVE your intention to decouple a bit from consumerism!!!!

I’m watching this later than when it was uploaded but it’s so so good to see someone sharing free ways to take care of ourselves! Thank you. It helps a lot to hear these reminders. ❤❤❤ I have been sketching while I listen to relax. Love your cozy vibes and appreciate your perspective and good vibes!

That quote at the end hit home 🥺 Thanks for curating so many creative ideas for us, Ken! Speaking of comfort KZfaqrs, you’re definitely mine! 💛

thank you so much for this, I don't have the words to express my gratitude. been trying hard to improve my life and my well-being these last months and listening to you makes it feel like something easy, full of love, and fun :)

what a lovely video!! about gratitude - for people who are depressed or have low mood it can be really difficult to see any positives, because there is such a huge skew towards the negative. I think the intended purpose is that by practicing a gratitude exercise you're essentially re-training your brain to be able to notice the positives, like strengthening a muscle - it sounds like that's a skill you're already doing great at, so it's probably not the tool for you. Hope that makes sense and is helpful/interesting!

Kennedy this was amazing thank you ❤❤ I recently realised I was buying things on impulse ! I would buy new notebooks despite having loads and I would get this instant hood feeling after buying but then go Home and not even use it ! Thanks to you I’m going to sort through my stuff and try and make a cosy basket ! You inspired me to buy a switch last year and I’m so happy with it! I always thought gaming had to be rgb lights and intense games , literaly never knew cosy games existed ! I’ve bought mechanical keyboards and made my desk nice! I used to dread working and now I love my space so thank you so much for bringing out my inner child ! I never asked for toys when I was younger everything was second hand or a present so I love being able to fill my room with things I enjoy now. But defo thanks for reminding us to use what we have ❤ ❤

Thanks for the video, Ken ❤ You reminded me of very important and simple stuff that make a huge difference ❤ I just want to say that you're one of my comfort content creators, you always make me feel better with your content ❤

Gratitude was the thing for me that affirmations were to you!! I think it seems like you might already be practicing quite a lot of gratitude because my gratitude is just those joy moments of “omg this thing is so great and cool and I feel such a boost from that!” I never used to notice how good the good things in my life felt and I think the practice of gratitude helped me lean into the goodness and softness of life when it was hard to do so! Gratitude for me isn’t usually “think about 3 things I was grateful for today” I usually journal about things that felt excited or I leaned into or brought me joy or felt like something I did for myself or someone else did that I really needed! I feel like all the thing you describe in your videos are things that I acknowledge that I’m grateful for a lot and the things you express feel like what I feel when I’m really grateful for something. I really needed practice with it to feel it more strongly in my life over time. To me it feels like mindfulness about the love, peace, and joy in my life. 🥰

Gratitude practice for me works when I feel like everything is shit, which happens when life is really hard. It forces you to remind yourself that there's something, however small, in your life which is good. Even if it's as tiny as something tasted good, or there was a cute dog on a walk, or whatever. When you're in deep depression, when the kids are being awful and work is too much and you're sick and your arm has been hurting for months (haha not talking about myself at all 😅) daily gratitude makes you think for one second that there's something good. Life isn't complete garbage. It's worth getting up tomorrow and continuing with things, because maybe there'll be a pretty flower. It sounds kind of dumb when I write it out but having been legit depressed before, it can help.

My favorite self care activities and mental health walks, art, mindfulness, breathwork, and singing.

I feel like this entire video was a lesson in gratitude. Being aware of what you already have that can make you feel soothed, calm and rested is really awesome. Writing down things you’re grateful for can be helpful, but like you, I just don’t do it. LOL. --I appreciate the idea and it may be necessary for some, but you can live in appreciation all day. Through the mindfulness and positive self-talk you talked about, I express my gratitude and it is super helpful. (It really helps with anxiety and depression….it takes practice but it works 😊) Thank you for another uplifting and super entertaining video!🧡 I have about 4 KZfaq creators that are life-savers and you’re one of them, Kennedy! You have been cheering me up, making me laugh and giving me GREAT ideas for self-care from the 1st video my sister shared with me. See, again I am so grateful. 😂❤

you are already a super grateful person, K! like legit, when i watch your vids, i love life more. i remember to squeal over the little things. i did the gratitude exercises and generally im a super appreciative person. but your energy took it next level for me where im now able to enjoy life for the little things and not just my accomplishments

Happy Easter! I hope you are having a lovely day today! 🩷

My absolute fav is listening to an audiobook (or music/podcast whatever you prefer) while out on a walk. Even if it's just 20 mins during a lunchbreak, you're still taking time for yourself, getting fresh air, moving your body and engaging with some content you enjoy. Quadruple self-care!

The gratitude thing is veryyyy important, I promise after doing it for a few weeks I felt way more grateful for the world, things around me, I was kinder to others, it just personally makes you stop and really think. I even write why I’m grateful for the thing I’m writing down, or the person. It’s been a wonderful habit to add to my lifestyle ❤

This was so so needed for me today. The gentle reminder for the introvert people pleaser girlies to talk with a trusted person about their feelings was such a good moment of reflection for me. I was a bit braver and shared with a trusted coworker and my husband something that was going on for me and I feel a lot better for it. Thanks Ken - you put so much work into these videos and they truly do make a difference

This was SO GOOD. I didn’t want it to end

You are my favorite cozy KZfaqr to watch while I do my morning chores with some meditative music or nature sounds in the background.

Kennedy, this video is so life-giving!!!

Love your fun energy! Thank you so much for sharing all these ideas!!

You gave some really good suggestions! Some of which I had completely forgotten I can do for myself such as coloring or sketching that can help quiet my mind. I'd like to share that even though there are times i feel guilty when I am not working on bettering myself, I have been soaking my feet in hot water with some epson salt as I do notes for work. I'll have a cup of water, coffee or juice next to me as I do notes and the amount of dopamine i get after i finish everything is amazing! I get to do some self-care that takes very little effort to do and paired with a task I've had on my to-do list helps makes things feel less stressful than it would've been if i had to do the task on it's own.

Just paused to say I’m so happy I found you! I’m loving this video already and haven’t even thought of most of these things, just about all ! These are great ideas and your voice is easy to listen to 💕 thank you for making this video Mwa!

I love the basket idea!!! I did it as soon as you said and had so much fun, it really did give me the thrill of going to a shop 😊 I’ve tried so hard to curb my shopping addiction so I’m thrilled that this feels so good! Also I recently got into colouring- I love it ♥️ thank you

What a delightful person you are. I cannot believe that this video was actually useful!! You may be an angel

Loving this. ❤ You mentioned cozy content creators. I love the whole sleep story thing for self care and falling asleep in such a cozy way. Stephen Dalton is by far my favourite storyteller in that space.
