Gardening
Sky watching
Laying on the grass and soaking up the sun
Picnics
Early morning walks
@TrinityBringer oooh that sounds so relaxing! Definitely good to reconnect with nature 🫶 hopefully the weather where I am gets a bit warmer soon so I can go outside more! Thank you 😊
@xsoupyplants12 happy to help, and I hope the weather improves for you :)
This list sounds so grounding! I love to meditate in the grass on a sunny day. A good way to tan while also replenishing mental stability! Early morning walks are calming too, before it gets too hot!!! 💗
@xsoupyplants12 I like reading and writing, taking a walk and observing
@butterflyjie86
That's exactly me! ❤️🫂
@butterflyjie86 @trueconfidant123 Yess sounds so relaxing!! Thank you ☺️🌲☀️
@butterflyjie86
I love all three of these!! I was a lot more into writing in my high school days, but here and there I try to journal or write a poem. Walking is a form of meditation for me 😌💗
@xsoupyplants12
I read novels.
I write short stories.
I watch movies/series online.
I make a variety of coffees.
I workout.
@trueconfidant123 That sounds really fun!! I also love reading and writing! What’s your favorite book or genre of books? :)
@xsoupyplants12
My favourite book is Open When by Dr Julie Smith that's about psychology. My favourite genre however, is romance.
How about you? 😃
@trueconfidant123 That sounds like a really cool book! I’ll check it out sometime :) I really like fiction! I have so many favorites haha 😅 especially Animal Farm, Flowers for Algernon, and Fahrenheit 451!
@xsoupyplants12
I'm a fan of fiction myself. I can't wait to get my hands on Animal Farm someday. I've a lot to tackle on my TBR at the moment. 😛💗
@trueconfidant123 Yess that’s really cool! Animal Farm is amazing!!!! And same here I have a million books on my list…working through them slowly I guess 🥲
@xsoupyplants12
Haha, we got this! ✊🏻
@trueconfidant123 😝😤💗
@xsouoyplants12
I usually love buying new outdoor plants for my balcony
Reading outside on a bench
Going for long walks
Getting artsy (with family, friends, or alone)
@professionalTree7574 Yess!! I’ve been wanting to get more into gardening or taking care of plants lately, just haven’t really been able to find any that are easy to keep as a beginner. Any recommendations? 🫶
@xsoupyplants12.. motorcycling 😁
@Sumdumname that’s awesome!! Have fun and stay safe!!
@xsoupyplants12
I like to go on walks and look at all the new spring growth! It reminds me that I am growing as well. Shedding off the winter blues and welcoming the spring bliss is such a wonderful thing 🌷😍💖
I also like to open the windows to let fresh air in whenever I can, try new spring-themed foods (if that makes sense lol), and color spring-designed coloring pages from the coloring book collection!
@colorfulHorizon2069 I love that mindset!! Spring is definitely a time of growth and we can see it reflected all around us in nature :) and making spring themed food/coloring is so fun too! Thanks for sharing!!
@xsoupyplants12
Thank you, I appreciate that! :) and you are so right, the growth is beautiful. Nature is cool like that, no wonder we love spring so much 🌿 It is healing and a good way to stay grounded, for sure. 💚
@colorfulHorizon2069 Absolutely!! 💐☀️💓
Playing guitar! Fishing! Walking dog! Deep breathing! Walking! Riding bike! And just enjoying God's creation trying to live in the moment. ❤️❤️✝️✝️🌎🌎
@Jeffery12 Absolutely!! Praise God for this time of growth and for all his creation!! Thank you for sharing :)
I’ve been into flower preservation recently, which I think would be a lovely springtime hobby! 💐
@ACozyBunny I love that! I think it’s a really cool hobby and it’s a great way to prolong their lifespan and still be able to display them even after they’ve dried!! 🌹🌼💕
@xsoupyplants12
Thank you! It really is, and it adds a lovely touch of colour to the home
@ACozyBunny Definitely! What do you use the preserved flowers for? (I’ve seen people making lanterns, artwork, etc.)…any suggestions?
@xsoupyplants12
if it’s smaller flowers, I use them to make bookmarks or keychains. Larger flowers from bouquets are usually dried and kept in vases or transparent display boxes 😊
@ACozyBunny oooo that sounds lovely! I’ll have to try it!! 💗
