I am looking for hobbies I can do while being tired and not wanting to leave the couch đ The hobbies I have are mostly creative (making things with collage, clay, watercolour) but when I need to rest these activities are just a bit too much? E.g. I need to get the supplies out, have an idea, make something beautiful (otherwise I donât really enjoy it) and clean it all up again⌠I need some good alternatives that donât take much energy :)

Since you are from the netherlands and wrote that to me in another post but will not get A noticed about that i answer cuz itâs an error in this app about that I write to you here instead. I really like you country for a lot of things but there is like one thing that is very special to me and itâs an old song from you music festival for kids. Kinderen voor kinderen or something like that - I have figured out it means kids for kids. But there is one song that I found translated with English text that is sooo special cuz itâs like about me. The name is âtwee vadersâ as I understand means two fathers and itâs about a boy my age singing about that he have two dads and itâs so perfect and like make me so happy to listen to since i also got two fathers. From the beginning only one father but I have always know that if I get two parents it will not be a mom and a dad and now then I got my second father I started to again listen to this song. Itâs so special â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ https://youtu.be/OR6GAZ_Waa0?si=v3KJXufb9RlWDmmh
I like looming. Rubberband friendship bracelets, color in adult coloring book, journaling with stickers.
Good ones, thanks for sharing :) I got pencils today, so I can try out the coloring!
I like crocheting random things and not following a pattern; less decision-heavy that way. I also like playing âHappy Colorâ on my phone. Itâs a color-by-number thing thatâs super relaxing.
Great idea for crocheting! I can see how that would make it easier! Oh thanks, I will check that out :)
Hello, Chess ! On an app, you donât have to fetch anything or be with someone to playâŚ
Smart!
if you don't wanna MAKE anything then puzzles are really good for calming down :) (or if you're already tired lol) i love doing crosswords and word searches, nonograms, and other things like A Little to the Left which is a puzzle game
Oh yess, thatâs a good one too! I recently had a hyperfocus on somekind of a puzzle game. Itâs called âsugar (game)â and available for free in the app store. May be you like it too :)
Friendship braclets out of string could be good. You can pick how complex they are so if you wanna do something simple that dosent take much thinkin power you have that flexibility
Ohh good one! :D Thanks!
This might be weird, but I have a planner app I love called Zinnia. It has a lot of artistic parts - and it doesn't have to be a planner if you donât want. It might let you be creative without having anything to clean up.
Nice! I use the collage app Shuffles sometimes, so I might like this as well!!
Climbing or visit the forest with some friends or dogs(or other pets), swimming
I do love going to the forest when I have the energy :)
Or knitting sone cute stuff like Amiguri check out youtube videos my favorite are the axolotl animal toy an the mochi cat đđť
I canât knit, but this might be something to learn someday!
Have you tried adult colouring books? They are great for downtime and unwinding. Plus all you need is the book and pencil crayons. Helps with stress too.
I havenât, but may be I should! Thanks, great idea!
Plus all you need is the book and pencil crayons. Easy clean up.
