I will never be thankful enough for DIY and cozy hobbies.
Today was tough, I had a lot of thoughts going on in my head. My mind kept wandering all the time while trying to study, or doing daily tasks at home. That’s why, after my study session, i decided to make something useful with my hands and release some stress.
So I created a plant pot with clay. I wanted to create it for weeks but couldn’t find the right time. Then, this late afternoon, I decided to seize the opportunity.
As I said in the first line, I will never be thankful enough for this kind of hobbies. It doesn’t matter if your DIY project isn’t perfect (mine it isn’t for sure) nor it doesn’t matter if you just started doing DIY hobbies. What matters the most is that you find something – and I mean anything – that keeps you grounded when you’re trying to figure out life, like a sort of safe place when you’re trying to discover yourself.
As creating this plant pot was for me, hours ago.
Be creative, my friends. Hobbies are really life saver.
STORY 15 which is another CPE review "A Little Book of Hygge" by Meik Wiking
The prompt: A literary magazine has invited readers to submit reviews of non-fiction books. You decide to submit a review of a book that has influenced you greatly. Your review should briefly describe the book, explain what aspects of your life have changed after reading it, and assess the importance of non-fiction literature.
Imagine yourself waking up in the crisp blue morning, snuggled in a soft, warm blanket, still hazy and disoriented, but well-rested and content. Imagine yourself taking that feeling of coziness and comfort, bottle it up, and carry it with you throughout the day: no stress, no chagrin, just pure joy and happiness.
“The little book of Hygge” by Mike Wikking is your guide to the Danish concept by the same name of life devoid of anxiety and tension. Step by step, from picking the right light for your bedroom to planning weekend dinners, you’ll learn to recreate an atmosphere of the place where you feel shielded from the outside world and can let your guard down. The principles of this 10-part manifesto, full of gorgeous photos and illustrations, can be applied in the familiar space of your house, in the office environment, while traveling or walking by anyone from executives and mere employees to homemakers and students.
To me, Hygge is the epitome of tranquility. Curled up on my couch, with the ripple pattern baby afghan I had knitted for my daughter, I read through the book in a couple of nights. Prompted by the Wikking’s work, I put on the rubber gloves to clean the apartment of junk piling in my bookcase, my wardrobe, my cupboards. Little magic rituals like cocoa by candlelight and a game of Monopoly with kids on a Saturday night naturally implemented themselves into my routine. Hygge was that magic ingredient in my recipe for a stress-free life.
Lost in a hectic race to achieve some bigger goals, people forget to appreciate little mundane pleasures, such as a smell of a fresh-baked cake, or a bedtime story to children. Meanwhile, what could be a more effortless way to be reminded of the value of life? It’s the very time to turn to books of facts. They might not provide a fantasy world to escape like fiction, but become our tools for a quick-time solution, an answer to a burning question, or just a piece of advice. Perhaps, next time you ponder what kind of read to indulge in, attempt reality over imagination.

I find so much peace in the mornings where the house is quiet and still, the chores can wait another moment, the birds sing outside, and a cozy drink is in hand.
