The Winter Reset Guide (That'll Actually Help You Get Your Life Together)

[@shainabanerjee]

You're like if Lorelai Gilmore was an anxious introvert, and I mean that as a compliment. Absolutely love your vibe.

[@morganevelyncook]

I'm obsessed with this comparison - thank you hahah

[@jacquig1939]

You're correct. Idk what exactly it is but it's there.

[@chsz8665]

I get Lorelei mixed with a dash of Jess from New Girl.

[@candacemiller8883]

LMAO yesssss!!!

[@1999JLJ]

so-called free thinkers when morgan says to high five 🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️

[@morganevelyncook]

These high fives have given me a level of power I never thought I would possess

[@lesleyrussell825]

Seriously? I like to think most people choose to do it or not!

[@lifind]

Fullscreened for the high-five

[@morganevelyncook]

This is the correct way to do it

[@jeriheggie]

Both times 🤗😆

[@TheMsharrypotter12]

“He’s got an eye for something, but it is not accuracy” that killed me

[@darcie8560]

1. Am I watching this heading into hot as hell Australian summer…yes 2. The high fives give me such a good dopamine boost 3. You are glowing in that green top, it makes your hair and skin pop

[@morganevelyncook]

1. I'm truly so happy to hear this video can transcend hemispheres and seasons hahah. 2. So glad you enjoyed the high five 3. Thank you so much! Gonna consider adding more emerald green to my closet lol

[@thaisfernanda911]

This is me at thirty degrees Celsius in Brazil, waiting for the high five ✋✋

[@baileystark5264]

NO LITERALLY I’ve been putting a 10 hour long fireplace video on my tv for YEARS and it never fails to get me in a good mood

[@prettygoyle]

I do love the high-five. It feels like a, "whether we did it perfect or not, we still did it!"

[@lizanna6390]

Damn we did it or damn we tried!

[@claraschmitt8664]

Got two high fives today, it’s going to be a good day

[@LauraOtermat]

✋

[@DanitaReynolds]

OMG! I laughed so hard at the old man's lap comment. Hilarious! And double hilarious for me because not only did I grow up having to sit on an old man's lap (Santa) and then as a young woman avoiding old man's lap I'm finally at the age (63) where I'm now married to an old man. So it's come full circle for me. 🤣

[@sadforever0129]

The coat thing is so real. I finally found a coat the fits well and makes me feel like a badass. I pair it with black leather boots (warm and cool 😂) and I’m ready to crush all the errands.

[@DesireeGyanNavgeet]

This video is more helpful than 50 unrelatable motivational speeches. Loved your advice on bare minimum days. Thank you Morgan 💖💖💖

[@morganevelyncook]

Ahhh I appreciate this so much 🥰. So glad you were able to resonate with the bare minimum days - thank you for watching!

[@friendshapedbees]

Me, sitting here knitting with about a decade of on again/off again knitting experience: It still makes me cry sometimes. Dropped stitches/miscounts/pattern misreads are still a thing that can happen even to the best of us. Also, the soup cube is a *fantastic* idea, I've gotta figure that out for myself.

[@becc7157]

every once in a while youtube actually nails the recommended videos and this was it. love your humor, adore the vibes. subscribed.

[@Tweetie4018]

The way you do your jigsaw puzzles, I could never!! Throw everything on the table and go from there is too chaotic for me, I need to sort everything and find all the edges and then go by color or topic 😂

[@susanlansdell863]

I’m 58 and Santa still visits. It’s very comforting. Actually my daughter rumbled Santa when at her playgroup she noticed that the bearded man sitting on the stage, giving out gifts and taking requests, was wearing the same shoes as the vicar.xx

[@cja2132]

Ok but the discovery of whether all the pieces are there in a thrifted puzzle adds a thrill to the journey. And if a piece is missing, I’m typically not too bothered. I still did the thing and that feels good.

[@rancidjams4652]

me crocheting as i watch this video: I'm doing my part!

[@jassymineful]

The way my face went 😳 when you recommended only having a bare minimum day once or twice a month. I probably have it practically everyday… Im definitely aware I need help 😅

[@type1fun476]

Knitting, spinning, puzzling and reading by the fire are such phenomenal winter time activities 😍. Living in a tiny home means I purchase a puzzle then I put up for my coworkers to claim or donate to a local nursing home since I have a need to buy a new puzzle, don’t judge, I can’t explain it just is a must 🤷‍♀️

[@quinndemette]

This is so real and good advice. I love how authentic and peaceful you make your video's. Its motivational but not in a way where I feel behind on everyone else. We are all humans and getting through the winter is not easy! Thank you for your beautiful inspirational video! Love from Belgium!💝💝

[@gabyfernandes6334]

I only watch the ambience videos that say "no mid-roll ads" now, there are a ton of them and they're great!!

[@morganevelyncook]

That's such a good tip! I need to try more of those. Thank you for watching! 🥰

[@sariahlee]

The high five on one of your previous videos was one of the things that captured my attention. The second high five in that video kept my attention and I subscribed. Your great content and personality keeps me here❤

[@GinaEnns]

😊love your hippie vibe advice, your the kind of personality that could so totally be best friend worthy, your so mentally mature

[@morganevelyncook]

I appreciate this so much hahah. Thank you for watching!

[@nancyneyedly4587]

I love doing puzzles during winter/christmastime. Puzzles are rewarding for me because they make me feel like I can create some order somehow when there it generally not much order in my day to day life. - The Christmas vibe YT channels are great!🎄

[@rachelrandolph2579]

The lil high five did in fact make me smile 😊

[@kenziefrench6453]

I literally just found my favorite KZbinr!! Why is it so easy to listen to you? And I found myself giggling through your humor. It just felt like I was listening to a friend 😊

[@morganevelyncook]

Aww, this just made my day! Thank you so much 💛. So happy you’re here, and can’t wait to share some more giggles together 😊

[@milliecaruso2041]

I have to say, I’ve looked at MANY reset videos but yours is by far the best!!! I swear your humor and opinions are so on point that I laughed at almost all of your “opinions”!!! Especially the dog and going out part!!😂😂😂

[@morganevelyncook]

Ahh I'm so flattered hahah. Glad to hear the dog part resonated and that it's not just my dog who is trying to slowly freeze me to death lol

[@luvleeaddi]

Love everything about this. Most videos like this I feel are a bit over ambitious for my personal abilities. But you are so realistic. Mentioning sustainable options,, how crocheting absolutely can cause crying. Going out in the cold is a terrible sensory experience, and high-fives rock! Subbed so excited to find this channel. Also your humor is top tier

[@sofyarafayelova9448]

another game to play: Stardew Valley! you have your own farm to decorate and grow things on, can build relationships, have pets, and the quests are fun!

[@tempestholmes]

Just got to this one. So tired today and needing your videos as a pick-me-up. ^_^ Thank you!

[@lovetherain227]

The tea making intro and the title was soooo satisfying

[@morganevelyncook]

Omg thank you!! I’ll admit I watched it several times because I too found it incredibly satisfying lol

[@veronicasmith7510]

It’s giving “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” in the best way

[@Becca_Beam]

I'm so into the high fives. Also, I appreciate the acknowledgement that "bare minimum" days are a real need, especially in wintertime! I feel the desire to hibernate so badly.

[@jito7377]

I always forget the highfive exists and am delighted again to do it every time. I love november.

[@lauras2129]

How did you get footage of me trying to get out of bed this morning?!? Seriously great and relatable as usual. Told one of my friends about you and said I want to be your friend, but then I said you have social anxiety and there is the fact that this is a parasocial relationship and I live on the other side of the world, so realistically you probably wouldn’t want to be my friend and you know the limits of reality, but I always appreciate your videos and the advice in them. It’s kind of like having a pen pal - did I just make this weird? I just made this weird.

[@home.sick27]

I liked the hifive almost as much as the dog

[@TheKeystoneChannel]

I recently got addicted to the fire crackling and purring ambiance video's, but then I want both and music in the back, so i put two on. one with the scenery and jazzy music and then the purring and fire crackle in the back from another video. Perfect!! Also, try the book nook building! You'll get addicted and it is the perfect hobby. Oh, and don't ge me started on the cold, I have the same as you , and no dog, take a cat, it makes you more motivated to stay at home. I love new winter clothes as a motivation indeed, but then I get bored and prefer staying in

[@Ophelia441]

I literally just discovered your channel TODAY and I am BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE ™️.

[@Unhinged_Crafts]

Im weaving a tapestry this winter for my cosy hobby

[@Oceanwaves-d8l]

Something nice I'm doing is making handmade Christmas cards. I haven't done so since I was, maybe 5. But I've kind of gotten into art at the end of this year so I decided "screw it, why not". No matter the quality, it's worth more than anything I could just lazily go onto Amazon, type a word in then add to basket for.

[@noelybarrera2260]

Oreo balls! When I went to my EMT rounds the paramedics EMTs and firefighters made these ❤

[@rylynnlane]

I just ran across that viral video of yours that you referenced and it was extremely comforting and relatable. Since then I have watched a couple videos on your channel and I love your energy and ability to be authentic! Thank you ❤

[@treeeshh]

Officially obsessed with your videos. I love how truly realistic you are. ❤❤

[@morganevelyncook]

I’m honored 🥰. Thank you for watching!

[@brittanyboom9196]

I genuinely loved when you said switch out things for the holidays and you swapped the top right record but the Taylor records all stayed. 😂🫶🏼🥹 Also, this was my first intro to you and I immediately adore you and your entire vibe. 🤍 Thank you for creating and sharing such a practical but heartfelt video! It felt like a cozy, warm hug enveloped with the most loving laughter. 🥹 lol

[@morganevelyncook]

Thank you for this sweet comment!! I'm so glad ya enjoyed it! And yeah I've got almost enough Taylor albums for every season hahah.

[@hazel-eleanor]

Thank you for being so real!

[@donnamichelle6008]

So glad I found you this morning. Literally laughed out loud several times at your refreshing and very relatable humor. Wishing you and everyone here a beautiful winter season!

[@morganevelyncook]

Thank you so much!! So glad you’re here and that I could provide ya a few laughs ☺️. Wishing you a wonderful winter too 💙

[@unosoph]

obsessed with hearing the sims described as relaxing because I could not relax while playing that game to save my life, I'm doing a legacy playthrough and it takes up every corner of my brain

[@nao32ka]

Love this, especially seeing you doing the activities while you chat and Goose's cameos! The bare minimum list is so real. So glad I found your channel!

[@kimberlyrussell9066]

On some very special days, the KZbin "recommended" algorithm works perfectly. I laughed hard at avoiding sitting on old men's laps now because yep, accurate. I immediately subscribed and will binge a bunch of videos today to help block out the fact that I'm hosting Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow.

[@morganevelyncook]

I'm so glad the algorithm algorithmed for you! And I appreciate you using my content to distract from hosting stress hahah. Sending you good vibes for the Christmas eve dinner! 🎄✨

[@maralenaphillips7818]

Yes! November was ….well we all feel it! ❤️So thanks for wanting to help us while you help yourself through the month of December! However, let me say I feel like on this 19th of December! That it is too soon for Christmas. So for me, November just bled into the holiday season…what even!🤩

[@silvercookies]

On puzzles: My husband used to volunteer at a charity store, and when they received puzzles, he and other volunteers would need to solve them first before putting them up for sale to make sure they had all the pieces. On Cookies: That's what I bring! I make a bunch of different ones (shout out to Sally's Baking Addiction), and I give cookie boxes to my friends and family. 🤣 You did make me think I should find a fav dinner recipe for wintertime. I make two recipes every year for Fall but not for winter and I don't know why.

[@izzysieveking3977]

First video; I'm glad I chose this to watch with my morning tea. Your advice is given in a humorous, thoughtful way that felt like a friend confiding in another friend. Thank you- new subscriber here. 😊

[@morganevelyncook]

I'm biased, but I do think this is the perfect video to couple with morning tea ☕️. So glad you enjoyed, and thanks for subbing!! Happy to have a new friend here 💛

[@maryackerson8344]

High five back at ya , not to soon you should do them in all your videos ⭐️

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Love the idea of a cozy winter date! 🥰☕️ I’m going to try dressing like a perfectly roasted marshmallow. 😜

[@floptimus]

Yesss ROAST Jonathan 🤣🤣

[@morganevelyncook]

Jonathan needed to be humbled

[@Cosmic1946]

This was the best possible choice of something to watch/listen to while I did my daily puzzles and also the first inkling of holiday cheer I’ve felt all season, so thank you ✨Just found you via your video about “7 life changing habits that didn’t work for me” (which was excellent btw), instant subscribe. Def agree about crochet (can’t watch a movie without it, it’s like babysitting for the boredom impulse control problems that occur when I’m made to sit down and concentrate on one thing). Also, origami is another great cozy hobby. Every horizontal surface of your home will inevitably be occupied by paper cranes, but there are worse problems to have.

[@morganevelyncook]

Hahah, I loved this whole comment. I'm so glad the algorithm algorithmed for ya and brought this video to you when you needed it. And I totally appreciate you subbing 😊. Tbh I haven't thought about origami since I made those paper cootie catchers in elementary school - something to think about reviving lol.

[@serenyss375]

You bring me so much comfort, I love your videos

[@anissahyde9118]

I value your content immensely. I used your fall reset ideas (loved) and then used that to begin my winter reset so when you posted the official winter reset I was hoping I was on the right track! I actually invested in a good jacket this winter and it’s making my winter already so much better. My cozy hobby is sewing and stitch kits. Great low budget and low consumption craft. Thanks so much for your content.

[@SelkieSage]

I think this is the first video of yours I've ever seen, and I just wanted to say the vibes are immaculate. 100/10.

[@morganevelyncook]

I appreciate that so much - welcome to this lil corner of the internet 🤗

[@VictoriaLyman]

you've been popping up on my recommended for awhile now and I finally clicked on this one after I had realized I had seen you elsewhere online. thanks for making a realistic, funny, and cozy reset video!! I find people like you hard to find in the lifestyle/productivity space on youtube, a lot of people don't prioritize rest as much as you do in this video. Rest is important!! not ever second needs to be filled with productivity.

[@leahschroeder3533]

Holiday/seasonal ambiance KZbin videos are my absolute favorite ❤️

[@AmandaWilliams-rc4ss]

I needed the high five too!

[@CrazymakingPodcast]

I appreciated the second high five because I messed up the first one.

[@rachelmallory3734]

Morgan you’re such a delight. Love your content❤

[@margaridasantos6128]

I loved the high five!

[@medusa7111]

I just found your channel and I’m so glad!! ❤

[@Jguthrie1210]

I’ve been hooked on the KZbin ambience videos for a while now! I love it

[@sena2888]

i feel like i watched your fall guide just yesterday😭😭it was a good fall but time really goes fast . and now after this video im really excited for winter !!! love you

[@morganevelyncook]

Hahah, I feel like I just made the fall one yesterday too! It goes by so fast, but glad you're feeling ready for winter now ❄️ ✨

[@AriBrighton]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does the TV ambience😂 I came across them by accident when looking up study focus videos and now I have one playing on my TV at all times😂

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

Just like in real life, I missed hitting your hand. Fortunately, I could just rewind and try again without the embarrassment; unlike real life. 😊

[@morganevelyncook]

Hahah, I'm so glad you tried again!!

[@thebeatles92195]

Yes! I always high-five you when you do it!!

[@aprilconner777]

Your videos make me happier than any others! At first I started watching you because you reminded me of Phoebe from Friends (and I love that lol), but you’re just so real…if that makes sense lol

[@morganevelyncook]

Aw that's so sweet! Honestly I'm honored to hear I give Phoebe vibes haha. Thank you so much for watching, and I'm glad you've been enjoying!

[@AdventureInBeauty]

You can rent puzzles too!! Many libraries have puzzles available, and there are also puzzle subscriptions like Completing the Puzzle

[@crowindigotarot]

Frenetic - that may be the word you were looking for 😊

[@MonthNo10]

I swear jigsaw puzzles are the only thing keeping the winter saddness away, personally

[@SweeTart77kkibble]

You make me laugh out loud every time 😂😂😂

[@gladh3on]

Love this, and you. My anxiety skyrocketed watching you put together a puzzle on top of the pieces puddled on the table. Goose is the best doggo

[@proudestmonkee07]

Oreo balls are my favorite and a signature treat I often bring (and I live in Chicago so hopefully we dont end up in the same place - but if we do, we can just eat each other's 😅). I like to add some peppermint extract during the holidays with some oreo crumbles and those glittery sprinkles, or crushed candy canes on top. They always get entirely eaten and I get so many compliments. They can also look so fancy or just like a sloppy delicious holiday mess in the best way. I really needed this reset. Thank you for just bringing it home (literally). I've felt so scattered and I need to change my environment/evening and weekend routines to be more aligned with the season and this is a great guideline.

[@ellevvi]

i love how your dog is just lowkey selfーsnuggling in the background ❤

[@caseyisbooked6752]

The Hipcheck is the realest daily pain of adulthood. Your channel is great, love everything you put out.

[@valorie1297]

stumbled across this video and your channel for the first time and i’m already obsessed. can’t wait to binge your videos LOL

[@morganevelyncook]

Ahhh welcome 🤗-enjoy the binge!

[@coverlilly]

[@morganevelyncook]

So happy you're here! Thank you for watching 💛

[@isae9683]

I love the full high five thought process explanation. I was right there with you

[@morganevelyncook]

The power of a good high five is unmatched hahaha

[@OkamiSun1]

I love that the dog is literally a vibe lol

[@LeicLO]

"I don't like adding unnecessary S's to the end of things" made ma laugh. I like people with principles 😂

[@usernamesnamesnames]

ngl I don’t care about the high five but loved the yap about it ❤

[@AmeliaisNeat1396]

Soup cube idea is mind boggling! Get out of my head!!

[@shammy_lowe]

i love your videos and your humor! they are always relaxing and give me some peace! 🫶

[@Saracalm50]

So fun , new subscriber , thanks for the thought and high 5s😂❤

[@morganevelyncook]

Welcome!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🤗

[@scorpionlolly]

I'm so glad I found your channel, I actually found most of your suggestions helpful! Seasonal depression hits different in the pacific northwest where I live and I'll take any tips I can get hahahah

[@Brittanyem]

Lmao peaceful Morgan randomly goes unhinged at 23:23

[@Romi_500]

Morgan, your channel is the balm my anxiety needed. Thank you. 😊

[@Khangeleyesasmr]

Not me fangirling at eeing my name lmaoooo SO HAPPY TO BE PART OF THE HIGH FIVING FAM

[@meme.d112]

love the idea of a bare minimum list!!

[@ChandraOrr]

This video took my anxiety from an 8 down to a 1. Thank you.

[@HAGGISWOOMAN]

Wow I needed that high 5 today! Thanks

[@mariagraziamarcelli4809]

This video is soo helpful, thanks for sharing these tips

[@Neuro-SpicyHobbit]

This is my first introduction to you. Ur right. I like the high five. Subscribed lol

[@SweeTart77kkibble]

Our library loans puzzles. Yes to knitting/crochet and thrifting for yarn is a fun day out of the house. Revers coloring books are VERY enjoyable! Watercolor pages and you use a felt tip pen to outline and doodle. Oh! And you can do a live bird feeder cam on the KZbins. Cornell Uni does a good one.

[@morganevelyncook]

Love all of these ideas!! Thanks for sharing! 🥰

[@ShadySadieLady]

I love you!! This is really helpful! 🙈🤧

[@heartquaked]

Amazing video!Thanks for all the ideas 🫸🏻🫷🏻 for me a few things that have helped embrace winter: rechargeable candles and good quality base layers
