I loved your talk on hobbies and passions. We so often forget that those things are supposed to bring us joy, first and foremost. They don’t have to be productive to be valuable. You do enough work at work, hobbies are for fun!!

Love your transparency, Jenna. Sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves and our hobbies turn into a dreaded task rather than a fun experience. Loved seeing Selena make an appearance. Friendships like that are hard to find. Great vlog!

I loved the part you talked about your passion & hobbies & everything you said literally is on point. Stay true to yourself & it will all happen naturally. I think we are so conditioned to constantly be on a pursuit of something but it doesn’t always have to be that way. I appreciate your vulnerability & honestly.

Jenna, I couldn't relate more about the slippery slope of hobby becoming an obligation/burden when it's focused on performance. Exactly how I'm feeling with running (what was once my enjoyable activity) with half marathon coming up. Thanks for another quality video!!

I’m so glad you get what I mean 🥹 next up making running a hobby again

@sophie3588 7 ай бұрын

that is so understandable after the speed project Jenna! It's just a matter of finding your identity outside of "runner" and accept and love that person. It's okay if you never run again too! :)

I ran a half marathon years ago. Training for the half turned into a chore and it became an activity I had to do, not something I wanted to do. I took a big break from running, now I love it again! I’m back to running 3-8 miles a week depending on how I feel.

Currently starting my running break 🥹 I hope to get back there too just running for fun before I start marathon training this summer

Gah, your editing is just so good and just makes me feel so at ease. And I relate so much to a hobby turning into a passion and then feeling like work. I feel like that's how I got burnt out with photography and now that I'm doing social media part time, I'm scared I put myself in a similar situation. SMH 😭

@JennaHong 7 ай бұрын

Thank you Mikee that means so much coming from you 🥹 and I hear you, definitely allow yourself time to transition and it’s a good opportunity to redefine your own social media versus work’s social media

Watching this reminded me to sign up for some Orange Theory classes after a short break. On another note, my mom told me not to make my hobby my career when I was in elementary school. I found out very quickly in highschool that I liked doing art for fun, but hated doing art as homework. It's definitely super draining when the things we do for fun/to relax become things that give us deadlines and stress.

Thank you for sharing ❤️ I love that advice
