I’ve always loved gardening - it’s been my go-to way to unwind after long days. But lately, it’s started to feel like a never-ending to-do list. I moved into a new place three months ago with a bigger yard, so I thought it’d be a fresh start. Instead, I’m overwhelmed by how much work the garden needs, and I keep worrying I’m not doing enough to keep the plants alive. I’ve tried breaking tasks into smaller chunks and even set reminders, but the pressure hasn’t eased. Instead of feeling relaxed, I find myself dreading weekends because I know I should be outside working instead of resting. I want to find a way back to enjoying gardening without it feeling like a chore or a source of guilt. Has anyone else experienced this shift with a hobby they once loved? How did you stop it from becoming stressful, or did you have to let go of it altogether? Also, do you have tips for balancing self-care with hobby responsibilities when the line blurs like this?
