☀️ How to Stay Positive and Grateful Even At Your Lowest

Staying positive and grateful is a huge part of self care. But what do you do when you just can't seem to get out of your head? Here's how I try (emphasis on the *try*) to get out of my own head and redirect my focus on what's important and positive.
Btw, AMA's saved on my IG highlights. :)

I was so desperate that I searched up "how to be happy". And I really don't regret it, this video helped me so much!

[@AttilaVoices]

I searched up "how do you stay positive". close enough. Feeling quite under myself too... i think it's the first time i looked up such a video title...

[@juliaruggiero9055]

I searched up "what to do when you're really really sad" and Rowena came up, I watched one video after another. Glad I'm not alone.

I needed this because my lowest is very low and my highest is very high and my me is just me and I'm not being myself...I have a crush on someone and like I'm moving away and he's one of my friends and he's the only person that understands me. I've lost so much and I'm not ready for moving but I've been told I just gotta stick with it.

I tend to stress about minor things and have to remind myself that a lot of things in my life are great. Thank you!

[@Bluemarinegirl]

In the beginning of year I got evicted from my home and my family and I cried a lot because we knew it was unfair. My landlord picked up our check late on PURPOSE from his PO box to legally kick us out & other tenants. We kept getting denied entry everywhere we applied and that takes a tole on you! I spent finals week moving, studying, and doing educational feildwork... After life shit on me I decided to just put good energy out there and I'm not afraid trying new things! I quit my shitty retail job and now I work in a feild that cares about it's employees and where I can make a diffrences. You'd be surprised how many long time friends you lose when you start doing good it's like they liked you better when you were sad. My best advice is exactly what you said If you view things temporarily your mind will have an easier time processing it! If you are stuck in shitty times we are all rooting for you!

[@literaryprints]

Sending a lot of good vibes your way, Rowena! This was a really thoughtful, kind video I didn't know I needed. I just started my second semester of uni and it's so easy to get caught up comparing myself to others + not taking the time to pause and be grateful for all the good just waiting to be seen that I already have. What you said about meditating on death to repel all doubts when it comes to difficult decisions really struck a chord in me, too. Thank you for always being a friend pushing us to grow into the best version of ourselves!

Thank you for this. I haven’t told many people in real life, but I found out I was pregnant not long ago and it was unexpected. I have a loving husband but so much is going through my mind and my hormones are additionally making me depressed. But you’re right...it’s ok to feel that way sometimes and love yourself.

Congratulations! Please remember that life gives you 9 months to get used to the idea of becoming a mother and to prepare for this life event. Take your time. And let me tell you, not everyone feels great while pregnant, even though it can look that way. It's okay to feel like crap. You'll be okay in the end!

I started watching this video early this morning, and when you said "pause this and go do something," I paused and left to go to work and worked for 9 hrs. Lol maybe that wasn't quite what you had in mind haha. It was nice to come home and finish the video, and then actually take a few minutes to chill, pat myself on the back, etc. There's something very comforting about watching and listening to you talk about how you're struggling with things but that it's all okay. Thank you for sharing your struggles, Rowena. Lots of love and good vibes to you.

I hope you guys know that your not alone, if it makes you feel better I’m currently on a bumpy road (mentally) and I’m trying to stay positive. Your not alone 😍

This made me cry. a lot. Thanks so much for this video. I've been struggling a lot this year starting April. At times I would be okay, I would feel happy but most of the times (just like now), I'm so sad and lost. Just don't know how to motivate myself... But yes, this too shall pass. I know things would be better. Take Care and Godbless ❤️

[@patriceanderson4661]

I've felt a bit blue last week ... which resulted in me slacking off completely with yoga and meditation and exercise in general also. Which I just realized after watching your video... is probably the reason why I've allowed this little rut to continue into this week ... cos I DIDN'T get up and do these obvious things I know make feel sooo much better!! : Z I'll take this video as a perfectly timed reminder ... to re-start the steps to "unrutting" myself : P Also a lot of you tubers that give positive tips ... say it in a way as if they do the tips daily without fail and their tips keep everything peachy 24/7. So I find your honesty about having to remind yourself of your own tips and being open and accountable about where you can improve ... very refreshing and relatable!! Your channel has been a great help to me and the fact you cover ... not only...usable little day to day tips as well as life goals ... but also the importance of spiritual growth as well : D So thank you ... You are an inspiring lady and I'm so pleased I found yours and yoga with Adriennes channel : ) My two favs.
