trying 5am morning routines for a week to (hopefully) reset my life

[@joannegracelleyap8277]

Rowena putting on anything up on KZbin makes my day, whether it’s light or meaty. It always feels like a catching up with a friend. Thank you for the work that you do, Rowena. And you are sooo beautiful! 💕

[@FatemeLife]

Exactly

[@marzettik]

So I’m chronically ill and have had to give up on having a steady morning routine because of it. What I try to focus on are they very little meaningful things. Like being grateful I didn’t vomit or faint that morning. Also things like having breakfast, even if it’s just a meal replacement beverage. That’s what I focus on.

[@andreapinedo2608]

this was SO good to hear Rowena doesn't love the billion dollar routine haha, I tried sticking to it for about 4 months and honestly it was so tiring and long. The game changer for me was auditing my energy and planning around that instead. Thank you Ro for everything!

[@lucylikes]

The first step of monk's morning routine hit really different, I'm tempted to try it myself, it seems like it definitely puts you in a whole new perspective right after waking up, thank you for trying these morning routines and sharing that with us! ❤

[@briannarae7306]

I have been living it for the last 4 years, and it's something I would love to recommend. The amount of peace you start your day with is unparalleled.

[@elaishh3533]

The best thing I have ever done to improve my morning energy is NOT eating after 8:30 pm the night before. It really was a profound difference for me.

[@hnnhml]

agreed, eating late is no good 😅

[@cpatel587]

At what time u eat ur first meal of the day after not eating all night?

[@sydneydeanne583]

hi!! I love your content! The cold water shock is actually a DBT technique based on research! It’s great for anxiety, especially as a quick tool for someone having a panic attack. I find it’s not needed as a regular practice, but is SUPER effective if the anxiety is overwhelming as an “as needed” tool.

[@halieransom]

As a therapist I immediately was like oh hey TIPP skill lol

[@snowowlish863]

I thought at first that I wanted to try only the monk's morning routine, as it has piqued my interest the most. But while I was writing it down, I realized that it would probably be better for me if I just created one that resonates the most with me-and it's a mix of some of the actions from the routines mentioned here plus a few of my usual. Thanks, Rowena! This is really helpful to me. :) 💕

[@hyleore]

the monk morning routine was the only routine that could make you cry, and YOUR morning routine _video_ was the only one that could make ME cry 😂 I need to be more present in my body.

[@sunset33533]

Three books that are good for this are "The 5AM Club", "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels" and "The Body Keeps The Score". I recommend getting those three in combo, amz might have them. It's so important to build a morning routine to preemptively manage anxiety. It took me a while but I now have a good one and it's still evolving.

[@Politegirl686]

Wbat does yours look like 😅

[@sunset33533]

@@Politegirl686 As soon as I get up I hydrate a lot with water. Then I do 10-15 min of stretching and deep breathing, then a mindfulness meditation, then sit in silence for 10min, then journal a little (even if it's just a sentence), then I'll make breakfast with a green tea..

[@FatemeLife]

In the embrace of community, we find the rhythm of slow living, where moments are savored, and connections are cherished. Thank you dear

[@ameliaheart5091]

2:37 just wanna say that even if it’s not “sunny” there’s still sunlight filtering through the clouds that is very good for you & your biorythm!!! Sunlight does way more than provide vitamin D, it actually has like 20+ benefits, so even of the sun is behind the clouds it’s a good thing to go outside and take in some daylight:)

[@itsambersimms6465]

I have been putting off watching your videos for a while because I know I’ve been slacking on my self care for too long and I thought watching your content would make me feel guilty for everything I’m not doing but today I woke up and told myself “this is enough, you’re in a funk and you need to get out of it” and the first thing I did was go to your channel and watched this video and these morning routines seem actually doable and beneficial. So thank you, definitely going to try this tomorrow morning ❤

[@amaniaay]

Came at the perfect timing 🥹💕 thank you Ro!

[@chloe10161]

could you maybe do one where its a bedtime routine? Also talk about getting out of bed/ stay out of bed

[@garlicismanul]

This video could not have come at a better time! I am trying to wake up early for work and I was looking up videos to set a morning routine!! Thank you for making this video :)

[@sookierory]

Thinking about death I think is the most powerful one, because it makes you reflect on what you would do differently and its easy to see what you may change if you actually had years to live, I was thinking about it with the video and it was...intense.

[@ArtyAntics]

Waking up at 4:30am to think about death is just depressing AF

[@halieransom]

Yeah maybe like one time for an introspective activity but damn not daily 😂

[@amanda_bliss]

Rowena I have loved you and your videos for YEARS and it’s so refreshing whenever you post. It feels like I’m safe again yk?

[@GracieLee-p9d]

Ah Rowena i owe you so much! You helped me start my self development journey in 2020 with your journalling video and i always love coming back to your channel to see how you navigate through life. It helps me immensely as a 21 year old who doesnt really know what’s going on haha

[@amycate3885]

you don’t understand how exited i am for this video. i first started watching rowena in 2019, and she has changed my life!!

[@tiffanymf]

the editing on this one is so calming and cute i love it

[@sana-gq2ur]

you’re such an angel ❤❤

[@joshshortt9599]

That monk really went straight for the jugular!

[@JadesDiaries]

I've never been this early before. Good morning! I can't wait to watch the video.

[@rowena]

thanks for being here 🥹🫶

[@sparkymularkey6970]

Let's go, Monk's Morning Routine!! 🧘🏻‍♀️

[@Queenstay249]

It's nice that your life is organized and you make time for yourself. I should study to have a life like this.💙💜💛💚

[@sarahhutton5741]

Such a powerful video! Thank you so much 💗💗 thank you for being vulnerable. Your videos feel like a warm cup of tea

[@JessicaNicoleDickerson]

I truly love this video and come back to it so often ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Happy New Year Ro🎉 Hope 2024 is everything you want and more

[@anastasialestari215]

Thank you for helping me finding myself again!

[@unaysahmullick]

Amazing vid keep up the work!

[@ohkayee]

This video was definitely needed 🍂 With the seasons changing, it’s been hard to come back to a routine and this was a great reminder to continue staying present :) Love watching your videos Ro!

[@hnnhml]

loved this! your vibe is just right for a chill sunday morning🥰

[@jeweldesilva8636]

The Koya pen OMG!!! 💜

[@victoriarhee2552]

Hi Rowena, not sure if you’ll see this (I have LOVED all your videos for the past few years), but I’m wondering if you could elaborate on your mindset, activities you did, places you went, things you thought about, etc. before, during, and after your trip to Korea that made it so fulfilling & healing? I’m going for the second time in my life back there to the motherland, and I’ve been in a period of stagnation as well, so I want to get the most out of this opportunity in a personal way (not necessarily a tourist way). Thank you for your amazing content!!❤

[@eightstv]

18:10 you could’ve did yoga but you chose violence 😂😂 i love ts

[@heatherlaureano]

I really like this video… Very helpful … You should do one based on Night routines…

[@ssophistocatt]

Yes! That would be awesome 🎉

[@Gh-id1nl]

Nice effort. I appreciate you gathering this information about morning routine. I hope if you can make second part : How to design an ideal routine for yourself.

[@anisyafs]

aaaaa loved thissss! ❤

[@LuzMHintz]

Love this video so much! The monk rotuine mades me cry too! It was so intense to have those thoughts but it really helped me! ♥

[@VMKjelly]

The “ice facial” is great for anxiety and the dive reflex

[@chloe10161]

loved this video btw !

[@A88-p5e]

ngl if i did the monk routine I think I would accidentally fall asleep

[@Iquey]

You might dream about dying though!.... I've had a few of those dreams without trying.😂

In your skincare routine you use a toner and then a vitamin c serum, what brand are they? Thanks

[@noellecharboneau6724]

Thank you for posting this

[@tamirescorrea5]

great video!!!!!!

[@antoni-zh8zy]

I started working as a freelancer and it's damn hard to control myself. Now i wake up at 1-2pm and sleep at 5am. I wanna be a morning person so so much I just don't know how I can change this body rhythm thing. Its affecting my life so badly...

[@shakillia]

This was fun to watch I think I would be open to trying the Monk and the Kendall Jenner routine. Very insightful. OMG! AGAIN, ROWENA YOU'VE HIT IT AGAIN. I am also not a big fan of showers. I also deal with dry skin. I hate being cold so I am really scared to do the cold showers. If anything I think it would take the fun out of my morning routine. I don't believe the billionaire routine is for me. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, Ro. I also am curious of trying the ginseng. I actually can't have caffeine and have been looking for alternatives to help give me energy in the mornings. Is this a good option? Or if anyone has any other suggestions I would appreciate it!

[@rowena]

thank youuu 🤭🫶 can def pick and choose habits from diff routine that speak to us and create our very own routine!! as for ginseng, would highly recommend esp as the weather is cooling down (it may be too “heaty” per TCM during summer time) but it does have a more earthy flavor that’s an acquired taste 😬 there’s also athletic greens & magic mind superfood shots!

[@shakillia]

@@rowena ☺Thank you so much! I'll keep a note to order the ginseng and try it out for myself. I'll also give the other suggestions a shot and see which one provides me with the most energy. I have a feeling the ginseng will be enough though. I'll be sure to buy some honey for the taste, lol. We got this! 🦾

The last time stamp is ‘ending thots’ 😅🤣 edit: don’t update it please lmao😂😂

Every man should start his morning routine with bare-knuckle push-ups on concrete and gravel. Why? Cuz it is pure manliness (I'm kidding). xD
