[@SheraPhillips]

YAH YEET that’s sweet. I’m up late too. Early is more like it.

[@akshata3710]

Amazing 😀 thanks

[@seoulologyy]

This is so what I needed. It’s extremely easy to sleep the day off, watch media until my eyes hurt, and just consume and feel horrible at the end of the day. I definitely need to set my quarantine system so I won’t wast the day away and give depth to my time...love that point! Looking forward for more of your content!

[@SheraPhillips]

teariffic this was sooooo helpful!!

[@hannahabel5951]

I love that you're videoing your "normal" human things and routines. There's something very endearing and adorable about it.

[@jordinarylife1323]

“A certain darkness is needed to see the stars “ that line hit me ✨

[@remy2590]

Isn’t that from twilight?

[@samf8405]

My mom and I are learning for the first time what it means to practice self-care, to not judge ourselves for our struggles, and to find ways to move on from our traumas and build bigger, better, fuller lives for ourselves. She and I have struggled for years to find a decent therapist that might teach us these concepts, but the area we're in makes it difficult to find someone both reputable and affordable. These videos have really helped me personally, but they've also helped me present these ideas to my mom, who has been struggling for much longer than I have. Sometimes the thought of accepting even the "bad" emotions can seem radical to her, but I think this really helps get the message of balance across. So even though this is a bit of an old video, thank you Ro, for helping us learn and grow. I can't tell you how much it means to us.

[@bri2022]

Hey Rowena, being in quarantine all day has left me really sad and alone and since coming across your channel I can say that I can see a glimpse of light at the end of this tunnel. I watch your videos probably every night😅. I’ve read some of the books you’ve recommended like atomic habits, omg LOVED. Just thank you, it’s gonna take a while before I can say I’m happy but, believe me when I say you’re helping me get there.💖 1% better

[@hazaleahconde8089]

Honey Bri 1% better is still better 💖 *virtual hug 🤗 * to you

[@bri2022]

Thank you💖

[@LifeWithLocc]

I’ve been reading atomic habits too!! Thanks to Rowena. 1% is all it takes. Each and every moment.

[@TaraWagner]

Yes! Love this. 🙌 Self-care is my JAM! I coach a lot of clients through developing and prioritizing their self-care routines and the main thing I see is that the more drained, burnt out, anxious, tired, or depressed you are, the less energy you have to do the things that will make you feel better. Just like anything else, it gains momentum and can feel impossible to do what will help us feel better - even if we WANT to. It's important to remember that: A) It doesn’t have to be long and involved. It just has to be healthy. B) It doesn’t have to look like we’re told self-care looks. It just has to leave us feeling a bit better than when we started. C) There are plenty of options. We have to focus on doing the things that’ll help you move the needle - even just a little bit.

[@TaraWagner]

Things are bit crazy right now and it can be so overwhelming to figure out where to start, so I want to add to this by sharing this video I did on 30 self-care ideas that can be done in 60 seconds or less, and/or take hardly any energy at all to get started to help anyone watching that may need support start moving the needle! ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3mZiXpuZ7d4a6c

You're radiating with positive vibes. The way you handle yourself is such an inspiration. You gave me hope.

[@tanveesharma2636]

I have been feeling do depressed for the past year. Your videos always calm me down and help to be more positive and productive. Thank you so much xx

[@betulaltu4477]

love it!!! I'm happy that you're happy with yourself. no one can hurt you, you love yourself more than anyone.

[@khaibhojkhai]

Hi Rowena. Just wanted to say your videos are really calming. During the quarantine I have been sitting with my emotions which I would have otherwise ignored in the past and it's not easy. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They are like little sparks of inspiration and motivation to keep doing the mundane tasks even when you just don't want to get up from the bed the whole day. I hope you stay safe and healthy. Lots of virtual hugs x

[@thandekajennifer6510]

Sticking to my schedules and systems is really keeping me sane, and your video on creating systems was really helpful.

[@SheraPhillips]

Thandi's Online that video was soooo helpful!! It also inspired my last one.

[@iu.maxvlogs]

Rowena, I feel your peace through the practice of stillness. Thanks for being you

[@HeyDayane]

I love that you keep reminding us to embrace stillness. It's something I tend to rarely do but when I do it, it reminds me of how good it is to just take the time to sit in peace.

[@jeannemorona_]

This video just came right into my need! I'm having trouble confronting my feelings and thoughts again, and this came like an answer from Heaven 🤧 Thank you Rowena 💖 I hope you're doing great!

[@tdiia]

super tips girl self care for me it's to connect with myself, meditating, sleeping early, trying to be productive.

[@magicandriches]

@rowena this description is a MASTERCLASS in optimization. Dankeshein!

[@deni4422]

I found your channel two days ago and you have honestly WOKE ME UP. I used to be such a positive thinker but I've been in a slump for a couple of years. It's been so great to watch your videos and manifest all the positive mental attitude thinkings that I've forgotten about for so long. So thank you! Keep doing what you're doing.

[@narlight]

Rowena, I love you! When I watch your videos I feel nothing but love, pure kindness. I can feel again and not be afraid of it. Thank you! 🙏🏻From my whole heart! 🌸🖤🌸

[@creativendinda]

I love you Rowena.Am from Kenya and every morning the first thing before I do anything at my work place I check your videos even if it means repeating them for the tenth time.You are my source of inspiration in so many ways and I wanna start a KZbin channel.Inspired by you don't forget.😍😍 Be safe 😘😘

[@mamtawankhede1832]

Had been keeping low and ro's video was just exactly what I needed right now , I cannot even emphasize enough on how much I needed this, gonna re watch and gonna note down things, thanks ro, you're so beautiful

[@prabhdeepdhaliwal25]

I’ve been thinking recently that since we all have so much time on our hands, we need to be wayy more conscious of what we spend that time on and what we consume and your videos will always be something I spend time on and consume!! I don’t know you personally but every time I’m feeling unmotivated or in a rut, I turn to your videos! So thank you!! Keep it up, Rowena!! ❤️❤️

[@melolavender9737]

Hi Rowena love your videos! I’ve been trying to optimize my time as much as possible while working from home but also trying to find balance and re-creating my habits ❤️ stay safe everyone and stay home if possible

[@whitenoiserelaxingnoises2428]

Am I the only one listening to her as background music because her audios are seriously so calming and motivating!!!

[@waterhersoul_]

I love how authentic and real you are. The fact that you allow yourself to make mistakes and even have that on your vids 🥰😍 It makes me feel human a lot. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@melodyyippmen1210]

Rowena, this made me really look at myself and how I live my life. I want to thank you for this video and you can count another subscriber!

[@samanthahu4803]

Thanks for this. This past month in quarantine has been very challenging to say the least, having even more down time than you since there's no work right now. I've been doing almost all the "right" things; eating healthy, exercising, taking walks, gardening, etc, however during all the quiet times this relentless anxiety always floods back in. I try to use the quiet times to meditate but to little avail. Thanks for the reminder that we're all going through this together, and the quote about making the most out of this time right now. Self-care is a practice, both physically and mentally.

[@MelissaFreeman]

Coming to your channel & taking a little time away from the worries of the world helps me tremendously. 🙏🏽 thank you so much

[@katitoff2024]

It’s the end of May 2021. This video is still relevant. Thank you, Rowena!

[@m.e.5]

That last tip and first quote from David Gloggins! Great content. Thank your for those moments of silliness and beautiful meditation

[@yoursturly7100]

All this comforted me in a way😭 thank youuu ❤❤❤ much love

[@adalgisatejada8488]

your voice is so calming. I love your videos!

[@ulfahdamia6876]

one thing that i realize from a bunch of your video is, this girl read a lot of good books and also makes me read more good books, Thank You!!

[@ghostc4stle]

What are the motions you do while you meditate? Will you make a video about it at some point? This video was amazing btw thank you so much!

[@SH-sb5ky]

really need these videos during quarantine. thanks for your content!!

[@gabbycalara]

ive been really down n ungrateful of what i have these days. this video helped me put things in perspective. thank u rowena, i hope you’re well

[@cwright8472]

Hi Rowena, I just wanted to say that I found your channel, like many other do, after watching you on Beauty Within, where you, Fel and your team make quality skincare content. But I must say, I've been watching your personal videos lately and I find your mindset so enlightening, refreshing, and gives me much to aspire towards. I want to discover ways to make the most out of my time, while maintaining a balance of productivity and relaxation (I liked your stuff about leisure time in another video). So I wanted to take this time to say thank you, and that your humor, perspective and words are really appreciated. Take care!❤️✌🏻️

[@applesake2628]

I am so glad I found your channel bc you motivate me to do things and I am so thankful to you for that.

[@moonlightliberty]

Rowena, I adored this video, and your channel as a whole. You always make me feel so calm and reflective - a true blessing and a talent. Thank you.

[@MidnightLibrarian88]

Hi Rowena, I hope you're doing well and staying healthy up in NYC. Your videos always bring such light and happiness into my day, especially during these crazy times. Your content most definitely puts me at ease, and your inspirational advice also keeps me balanced throughout the day. Stay safe! Big voice hug to you too!

[@suchitapaul7814]

A much needed video in such uncertain times. You are such a positive person and I always tend to watch your videos when I am feeling down, and coincidentally enough, Spirited Away, our repeataur of happiness. I was so waiting for a video from you. Thank You Rowena. Stay Safe. Stay healthy.

[@alexandrarain23]

Thank you for the reminder to take self care seriously right now! Grateful for this.

[@marifebechaida1067]

Just when I needed mental clarity for more headspace, there I take my dose of Rowena's vlog as needed. Love you, sweet potato!

[@heyjezzz]

Love your videos rowena!! your videos as so underrated and I'm so grateful I found your channel in times where I need it the most. Stay safe, keep inspiring and you are such an epitome of a real woman who gives out positive vibes and peace of mind! Saranghaeeeeee

[@naida7810]

Awesome video. I love the positive vibes and constructive advice🙏i always get inspired!

[@sydvaca]

i usually resonate with your content and today is no different! i especially loved this one. i even took notes and created a ponder sheet (it doesn't quite feel like a "worksheet") of questions to ask myself and things to think about to help elevate and uplift my spirit during these unprecedented times. thank you for these simple and attainable ways to process and evaluate how i'm taking care of myself. comment hug!

[@NikaEngHere]

I just wanted to say you're amazing. You have so much energy, you're so real. It really inspires more than bloggers with the perfect figure, perfect looks, perfect order, perfect diet and perfect life, who tell us: Love yourself and your life, it's so simple. Thank you for your work. Keep it up!

[@melaniecruz4129]

Hi Rowena! I just want to say that your videos make me feel calm and safe :) Your words are healing. Your family and friends are lucky to have such a kind and caring person. I hope you are doing well! Stay safe.

[@gloriazhu2658]

hi rowena - just wanted to say I was feeling pretty stressed out today, and this video really helped to re-center and calm myself down. I relate a lot to you talking about getting caught up in seemingly endless work / feeling like I always have to be on the grind or else I'm wasting time, so I really appreciate your videos; they help ground me and make me realize that there's more to life and more to me then just my accomplishments and the work I get done :)

[@charlize_n]

Thank you for another lovely video. I just wanted to let you know your tips and philosophies really inspire, and I even take notes on your videos and many other KZbinrs on how to be more productive and balanced :) Thank you again

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

My life was changed by reading the power of now and since you have mentioned it I think it definitely requires more than one reading to understand. So I know what I am going to do now!

[@itshanyb01]

Wow this is such a feel good video I feel like I'm in the right path with my life choices recently because I try to make the most out of my day recently

[@trivenishetty7956]

Hey Rowena, thank you for the calming and really needed supportive video right now.... 😇🙏🏼 Can you please help me know about the meditation form that you did to lean in positive.... I felt it calming and inspiring.

[@ellel8337]

I'm actually so happy to have found this channel! I feel more organised, positive and motivated since watching your videos. Thankyou for your content 💖

[@LifeWithLocc]

Your videos are THEE best. Gosh 😫❤️ thank you!!

[@hynjn9]

This was so lovely, and just what I needed to hear... Thank you very much

[@nataliefields9009]

I heard this quote from a great health podcast I listened to recently, “You don’t rise to the level of your expectations. You fall to the level of your training.” Some people have already cultivated habits that keep them at peace in times of hardship and uncertainty. Its up to us to do the same and armor ourselves with practices to deal with stress when it arises ✨

[@nataliefields9009]

omg! just reached 6:50 and you said the same quote ahhh synchronicity 🥰

[@marla0412]

needed this so much. i've been lazying around, not connecting to anyone the past two weeks. but I should get work on my voice and knowledge on music theory and get ready for my finals that are coming up in 6 weeks!! thank you rowena

Hiii love ya lots! I got your bracelet in November and my mom really wanted one but it was sold out for a bit, but I just got an email saying they restocked and I got her the set, I’ve been wearing mine everyday since I got it, so getting her the set was a no brainer! Thank you for being such an inspiration, thank you for these amazing videos, and thank you for being you! 사랑해요 ❤️

[@kriscote9017]

how much depth are you willing to -- dig to! Love the video, as always; this time I listened while did some soft yoga and your words and voice, the texts you quote from, and the music have all gifted a wonderful backdrop. I look forward to sitting down to watch this one later with my journal.

[@LindseyUijleman]

I love your pajamas, seriously where do you buy them? I love you, thank you for all your wise words! You have really helped me so thank you very much!

Your videos make me fw uplifted, definitely 💙💫 btw I got super surprised when you sat in a full lotus position at 12:31. It's extremely difficult to do, kudos to you. I practice Vedic meditation and yoga techniques daily, like pranayam and surya namaskar. Watching your video, I feel like trying some Japanese techniques too. Do you have any tips or suggestions? 💙💫🙏
