7 mindset habits that help me stay calm, positive & sane | change your perspective at home

[@justabi_sings]

I wrote this quote down earlier this week - when I was feeling super down, and think it aligns with this video very well: 'The moment I accepted where I was instead of wishing I was somewhere else, everything just got better' - midnight gospel And it's so true!! The second you're able to just accept where you are it's like an instant weight is lifted off your shoulders.

[@farheens1885]

I recently realised this and although it is difficult to accept its so liberating!! Need to watch this show ☺️

[@larabarbatowolf1335]

ROWEINAAAA WATCH MIDNIGHT GOSPEL ITS AMAZINGGGGG AND SO ON BRAND FOR U

[@justabi_sings]

@Tiana Ranjo literally!! it took me a while to get into, but once I watched it with an open mind there were quite a few nice messages in it

[@pillowcloud6057]

Yes exactly! I was on my way to work, a little late as usual when I pulled up to some road work and a guard with a stop sign. A year ago I would have been super stressed and irritated at the wait but now I just sat back in my seat and watched the beautiful nature around me. Instead of wishing I had a better sleep schedule, that I’ve woken earlier or that I could have an apartment closer to work I just accepted that I was there, and I was not moving anywhere for a while. And I found myself thinking “thank god for these workers. Without people like them I wouldn’t even have a road to drive on” AND I WAS SO SURPRISED BY MYSELF! I just genuinely thought a nice thing about the people who held me up! Who was the reason for my delay. And that would never have happened a year ago. I’m so glad that I’m in such a healthy place now. Things do change and every pain will fade eventually 😊

[@youcandoit7408]

I know everyone keeps asking for a podcast (which you should definitely do if ya want because it would be amazing) but I just wanna take a second to say how beautiful your videos look and how seamlessly they fit the overall vibe of your channel. You are doing great Rowena, thank you for everything!

This reminded me of this quote: "I believe I know the only cure, which is to make ones center of life inside of ones self, not selfishly or excludingly, but with a kind of unassailable serenity - to decorate ones inner house so richly that one is content there, glad to welcome anyone who wants to come and stay, but happy all the same when one is inevitably alone." - Edith Wharton Thank you for teaching me how and encouraging me to decorate my inner house richly. ♥️

I NEVER don't need a new video of yours. Perfect to start my day

[@clarebelman1539]

I found it really eye opening when you mentioned seeking purpose over happiness. I know that you have videos on finding your purpose but maybe you could explain how that is different from chasing happiness. The college admissions process and considering what I want to do with my life is really overwhelming and this may help me put my feelings in perspective.

[@victorialim]

Aw Clare all the best w the college admissions process, it can be a tough one, having gone through it myself not too long ago. Remember that your worth is so much more than which school you get into, especially since the process can be arbitrary and there are so many things about it you can’t control! Sending love x

[@Agreatperhapsbylilo]

i'd say she means this; chasing happiness is something that sounds good. you are basically changing the positive and the good. you want to achieve well so you can find happiness. And happiness is a great trait. however, if you strive for achieving just that you are basically waiting the rest of your life to get that. it's just a feeling, a high moment. you are waiting until your next birthday with friends or going on holiday. happiness is solely an emotion and I feel like people that strive to solely be happy will not get what they want. striving purpose, however, finding what you truly believe in and what you are meant for is something bigger. it is motivating to wake up feeling like you are meant to be here. it will just as much get that happiness and content feeling. but seeking purpose is much more about the journey than that one high moment you're feeling. that is why it's different. and don't feel like the purpose you seek has to be permanent. i had way different purposes 3 years ago when i started college than I do so now :)

[@marly-mae9489]

I don't know why but whenever I watch your reflection videos, I always cry. 🥺 It's like you're speaking to my soul and I find myself going back to the video, noting your advises and trying my best to apply them to my life. thank you for making these kind of videos Rowena ❤🥺

Greatness video Rowena Tsai!!! I came to this video looking for comic books that define me!! This was a great conversation you gave us!! I watch KZbin almost everyday and I have never seen someone give their viewers a HUG!! That was sweet and an awwwwww moment! Thanks for that!!

[@BasmaWh]

Hi Rowena! Just wanted to say I’ve been a big fan of your videos for 1+ years. I value your videos so much that I sometimes have to re-watch them if I feel like I didn’t give a video my full attention. Keep up the amazing work.

[@youngauntiesg8729]

Your sharing on “walking the middle path” really made me feel better. Thanks for sharing!

[@conniefleming1469]

Rowena, Thank you for the videos you make. You, above all other channels, have kept me company, entertained me, and motivated me to treat myself better. I am in the first week of eating nutritious food to see how it makes me feel (which scares my eating disorder, but I power on), and I have been making my bed for the past 3 weeks for the first time in decades. I love what you do and appreciate your efforts to helping me feel content with my life.

[@ケイト-n6x]

i absolutely love her hugs at the end

[@smekshamahay2748]

Hi Rowena! I hope you see this message and I hope it makes you feel better as you mentioned that you felt thumbs down instead of thumbs up! It has been just above a year since I have come across your channel including beauty within and coffee & cashmere and I am so grateful for that. Honestly, knowing the content from your videos has helped me so much, as I am myself also going through grief from losing my mother due to cancer and has been just above a year for that too. Also, who knows how many more people that may be in the same circumstances as me has 'breathed a little easier' because of you - haha see what I did there...I love that quote too...“To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded" And I thank you so much for that. As each day passes by there is always a sad moment after a happy moment, with all this grief, it is so hard to remain strong. No one can ever understand that pain until they go through it themselves and I guess they tend to get awakened and follow the path of post traumatic progress to help others like you do. Thank you once again Rowena...much love!!!

[@shivangigoel4450]

I feel your voice calms and soothes me more than meditation!! ♥️

[@MorriganSlayde]

Nothing is more calming on a bad day than the soft familiar voice, "Hello Sweetest Potatoes..."

[@maflenzie12]

I've never thought about prioritizing meaning over happiness. When asked about what I want from life I've always said, "I don't know, I just want to be happy," but never knew how to reconcile that, because you simply can't be eternally happy. Shit happens, even if you do everything "right". This is totally what I needed to hear. Thank you for expanding my perspective! :)

[@Mideezhanti]

That first quote literally sparked a breakthrough of something that was weighing on my mind. Thank you so much, I love your channel!

[@reebaquraishi1580]

Rowena you’re glowing! Idk you just seem different in a beautiful way :) anyways I really like the video! The Goggins quote about wanting quick fixes really hit me. Looks like I am going to have to learn to be more patient and appreciate the work- not just results

I still look to your videos to reel me back to normalcy when under stress. Thank you for making a huge impact in my life. Stay well and keep being awesome!

[@iterumm]

in the video where you mentioned that what the world is going on right now is a grief process: that helped me immensely. at that time i was unable to function, where my medication wasn’t working and my depression was debilitating. along with a couple other things i had on my wall “i am going through grief, and that is okay.” i was able to finish my first year of university, taking intensive classes a bit above my level and still get my as. that reminder came at the perfect time for me, thank you ⭐️

[@kristarzis]

ro you have such a knack for releasing vids saying the exact things im struggling to believe coming from myself! its super affirming and i really appreciate the time you take to connect with us and for sharing so much of what is or isnt working for you, so, thank you for the impressions you leave on me im endlessly grateful!!

[@karmilliab.a.lettings5064]

Rowena, i only just found your page yesterday but i have been binge watching ever since lol i just love you! i love how genuine you are and how kind and peaceful you come across. i may not know you but i feel proud of who you are and how far you have come. Truly inspirational. I too have lost my brother and i too have been on a rocky road, experimenting with drugs and so on for all the wrong reasons in the past, and i am now trying to heal from certain traumas and take care of my mind, body and spirit. i found you just in time! thank you

I don't know why but the last quote made me tear up. It just resonated to much with me.

Watching your videos instantly makes my day brighter. :)

I think the quarantine has affected all of us differently one way or the other. Sometimes I feel amazing and productive, other days I feel unmotivated and critical of myself.

Love your video!

Being our biggest supporter is so important !!! What helped me so much from the very start of my content creation journey is to always believe in myself and be my first fan and it makes the journey less lonely 🦋🌸 4. The black & white mindset was so mee a few years ago, i’m slowly understanding that there’s more to life ✨ 5. ALONE TIME IS EVERYTHING TO ME, college was such a great experience for me where I discovered self care & the beauty of solitude; i’m a bit nostalgic that it’s already done (a few months left but not physically as I’m writting my thesis) ! 6. I need to write all your book recommendations 😍 especially the one on grief it’s so beautiful 🌸 7. wow I love this so muchh✨ I know this is a very long comment, I loved this video so much I needed to interact with every habit you mentioned, thank you Rowena✨🌸

I would love for you to make a video going more into your personal journey with dichotomous thinking. This black and white type of thinking has been something that I've been reckoning with over the past year, after finally that I have been thinking this way for my entire life and it has really harmed me in the long term. Every day, I've putting in effort to "acknowledge both truths" of the black and white so that I can travel the Gray Path. I would love to hear how you realized the need for this change and how you went about this long process of changing how your brain thinks of things. I really appreciated this video. I'm especially grateful that you are continuing to make videos during this crazy time.

[@hnynights]

Thank you so much for this! Exactly what I needed this week 🙏

[@ArunaMusic]
