healthy habits | how to make time to take care of yourself even on the busiest & most hectic days

[@eliseyang4859]

I feel mentally drained and down even on days where I am doing nothing. Mostly because I spend it on my phone and feel bad about not being productive. Can anyone relate?

[@rowena]

yes :')

[@wilmaallen9872]

Absolutely

[@AKASHSARATH]

Watch Andrew Kirby's video on dopamine detox.

I’m on my second day working 12 hours, missing workouts and 10th day in a row or work... Rowena, it’s like you read my mind.

[@rowena]

gotchu hehe we got this Nicole!! 💕

[@bonithechubbypotato5100]

Sometimes I’ll feel guilty for not being productive, while not being productive and laying at my desk for three hours straight.

[@CassieWinter]

It's really easy to underestimate how much rest we really need. Please don't feel guilty.

[@thalissacarvalho4109]

thank you for existing rowena thats all im gonna say

[@rowena]

thank you for existing just the same 😭

[@emi_lam]

Literally feels like I'm drowning in school work (every other week is live a new wave of midterms wtf), job applications, maintaining my college job that I never have time to appreciate the small moments with my friends, professors, and family. Definitely needed this video as I attempt to get through each week before graduation!🥲

[@CassieWinter]

You can do it!

[@siantr0013]

You’re doing so well and balancing so much! That sounds like a huge amount to manage. Wishing you all the best for this final push especially. I really hope you can find moments to rest deeply afterwards x Take care!

[@aleksandraa.5294]

I feel the same 😣 I'm soo tired, but we can get through this

[@sophiawoods9799]

with finals coming up, i feel like rowena always knows exactly what videos we need.

It’s cute how Rowena changes her voice when she calls her bf 😩🥰

If you happen to scroll down your comments section, I hope you put on a smile while reading this. Because you saved so many smiles (and breath) in between my adulting journey. Thanks so much, Ro! Keep going

[@tyralee2286]

Watching this as I do my night routine. I really needed this video, because I’ve been feeling unmotivated and lethargic lately.

[@clau_sing_]

her relationship with her bf is the cutest I wanna see more of that

[@myoonie7]

I was out of school for more than a month because of covid and I've been feeling so overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to catch up to. It feels like a huge wave is looming over me but my feet are stuck on the shore. Thank you for this gentle reminder, Rowena

[@chetnasingh2816]

Today's morning has been especially difficult, nothing serious, just getting out of bed, making bed, washing up, going out for cycling, starting with Yoga, but I still made it and given that all of that is for my own health and for the sake of my bare minimum self-care, this video came at such a good point of time! Hope this reaches you Ro, you are such a motivation for me and so many others! Saranghae *insert hand heart* I'll

hello rowena, just want to thank you for helping me so much during the time where i was suffering from anxiety and self loathing, you inspired me to love myself more and accept the reality, and now you are helping me during a very overwhelming time of my life (its my 4th day of a new job). thank you for being the big sister i never had

[@X3TenshiNoChu]

I am leaving my full time job to do a stay at home job tomorrow. I'm scared and nervous with alot of pressure but I just couldn't do what I had been doing for the last 4 years. I'm burnt out and depressed. Haven't been productive over a year and shit keep happening involving insurance claims, lawyers, and police reports, and etc. I want to have healthy routines but there is always a voice in the back of my mind telling me nothing matters, it won't make a difference. No friends, boyfriend, stable income, mental wellness, and the pressure that I'm gonna be 30 hit me everyday. Having to support my fresh out of college sister and two cats, eating away my savings. Sometimes it felt like it is the end of the line for me. I'm getting more and more scared to leave the house because I was afraid of getting hurt or offended, making mistakes and fucking up. I'm glad I found your channel because with a new fresh start, I am hoping your channel will be my spiritual guide until I can figure things out on my own. I love your content but I just need to start applying them. Thank you.

[@gro8874]

Girl I feel you. I'm losing my mind. I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of that.

[@lyssa-13]

literally PERFECT timing. Just finished an 11 page report and 4 tests...needed this :)

[@CassieWinter]

Wow that's amazing! High five!

[@eartht0erika]

1. Girl you always know when your potatoes need ya. Your intuition is on point 💚 2. Your skin is incredible, glowy and gorg 😃 3. I so relate to the notion of a drawn out to-do list. Mine is the length of a children's book 🙃 😭 4. "So bing bing" made me awwwwww, I absolutely love and adore how supportive and caring your bf is toward you💕💕 5. Thank you thank you thank you 😙 I've been a stubby sweet potato friend for years now and it's been awesome watching you and myself grow thru this beautiful thing called life!

[@GiovannaOaken]

Oh my goddess. I relate to so much in this video!! Thank you so much for it!!! I would love if you could make a video on how to manage multiple works? Like college, work, freelances, having a yt channel etc? How to change from one to another and keep productive etc. I love your channel please never quit this ❤❤❤❤

[@yolandagrady7232]

Your voice is so soothing. It's actually helping to calm my stressed-out nerves at the moment!

[@improvewithsoo-selfdevelop1219]

1. Figure out your non-negotiables. 2. Do what you need to help you feel your best. 3. Be gentle with yourself. Been feeling productivity guilt lately. This came at a perfect time!

oh dang, I really needed this video today Ro, and you didn't even knew it hahaha. Thank you so much for sharing this! Sending you the sweetest and warmest light and vibes for you 🌻🌟 greetings from Mexico City!

You have the greatest timibg ever. From this week on i going be pushing myself to the limit. Needed this

So comforting to find someone as sensitive to caffeine as me! I thought I was just a freak of nature 😖

[@CassieWinter]

Right?! I can't even tolerate decaf tea 😢

[@JaclynYMusic]

SAME FAM! I am shaking after one cup of tea and I can’t sleep all night if I have caffeine after 2 pm...

[@jillian1011]

Same here. I like coffee as a taste/flavor, but I don't like its effects on my body when it gets excessive

[@libbitjones6669]

I’m the exact opposite💀. I could have like three cups at 11pm and fall asleep. I wish that I could get energy from a drink😭😭

[@DoctorKat]

Love waking up to this beautiful video! The book “make time” has helped me so much changing my every day life and creating more space and time for the things that matter to me

[@BlazinStar5]

Man, I literally finished work just now, its like 10pm and I was thinking how overwhelmed and tired I always feel from it. Then I get a lovely notification that you uploaded this video. Thanks Ro. I needed this.

[@nefertitimontoya]

A possible solution to the inevitable piles of skin care of different categories: you could have an "inbox" shelf with 3 (or however many for "try" "sponsor" "give to friend") acrylic bins so they always have a place then you can have a little shop in your bins for a treat :D

[@izzi5350]

I've been burn out and mentally exhausted in the past week and I'm trying to look for ways/habits to pick myself up and be productive and healthy again. Thank you for your videos!!

[@chinny7700]

thank you rowena 🥺 i needed this as i feel overwhelmed every time i wake up. i realize i need to tweak my systems for self-care xx

[@neishahazra1559]

The way Rowena and James speak cutely to each other is so adorable

[@jennib2097]

Needed a few more of your videos after that premiere. Thank you for being amazing and creating the content that you do. I've watched your videos over the years and they have always helped me especially struggling with a low moments in my life. Thank you thank you thank you. I cannot wait to meet more people like you in my life. You understand exactly how to make life a little easier for those of us hitting that wall in our journey. Love you and everything you do.

do you have any videos or have you considered making like a recipe series of sorts? all the foods you make look incredibly delicious and i'd love to try them out myself! :D

Zoom university has been so stressful and as a voice major, I am having a really difficult time learning over zoom and doing all my lessons and coaching online. I'm hopeful that we will start to open up next semester!

[@eggloria4371]

rowena's videos are so calming

[@bettyreads222]

This came at a much needed moment. Had a meeting with someone that put into perspective that it's crucial to know what our needs are and what rituals we can put in place to support ourselves. Gonna be reflecting and taking some action on that for sure. Take care everybody.

I want to do creative work but I must do my law class assignments. I finish those just fine, but I feel so drained afterwards. Depression does not help either.

What kind of creative work do you do?

[@BoggiFroggy]

@@CassieWinter Music and fiction writing.

i always come to rowena's channel when i feel lost or burnt out and at this point i think i can say it's my comfort channel for lifestyle if that makes sense. she always inspires me a lot and i love how she's always real with her advice. she shows how she's also slowly growing with the tips she shares but it's also realistic in a way that we don't get better or results overnight. she reminds me it's a always a continuous process, and that we should take our time (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ i'm really grateful for your work and i'm glad u exist to help lots of potatoes ♥️🥰❣️💗💘💓💕💖💝💛💞💚💙💟

[@Amirisphere]

My dog took her last breath in my ear on the 2nd of April this year after shock and a dangerous blood loss situation, I want to be my strongest for her because of how hard she fought but get these times where when I want to do my work, I just lose all interest in it and everything else. She really did her best to survive and I really did all I could to assist her, what do I do? I sometimes want to cry but don't want to be sad about it because it was the best option with her suffering, I just miss her, how do I uplift my spirits more? My apologies if this seems scrambled, but this is all I could muster.

[@N-ud7yf]

I lost my dogs too and they are family to me. Do you believe in spirits ? I do, and I felt. You dont have to pretend like you are not sad or anything. Let your emotions out. Wherever you can feel the most connection with her, talk to her aloud. Tell her you miss her, love her. And pray her to be happy in the heaven. If you love her that much I feel like she like you to be happy too.

[@Amirisphere]

@@N-ud7yf You're a Good person. Thank you. And yes, I believe in spirits, but I miss giving her hugs to start my days and hearing her scream at the vacuum for long amounts of time, but those shall remain memories that I will always cherish.

[@N-ud7yf]

The Amirisphere Zone Thank you..and sorry for my English. My deepest condolences. I can’t imagine what you are going through. She must have been happy to be around someone like you, someone full of love.

I can't imagine what you are going through but believe it, it's good for the doggo to go other than suffering a lot more here right? What happens, happens for the best. It's gonna be hard without it buddy but you got this okay?
