I'd love a video about it - don't have to be hyper intimate, but finding a balance with my mom is a topic that interests me a lot and I feel like your input could be interesting :) xx
that last point made me tear up... im not sure ive ever heard that before and i think i really needed it. everyones “best” changes from day to day and moment to moment, you cant hold yourself to the same standards as yesterday because today is a new day. thank you so much rowena (and your mom lol) ❤️ please take care and know that were here for you and we believe in you!!
thanks ace 😭❤️ I appreciate you!! if the last point resonated with you, I highly recommend skimming The Four Agreements. I think you'd find it magical as I have
Loved it! Your conversation with your mom brought made me cry. My mom passed in 1999 & how I miss all of her advice. Your mom sounds like a kind, loving and very wise woman. Thank you! I need to reread The Four Agreements:)
I suddenly miss my Mom. She just suddenly passed away almost 3months ago. Her passing means I needed to learn to manage everything that she manages (business, family budget, debts, taking care of my older sister who's actually a special child, taxes, lands, etc.) I need to continue everything that she's started. I thought then that I wouldn't have the luxury of freedom and time of a normal 20year old to enjoy the outside world. After around more than a month of losing her, while also recovering, that's when I found your channel. I didn't notice until now that whenever I feel down and want motivation and inspiration, I just start playing one of your videos and then I get better. I've been learning alot and sometimes it's like you're putting to words the thoughts that's just been sitting at the back of my mind that I can't get together. I learned so much about that one thing that I've been depriving myself of that I really needed to learn.. it's Taking care of myself. (I'm workaholic and don't always prioritize my happiness) Because taking care of myself means taking care of the people around me and the responsibilities that I have. I learned how to put to practice the 'sharpening the axe to be more effective and efficient.' My family is still my priority. But I learned how to prioritize my wellness and happiness too in the process of prioritizing my family's betterment which I thought I can't do because I thought before that I needed to sacrifice my happiness to make my family's life better. I'm really grateful to have found you. You're like an older sister to me now. :) I don't know what will I be doing now and how I will do things that I need to be doing now without the wisdom that I'm picking up from your videos. I'm praying that you be blessed more.💕
I wrote down some of what your mom said to reference later because it was so beautiful and powerful. Rowena, your videos are so important. The very fact that you have setbacks (if we can even call them that) is what makes your journey so real and relatable. These "growing pains" are a necessary part of life, but when we're having them it can be so hard to see that sometimes. Thank you for reminding me of this and for showing us your authentic self.
I’m taking an online summer course for the next 5 weeks and you are really helping me cope with the stress!! I’ve recommended your videos to countless people because you are such a big influencer for me. I often got from a 3/10 in mood to 8-10/10 in mood after watching your videos!! I hope you can continue this for a long time.
I can honestly say you're one of my favourite people that I've never met. As well as being thoroughly charming, I respect your honesty, letting your viewers know how you've been, and in trying to be a source of support and joy to others even when you're not feeling at your best. If I were to give one piece of advice from my own perspective it would be that the phrase you picked up from your dad was the wisest advice in this video. You helped me remember that simplicity is a key part of happiness, for myself at least. I understand that for others it feels like a healthy challenge to seek to further our own sense of self, but I'd trade it in for a life where I laughed and played more. Thanks again Rowena. :-)
I think it is rather magical, this thing the universe does. I had just put down The Four Agreements after finishing it, and your video appears in discussion of it. What a thoughtful video Rowena!!
I hope on the days when you’re feeling a downward slump that you remember how many lives and people you’ve touched and changed (and continually will) with your videos. I’m much older than you and I often find myself in awe of how wise and mature you are. I smile at your quirky jokes and tear up when you share your personal stories and the most resonating/relatable quotes. You are such a good egg, Rowena! Thank you for being such a great beacon of light and sharing with the rest of us (i.e., me) how to be better and kinder humans too. xo
Let's all share Rowena and get people to release how truly incredible this human is. I'm shook that these don't have hundreds of thousands of view. How? Great job, Rowena!
i love these sit down and talk type of videos! self love tip: buy a silk pillowcase. stops bacteria from causing acne, helps with split ends, is cool in the summer and feels boujee as f!
I can't even explain the effects that your words have on me. This is exactly what I needed after 14 hours of studying. Thank you for opening my eyes and inspiring me with every video, Rowena!
Rowena! Thank you so much for these videos. You're helping me find myself before I go off to college. This past year has been crazy for me and it's been a huge blessing in my life to have an example of someone who's realized themselves in such a raw way, and moved on to love and improve themselves and their environment. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I have been struggling so much with my depression lately and feeling the urge to do unhealthy things for myself. Your videos have been a hugely important reminder that taking care of myself and being mindful will help me get through this. Your videos are so helpful and well organized. Thank you so much for all that you do, Rowena! 🌱
thank you for this. i honestly think i’m a very self-aware person.. i always thought i knew how to take care of myself but i wonder why i still get grumpy, moody, etc even if i know deep inside i don’t want to and all i wanna do is be kind to others.. but now i know its because i’m not kind to myself. i have too high expectations of myself and i think its about time i lower that and stop overworking myself (for context, i’m trying to get into med school. i got rejected once and now i’m trying again). i will still try my best, but i wont overwork myself to the point where it affects how i treat myself & others. thank you so much for this video.. this is just what i needed this week esp with the exam season coming up. 🙆🏻♀️
Thank you for your own continued understanding, devotion and education to benefit my path to turning into more consciously attentive not to mention spiritually connected.
I think you're honest. That's what I always glean from your videos. Honesty. You suggest, but never act like you know better. I really appreciate that.
I just found your page. I've been watching a few of your videos every day. I'm so happy I found your page. Our life dynamics are so different. I'm a wife and a homeschool mother of four. But your videos are so helpful. I suffered from depression as a young adult and even after having my children. I've been on a journey, trying to be kind to myself. I want my children to know being kind to yourself and being at peace with yourself is just as important as doing good to others. Thank you for sharing. Xoxo
Your mom is lucky to have you, Ro. You’re very thoughtful and considerate of her even when she’s missing the irony of her behavior when she’s Preaching or her lack of self awareness in her behavior towards you sometimes. This is very familiar #Chinese&TaiwaneseMomsStruggles. They mean well but can be emotionally insensitive & critical sometimes. Give yourself a pat in the back for gracefully handling those instances, validate yourself for being an awesome daughter 👏
Thank you so much for sharing your personal reminders with us. Not only are these reminders important, but as someone only a handful of years younger than you and terrified about not having my life together, it’s incredibly hopeful to see that people older than me and well established and awesome content creators can still have times where life really does seem to “fall apart.” Really, thank you, your videos are so wonderful and helpful, and I hope they in turn help you too.
Rowena, you do such a great job at inspiring and relating, and that comes from your authenticity, not from your ideas of perfection! I love your mom's impromptu advice. She's so smart!
Rowena you’re such a sweet girl. I really appreciate how you put yourself out there with these videos, and I hope you know how much they mean to people. Over the last year or so I was really struggling with mental health and I remember watching one of your videos for the first time while I was in recovery and I was so touched. I felt like you were someone how really understood how important taking care of yourself is, and was working hard to do just that. Thank you for your bravery and hard work to create these videos that are so moving and inspirational to everyone who has the privilege of watching them.
Her tear answer Love yourself 💖 I am going through this right now I feel these past few years. Finding out what matters to me and my purpose in life and now I am trying to get over what others think about me to push myself forward to do what I want in life. I really enjoy your videos because this is helping me gather my thoughts through this process. 😊 Thank you
I've been watching your videos for a few moths now and I can't tell you how much I appreciate how open, honest, and conscious you are in your videos. It's a great reminder to your subscribers and people who follow you. I find that often with social media it's hard, particularly for younger women to be accepted as a conscious being and somehow you melt The Two together perfectly. I highly recommend checking out the Aubrey Marcus podcast #151 with Luke Storey. I listened to it this morning and it kind of reminded me of what you're taking about in this video. Happy awakening my friend. May you learn the lessons you need and take from those experiences something you may use for the rest of time.
Impeccable with your words is so true. I've been trying to be more mindful of that since what we say is what we are. I've been trying to get my friend I was staying with to do the same since he has children and would say such negative things towards them being it joking or not and I'm like please stop because you don't wanna speak something bad over them or make them internalize what you're saying, and since his life ripples to them I'd tell him to speak positively about himself as well. Our words definitely reflect our mindset whether we realize it or not.
I love watching your videos. Always so relatable, honestly feels like a friend- you really understand what I’m going through and I feel so alone but then I watch your videos and I remember that it isn’t just me. It’s me, it’s you, it’s the people who watch you. You’re making a community of those who are struggling and want to improve their lives, and that’s really great. Keep going
I was gonna say be kind to others but your mom beat me to it. Being kind to everything puts you in a kind mindset. And yea, going though uncomfortable experiences was very life-changing for me too. Like talking to people at school, fixing relationships, or breaking the habit of binge surfing the internet. All of these things made me uncomftable, and by doing them I beat my anxiety.
What your mom said about flowers really got to me 🌸💕 my best tip for being kinder to yourself is to accept that you're not perfect and not everything you do has to be perfect, you just have to give your best and don't worry if your best isn't "good enough" practice makes perfect and you'll get better, I learned this on the process of pushing myself to draw and now I'm so happy of how much I've improved in so little time ☺️ for however takes the time to read this, you can do it, don't worry, everything will turn out great 💞
thank you for your tips! i am really working hard to love myself even more and being kinder to myself as well as to other people! really grateful for founding your yt channel! ☺
thank you mamaRowena! Reminders like that r gold. ive been on rocky waters and not exactly doing good things for myself. To be reminded that i have value as well as those i put value on is without words. Thank you both for the wake up call :)
To the first part you said you should pay attention to what you are saying: i just had my graduation from high school and i got a present from my grandma which is way more valuable then anything else she gave me out of it that day :) so here you go, she wrote me these two 'quotes': Pay attention to your thoughts, because they become your words! Pay attention to your words, because they become your actions! Pay attention to your actions, because they become your habbits! Pay attention to your habbits, because they become your personality! Pay attention to your personality, because that will design your destiny! And the second one which doent connect that tightly to this but i think you guys should hear this: Every human worths just as much As much he worths himself Dont give yourself for a world And you worth more than a world. I wish everybody a great day and a wonderful time with experiencing and practising self growth and development! :) Love you Rowena
There is just SO much respect and admiration that I have for you right now. I really wish there was a good enough way to express it. Very thankful to have your videos
i just took notes from this. your parents are absolutely amazing, i love their look on life and how important loving yourself and just being okay with yourself means to them. things in my life have changed, and i'm getting to the point where i'm ready to move on and catch up with myself. learning to love and respect myself will be apart of my growing ^_^ thanks so much for your videos, and just being awesome!!
oh my goodness, your mum is so sweet and insightful. i loved her little insert of wisdom! love you and your videos as always, keep your chin up and continue to do what makes you happy! :)
you help me to want to be a better person, and i can honestly say that i get so much help from your videos...whenever I feel down I watch one of your videos and immediately feel better! I'm really happy i found your channel and all that it stands for
this just make me cry! seriously, my life have been ... lately. haha, need to start to control my words that i said to myself. thank you so much rowena, this is what i need right now, especially what your mother said. hope to see this kind more in the future!
I love this video! I just finished up a school year, and I’m always so hard on my myself at the end of a semester. None of the work I do is good enough, I’m not productive enough, etc. I think taking time to reflect would really help me, so I’ll keep that in mind for the future. What you mom said about being kind to others is so true. Being kind to others shows us how we want to be treated, so we can learn and treat ourselves with the same compassion
i’ve had a very mentally tiring week dealing with and defending something i’m really passionate about but your (and your mom’s haha) reminder about fighting for what u believe and how that keeps you grounded made me feel good. thanks rowena ☺️
I love those kind of videos, Rowena 🖤 And all that knowledge you're mom gave, that was really inspiring! I already learned so much with you! You're really inspiring and I'm sending you and your folks lots of love ☀️
I loved this video! I've been watching a lot of your but never felt the need to comment. Thank you for being you and sharing with us what it means to be positive and realistic with ourselves. I read the four agreements as well hut gave my copy to a friend and have been missing it but you reminded me that though I wish I could go back and read it myself when I gave it away I was doing one better in sharing the knowledge that I still value and use everyday. Thank you, keep up the good work. 😍
hehe did I just convert a silent viewer? jokes jokes, can relate cause I rarely comment on vids as well. yess to rereading The Four Agreements. it's such a quick and easy read to begin with but so 👊🏻✨ also, you're too sweet Nora 🙈 thank you for taking the time to write, it means a lot! ❤️
Doing our best differs due to the circumstances really hit me. I have high exp for myself as well but I have to realize to not he so hard on myself if I fluctuate slightly from day to day. As long as I'm OVERALL consistent or growing that's good.
I absolutely love this. Ever since I was a kid the time/ numbers 11:10 has followed me everywhere. Just the other day I searched what it means. To see it repeatedly means that you should pay attention to your thoughts and impressions as these are revealing the answers to your prayers and are providing guidance. I just started reading "Light is The New Black" by Rebecca Cambell, and it's all about finding your soul's purpose and how to shine your light. So, by seeing 11:10 on the bottom corner of your video, I saw it as a sign. Since reading the book I told myself I wanted to be happier, and I truly feel that I was meant to watch this. Thank you for making this video. I'll honestly rewatch this once a week or once a month to keep reminding myself the things you mentioned.
I needed to hear this! Currently going through a mini identity crisis and I feel very distracted and cloudy lol. Will definitely try to meditate more to find my inner peace and move on from there :)
I really love your videos. I found your channel in a moment that I am discovering myself, changing some things and trying to love me more. Thank you for helping me to see some things. You really inspire me. ♡
Rowena, you’ve inspired me so much with your great insights, authenticity and desire to work on yourself constantly over the past few years! ❤ Just thought I should say thanks because the little changes you advocated for really made a difference in my life! It’s so fun to watch your earlier videos now, too, because I can see how much your “style” has evolved (I work in media so I know how much energy this takes) but I also marvel at how much wisdom was in there videos from the beginning! After all, the “inside” is what matters! Drinking my daily morning matcha in your name, haha! 🍵
I like another metaphor: Having a ship with a sail. It’s a metaphor for showing that you have control over which direction you take via a vessel that can actually lead you somewhere, rather than an anchor, which just makes you stuck in one position.
Hey lovely. Just wanna say a huge thank you for videos like these. Being kind to myself is something I really struggle with and you’re so sweet and positive it makes me feel like I can get there too :) You’re a beautiful soul and I adore your videos xx Hope you’re doing well 💗
TOTALLY agree with all your points (& Mamabear too!! 😃) Couldn't have said it better. Oh! In a previous vid, you were drinking matcha tea. I figured you're a smart girl so there must be something behind your choice in this weird green tea. 😃 I tried it and now Im completely obsessed with it! This is funny cause I just dont do things because everyone else is doing it, in fact I often go out of my way to do the opposite. And still I chose to try this kermit the frog tea (no frogs were harmed in the making of my tea 😉) simply because I saw you drinking it. You clearly have strong influential powers !!!! 😃😃 Yeh, Id love to see more like this, but honestly I love all your videos. 😃❤❤
Hello, Rowena! :) I'm a new subscriber here and already want to leave a comment. :) When you said that past 2-3 month haven't been the easiest, I was like "yesh!" You're not alone, this is me and every close person I have. For some reason life has decided that it's time to shake things up for many of us, so the pain of growing is very universal. To me it seems a lot of us are in this together and it's serving an higher purpose. Keep shining your light! It is shining even if you don't feel it! And your mum - aww! Greetings from Estonia!
sweetest potato ever Rowena ❤ acknowledging our flaws also let us be kinder to ourself, making us accept that we are imperfect and a work in progress. Thanks a lot Rowena. I got inspired to make my own TH-cam channel to raise self-care awareness, too. ❤❤
Hey it doesn't need to be great and super insp its already all that by just you talking about all these things. This was a much needed reminder thank you
"when you're young it's simple to be happy, when you're old it's happy to be simple" i gotta agree on this ❤️
I know it obviously more complex, but the relationship you've shown with your mother warms my heart completely. Thanks for sharing her words with us
it's very, very complex (as with all relationships with mothers lol) but we make it work 😀💕 thanks for being here Ari!
I'd love a video about it - don't have to be hyper intimate, but finding a balance with my mom is a topic that interests me a lot and I feel like your input could be interesting :) xx
I found you at the right time in my life
thankful to the youtube gods for connecting us ☺️🙏💕
I loved your mom's inserts in the middle!!
it takes a bubble of positivity to recognize other bubbles of positivity 😜 thanks Nomi! isn't she the cutest 🙈❤️
that last point made me tear up... im not sure ive ever heard that before and i think i really needed it. everyones “best” changes from day to day and moment to moment, you cant hold yourself to the same standards as yesterday because today is a new day. thank you so much rowena (and your mom lol) ❤️ please take care and know that were here for you and we believe in you!!
thanks ace 😭❤️ I appreciate you!! if the last point resonated with you, I highly recommend skimming The Four Agreements. I think you'd find it magical as I have
Rowena Tsai i appreciate you too!! and ill definitely be checking it out soon once school lets out. thank you for introducing me to it! ❤️
I take notes while watching your videos because there is so much wisdom in each one, and I want to make sure to remember it all.
Loved it! Your conversation with your mom brought made me cry. My mom passed in 1999 & how I miss all of her advice. Your mom sounds like a kind, loving and very wise woman. Thank you! I need to reread The Four Agreements:)

"Know when to stop, and know when to start".... Thank you. Thank you so much, mamabear, you have no idea how much this one little sentence helped me.
I think it is rather magical, this thing the universe does. I had just put down The Four Agreements after finishing it, and your video appears in discussion of it. What a thoughtful video Rowena!!
I hope on the days when you’re feeling a downward slump that you remember how many lives and people you’ve touched and changed (and continually will) with your videos.

Such a nice quote - it’s simple to be happy when you’re young, and it’s happier to be simple when you’re older :’)
Your mom is so wise! She brought tears to my eyes, we all have to remember not to pour from an empty cup and to value ourselves as well as others.
Let's all share Rowena and get people to release how truly incredible this human is. I'm shook that these don't have hundreds of thousands of view. How?
Great job, Rowena!
i love these sit down and talk type of videos! self love tip: buy a silk pillowcase. stops bacteria from causing acne, helps with split ends, is cool in the summer and feels boujee as f!
oooh! I'll have to look into this. I'm all about that boug af life every once in a while 😂 LOL
I also like the sound of that! Thanks for the tip (my split ends thanks you too!) 😉
I can't even explain the effects that your words have on me. This is exactly what I needed after 14 hours of studying. Thank you for opening my eyes and inspiring me with every video, Rowena!
Mom goals for sure
Rowena! Thank you so much for these videos. You're helping me find myself before I go off to college. This past year has been crazy for me and it's been a huge blessing in my life to have an example of someone who's realized themselves in such a raw way, and moved on to love and improve themselves and their environment. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Always do your best! Everyone's best is different, you can't always be the best, but you can always do your best
Loved your moms comments! What a sweetheart, so wise. You’re so lucky to have her 💜
I have been struggling so much with my depression lately and feeling the urge to do unhealthy things for myself. Your videos have been a hugely important reminder that taking care of myself and being mindful will help me get through this.

You are so lucky to have a mom like yours. Cherish her forever. ❤️
I know 😭❤️ was such a brat to her when I was younger, def going to spend the rest of my life making up for it hehe

Your mothers words bought me so much clarity and peace. “Know when to go and know when to stop”. That was all I needed.
Rowena you’re such a sweet girl. I really appreciate how you put yourself out there with these videos, and I hope you know how much they mean to people. Over the last year or so I was really struggling with mental health and I remember watching one of your videos for the first time while I was in recovery and I was so touched.

Love you and your mom's attitudes. Thank you!

I love watching your videos. Always so relatable, honestly feels like a friend- you really understand what I’m going through and I feel so alone but then I watch your videos and I remember that it isn’t just me. It’s me, it’s you, it’s the people who watch you. You’re making a community of those who are struggling and want to improve their lives, and that’s really great. Keep going
I was gonna say be kind to others but your mom beat me to it. Being kind to everything puts you in a kind mindset.
And yea, going though uncomfortable experiences was very life-changing for me too. Like talking to people at school, fixing relationships, or breaking the habit of binge surfing the internet. All of these things made me uncomftable, and by doing them I beat my anxiety.
aww i love that you included the phone call with your mom. that was so sweet. thanks for a great video
What your mom said about flowers really got to me 🌸💕 my best tip for being kinder to yourself is to accept that you're not perfect and not everything you do has to be perfect, you just have to give your best and don't worry if your best isn't "good enough" practice makes perfect and you'll get better, I learned this on the process of pushing myself to draw and now I'm so happy of how much I've improved in so little time ☺️ for however takes the time to read this, you can do it, don't worry, everything will turn out great 💞
thank you for your tips! i am really working hard to love myself even more and being kinder to myself as well as to other people! really grateful for founding your yt channel! ☺
thank you mamaRowena! Reminders like that r gold. ive been on rocky waters and not exactly doing good things for myself. To be reminded that i have value as well as those i put value on is without words. Thank you both for the wake up call :)
You just pull me out from a really deep hole, thank you very much.
To the first part you said you should pay attention to what you are saying: i just had my graduation from high school and i got a present from my grandma which is way more valuable then anything else she gave me out of it that day :) so here you go, she wrote me these two 'quotes':
Pay attention to your thoughts, because they become your words!
Pay attention to your words, because they become your actions!
Pay attention to your actions, because they become your habbits!
Pay attention to your habbits, because they become your personality!
Pay attention to your personality, because that will design your destiny!
And the second one which doent connect that tightly to this but i think you guys should hear this:
Every human worths just as much
As much he worths himself
Dont give yourself for a world
And you worth more than a world.
I wish everybody a great day and a wonderful time with experiencing and practising self growth and development! :)
Love you Rowena
Your mom is the cutest 😭 also thank you so much for every video that you post, I find a lot of clarity in them.
Loved this short video. Thank you for being honest.
Your mom just melted my heart ! She has so much wisdom to share even when being put on the spot - pretty impressive if you ask me
There is just SO much respect and admiration that I have for you right now. I really wish there was a good enough way to express it. Very thankful to have your videos
So much wisdom from your mom❤️🌸i always struggle with this but it’s important to prioritize my goals and values before comparing to others
i just took notes from this. your parents are absolutely amazing, i love their look on life and how important loving yourself and just being okay with yourself means to them. things in my life have changed, and i'm getting to the point where i'm ready to move on and catch up with myself. learning to love and respect myself will be apart of my growing ^_^ thanks so much for your videos, and just being awesome!!
The smile you smile while listening to your mom... Your eyes light up :3
Your mom’s advice was so beautiful!
She's so pretty and so peaceful. I love watching her videos. Keep going you can do this!!
oh my goodness, your mum is so sweet and insightful. i loved her little insert of wisdom! love you and your videos as always, keep your chin up and continue to do what makes you happy! :)
Your long-sleeved top looks really professional, like you're about to open your own fancy art gallery... sorry for the random comment
not at all! don't be sorry this is such a lovely comment, thank you Jeatti! ☺️
you help me to want to be a better person, and i can honestly say that i get so much help from your videos...whenever I feel down I watch one of your videos and immediately feel better! I'm really happy i found your channel and all that it stands for

this just make me cry! seriously, my life have been ... lately. haha, need to start to control my words that i said to myself. thank you so much rowena, this is what i need right now, especially what your mother said. hope to see this kind more in the future!
Please do
more of these vídeos! I really enjoy learning like this with you :)
Sending love to you too
So sweet!!! Your mom and dad are very wise!! I send a hug from your new Colombian subscriber!!! Thanks
I love this video! I just finished up a school year, and I’m always so hard on my myself at the end of a semester. None of the work I do is good enough, I’m not productive enough, etc. I think taking time to reflect would really help me, so I’ll keep that in mind for the future. What you mom said about being kind to others is so true. Being kind to others shows us how we want to be treated, so we can learn and treat ourselves with the same compassion
Thanks Mamabear 😗😗 also you're great Ro
isn't mamabear the cutest. thanks mojipin! 💕
i’ve had a very mentally tiring week dealing with and defending something i’m really passionate about but your (and your mom’s haha) reminder about fighting for what u believe and how that keeps you grounded made me feel good. thanks rowena ☺️
I love this so much! It made me realize how such simple things can make you life better and more positive. Thank you Rowena 😙💜
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤️
I love those kind of videos, Rowena 🖤 And all that knowledge you're mom gave, that was really inspiring! I already learned so much with you! You're really inspiring and I'm sending you and your folks lots of love ☀️
i love you, your aura, your everything (+ your mom) you guys have helped me today. thanks for changing my life; one video at a time, rowena 🌻
Funny enough how I’ve recently been finding self love videos so this game just in time. Thank you so much!!
I loved this video! I've been watching a lot of your but never felt the need to comment. Thank you for being you and sharing with us what it means to be positive and realistic with ourselves. I read the four agreements as well hut gave my copy to a friend and have been missing it but you reminded me that though I wish I could go back and read it myself when I gave it away I was doing one better in sharing the knowledge that I still value and use everyday. Thank you, keep up the good work. 😍
hehe did I just convert a silent viewer? jokes jokes, can relate cause I rarely comment on vids as well. yess to rereading The Four Agreements. it's such a quick and easy read to begin with but so 👊🏻✨ also, you're too sweet Nora 🙈 thank you for taking the time to write, it means a lot! ❤️
Doing our best differs due to the circumstances really hit me. I have high exp for myself as well but I have to realize to not he so hard on myself if I fluctuate slightly from day to day. As long as I'm OVERALL consistent or growing that's good.
I absolutely love this. Ever since I was a kid the time/ numbers 11:10 has followed me everywhere. Just the other day I searched what it means. To see it repeatedly means that you should pay attention to your thoughts and impressions as these are revealing the answers to your prayers and are providing guidance. I just started reading "Light is The New Black" by Rebecca Cambell, and it's all about finding your soul's purpose and how to shine your light. So, by seeing 11:10 on the bottom corner of your video, I saw it as a sign. Since reading the book I told myself I wanted to be happier, and I truly feel that I was meant to watch this. Thank you for making this video. I'll honestly rewatch this once a week or once a month to keep reminding myself the things you mentioned.
I needed to hear this! Currently going through a mini identity crisis and I feel very distracted and cloudy lol. Will definitely try to meditate more to find my inner peace and move on from there :)
your mom is so sweet!!!! thank you for this video
You're so adorable & helpful. Your personality shines through in this video like I haven't seen before, you should definitely do more x
You look amazing and are glowing in this video! I love your top. Thank you for all your helpful advice Rowena!
I really love your videos. I found your channel in a moment that I am discovering myself, changing some things and trying to love me more. Thank you for helping me to see some things. You really inspire me. ♡
I definitely found your channel for a reason. So thankful! Your outlook is inspiring
Your mom reminds me of my mom! So sweet!
This is what I needed today. Thank you so much! You are awesome! Please make more like thisssss!
You're so wonderful 💕 and your mom is so wise!
Rowena, you’ve inspired me so much with your great insights, authenticity and desire to work on yourself constantly over the past few years! ❤ Just thought I should say thanks because the little changes you advocated for really made a difference in my life! It’s so fun to watch your earlier videos now, too, because I can see how much your “style” has evolved (I work in media so I know how much energy this takes) but I also marvel at how much wisdom was in there videos from the beginning! After all, the “inside” is what matters! Drinking my daily morning matcha in your name, haha! 🍵
Great inspirational video and good advice. Love your shirt aswell.
I like another metaphor: Having a ship with a sail. It’s a metaphor for showing that you have control over which direction you take via a vessel that can actually lead you somewhere, rather than an anchor, which just makes you stuck in one position.
Thank you for this 💜💜💜💜
Hey lovely. Just wanna say a huge thank you for videos like these. Being kind to myself is something I really struggle with and you’re so sweet and positive it makes me feel like I can get there too :) You’re a beautiful soul and I adore your videos xx Hope you’re doing well 💗
This video honestly felt like a tasty and calming smoothie 😊
Thank you for this reminder of wisdom! 💜
Thumbs up for mama Tsai's advice, wise and highly inspirational
Please make more. I love you. You keep me sane 😍
Your Mom is sooo awesome!!!
so many takeaways from this video
TOTALLY agree with all your points (& Mamabear too!! 😃) Couldn't have said it better.
Oh! In a previous vid, you were drinking matcha tea. I figured you're a smart girl so there must be something behind your choice in this weird green tea. 😃 I tried it and now Im completely obsessed with it! This is funny cause I just dont do things because everyone else is doing it, in fact I often go out of my way to do the opposite. And still I chose to try this kermit the frog tea (no frogs were harmed in the making of my tea 😉) simply because I saw you drinking it. You clearly have strong influential powers !!!! 😃😃
Yeh, Id love to see more like this, but honestly I love all your videos. 😃❤❤
Hello, Rowena! :) I'm a new subscriber here and already want to leave a comment. :) When you said that past 2-3 month haven't been the easiest, I was like "yesh!" You're not alone, this is me and every close person I have. For some reason life has decided that it's time to shake things up for many of us, so the pain of growing is very universal. To me it seems a lot of us are in this together and it's serving an higher purpose. Keep shining your light! It is shining even if you don't feel it! And your mum - aww! Greetings from Estonia!
needed this so much right now. A million thank you's
sweetest potato ever Rowena ❤
acknowledging our flaws also let us be kinder to ourself, making us accept that we are imperfect and a work in progress. Thanks a lot Rowena. I got inspired to make my own TH-cam channel to raise self-care awareness, too. ❤❤
Your channel is pretty amazing and it's so nice to listen to. Thanks for making these videos :) It's very much appreciated
I love love these videos! I am not very close to my mother, so hearing her advice feels to warm and motherly :)
Hey it doesn't need to be great and super insp its already all that by just you talking about all these things. This was a much needed reminder thank you
