Anxiety is the misuse of creativity. And it's okay to not be okay. Anxiety is here to protect you. To give you energy. To point you to what you care about. This too, shall pass, even if it passes like a kidney stone. 🙃 May your worries wash away and you find pockets of peace throughout your day 💗 Dr. Liz
I think Rowena reading children's stories to us should be more of a regular thing. I like that diving board metaphor. There's actually a philosopher who said that he learned to swim free by jumping into uncertainty from a diving board when he was a child. This he called primal trust.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how original and thoughtful the concept of this video is? I loved seeing sooo many responses from different people and how you actually took to heart all of the suggestions!
As a fan who's been following you for years and accidentally ran into you one day in the subway in NYC (if you still remembered haha), I'm SO happy for you when you were talking to your "friend", both of you sound so sweet!! And the talk with your mom was so lovely too!! Thank you so much for making awesome content and always be a great role model for me personally and so many others out there. 加油！
I will be sincere, Rowena. I've been following you for a while now, and it's been a few months that I've felt that your content was, in a sense, too "controlled", but lately, and especially in this video that is more like a vlog, you feel so relaxed, and this format suits you so well, I love it! Sending you love, A fellow shark.
I have one role model in my life and it's Rowena Tsai. She's so so important to me and I relate to her on an unbelievable level sometimes. She helps me so much. I've been following her for some time (I think for a year and a half now) but only this summer and fall I actually started paying so much more attention to everything that she says and does and rewatched her older videos with the new vision that I have now. There are many more youtubers that have a somewhat similar brand, but my beliefs and systems match up to hers the best, she also feels the most honest to me. I'm grateful to her for the knowledge and experience that she gives. I'm happy that I know her at times like these and I'm happy seeing the progress both in her life and mine. I wish nothing but the best to her. Thank you, Rowena, for who you are and what you do and as always with love, from one of your sweetest potatoes 💛
Yes love all of these suggestions ❤ honestly I really notice when I don't get time to do my self care routine on the weekends, especially in 2020. Recently I've been feeling I need to revamp it a bit bc I just started a new job and my brain is like MUSH and I'm so drained i really need the time to recharge. Coincidentally, I was reading through some old journals and found the original routine (2014!): - start the day with a lie in - journal/read - work out - followed by the pamper shower (I.e. masks, shave everywhere, etc.) - I put down that I could eat WHATEVER I wanted as long as it was soul food basically - make time to call my fam, - do my nails, - curl my hair if I was vibing it, - tidy my space - write/journal/create/binge a show - end the evening with meditation and yoga and clean sheets. Recently out of all of that, I've been doing the shower bc that's what NEEDs doing. I've copied the old routine into my current journal and I'm trying to follow it as best as I can. I've also been sleeping a lot - what's the point of working from home if I can't sleep enough? I've been trying to keep in mind I will never get an opportunity like this again, yes I have to work when I want to die from no sleep, but at least I can do it in my PJs and I can nap on my lunch break. Idk it's weirdly comforting thinking at least I don't have to drag myself into an office
Thank you so much for always putting out videos like this Rowena 💕 it really helps a lot of people ✨love that you included us in this video , it really means a lot ✨
This was a video with some good tips! When you actually apply them - really get into it, letting it take the time needed and being mindful in all different sensations of the actions - the benefits are huge! This will help alot of people ❤
In this sensory overload of a year, silence is something I have been increasingly practicing more of simply because I need it, and I don't need to fill my life up with noise, music, podcasts, or someone else's thoughts/opinions just to battle loneliness. There is healing in solitude and silence. That way, I get to consciously and intentionally bring noise back into my life when I'm reading to receive someone else, like in this video. What we take in is far more valuable that way.
Beautifully said! Sometimes I play happy music on youtube on the days when I’m feeling lonely, only to end up feeling even more miserable. Now I find sitting with myself in silence (meditating, journaling or private-vlogging) helps way more with anxiety/loneliness. After all, we are our own best friend.
The cooking ideas were curious because as much as I like cooking I feel like whenever I feel down that's the last thing I want to do, it requires a level of investment that i'm not willing to give. This was a nice video!
Thank you Rowena I think we all needed something to slow us down (I did anyway!). Also I wanted to let you know I hung a post-it note on the wall with "Done is better than perfect" written on it and I think it's been helping a lot. always love ya byee
Ahhhh just what the doctor ordered on my sleepy Saturday! Love the jazz you chose for this vid, plus all the awesome suggestions from your viewers! So precious 😭 Definitely living in my pajama set today and taking things slow. Much love Ro from the PNW 🌿
Thank you for all the tips! Lately my anxiety has been acting up so I'll definitely use these tips in my days :) I took the best shower yesterday and it was so refreshing!
Even just 5 minutes can help give you a breather. There's a channel I'm subscribed to called Leeor Alexandria and she's been doing a "meditate with me" challenge for every day in November. I haven't watched/listened to them but I generally like her channel.
Mediation Trick ~ count your breaths. In for 4 seconds, hold for 2 & out for 6 seconds. The purpose of meditation is to shut off the subconscious mind & TAP into your Conscious GOD mind. Tame your Racing Mind. MIRACLES WILL APPEAR IN YOUR LIFE IMMEDIATELY 🙌✨🧚🏼♂️
thank you so much for this Rowenaaa and I am praying for you 🌿💚 You've never failed to fill in my tank of wisdom with all of your goodie great contents 🍀
Hi ~ Blessings & Love to you Friend. We are ALL ONE 🧚🏼♂️ You are Special & Deserve all this World has to offer 🙌 GRATITUDE IS THE FASTEST WAY TO SUCCESS. If you have Nothing, thank God for your breath ✨
This is exactly what I needed and what I've been feeling lately!! 🙏🙏💕💕 I actually did a similar thing where I just took the evening off last night to relax and practice self care! But I absolutely love this idea of how you took your subscribers suggestions 💖🙏🙏 lovely!
Ur life is how i want to live in a few years Ro!!! Such an inspiration!!! Ilysm!!! U should get a fur friend ( a kitty or a puppy) if u feel lonely in these time!!! FUR FRIENDS ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

"that's kinda gross... So let me wash that real quick" 😂😂 omg ME TOO!! AHAHAHA realities of a UA-camr. 🙈 I totally did the same thing when I filmed my self care routine last night!
I always have the hardest time being “present” bc I have a dissociative disorder. If anyone had tips for mindfulness whithout the whole being present thing bc most days I am completely disconnected from reality that would be wonderful...

You're so luckyyyy!!
Your timing is out of this world 😪💖💖
I think we all needed this
Right?!?! Been totally feeling the stress lately 🙏💕 I actually just took a pause last night myself to have an evening full of self care!
@@itsfaithtime Yep! It's good to take a timeout sometimes
"Have you made some progress?" I love that convo! 😆❤
This is such a great take on a self-care day, it’s so interesting to hear the sheer number of people that like to meditate etc!!
I will be sincere, Rowena. I've been following you for a while now, and it's been a few months that I've felt that your content was, in a sense, too "controlled", but lately, and especially in this video that is more like a vlog, you feel so relaxed, and this format suits you so well, I love it!

"Doing your best looks different every day" -- Thank you 😭❤
Does everyone do a dance when they’re eating something they love? I know I do 😂
Hahaha yess! Totally 😍😍 a little shoulder dance every time 💖💖
It's the victory dance.
Yeah me too...I usually move my body in a wave with music playing in my head
Who doesn't? :D
Me. Hahhahaha
Thank you for a thoughtfully done video on self-care and thanks to all your sweetest potatoes for their inspiration!
Honestly, just watching videos like these feels like some kind of self-care, it gives me emotional r\and mental regeneration
Exactly how I feel! 😍 Just watching this is so relaxing
*Yessss who else needed this?*
I immediately started wheezing when 2020 was called "The gift that keeps on giving".
i love your appartmenttt goalss

This is perfect I just started reading The Anxiety Journal by Corinne Sweet
This was very grounding. Your videos are always so comforting!!!
Love you, Rowena ❤️😘 Your videos always refreshes me. Take care always! And also to fellow subscribers of Rowena. Huugs.

Thank you for sharing your self care day, we all need a break every once in a while. I recently got into meditation and really love it a lot!
thank you rowena. your videos come when i need them the most
I will definitely be trying some of these suggestions! Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it
Your videos are so calming I could literally listen to you for hours🥺❤️❤️
The cooking ideas were curious because as much as I like cooking I feel like whenever I feel down that's the last thing I want to do, it requires a level of investment that i'm not willing to give. This was a nice video!
Awww I feel ya! I had a self care day yesterday too and ended up ordering take out for exactly that reason! 🙏💕💕
Thank you Rowena I think we all needed something to slow us down (I did anyway!). Also I wanted to let you know I hung a post-it note on the wall with "Done is better than perfect" written on it and I think it's been helping a lot. always love ya byee
This was so calming to watch and I love your suggestions for self care. I love how simple the quesadilla looks but so delicious!
I totally agree!! I felt like watching this video in itself was very relaxing and calming 😝😝 self care through the video 😍😂
I wish I had found your channel sooner, thank you for such a great video 😭
Ahhhh just what the doctor ordered on my sleepy Saturday! Love the jazz you chose for this vid, plus all the awesome suggestions from your viewers! So precious 😭 Definitely living in my pajama set today and taking things slow. Much love Ro from the PNW 🌿
Thank you for all the tips! Lately my anxiety has been acting up so I'll definitely use these tips in my days :) I took the best shower yesterday and it was so refreshing!
I've only done meditation once then i just stoppped overall. Maybe i should give it a month and see if it does anything.
It’s a looooong process, but you will know that it’s working for you. :) Try The Daily Meditation on Spotify too
Oh yes! Stay with it if only for 5 or 10 minutes a day. Its AMAZING. Guided meditation is so much easier than silent. Best of luck. 😊
Yess! Even if it doesn't work for you, you know that you at least tried it for a month! That's probably 30 days longer than most people ;)
