"In 2020 I want to be less driven by fear and more driven by faith." -Rowena.
Amen to that. Side note: whenever there are exterior shots of New York I keep waiting for Spidey to make a cameo by swinging through the frame. xD
Lol I read your comment right before she said this
This is also what I want for 2020, at the end of last year/early this year I came to the realisation that all of my actions in the past were driven purely by fear, and I am tired of being fearful of everything in my life. Let's work hard in 2020 to not let fear consume our lives and let us be guided by faith instead :)
I feel like there should be some “sweetest potato” merch. Maybe some comfy hoodies and oversized t-shirts to potato in 🥔🍠
When i feel less productive i just watch your videos. It makes me remember to stay focus and keep going.
Yeah and this is soo positively addictive!
Ive been feeling down these past few days, thinking about how my plans didnt work out as what i want, me being a failure to do anything, and realizing that whatever things i did, no matter how hard i work, i never gonna achieve this one of my youth goals in life. Ive tried my best to ignore those feelings and live in present, but somehow it's hard. I tried to seek some helps from other people, but it doesnt work like what i expected, and it bcm more worse than before. and the main problem isnt from other people, but myself. however, this morning, i think i can breathe a little bit after watching your video. it somehow shows me the light of life, and the things that i never realized it before. I want to thank you a lot for that, wishing you and whoever watching your videos, to have a good day and abundance of happiness in life.
Stay positive! Feeling overwhelmed is common in today's society. Sometimes we just need to take a breather to find our footing again!
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO EATS TOAST WITH HONEY AND BUTTER AND DOES NOT THINK IT’S GROSS,3:08 😆😆😆😆
That's so good!!! They have whipped butter with honey mixed in at Souplantation and it's heaven 😍
I think toast with butter on it is normal XD i thought i was the weird one eating plain bread witg honey. Sometimes i crave for honey on bread jdjdjd
That's... pretty normal. Restaurants even serve honey-butter bread by the basket full.
Its considered gross??? Honey butter is my fave thing ever
I just got my blood drawn to test for horrible allergies I’ve been having to my apartment. I decided to listen to my body and go have my favourite meatball panino before I have to head to work. This video was very timely, I’m relaxing at the Italian deli enjoying my food and absorbing your wisdom. I got a lot done at school today, I did something I was dreading for the sake of my health, I deserve it!
Focus on what you can change versus what you can't. So true. I can't change the fact that I still need to work to support myself, at least for the next few years. Instead of feeling down, I should explore different things during my personal time and live more enthusiastically.
Working driven by faith and not fear... LOVE that. Will try to implement that in my life from now on. Thank you
I feel like I need to write down every single thing you said in this video . Thank you 🙏🏼
Also, congrats on getting sponsored by coach. What a dream!!
Your videos always help me keep calm and get back to work with a fresh mind and happy heart. Thank you, Rowena!
I love every single word in this video. It really means A LOT. Thank you, Rowena!
We’re saved by grace, through faith... thank you for you!
I look forward to your videos! Driven by faith, not fear...I second that. 😘💕🙌🏾
perfect thing to watch today. i woke up early but feel late (was trying to get into the office as early as possible) and was frozen with anxiousness and overwhelm... remembered i had meant to watch this video and needed a way to get unfrozen. i'm still going to get there almost an hour early, but because of your video i realize its not that necessary. I can get to work just on time like the rest of the office. the world wont crumble if i do. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.
@Noe, I also have a channel and I live in Poland. I try to live a mindful life.
Welcome over to my channel for some peace and simplicity!!
I just love it when she calls us “sweetest potatoes” ❤️❤️❤️
I have also been practicing not stressing over small things and I have to agree with you its changed me for the better lol not to be dramatic but because right now im in art classes my over perfectionist self usually comes over but ive been noticing myself letting go more and more on my art and letting it heal me instead of crippling me has been so powerful💓 love this love your videos, and keep doing you Rowena🤗
p.s. also random but one of my faves this year has been using an app called "Tide" its a free download and it works as an alarm clock, study timer, and also offers meditation on there and i gotta say its also aesthetic and has a lot of calming sounds and music so reccomend if your finding yourself needing to destress i love that day by day they show a pretty image and quote as well, if your someone that likes reading quotes for some uplifting!!
I understand the art school struggle. I started college for animation a few months ago and it's been really difficult to let go of perfection. I've had too many late assignments already simply because I procrastinate starting in fear of failing, oh the irony. In the wise words of my 3D animation instructor, "don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough".
You are my meditation in the morning 😍😍 thank you for all your help Rowena! I love your videos so much hun!
Love this! Sometimes I think we just forget about how to rewind, stop and focus on the little things. But like you said, it's simple things that we can do to just look after ourselves (especially mental self care). We don't realise how consumed we become by all the distractions that sometimes we become afraid to be alone with our thoughts. And when that time happens, we don't know what to do with our thoughts, maybe because they're raw and ask us to question things we've been avoiding (by distracting ourselves with daily life).
You must know that ur smile always make me full of energy
Your videos have inspired me so much and helped me so much in my battle with depression and my not so great relationship with food. I recently purchased Atomic Habits because of your videos and have started reading it! Thank you for your unique view on life and all the good vibes :)
Staying positive, making changes, being productive are all EASY with two things: 1) friends, and 2) a job you're passionate about. That's it, that's all the secrets there are.
And here im procrastinating what to study so i can do the job im passionate abt. Idk everything is interesting but what is what really suits me😔sigh
@@yominix Been there! I find everything interesting, too, and I like learning about it all. I was most interested in computers, so I went to school for Computer Science. It was interesting, but I absolutely hate doing the work. So my advice to you is not to think about what interests you the most, but what you actually enjoy doing or what kind of change you'd like to make in the world.
Your voice is so soothing ❤️ plus your videos are very aesthetically pleasing.
ah I needed this. thank you rowena for the wholesome content
Congrats on the Coach sponsorship. That's awesome!
Yessssssss was looking on UA-cam before I go to sleep and you popped up😍 you always give me positive vibes
Work by faith not by fear💖 Thank you🥺💖
I dont know the time zone you guys are in but being in Australia and getting to listen to this in the morning before starting the day is really calming and helps me be that little bit thoughtful towards how I handle today. Thank you Rowena!🙌😊
I love how you talk to my mind touching my heart.
Thanks dear!
Im so grateful I found your channel. Your videos are so inspiring to me. I have been in a funk and im dealing with a lot of pressures right now, but you have helped me feel like even though its hard, I CAN handle it, and I dont feel so hopeless and defeated. I feel like I can make things happen for myself if I put the work in :) I cant wait to see how I grow from here. Also I ordered a whole bunch of books as per your recommendations lol I cant wait to go through them all
this being the first video i watch all day MAKES MY DAY i love you cutest potat
I love her humor. It always pops out unexpectedly.
your voice is so calming! i love your videos
i relate so much to the frequent fringe-in-the-wind readjustment clips
The past month definitely feels like it has disappeared from beneath me and has left me stressing a lot about things that should be future worries (and generally not being fully present with people because of this).
I’m feeling the exact same way! It definitely leaves you in a panic when you feel like a whole month just rushed passed you, especially for me as a law student because it means that finals are one month closer 🤦🏼♀️ I definitely have to work on being more present and try to slow things down this next month and I hope you can too 💕
@@madisonhawk2465 Definitely the same! As an English student, I've got essays with deadlines that feel like they're around the corner that are longer than we've ever had to write before now. Trying to relax and take them in chunks at a time! Hopefully you've got plenty of time to relax and spend time with loved ones between studying as well!
I loved the video, it made my soul calm and safe and helped me learn some new things, thank you Rowena 🤗😌💙
I cried at the end... I really needed this video today!! Thank you. 💖
Aww big hug x
I’ve been going through a lot lately because of tough situations and how I choose to react to them. This is definitely the video that I needed to watch right now. Channeling positive energy this year!! Thank you, Rowena💖
first vid from this channel i watched but i already know it won't be the last lol, it was so motivating and i need more of this content in my life tbh
It was exactly what I needed, I've been struggling so much lately . You are amazing ♥️
Thank you for this calm and peaceful time. I consider your video now as a chilling session where I just listen to you casually and chill both my mental and physical self. You're still sparkling a very positive and restful vibe Rowena. I wish you well too, our kind and lovely girl.
starting the weekend by watching this, best choice ever. Thank you Rowena
Dear Rowena this was so beautiful and super inspiring❤ i was feeling a bit down & worried and this comforted me so thank you so much 💕
Thank you so much for this video! Self care is extremely important. I also take walks with a coworker after lunch. It's been amazing for our health, being present, bonding and reducing stress.
Your videos are always so inspiring. What a unique and genuine positive energy, it is incredibly refreshing and rare to see on UA-cam. It is touching and inspiring as well, to see how you treat your work colleagues/employees. They are truly extremely lucky to have you as a role model and mentor. Well done Rowena, keep spreading this amazing energy and inspiring us, we are grateful to have you:) Have an amazing weekend!
as always, i absolutely loved this video ♥ your whole channel just brings me so much joy and inspiration and really helps me to grow. thank u ♥
Rowena, you motivate me so much! Thank you ❤️
You're so precious, Rowena 🥺 Thank you for the video, hope you're having an excellent weekend!
Love this so much ❤️
Thank you for de advice. Ill try to remember some of the things you said and try to apply it to my life!
Love your videos so much Row, I am stunned by the view of yours! WOW.
I love your energy and joy ♥️ so beautiful inside and out ❤
@blue bird atalya. I also have a channel and I live in Poland. I try to live a mindful life.
Welcome over to my channel!!
you inspire me to live my life, a little better , each day . Love you Rowena ,❤
Great video as always Rowena, you’re so wise 😊❤️ I’m trying to be less driven by fear too, as I find that my fears cause me so much anxiety that I don’t want to do anything. I’m almost paralysed by it. But then I tell myself that the bigger fear is not going for what I want (although I am still trying to figure that part out) and that I’d regret not doing something than I would doing it. This is what I am striving to do for 2020 and although I have bit a few snags the last couple of months, I’m still fighting forward. Rowena, you and your videos are a big inspiration to me and I always turn to them when I need the help. Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I was feeling unstable (anxious, too hyper on sugar) and you calmed me.
Thank you 💓
just by watching your videos when I feel worthless, makes me feel less stress and feel that I'm good enough. you're my inspiration
Haha, I'm actually on time this time. Rowena is so helpful and her videos just makes life somewhat easier and happier.
I've been feeling highly stressed and upset lately. Your videos finally
gave me a chance to reflect on my unhealty routines and to change my life for
the better. So, from my heart, thank you. I just really wanna hug you now! Lots of love from Italy!
Roweeeennnaaaaaa!!!!! Adore your content!!! You're an inspiration to live a life of peace and productivity!!!
I love jow your aesthetic is so bright and white. Im trying to convert to a more simple and clean lifestyle. By the end of this year i hope to accomplish my goals into transforming my life into something beautiful and full of growth! Love you 💕 stay safe!
your videos are always so relaxing! They start my mornings on the right foot :)
Thank you so much for such a lovely video.
Sending you love and blessings
Cucki xxx
Grateful for your videos. ❤️❤️❤️ Love you lots Ro 😘
I wish you'd make this form of self-improvement genre into podcasts, It would be nice on a daily commute and I started taking notes while watching your videos
I just found your channel while im trying to love myself more and to not pushing myself too hard 😭 your videos are calming and got me realize how the process is more important than the goals(being ambitious)
Thank you so much rowena❤
@Yeonmi Choi, I also try not to push myself to hard I have a channel and I live in Poland. I try to live a mindful life.
Welcome over to my channel!!
Beautiful video my dear, it is so nice to hear your tips! It is so crucial to let go of your negative thoughts and be aware of them rather than IN them. Also staying in the moment helps so much and remaining grateful! :)
This was very helpful. Thank you, Rowena😊
so happy i discovered your channel!
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your wisdom in such an aesthetically pleasing video, Rowena. You're a champ!
thank you so much rowena, it really helps
@Annabelle I also have a channel and I live in Poland. I try to live a mindful life.
Welcome over to my channel and peace and simplicity!!
Love your positivity 😀 , inspiring words 😇
Wow I’m early, haven’t been having a good week but this helped! Have a great week!!!
Inspiring as always. Thank you!
extremely inspirational thank you!
Could watch your videos all day
You shared many vital points and I can so relate. Great content thank you for this video.
Thank you for explanations too 🤗😄🙂
I really look forward to your videos each week because they always calm me down and remind me to stay grounded and not go into whole panick-y mode because i didn’t do as much as i wanted/“have” to, but obviously it’s not the end of the world if i don’t get those things done this week so thank you, thank you, for constantly being my source of calmness and peace. Here’s to appreciating the small things that we get done in a day-to-day basis and being more present :) Just like what you said, less rushing from point A to point B, more slowing down and enjoying the ride. I love you a lot Ro
You are an inspiration ❤️
I would love to have a wallpaper with “less driven by fear, more driven by faith”
Beautiful, inspiring video!
VOIIIICEEEEE HUG💜💜💜
I just wanted to say thank you:) you are wonderful

"Work less live more" this coat I need to remember all the time...
Your videos always inspire me to get my sh!t together and that there’s always room for self-improvement. 💕
Two questions!
~ What brand is your kettle at 0:40 ?
~ And what did you pour into your cup at 0:50? Is it almond or oat milk? Would love to try and make this drink at home ☺️
I can't guarantee I'm right, but I'm pretty sure it's oat milk 🙂
Pranavi Rohit thank you! ☺️ I figured it was oat but wanted to be sure.
💛💛
AH CONGRATS ON THAT COACH SPONSOR!!!
“Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is the way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find the wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples and pears.
Show them how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself.”
- The Parent's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents
