- Today we're back with another 7 mental habits that have helped me stay sane, calm, and positive despite the countless and wildly unpredictable adversities life oh-so-generously throws our way. 🌿 No matter how you're doing or what you're going through, I hope you remember this quote in the days and weeks to come, "As the saying goes, 'No mud, no lotus.' The most beautiful flower grows out of the mud. Our worst moments can be the seeds of our best moments. They have an amazing power to transform us.” 🌸

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.
I recently realised this and although it is difficult to accept its so liberating!! Need to watch this show ☺️
ROWEINAAAA WATCH MIDNIGHT GOSPEL ITS AMAZINGGGGG AND SO ON BRAND FOR U
@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
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 😊
My day officially got better
same
I know I feel so zen now
Same! 😊
Same ❤️
Yes, so much better ✨
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!
ava yassss. ive thought about it too. like yeah i want a podcast but i also want to see rowena and her apartment and minimalist designs on my screen!!!
@@kishly watching her tidying up her space makes me feel like everything will be okay!
1 Don't allow your circumstances to define u -control what u can, let go of what u can't
No matter what life throws at u, don't crumble just keep going
2 U need to inhale in order to exhale
Take time to inhale
3 Be ur own biggest cheerleader💕💕
Regardless of the rain or shine. Be kind and gentle
4 Manage dichotomous thinking
5 Embrace alone time -inorder to find ur truest version and ur truest purpose
6 Put one foot in front of other- take daily disciplined steps even when u don't feel like it. Push urself. Have a work ethic
7 Pursue meaning over happiness
Thanks for the lovely video💜💜
Your bangs are adorable ❤️❤️
Keep improving your mind and take care of you
This video came at a perfect time. Thanks ma friend!!!😘😘😘🥰
This is a very timely video! I feel like I'm about to go insane stuck inside my house and i'm an INTROVERT! (Mostly because i'm stuck in my head more often now) 🥺
Man i relate. But we can do it! We'll get through this! ^^
Elodie Pollock yes!! 💕
@@krisydays Sending lots of love and energy to you and everyone who needs it! 💕
@@elodiepollock7326, I need it I feel like I can't be done anything!
Yeah I can relate to u...Recently I have been going thru many panic attacks and I wasn't able to keep myself sane...It was just not working but then as in the video it says "bad things end" so in that hope kept going...Now I feel much better...maybe not forever but atleast I will have the strength to face it..Everything happens for a Greater Cause...We have a purpose within..!
May God bless u❤
"pursue meaning over happiness" cos feelings are fleeting spoke so much to me. thank you for this timely video :)
“ let’s not sell ourselves short and surrender our identities to external conditions”
You’re the friend that everyone needs 😭💖
literally!!
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. ♥️
Beautiful 🤭💕🌸🙏
I NEVER don't need a new video of yours. Perfect to start my day
Find myself hugging the computer at the end of the video. Love your positivity and your warm, sensitive 'human' side ! Thanks for sharing so much with us potatoes 😘
Wow after two months of quarantaine, I FELT that hug. Thank u so much.
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.
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
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 :)
You read stories PERFECTLY for children. I feel like I'm in a bed and you're telling me a bedtime story.
This video is just perfect timing...I've been feeling very overwhelmed with everything the past weeks...
So this video just helped me see the whole big picture again! Thank you Rowena❤
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.
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
1. Dont allow your circumstances to define you
2. You need to inhale to exhale

6. Put one foot in front of the other
7. Pursue meaning > happiness
I love your vids btw🥺❤️✨ really help me to deal with my mind❤️❤️❤️
I feel your voice calms and soothes me more than meditation!! ♥️
Nothing is more calming on a bad day than the soft familiar voice, "Hello Sweetest Potatoes..."
That first quote literally sparked a breakthrough of something that was weighing on my mind. Thank you so much, I love your channel!
You make me feel calm, content, happy even. Like I have a best friend. Thank you, you will never know how much it means to me.
I needed this video today! I searched “how to get out of a funk” and found one of your old videos and then stalked your page and watched this video. Feeling bleh and down today and not sure why, but this helped me. Thank you!! Now I’m going to binge the rest of your videos 😁
I JUST needed this video! it’s so hard to stay calm and positive during these times, but this video was so informative and helpful! honestly you could talk about anything and I would here within seconds! we have to stan
This video is everything! I'll definitely be re-watching when I feel at my lowest.
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 ❤🥺
Keep improving your mind and take care of you
You're so genuine and have such a chill and smooth vibe that watching this automatically made my day
this video was so lovely! Honestly have been watching a lot of videos at the moment ,,, i feel like they are perfect for times like this
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!!
i keep watching this over and over again. It gave me alot of clarity of things i already knew but never realized. thank you so much rowena
I love you so much. Most of the times i feel down and hopeless, i just feel that i do not have enough energy to go throught the day, but then i watch one of your videos and i smile a little. thank you so much for being just you, a real person with a kind and beautiful heart
i absolutely love her hugs at the end
Your sharing on “walking the middle path” really made me feel better. Thanks for sharing!
I always take notes of everything you talk about in your videos. You're amazing.
You are like a big sister to me . 🥺❤️ You taught me a lot of things that I needed to hear in order to change my life. I’m so grateful that I have found your channel. It’s life changing ❤️ Thank you for helping me everyday ..
Thank you so much Rowena for this. It came at a perfect time where I feel at my lowest and watching how optimistic you are with life reminds me to stay on track as I catch myself slipping
i’ve been having a hard time with this whole covid situation thus the quarantining process and i’m so happy to see you posting this. thanks for this - again - great piece of work ! you are truly inspiring and i’m really grateful to youtube’s recommandations for having me discover your channel almost a year ago ! wishing you all the best and sending you a lot of love !
You are speaking my soul's language, you are so appreciated Rowena. Voice hugs!!!!!
This video is just so calming!
Wanted to tell you that you are so beautiful, inside and out and you have inspired me so much with your channel and wisdom.
Thank you❤😁
Watching your videos is often the highlight of my day! Especially lately, your videos have been exactly what I have needed to keep pushing forward. You have also inspired me to start journaling. Thanks for being you and doing all that you do!
you've created a beautiful community & I really appreciate how you stand up for what's right (sometimes in more subtle ways) in your videos!!
Ro, your voice soothes my soul.
I can't tell you enough how good you make me feel through your videos! Thank you for being yourself and encouraging everyone, thank you thank you💕
had a breakdown last night. this video came this morning. thank u for being there for us rowena!
Alone time in nature is especially meditative. And I had the same college experience.. I feel like it's a growth moment. Can't always instantly make the best of it, but ultimately all is as it should be if you are happy
I appreciate the amounts of effort typing the whole thing in the description box. Plus, I just literally downloaded now the books you recommended from the last 7 habits video. Thank you for always being an inspiration. Stay safe 💜
this video just made me wanna cry happy tears. I've learned a lot from this video. Thank you, Rowena! You're such a beautiful soul.
rowena’s comment sections on every videos of her are truly the best one all over this app ! so many great and awe-inspiring people ! ✨🤍
in this trying and difficult times, i think to be able to grow through the limitations that we experience is one of best thing that we can do. thank you, rowena. i hope you are well wherever you are and by the the way, you are so pretty!! 💛💛
thank you Rowena. I needed this so much.
I haven't been watching much YT lately, but I'm so glad I tuned back in. I forgot how much your videos brighten my day. Thank you for continuing to be the sweetest potato!!! 🍠
your videos are so calming 😌
You always make the content I need to hear! Thank you
"This is just what I think about all night" I love this sooo much, you´re so honest with us and I think all of us love that
I’ve been feeling so anxious lately and I just discovered your videos and I just want to say WOW they have made me feel so much better. I want to thank you
Rowena, Its always so refreshing to see you talk about these things. Thank you for the beautiful video!
been waiting for your new video!! love u so much rowena :>
My heart needed this video 😭
New Rowena video ahh the start of my week is great
It’s such a joy to watch you. Thank you for being you ❤️❤️❤️ and putting as much effort and energy, in your videos, as you do. ❤️❤️❤️
thank you Rowena for the lovely hug 💓
Hey, Rowena. Just wanted to say thank you for uploading these types of videos, they’ve been the only things that actually inspire me. When I saw your video about the two minute rule, it changed my way of thinking and it’s stuck with me since. Thank you!
your vibe is immaculate and this is just what i needed
your voice and videos are very calming, i come here a lot when i have anxiety, thank you for doing what you do! i've been changing my lifestyle lately because of you and your channel and i feel hopeful.
Thank you Rowena! This is exactly what I needed! 🥰
ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS OF YOU. TRULY APPRECIATE THIS. THANK YOU 😊
really needed this today of all days and I'm so happy yt reccommeneded it to me when I really needed it the most. Thank you so much
Your voice is so calming! I love your videos, they are consistently nice and grounding. And your new hairstyle looks adorable!
You also make me wanna read so much with all those quotes! Really beautiful 🤍 thank you
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 UA-cam almost everyday and I have never seen someone give their viewers a HUG!! That was sweet and an awwwwww moment! Thanks for that!!
Thank you for spreading your positivity and knowledge! The exact pick me up I needed.
Woah i really needed this right now. I've been feeling so overwhelmed for the past week. Thank you Rowena!
i really really love your vibe. thank you for your videos!!
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! :)
Probably one of my new favorite videos that I will watch over and over again. Thank you! 🙌🏼💕
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
These past few years that I’ve watched and follow your contents, you have really helped me
been in a huge huge slump lately,,,, rlly glad that this video appeared on my feed! Thanks ro 💖💖
thank you for sharing these beautiful mental habits. watching this video made me realize i don't need to keep on thinking negatively just because i started the day feeling crap about my body. thank you for reminding me i can take control !!!
Have I mentioned how much i love you yes I have but I really love your videos so so much:’) You are such an amazing human bean and I hope you always stay this way🥺 I feel like I always find your videos when I need them the most help me a lot💕
Rowena you indeed have a beautiful soul. 😍 you have inculcated the real essence of self-care in me that i was able to genuinely embrace my "SELF". Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
Really love this! Something so special about caring for ourselves and our mental health. Thank you for all the tips. Definitely going to start using them myself!
I think this is my favourite video of yours so far. thank you :)
I literally was in a 👎 moment... pulling myself up, telling myself how proud I am that I can still hope...then I see this video...all I can say now is thank you~ *big screen hug back* 🤧😳
I lovedddddddd the videoooooo!!!! Thank youuu so much rowenaaaaa
I definitely felt that hug, I could almost smell your perfume. I needed that. Thanks you so much.
Your videos makes me calm and motivated the most girl! I'm so glad I checked UA-cam and had your video pop up!✨✨✨✨💖💖💖
thank you for being such a source of sunshine, for always. x
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!!!
Thank you so much for this Ro🥺💌
Absolutely loved, loved, LOVED! this video :') Thanks a ton for creating and sharing such content! You have no idea how much of a difference you're making!
Always a pleasure to watch you❤
You actually make it feel like we are all friends and that's so genuine , beautiful and extremely unique ❤
I love your content. You are able to reach all generations in all stages of life. I’ve been watching you since college. Now I’m married and have a 4 year old... 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!
I love your videos. They really help me re-focus my week.
It’s beautiful to see how not only your videos but the way you express yourself has changed so much since you first began youtube (OG follower here), and yet your essence remains the same✨ you’re one of the hugest inspirations for my own content and I can only dream to touch people the way you’ve touched me with your videos x keep shining rowena!
Keep improving your mind and take care of you
I am so happy after seeing you!!! I was waiting for your video! Thanks for this!
Thank you so much ❤️ your passion is inspiring 🌸
You help me every time you post a new video!
Thank you for sharing this. I am also going through some life changes as well and a lot of what you read resonated with me. Life had been on auto-pilot recently and then a HUGE disruption. Now I am going back to myself. Finding bits and pieces, picking it up and piecing it back together.
I really felt that hug!! and your words made me feel so at ease today, thanks for sharing your thoughts! When I first found your channel, these types of vids would stress me o u t!! I knew it's what I needed to hear but not what I wanted to hear at that moment, but now they make me feel completely at ease. They have helped me a lot in the past couple of months, I replay them often! thank you!!
