You should have a podcast! Your messages are super motivating and you have a relaxing voice!!
aww thanks April! I appreciate you and this comment - will def give podcasting some more thought :)
You make me want to live
ps i would love a podcast of this thing from you
YES! Or like talking about things and bringing other people in to add to the conversation!
I felt very strange when you said "you know Deep down what you need" I heard that before and agreed. But I am so sad sometimes, that I can not find that thing. It is suffocating being unable to find a solution
hi Veronica, what are your thoughts on writing or journaling? it help me a lot when I was really sad a few years back, and it still does wonders these days. maybe in writing out your thoughts you’ll be able to get back in touch with that inner voice?
Rowena Tsai I used to write a lot about bad feelings, I quitted a few months because I realised that got me tangled even in a worst place. Like if I enjoyed being an outcast and sad and all. Masochistic I dont know. I am way better now, but I will really try to start writing again, you mention it several times in your videos. I'll try at least writing the good things that I feel, and the sad ones too but being a little careful. And not to mention, I will keep watching your videos, forever. Thanks baby ❤️
La La The "why stress out" sentence blew my mind. I sometimes feel out of my own self, do you? I feel that is the point were I stumble the most.

Perfect timing. So unmotivated regarding university & life in general. Ugh.
So me right now!!
Me too
awww sameee😟
I've been able to relate to every video you upload. Your content is so genuine in the sense that as you've mentioned it's okay to have good/bad days since in the end it's all part of life. I'd like to see more organization videos, meal prep/recipes, self-care and inspirational, as well as life updates. Thank you for all you do for your subscribers Rowena, you're the best! Hope you get out of your slump soon
😭❤️ thank you Mayte! thanks for the tips and for sharing 🙏🏻 will keep doing what i’ve been doing with organization and self care and look into food :) I appreciate you!!!
truth!!
I wish this was applicable to school. There is no breaks.
you can make breaks for yourself! even if it’s 10-15min a day ☺️ it’s like the abundance vs scarcity mindset. life never really stops but we can choose to slow down ourselves every once in a while!
you’re glowing 💓
thanks Andrea ☺️💕
Also with being a woman we have a natural hormone cycle through the month (4 seasons menstruation) and sometimes our body is literally telling us to go inwards and rest or to create and be out in the world depending on the hormones in our body! So its super hard to work against and in a way if we do is going against our nature. The more we rest when it is called of us the more energy we will have to give when we snap out of the funk :)
Amy M aint that the truth. Just think marijuana is the best choice to stay productive for the rest of the month. Cant stand hormones anymore. Here were proficient and creative for 2 weeks not even LOL
oh wow, as a female i'm surprised to know this. that's kinda cool
skin's looking healthy!
can you make more content about eating healthy?
Hi, Rowena! I love how you still did this video even if you didn't feel like it. Thanks for always keeping it real. You're amazing at being you!! ☀️
appreciate this and you Coeli ☺️💕
Today, I binge watched almost all your videos because I'm feeling unmotivated and lacking inspiration, but you know what , suddenly I started feeling productive and got up from my bed and did half of the things that I've been procrastinating to do this week . Rowena , I want to tell you that your a source for inspiration and motivation for me , you are the best and I love you 💗 :^)
lmao this could not have come at a better time, thank u mama Rowena
love u my beautiful child 😜😂💕
I love you Rowena. You are a amazing person.
Sometimes I feel really depressed and demotivated, watching your videos make me feel better. It feels like you are my elder sister telling me how to deal with life when it's hard to deal with. Feel good to know that someone like you is always there as a support.
Lots of love ❤️
Recently I started doing a daily routine called "Five Things To Be Grateful For" that my mom 👩 suggested to me. While writing ✍️ what I am grateful for has made me think that there is plenty of things to be full of gratefulness. After that, I feel great and know I'm trying to conquer my stress 😖 because that a main that is bring me down.💛💛
I luuurve you rowena. Perfect moment to watch this
Ironically enough, I find myself putting off your videos because each and every time you call me out on something I know I can be doing better! I love your content so much!!
A video I'd LOVE to see is one where you go through things that relax you. I feel like between work, school, and family, I especially can get so tense without even realizing it. I hope to see how you unwind and calm yourself!
I was feeling so down. Till I found your channel....You're such an inspiration to me. I've discovered your channel 2 days ago, I've watched like 15 of your videos and your tips helped me so much. Thanks to you I've got a lot more easy trough a panic attack andy anxiety, discover myself, and spread more love. I'm feeling a lot better thanks to you. I love you soooooo muuuuuch💞. Wish you're going to fall in love with life everyday.
Girl, I have to say. Your skin is GLOWING! ✨
I love videos like this! It might be cool to do a day in the life type video or something like that, but I just love hearing what you have to say! Your view on the world and wisdom is amazing and no matter what video you make just hearing your words or wisdom makes my day 💜thank you for making this video (and every other one too) :)
I like these type of videos because instead of coming off as picture perfect, you show us your true vulnerable side. It takes courage, but viewers like myself feel uninspired sometimes and finding videos like this online can really help and change someones day. =)
I honestly don't understand how you come out with videos that are so relevant to me every week
Rowenaa you make everything sound so easyyy and by watching this video its like listening to a friend talking to me to motivatesss me. LOVE U LOTS
THIS VIDEO was incredibly helpful in letting me know I am not alone!!
I get STRONG mental blocks when wanting to create and I get so discouraged weeks that are filled with more working in the "corporate world" and less working on my own passions! Balance truly is key and I hope you do realize every single video you put out is tremendously beneficial to someone at some point along their journey!
Please never stop producing the content YOU are interested in!!
you're like a best friend that all of us needs to keep us sane.
I just recently started journaling/writing down my thoughts, even when I’m having bleh days it helps a lot!! I find myself writing down phrases I come up with for my songwriting then I’ll come back to it in a few days. Also, Rowena you’re glowinggg💕
Thank you Rowena! Every video you shared this last days was so on point for me ! If you need a break just take it! Or do more videos like this, I feel so related when I see people in a "not edited version of themselves". Anyway! All love and support!!
Ok, so what Im working on is waking up at the 4am thing. Its hard. Very hard. But tomorrow is a new day to try again.
Absolutely! When you don't feel like doing it, do it anyway :) Wonderful!!! We need to hear this every single day! It is so easy to fall into a rut and allow our "feelings" to dictate what we are and are not going to do and that is a dangerous place to be! I really like your channel and am glad I found it :)
This came out at such a perfect time,really needed this
I definitely agree. Do something, don't let the time slip by.
also I love putting your videos in watch later for days I'm too depressed to do anything but stay in bed, your video have truly helped me in those moments & have gotten me out of a bad mindset several times. Thank you!♡
your videos help me a lot, because adulting is hard. actually im the opposite of you i have been working so much and i tried to clean my room today but my body said no and i just pick so stuff up from my bathroom and i was okay with it and went back to bed
sofia ❤️ agreed, adulting can be hard and I’m so happy and proud of you for listening to your body! I always tell myself tomorrow is a brand new day, and that most things can wait if I’ve already been trying my best
I love to watch your videos because you are so sincere when it comes to lack of motivation. Other channels make it seem as if it never happens!
Hey girl! Yes to accepting and adapting when things aren’t perfect! My lesson of the week has definitely been focus on completing my tasks instead of over analyzing and stressing because I’m not doing something perfect. Literally stressed over choreographing a dance for a kid’s workshop and I kept changing it and changing it because I felt my moves were mediocre but finally wore myself out and decided to just finish it. When I taught the class, I ended up having to adapt and change choreography to fit the students anyways & they LOVED it even though each move wasn’t highly criticized or agonized over like I initially planned. Goal for this week: Find the fun in what I’m doing and accept not being perfect can be great. Thanks for helping us feel less alone ❤️
It's amazing that you are feeling this way and realising these things "creating in order to process and in order to help". Let me tell you now that your videos DO NOT have to be "well produced" because your content is what matters most. I love watching your videos and if the 'production' is getting in the way of you spilling out more of your golden nuggets of wisdom and/or expressing yourself PLEASE do not produce on our account, or at least for people such as myself who really just genuinely enjoy watching your videos, learning from you, and just simply "seeing" you on a regular basis. (Hope that does not sound creepy at all.)
In any case I am an extremely HUGE fan of your work. Please keep it up. You are such a light. This is my first time ever commenting on any of your videos and I hope this little message finds its way to you and helps uplift your spirits. Cheers! Have an awesome and kick ass day!!!
Alexa
I really love videos that show you getting stuff done (like getting your life together n how to get up at 4am). They're great at inspiring me to get out of a slump and be productive!!
Also I read The Power of Habit a while back, a video dedicated to ways you've changed habits using the methods in that book would be so cool!!
Hi Rowena
I really like these types of videos. Where you sit and just talk to us about self help. It’s been very helpful and motivating. Keep it up!
I'm so happy I've found your channel. It's extremely helpful when I'm feeling like a potato.
I just graduated a few months ago, so my summer consist of working.
can i just say i wish you were like a friend of mine in my actual life, i genuinely enjoy your virtual company so much!!
Yesss i relate to this so much! Sometimes the struggle is real with content creation but we will always keep going forward!🌻🌞💕
I’m here from “Blue” and this helped me so much💛
Madison Wallace same!!
I am honestly so glad I found your channel. You’re so genuine and helpful
Hey Rowena!
I love your videos! You have very deep and original thoughts. 💕
You mentioned in some of your videos Tai Chi, Chi Kong and Falun Dafa. It would be awesome if you would make a video about how you practice it, what kind of benefits it has or anything related to the topic.
Have a beautiful day! :)
I appreciate your unmotivated video! We all feel like that sometimes. It is nice to hear your approach and thoughts on it. For videos maybe what you do on Sundays to prep for the week? more thrift shopping and ebay selling/packaging. Or meals you like to cook for your week?
I just graduated from college and I am going to go to grad school after the summer is over. I have two part time jobs and I have been trying to relax a little bit before school starts back up again. But at work, I am doing tasks that don't really stimulate me.. feeling a little blah
I created a little life goals/summer goals list from one of your videos. I would say i've achieved some of those goals, but some tasks i'm still avoiding.. I'm unsure if i've set too many goals or I am just not focused enough with the lull of summer.
Your videos have helped me focus in on my goals even though I am not checking them all off. I've also reached out to my family more and learning more about the happiness that comes from cleaning!
Appreciate ya lots.
As funny as it might sound, your honesty and playfulness are what I like the most about your videos, and I feel like those things would shine through even if you didn't make self-help videos. If you're running low on self-help video ideas, perhaps you'll find more ideas elsewhere? :-)
this is such a sweet comment 🙈💕 thank you!! yess I’m playing around with a few ideas hehe appreciate the loving nudge :)
You're more than welcome Rowena. :-) Looking forward to seeing where your inspiration takes you next. :-)
this is exactly what i needed after a low-energy, lethargic day in bed. thanks so much for always being so motivating and energetic!
I can't even put it into words how cute you are
your content is amazing, keep doing what you're doing
and to anyone reading this: you'll achieve something significant. trust me.
peace
Your video's really motivate me, I just graduated high school and I'm going to live on my own and I've had nights where I would just think about my future and what I want and your video's always help me with figuring it out. I really enjoy them and I just wanted to tell you that 💛
You can serve many people by addressing this issue. This helps me.
I totally feel you Rowena. You’re glowing by the way, even though you may be feeling like a potato!
I have a super charged summer this year. I would love love a vid on "how to put yourself together with chaos" With all this abnormal travel and Dr and my off beat ways I'm so stressed. I loved the vid and I actually believe most of us feel like yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself because very soon the snow will be back and the cold. Trust me enjoy the H-E-A-T
I was feeling unmotivated and tired this start of semester but this video came. Thank you for saying it's okay 😭😍 Thank you for calming me down 😘😘
you're such a bubbly and cheerful person, love watching your videos :)
Love this video girl! :) Thank you, honestly. I am currently recovering from a burn-out and what you say about taking time for yourself and also doing the things that You really want to do or put out there, regardless of likes and such... Y-A-S! My mindset has completely changed since my recovery and we all should do things more, just for ourselves. Love these short videos! :) Xx
Rowena is the best I feel so uninspired rn to make youtube videos I really needed this 💖💖
You are simply and perfectly the best.. im sending you the highest vibrations i can send...
I love your videos! You are so real and your videos are super relatable and always come at the perfect times. When i feel really sad or lost, I just watch your videos, and I get more motivated and feel better afterwards. You inspire me to live my life to the fullest. Thanks. You're amazing!
I appreciate how genuine this is! Timely, Rowena! ♥
SCARLET HEART IS ONE OF MY FAVES EVER!!! It tears at my heart strings every time lol. I love watching your videos. You say alot of things I need to hear. I hope you receive the same encouragement and motivation that you give me❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i know you probably get these comments a lot, and wont see this one but you are beautiful inside and out. be you always💓
Your channel is a heaven sent! Just discovered you yesterday and I'm already binging all the videos... Love your personality and how you talk and explain things
I just wanted to say that I appreciate your honesty in this video 💖 I've been feeling the same way lately and wondering what's wrong with me, but it helped me feel better to know I'm not alone. I hope you feel that way too now with all of the comments.
I am feeling this right now and I'm so happy to watch this
I wish I could surround myself with people like you.
if you had podcasts i'd be listening everyday like wow I literally needed to find this channel in my life hahaha
Always feeling better about life after I watch your videos. Thanks Rowena
you are incredibly soothing and have a very calming energy. You would be great host for a podcast and I love your energy as well. You helped me clear my mind.
I would enjoy to hear videos on mindfulness (how to be more mindful day to day) and how to push through a bad or hard time. I love your videos! Thank you 😊
You only talk facts girrrrl 💕💚
wow I REALLY needed this...just perfect timing thank you so much cause ei to as beating myself up about not being motivated and I felt so bad but this video really helped me. Thank you!!
this came at the best time. Love you ❣️
I would like to see an occasional daily vlog - or anything random - I always enjoy whatever you produce so feel free to choose
You are so real and I appreciate that so much. Thank you for the wonderful advice ♥️
I really relate to this struggle. I've been working on focus, productivity, self-improvement for the past month or two, been diving into work as much as I can. I need to really make time for genuine relax/fun time though. Too much goal oriented activities 24/7 can be draining no matter how important they may be to us. We all need breaks.
Great video! I’d love to hear you talk about taking breaks/relaxing when you have a full time job. I’ve just graduated from uni and when I get home after a long commute I feel like I have a million things to do before the next day e.g gym, dinner, make packed lunch, tidy room, odd jobs, call people etc and I feel like I’m always on the go 🙃 Thanks Rowena!
You’re so genuine, it’s really nice to watch, and I think this video is really pivotal to our society and how much pressure we put on ourselves to perform well all the time, when it’s a totally unrealistic expectation.. so well done on demonstrating that it is so normal to not always be smashing it, and in fact being human *shock*, I was just wondering why you started YouTubing.. you’ve inspired me to potentially do it, as I feel I’m quite motivational and I just want to offer people advice.. a lot aha - cheers xxo
I love the calming effect your videos leave on me. I love that you are so openhearted and always making effort to help us to improve ourselves. I totally love these chatty videos, that's a fact, but I would love to see vlogs or routine videos as well to know you a bit more. Besides, I think it would be more helpful because some people learn and take action better by watching people doing what they suggest.(It's similar to your learning by watching kdramas.) Anyways, I talked too much. I love you. Take care✨
Haha sometimes it’s like i’m watching myself if i watch your video’s. Find the video’s about your struggles the most inspiring, cuz I can relate to it and sometimes that helps to see things more clearly for myself. Thanks for this content on UA-cam!
Have you even thought about making your own podcast? I would love to listen to it ;)
I was def using today (July 4th in America) to do some catch up on my passion projects and interestingly enough, I did feel like I hit a rut. Going through the motions is hard! I’m feeling inspired to go take a break now!! 😂🙏 Going to get back to it tomorrow - hopefully with more energy! Thanks Rowena!
I have the "Start With Why" book still sitting on my night stand... But I'll def reach out about my thoughts on it once I get to it (I'm backlogged on my reading -- but working on it! I added reading to my night time routine on Monday so hopefully I can turn it into a habit!)
I’ve been out of school for a couple of months because summer break and I’ve been feeling really unproductive lately, so I started journaling and planning my weeks out so that I have the weekends to relax. I’ve been trying to stay productive during the week which has been making me feel so much better. :-)
I'd love to know more about your spirituality and what you do each day :) great video again Rowena, thank you for all the motivation and inspiration you have given me from your videos!!
really really feeling like this right now, thank you for such a real video!
I'd LOVE a haul of some sort or just a video on something you love
Just what I needed today. Love ya 💕🌻
your videos really help me a lot!!! love how real you are
Omg your hair and skin look AMAZING 💜
I found that i feel this way once so often, thanks for sharing🧡
Super random but I'd love to see you do like a DNA test and film opening the results! I find those so fun to watch!!
This video made me really happy. Thank you, Rowena ❤
I started making UA-cam videos in February and I have been really enjoying it but it is possible to burn yourself out. I go through periods of worry from time to time of "what if I don't know what to put in my next video" and I have to remind myself it's okay. I'm making these videos because I enjoy them and uploading them to UA-cam is just the added bonus that comes from that. I think we need to remind ourselves that if we have 2-3 weeks whatever of just feeling meh creatively to just let it be and go and do other things. It's often when we balance out that we find the inspiration to return to something.
you are so real ! I’m felling busy and it’s getting tricky for me to work
I love your videos no matter what the subject is! I’d love to see more tips on motivation, mindset, meditation, reading lists etc tho!
Thank you for just making this video. You're great.
Would love a video on how to believe in yourself. I struggle to imagine myself achieving the things I’d love to achieve because I don’t really think I’m worth it or capable of it. Hope you’re doing well xx
Hi! I definitely get you there when you said that you're not into watching UA-cam videos or tv shows bcos you do "this". That speaks of your originality as content creator. You must prefer not to compare or get intimidated with other's work so you work at your own pace. So when you asked abt what we want on your next upload, I think you know it better but I have one suggestion though, what are the conveniences you experienced while away from your family since you're living on your own in nyc?
Wow this was sooo spot on. Thank you! I needed to hear it x x
i love this video and it’s really encouraging! i’d like to see some food stuff or “a day in the life of” sort of thing :)
I have been dying in this heat. Make it go away :( Also, I would love to hear more about habits, like what your favorite habits are currently, how you handle them, or anything like that. Yes, I'm reading a book on habits, that's why I'm interested. I've been trying to be productive, because I like how productive feels, but I am not getting too far. I think I need to shut off my technology and come up with a plan.
Just kind of doing the thing anyway is such wisdom when I become perfectionist about something to the point that I am put off from starting! I love how honest you are in your videos. I'd love you to talk more about books that you read, and also how you study books related to your faith. Videos on meditation are also welcome 💡
