I searched up "how do you stay positive". close enough. Feeling quite under myself too... i think it's the first time i looked up such a video title...
1: celebrate small things[ be grateful you are here you're breathing ur alive 2: it's all temporary you're sadness will go away 3: focus on important things[family friends yourself] 4: change what u can let go on what u cant[get rid of the thing that is makeing you stressed] 5: do stuff that makes you happy [meditating drawing reading etc] 6: do fun stuff spend every day like its you're last That's it you're welcome! ❤💕
I needed this because my lowest is very low and my highest is very high and my me is just me and I'm not being myself...I have a crush on someone and like I'm moving away and he's one of my friends and he's the only person that understands me. I've lost so much and I'm not ready for moving but I've been told I just gotta stick with it.
thank you so much your timing is impeccable. My life is falling apart now, I feel at the end of my rope. Thank you so much for this!! I need positivity and guidance more than ever now!
Atlas Winter I really know how you feel as I’ve just gone through something similar a few months ago. I believe in you!! As hard as it is, just keep going and it will get better I swear !! Sending you strength❤️❤️❤️
i usually stay away from positivity content because so much of what i encountered are toxic positivity. they felt invalidating or worse, dismissive. But this is really nice and very helpful
4:40 Also a nice quote by Jim Rohn "If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse." I honestly love your existence, thank you for the video ❤
In the beginning of year I got evicted from my home and my family and I cried a lot because we knew it was unfair. My landlord picked up our check late on PURPOSE from his PO box to legally kick us out & other tenants. We kept getting denied entry everywhere we applied and that takes a tole on you! I spent finals week moving, studying, and doing educational feildwork... After life shit on me I decided to just put good energy out there and I'm not afraid trying new things! I quit my shitty retail job and now I work in a feild that cares about it's employees and where I can make a diffrences. You'd be surprised how many long time friends you lose when you start doing good it's like they liked you better when you were sad. My best advice is exactly what you said If you view things temporarily your mind will have an easier time processing it! If you are stuck in shitty times we are all rooting for you!
Rowena, your videos are always so, so timely and just what I needed to get through this rough patch. I love that you are so real about your emotions, negative or not. It makes you relatable, it makes me feel like my feelings are validated, it makes me feel like I can walk out of my sadness and negativity hand in hand with u eventually. So thank you!!
I was in a low mood for a while today...watched this video, did the “five minute” rule & went and drank a glass of water. Then, decided to meditate for twenty minutes. Seriously best thing I’ve done all day, I felt so good - thank you for the video !!!
i am going through something so intense.. it makes me sick to talk about. thank you so much for this video and using your words to heal.. its true that sometimes we can’t truly grow and find our true inner strength without pain.. everyone causing us pain is just a distraction, distracting us from building the empire within ourselves. we are forces capable of radiating love, and that will create a ripple effect to those around us. no matter what other people’s negative ripples get sent our way
I'm so grateful for this woman spreading her knowledge and giving us all peace of mind I was in such a negative mindset today thinking that I wasn't going to pull through with things in my life but hearing her acknowledge her own shortcomings not really the negative side of it but the positive side of it knowing that she could be better pushed me and it made me smile when she said give yourself a pat on the back and tell yourself that you're doing good because you're doing good and you have been doing good you made my day and quite possibly my life for that I am forever grateful.
I am feeling down recently due to bad boss and left the company. Every day I got to tell myself to stay positive and something good (I.e. good job) will come. I strongly believe in this and keep doing what I need to do now, which are eat well, sleep well, spend some time with kids, do a lot of exercise. Thanks for making this video 😊
I can’t express how thankful I am for this video- I have been in this odd mood for the past couple months where I feel like I have just been getting mad and annoyed at everything and everyone, people just continue to disappoint me which was almost never been the case before. I never really tell someone when they have hurt my feelings or make me upset but it’s been getting harder to keep it all in. Midway in the video I paused and listed all the things I was great-full for and appreciated about each person in my life, especially the ones I’ve been frustrated with recently. It’s crazy how just reminding yourself of all the reasons you love someone can change your outlook on everything around you. I rarely ever comment but I just wanted to say thank you, because this video truly helped!
It’s incredible to see from the comments just how many people this video has helped. The good that comes from it is absolutely exponential. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Rowena! One of the many joys of visiting your channel and watching your wonderful videos is that it is a place I know I can come to whenever I'm in need of some positive energy, from your inspirational messages and the reminders of how to optimally live our lives. I've said this before, but it also helps to see other people going through the same struggles as the rest of us; not that I want to see other people suffer but it is comforting when we know we are not alone. Your videos bring back a sense of mindfulness and serve as a source of self-care in my daily routine. In my personal effort to improve and pull myself out of my head and negativity--a daily struggle for sure--your videos pull me through. So as always, thank you my dear RU-vid Guru! Hope you are well!
Sometimes I don't even go looking for these types of videos. But, they pop up on my feed , so click it to just relax, to pass free time at work...or have a moment of clarity. It seems whatever I am secretly feeling deep inside on my mind, gets revealed in YOUR videos. And for that THANK YOU. You have helped me so much Rowena, I hope someday I can help you. Much LOVE - Kayla
Sending a lot of good vibes your way, Rowena! This was a really thoughtful, kind video I didn't know I needed. I just started my second semester of uni and it's so easy to get caught up comparing myself to others + not taking the time to pause and be grateful for all the good just waiting to be seen that I already have. What you said about meditating on death to repel all doubts when it comes to difficult decisions really struck a chord in me, too. Thank you for always being a friend pushing us to grow into the best version of ourselves!
anytime I’m feeling down or not like myself, I watch your videos. you’re amazing & genuine & have helped me in more ways than you’ll ever realize. I look up to you so much Rowena 😭 love youuuu ♥️
I'm a very quiet and reserved person, always comparing myself to those around me and doubting myself. I'm starting to appreciate myself little by little now.. Thank you for making content! I sincerely enjoy and view them for inspiration. 💛
thank you so much for your tips. i’ve always been and still am a pessimist. i want to look at the positive side of life, and not be so stressed about school and work. thank you thank you!
a few weeks ago i wrote to you on instagram right away (even before texting some of my friends) because i was feeling reeeeeaaaally down and disappointed... i wrote to you because you've become like kind of "my life guru" so every time i watch your videos, you always say something that remains stuck in my head for weeks! this video was that something that i needed to hear from you... thank you so so much!
Periods of discomfort leading to breakthrough: Yes! This is so true, and so helpful to hear when going through the thick of a difficult phase. Thank you, great video(:
I was feeling sluggish and sad and upset and stuck for the entire day (if not the entire month on/off) and clicking on a video of yours after frantically searching for a positive cozy corner on the internet. Thank you so much for existing and sharing your existence with us, Rowena. To be honest a youtube comment just doesn‘t do my feelings justice I wanna give you all the love and happiness and health and balance and wisdom in the entire world, you‘re actually amazing ❤️❤️☺️✨✨
I feel thisssss!! I haven’t been keeping up with my 5min journal, I’ve been getting sucked into my phone, blah blah. Thank you for this video💛 love your reminders
your advice and videos are worth so much.your authenticity is soo helpful and inspiring, especially because through that everybody that is struggeling at this moment as well knows that he or she isnt alone in this and that it's a totally normal part of life. supporting each other makes the struggle much more bearable. Keep on rockin' girl! Big hug from Germany
Rowena, your ‘ramblings’ rock! I love hearing what you have to say as it’s reminder to us all to value what we have in life and stay centred but to continue to dream, followed by action and passion. 🙌
You don't have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be great. - Les Brown Take time to do your journal. You got this and you'll feel so much better in the future. Thank you!
I really love your videos and your spirit. I almost watch your videos every day before I go to sleep, so that I remember that there’s always hope to become a better person and believe it or not I started to sleep and wake up earlier and it’s because of you , also I became more productive and I started to focus more on what should I do , I ‘m really thankful that you exists you changed me soooooooo much in a really short time.❤️❤️❤️
I started watching this video early this morning, and when you said "pause this and go do something," I paused and left to go to work and worked for 9 hrs. Lol maybe that wasn't quite what you had in mind haha. It was nice to come home and finish the video, and then actually take a few minutes to chill, pat myself on the back, etc. There's something very comforting about watching and listening to you talk about how you're struggling with things but that it's all okay. Thank you for sharing your struggles, Rowena. Lots of love and good vibes to you.
So the other night I watched this, and my head was not in the right space. I found myself distracted and not really listening because I kept thinking of this challenge I was faced with. Fast forward two days later, I watch this again intentionally listening and it was exactly what I needed in the first place! Confirming that everything is okay to be okay. 😊 Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to do what do for us!
Hi Rowena! Just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos and the fact that you’re real - it’s not possible to feel good about life 100% of the time and you remind me that accepting that is what leads to letting go. ❤️
Thank you for this video! I just found out I failed my exam and it crushed me because I studied so hard. I feel so disappointed in myself, however, I will continue to work harder to pass.
Thank u so much dear Rowena! Don't know why, but your videos always come at the right for me. They always come when i need all those reminders. Thank u, thank u, and thank u so much!
The intro and I already feel you 100%, i’ve been so down and containing it because I feel like i’m too busy to like let it go LOL and at one point i just become so tired but slowly but surely trying to be better!
You are incredible. I have subscribed to your channel for a while but did not have the notifications set up. Now I look forward to seeing your videos. Every one I have seen is so relevant and important to my life and mindset. Keep doing you, you are amazing and influential!
Omg the quote! I have found as well that reminding myself that I am very much mortal I free myself. No matter what happens I will die and that there is no guarantee I'll even get old. I might die in months, a few years or decades. In that mindset I find some sort of peace with the world. There is no good times or bad times, because the time is always now
I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself lately, especially with this upcoming school year since I’ll be finishing up nursing school... I really had to hear this, thank you so much Rowena... hope you feel better soon ✨💕
I don't usually comment, but I just wanna say that you uploaded this at just the right time. I've been going through a tough time lately although I had been doing really well productivity wise. I suffer from PMDD which is a very heavy, debilitating form of PMS. So basically every month there is a week where I feel like absolute crap, get depressed, can't sleep, bloating and pain everywhere... It's hard to take it easy and not be hard on myself because I'm such a perfectionist and tend to get frustrated. So, thank you for your videos and your good advice, it really helps me to be nicer to myself. 💖
just watched this video today on christmas. so many things i needed to hear. i've been trying not to get down on myself the last few weeks considering some unfortunate circumstances, and messages like this definitely make it a lot easier to keep pushing forward and to keep thinking positively. despite seeing it after two years...better late than never lol. thank you for this i needed the positive message
Seriously I feel like I'm things like things state as you are morally really helps to hear that you are normal and going through it too but that you're also acknowledging or strength. And proud of you for continuing your practice thank you so much for doing so so that I can be inspired to continue practicing too
Yes! Your messages always resonate with me and provide that little boost of inspiration to choose happiness and positivity instead of dwelling on the negative, which is an easy trap to fall into sometimes. Thank you :)
Rowena, such a nice reminder that at the end of the day the whole of life can be summed up to the act of letting go ☺️☺️. Whether that be thoughts, attachments, etc. once you let go of whatever it may be your chakras open and energy can cycle through without interruption. Living in the present becomes easier. “Let go” is such a powerful mantra to repeat to oneself throughout the day, a reminder to release what does not serve you.
How could anyone do a thumbs down for this beautiful goddess! SHE’S SO GOD DAMN AMAZING, PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOD DAMN BLESSING TO US ALL 💗
I hope you guys know that your not alone, if it makes you feel better I’m currently on a bumpy road (mentally) and I’m trying to stay positive. Your not alone 😍
Thank you for this. I haven’t told many people in real life, but I found out I was pregnant not long ago and it was unexpected. I have a loving husband but so much is going through my mind and my hormones are additionally making me depressed. But you’re right...it’s ok to feel that way sometimes and love yourself.
Congratulations! Please remember that life gives you 9 months to get used to the idea of becoming a mother and to prepare for this life event. Take your time. And let me tell you, not everyone feels great while pregnant, even though it can look that way. It's okay to feel like crap. You'll be okay in the end!
I just discovered your channel and I can’t express how much I love your videos!! They’ve been immeasurably helpful in keeping me organized and,, y’know,,, sane!
I absolutely loved this, Rowena! That quote about time being finite is so important for me to remember. And good do see I'm not the only one feeling bad sometimes and struggling to be positive, even tho I believe in it 100%. I too fall off-track so quickly if I don't follow my own advice/stick to my vibe raising routines! x
I've felt a bit blue last week ... which resulted in me slacking off completely with yoga and meditation and exercise in general also. Which I just realized after watching your video... is probably the reason why I've allowed this little rut to continue into this week ... cos I DIDN'T get up and do these obvious things I know make feel sooo much better!! : Z I'll take this video as a perfectly timed reminder ... to re-start the steps to "unrutting" myself : P Also a lot of you tubers that give positive tips ... say it in a way as if they do the tips daily without fail and their tips keep everything peachy 24/7. So I find your honesty about having to remind yourself of your own tips and being open and accountable about where you can improve ... very refreshing and relatable!! Your channel has been a great help to me and the fact you cover ... not only...usable little day to day tips as well as life goals ... but also the importance of spiritual growth as well : D So thank you ... You are an inspiring lady and I'm so pleased I found yours and yoga with Adriennes channel : ) My two favs.
I know this video is old and I'm not sure if you will see this but I wanted to say how relevant it still is, especially with everything happening currently in the world. I really appreciate you sharing all of these helpful tips and I agree with the quote from Steve Jobs. A question that resonates with me is similar; "envision our own funeral, and consider what would you like each of the speakers to say about you and your life? What character would you like them to have seen in you?" and it makes you think with the end in mind. I found this in a book called 7 Habits of highly effective people, I would definitely recommend!!
I was sent to this video by the algorithm.. (but I believe it was the universe :) ) Everything that you have touched on in this video felt like I was talking to myself. Everything, every word, resonated with me and I am so thankful to know I am not alone.
Dear Rowena, thank you so much for making your videos. I love to watch them because often times they reverberate a thought process within me. Sometimes it is pleasant because I deeply agree with what you say and sometimes it's a little unpleasant because I want to ignore a certain truth. However, it's those truths that I need to hear in order to move forward in my thinking and feeling. Most of the times I don't comment on your videos but this time I had to let you know how grateful I am for your content! I don't meet many like minded people but knowing about you experience similar thoughts to mine is a beautiful thing. (I'm German and English is my second language, so I hope I translated good enough) xoxo Julia 💖
just moved to a completely new town a few days ago from my home country and this video was just what I needed as I have been feeling scared and anxious a bit, thank you so much ❤️
these are great tips. I feel like this will help me. Last month I was helping care for my grandfather passing away from cancer. It was really hard for me since he was like a father. Plus a lot of other things are happening all at once. I am trying my best to get back on track with life. Last year I almost died and I was super positive about living life and now that has burnt out so I'm trying my best to get back to that point of enjoying everything.
Your videos are so useful and full of original and helpful advice❤️Knowing that everyone is dealing with everyday struggle and overthinking makes me feel like i’m not alone💪🏼thank you for what you keep doing on the tube☀️
Each time I watch your videos, It reminds myself things. I love watching your videos because, even though I almost never apply you advices when it comes to myself (because of my low confidence), It helps me at least think about how I could improve my mental state. Even though I'm fine, sometimes I overthink and so I'm not fine anymore but It happens right ? You're such a great person, your channel is the best thing I could ask for, thank you for being yourself in front of the camera. I love you, keep going on every project and I'm sure it'll be amazing
thank you rowena! i really need this today so I re watched it, and u make me smile and feel positive after. I hope you know that what u're doing ur videos helped a lot of people 💖
