I absolutely LOVE this. Now that I work from home full time, I’ve noticed an increase in my anxiety when I go out by myself. It’s a reminder that I need to spend more time with myself and feel comfort with my own company. It’s like working out! I’m sure it’ll get more comfortable once I get into the habit of doing it more. Thanks for the reminder, Rena :) Amazing video as always. Ps - I am always in AWE of your cinematography, coloring, sound design (!!!) it’s always so on point and I definitely take inspiration from your edits. Also I LOVE LOVE LOVE these more talkative videos. I really feel connected to you as a creator through these videos.
Thank you Hunter!! It really is like working out hahah but it definitely feels so good and healing to carve out time just for myself 😌 AND THANK YOUU! I always enjoy filming this style of vlogs so I'm glad you enjoy them!!
Hi Rena! Kudos to you for doing Koko head! I liked your reflection questions.. I think I’ll rewatch this and sit down with my journal next time. 🙂 I take myself to a place with animals and sit with my thoughts and focus on my new furry friends. 😊 Humane Society, Petsmart (Poi Dogs and Popoki is responsible for the adoptable cats), or adoptable cat cafes. I also go to the library to check out books and make sure to talk story with the librarians when I check out. They’re always friendly and great at making recommendations! I also add to my collections by visiting anime, kpop, and stationery shops. Sometimes I take a photo of what it is I want (like window shopping) and I print it and put it in my notebook when I get home. 😂 I used to go to dance classes and yoga classes alone and those were so awesome for me. I am normally introverted but for some reason I give myself permission to pretend to be an extrovert in those spaces. I hope to someday go back when I live closer to town. 😌 One of my favorite things is treating myself to new experiences. Like how you tried yoni steaming. Thanks for reminding me that the temporary discomfort can be worth it! :)
I don't have any pets at the moment so going somewhere to pet some cute dogs/cats sound like a good way for me to get my fix 😩💕 Thank you so much for your recommendations!! I haven't been to the library in a hot minuteee -- that sounds like another relaxing place to spend the afternoon! I've also been chatting with Jack about trying ballroom dance classes together just to try something new so maybe we'll try that soon 🫣 Thank you for always joining me here and sharing your thoughts with me!!
You are my favorite Hawaii RU-vid channel. You motivate me so much, and the things I've been wanting to do in Hawaii, you're actually doing and showing. And thank you for continuing to create content at a steady pace. I hope you having a good day｡◝‿◜｡
Rena, your new video is a masterpiece. It's a warm embrace for those who might feel solitude is a burden, a gentle reminder that it's a gift. Your words weave a tapestry of self-discovery, highlighting the quiet power of introspection. You paint a picture of solo adventures, not as lonely pursuits, but journeys of self-connection. Thank you for reminding us that sometimes, the most beautiful company we can keep is our own. Your message is a balm for the soul, a nudge towards self-love, and a testament to the strength found in solitude. This video is more than just a guide; it's a quiet revolution, a celebration of the introspective spirit. You've shone a light on the beauty of being alone, and for that, we are grateful.❤
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for such a warm and thoughtful comment!! I’m honored and thrilled to hear that you were able to resonate with the video! Being able to take time to yourself truly is a gift but often overlooked. One of my goals this year is to show up for myself as much as I show up for my loved ones 🙇🏻♀️❤️
@@wegofilm You're welcome! Taking time for yourself is so important, and I'm happy to hear that you're making it a goal this year. I find that when I take care of myself, I'm better able to take care of the people around me. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! Good luck!
Hey Rena! Loving your content as always ❤️. Quick question, what’s your setup for daily vlogs? We’re expecting a baby girl soon and I’m looking for another camera for my wife to use.
Thank you so much 🥺❤ For this vlog, I used the DJI Osmo Pocket 3! I also primarily used this camera for the Lombok travel vlog. I absolutely love it for casual vlogging and travel since it's so tiny and easy to use! In the past, I also use the Sony ZV-1 (My Kansas Vlog and NYC Vlog was filmed on that one). Also easy to use but I prefer the Osmo because it has a built in gimbal so you can film while walking :)
