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!

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!

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 KZitem Guru! Hope you are well!

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.

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'm just here to say that I've always been a quite person (all of this still happens today). I am not social what so ever. I get anxiety when I talk to others and when I do, I feel like it's going nowhere. As in can never find the right words to say, most of the time my messages look like "😘" or ":)", so basically not as much, like the "average" person. (And sorry, I hate saying that because everyone is perfect the way they are, everyone is equal but im using it because I don't know what else to put). Its really hard to make friends. Online or out, no matter what it is I just can't (tho I do prefer online). What I've been trying to say is that even if it's just one person, I am so grateful. It's always been hard for me and to see that someone cares no matter how I act Is truly amazing (I always put stuff in my head to bring be down, how I make others feel negative or ruin there lives to how they really feel about me. I always end up believing them). You don't know how happy it makes me. Even just one person, a friend can change your life and make you feel like you belong here. Oh and thanks for taking your time to read that. I'm grateful 😌

Spot on about how we trend to be our own worst critic lol. I also think. because of that and just the overly stressful society that we live in today compared to even 50 years ago and on, we really just need to rewire our brains -- thus, why journaling, meditation, affirmations, mindfulness, and whatever else can be helpful but also tough to stay consistent with -- it's going against the way our brains have become wired. The neuro pathways in our brains literally become rewired, or rerouted, bases on the brain's associations and emotional responses (neuroplasticity), such as by criticism of ourselves and/or the opinions of others. It becomes rewired by the unnecessary yet necessary stressful and fast-pased, on-the-go, fear-of-missing-out, always connected lifestyle and society that we live in. It's even rewired with the feeling that we must strive for perfection because we're conditioned to think we aren't already, even by advertisers or due to each other. We need the perfect body, the perfect face and makeup, the perfect hair, the perfect job and future home, or even being the best helicopter parent the world has ever seen. We even dream different and in color when compared to the early 1900s, thanks to television lol. Everyday, we're bombarded by stress, negativity, judgement or criticism (even of others), drama, gossip, competition, etc., to the point where our rewired in the brain and conditioned to feel that way, almost out of habit. That's why it's so important to disconnect ever so often and to ground yourself. It's also why it's key to try to seek out positivity, whether through changing habits, thoughts, meditation, affirmations, or people -- not to aim for being the most perfect happy person evah, but in order to re-rewire the brain. All I know is I went from depression and chronic stress, to the point of chronic adrenal fatigue and finding it very difficult to control my emotions because of it, back to normalish within about a year because I worked hard on rewiring my brain. I stopped gossiping about others as much and listened to affirmations regularly. I viewed positive channels like this one that reinforced positive thinking, whether spiritually or otherwise. I even listened to spiritual or self-help material and educated myself. I started to eat better and tried to live mite like a human and less like a Borg, and practiced gratitude daily, which always brings me back and majes me mite humble -- it's so easy to take things for granted instead of seeing the abundance we have already. Regardless of how hokey I thought something was, I did it anyway. I stopped getting so emotionally invested in things that stressed me out, such as politics or even certain TV shows that felt negative lol, and worked on what brought joy. I made efforts to stop caring so much about what others think and to feel compassion for those who maybe didn't think so nicely of me or I them. I took a day or half a day's rest each week to do what I wanted to do and to mentally and physically pamper myself, rather than doing what I felt I should be doing to meet society's p.o.v. or my own harsh criticism and fear of missing out. I also made an effort to try to look at things in a positive, silver lined light more so than an impending storm cloud of doom, even if a situation felt particularly doomy. I was by no means great at it and not always a bucket full of rainbows and sunshine, but faked my way through it lol. The brain doesn't know the difference. And yanno what? I eventually became happier than I had been in tresses, despite things not changing much astound me (eventually, some things got way better) -- not because things were perfect, and they certainly weren't, but because I trained myself to be and think a little less negatively by rewiring, so to speak . However, I only realized it was working after I stopped reinforcing the positive and slipped right back into the negative and not handling things outside if my control well, along with all of my stress-induced health issues coming back lol. I started to catch myself gossiping with other gossipers, being judgey, cranky, depressed, even angry. I fell right back into habits that reinforced negativity and was sucked back into detached, desensitized and often harsh mental gymnastics of society lol. I realized later that I had allowed my noggin to become scrambled again in not so fun, Borg-like ways, and let the world and people around me do the thinking for me.

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.

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. ❤️

the steve jobs quote made me think of a book i read a couple of months ago that had a monumental impact on me, night film. the followers of the director cordova in the book use the phrase “sovereign. deadly. perfect.” as their calling card, focusing on the fact that we should live our lives with no regrets, look straight into the darkness and take ownership of life. it’s really impacted me, i even put sovereign, deadly, perfect on my moodboard above my desk. despite being a thriller, night film for me at least was incredibly inspiring

I'm like 1 min in and you can sense that you have a positive outlook (maybe not all the time we are human). You say that you are grateful for all that you have and not for what you want or think you need rather than saying 'what I don't have'.

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

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 :)

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 💖

I've had to learn to stop stressing over who I wanna be as well. It can take a toll. For the longest time in my 20s I felt like I was a failure. My mom would try to encourage me by saying but look you have an apt and a car and a job, but I was like well yeah but you're suppose to have that stuff. Then she said well you aren't struggling and don't have kids yet, then I'm like true but why haven't I met the right one yet and I'm pushing 30! Now I'm 30, and have calmed down with the self criticism. Thank you for further encouraging me as well.
