- What is work-life balance? Is it a myth or something achievable? How can we improve this balancing act of work and life? Let's unpack this topic I've been mulling over for some time now. đȘŽ Thank you reMarkable for sponsoring this video! Click my link to get your own reMarkable 2: bit.ly/3w1z08n

left you lovely humans a little note in the description đ I've missed you guys!! also sharing the link to check out reMarkable here in case anyone is interested: bit.ly/3w1z08n đ
This video came at the perfect time because I have been struggling trying to figure out how to have an effective work/life balance especially now that I'm working from home!
We missed u
I just want to tell you that your channel helped me so much
Iâm so grateful I can understand English so I can understand what you are saying đ
Thank you the bottom of my heart â€ïž
Your friend from Saudi Arabia đžđŠ
i agree with the concepts in this video. i just wish this lifestyle was accessible to everyone, particularly when it comes to work, and being able to rest when needed. unfortunately, with cost of living so high, i feel like itâs largely unrealistic to be able to sustain oneself without working forty hours a week. itâs just so unfortunate because with societal restructuring i genuinely believe it doesnât have to be this way.
And the feeling that you need to push yourself now to get the job that would provide you with this sort of freedom đ
I feel like it comes in ebs and flows. One week i have my life together and then next Iâm all over the place. I love that you take the time to have grace with yourself and redefine work life balance. Definitely taking a page from your book đ
I see u everywhere đ
đ lol
I see u everywhere lol
THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS

For a while I had been struggling with the guilt around work and personal life. Since I am still actively searching for a career I feel passionate and excited for, a lot of times I will feel as if I'm wasting my life away when I am at work. On the other hand, outside of work made me feel like I should be ashamed that I am not making money or working hard or "correctly using my time".
Only recently I have been able to allow my time out of work to not let me feel guilty. I tell myself that I deserve a break, no one works 24/7, even if they enjoy their career. A lot of times I feel like this is a taught mindset, and I'm not sure why. Why are we raised to put our jobs above everything else, even over top of health at times? I love this video because harmony is what I wish to strive for over perfection.
Hi Rowena! I have a book recommendation that would be an interesting addition to your conversations around burn out, systems, and productivity. It's called "Laziness Does Not Exist" by Dr. Devon Price. This book would at an interesting perspective to productivity videos on your channel and conversations on Vibely because it addresses the external systems that impact our work-life balance.
As always, thanks for such a thoughtful video!
I've just been following my flow of energy; understanding what recharges me and drains me. I need to be more realistic about the seasons of life what I've experienced, currently living through and future seasons that will come from my routines, hobbies, rituals and everything else that matters or just needs to get done.
I am so excited to finally be able to only work and not do school for 3 months so I can get my sh*t together. I can't wait to be able to get everything done and go camping every other weekend without feeling guilty. Thank you, Rowena for helping me on this journey to achieving harmony!
I have a feeling this is a common feeling that a lot of people (including myself) are feeling đ„ș We shall embrace all seasons đ«¶đŒ
Oh Rowena Iâve been watching you since before the pandemic and I used to always come back for your âget your life back together with meâ videos and I used to think how many of these you used to do bc of how burnout you felt and Iâve been watching your growth and how you have found this work life harmony balance that Iâm so happy for you and excited to share the journey with your channel as Iâm entering my 20s â€ïžđ«¶đœ so grateful for your wisdom â€ïž
Hey, you are living life! So happy for you and so grateful that I discovered you and Vibely! đ
iâm happy youâre back and loved the video đ€đ
I have a remarkable too! For 2 years now. I mainly use it for school but I find that I really like journaling in it. Review please whenever you feel like youâve had a good amount of time with it.
Sending love thank you for your videos. They remind me to stay grounded and be consistent with whatever I do because growth in whatever capacity comes from a consistent input of anything (energy/passion/time/effort/etc)
When your favourite human drops a video when you need it the most!!! Thanks Rowenađđđđ
Needed this. Thankyou rowena â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž

I need this! đđ Thank you, Rowena! đž

Rowena you are so amazing. Perfect topic with the PERFECT TIMING! đ
Wow I was just recommended your channel randomly and I have been bingeing all of your videos - I feel like you are the perfect voice for me to listen to while I am feeling a bit lost in myself. Thank you so much for all you do đ„°
Omg been waiting for this for so song!!! Also such a right time đ I have my end semesters going on and I needed this!! Thank you universe, thank you Ro đ„șâ€ïž forever grateful
You always have the best videos and they always show up at the right time for me. Thanks Rowena x
Wow!! been waiting for you!!! I was checking the channel almost everyday to see if there was any new upload.. Thanks for being there and motivating us all!! God bless!
This video is right on time! Iâve been feeling like a crazy chicken running from here to there, but I look forward to the down time I have at the end of the day. Itâs hard to be present and âbalancedâ in a world thatâs constantly stimulated so I make sure I have at least a few hours to myself to veg.
One of your best videos ever. I love the vibe. Really nice to see you happy. Take your time. No rush â€
Oh my god! I've missed you, Roooo! I am already decided that I'll take a socmed break and I checked on your channel cuz I need some convincing to prioritize my mental health and you never disappoint! Ilysm!
That little moment at 5:52 where you see Jams again made my little heart melt haha I was supposed to see my boyfriend who's studying med school abroad this week, but plans changed and we have to wait another 6 months till we see each other again. Glad to you see you guys happy and looking forward to having that same reaction with my own person soon
I missed you! So happy to see you again
omg happy to see you back!!
Love this format of video đ„°
Thank you Rowena for your videos. It helps me a lot to stay focused and go on with my day. Such a blessing! đâșïž
Work-Life harmony makes so much sense. I think the word balance has such pressure on it like everything needs to be 50-50 but life just doesn't work like that and the word harmony gives such a peaceful and accepting feels. I love it. It just simply accepting that there will be days that work will be consuming but what's important is how we will be taking care of ourselves in those times. And wherever I am or whatever I am doing, being present is the most important thing.
Thank you for this video. I'm really curious for your next one!
Thank you for this video Rowena! I love the idea of swapping out "balance" for "harmony"; just the language change made me rethink a little bit and pointed to why I've been feeling so stressed lately. I also loved how so much ties together- the idea of harmony with the idea of deep work and deep rest, of not sweating the small stuff. Thank you again for your videos!
This video came at the perfect time đ I think April has been particularly busy for a lot of people and this was such a lovely reminder that what defines good work life balance isnât set in stone. Looking inward and figuring out what your body and mind needs is always a learning and growing process :) missed your videos Rowena!
Okey let's take a moment we all to appreciate that we have Rowena's videos in our lives
I feel like i love your videos more than ever, its been more natural and resonates more with me, a normi who is trying her best to balance
The way I have been coming back to your channel constantly to check if you've posted and I missed out ;-;
Welcome back!! :) :)
also canât wait for the day u guys get married
Oh yaaaaay rowena videoooo
Yaaaay...the 1st...I was waiting desperately for a video from u Rowena! Missed youđ„°â€ïž
SHE'S BACK! So happy to see your smiling face again and can't wait for all the content to come. P.S. Voice hugs is my safe space
Glad you're back but hope you enjoyed a much well deserved break :)
So happy to this this upload :)
Missed you Rowena âșïžđ„č
Amazing videoâ€ïž We ALL need to be KIND to ourselves. Sometimes there's so much pressure to have it all- Work, relationships, fitness, hobbies etc etc. Sadly some people are stuck in jobs they hate because they have rent to pay and mouths to feed. Finding balance wont be easy but it's something we should all try!
Very similar to the harvesting method in Rory Vadenâs book Take the Stairs! Great video!
We missed you too! Glad youâve taken time for yourself, though! Welcome back!
The LA home gives me such nostalgia for some of the early Rowena videos. :)
Missed your videos â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Another lovely video Rowena đ„° I fully support you making less videos in order to prioritise whatâs important to you! So Iâve enabled notifications for your videos, just in case the algorithm doesnât show me them as much đ thank you for your wonderful content
So true. Most people work so hard so we need to destress
I loved ur sneeze đ€§
Love this one
this video makes me define balance and harmony
I missed u beautiful! Amazing content as usual âš Hugs from Brazil đ§đ·
Definitely harmony! Your boyfriend Filming for you đđ + your friendsâ house was soo nice.
Thanks for the video
You've been gone for too long...good to have you backđŠ

Extraordinary Much better Fabulous My goodness, how impressive!
Lol, the ending! đ€Ș
"good morning.. good morning.. "đ¶đ
Love it
we love you deeply, ro
roro and jams has such a nice and healthy relationship and that it makes me giddy when i see them on the video because my brain is like, "hey, that's the kind of relationship that you want" fr jams is like the joe alywn to roro's taylor swift
Great content
To be honest, I giggled a little at the end. Nose swabs ARE hard, but you get used to them! I've done one at least every two weeks since school started in September.
1:59 explains it perfectly
So nice
What's your Jo Malone fragrance..!?!?
I'm in love with Wood Sage and Sea Salt.. And I don't have a full sized bottle yet.. =(
Hi Rowena, I am considering to try some the Vitamine B and fish oil Omega3, do you have any recommendation fo the products that you have tried? Thank you so much.
Best wishes
Emily
Amazing
Sending you lots of love from brazil
Like your outfit

ahh I can't believe ya met up w Alivia...we were in the same orientation group for college (tbh idk if she remembers me lol), & I wanted to compliment her outfit but I was too shyy....so crazy how small the world is đ
can you talk about things that can make one happier, I have been struggling with depression for a while. Its gotten better, but i havent been feeling happy ?
Are you going ot do the next part of the star sign series? I've been waiting half a year to find out my one!! :)
Can anyone please tell what spread is on that black and white toast so o can try and recreating it myself
This was so beautiful and comforting to watch â€ïž i already shifted my mindset towards ''harmony'' because it's much more realistic for us humans than the crazy balance we're chasing..thank you so much Rowena â€ïž and i can't wait to see the upcoming videos đ
bookstar!!! ventura blvd!!! please come back soon and do a meet up â€ïž
Great
Good to see you back, but never want you apologising for breaks, how will you return with all your wisdom to share, if you don't spend time exploring and experiencing?! Sending love from the UK đ»
