- Change your perspective, change your life. Hi qts, it's been a while 💕 Here are 6 questions that have helped me regain mental clarity and some much-needed #perspective in times of stress, overwhlem, and almost burning out because hallos we're all overworking ourselves to some capacity or another (overworking as a potato is overworking too 😜).
Looking over Japan footage from my trip back in October 2018 also gave me perspectives aplenty. I went to Kyoto, Ise, and Nagoya with my parents and my dad's middle school classmates 'was a blast and so cute seeing my dad thriving with his buds.
Took the past few weeks to really look within and reflect as to where I'd like to take myself and my channel. Primary focus: more balance, more margins, and more downtime so that I'll be less exhausted, less stressed, and less getting-my-life-together all the time lol. I've had enough!!! Anyway, excited to bring you guys along the journey coming very soon. 🥳

“We don’t HAVE to do anything in life. We GET to do everything in life.”
What a beautiful perspective. That’s going to resonate with me for a long time.
As an idea Maybe you could do a How to Adult series. A series on how to live life as a adult in a more positive way and other ways and possibly u learn along the way too. Also awesome video content, love how candor your videos are. Also u should have a podcast. Maybe vlog style what I do in a day.
Adult series ideas
- simple cook meals
-simple cleans
-changing a tire simple car knowledge
-traveling on a budget
-balancing personal and work life
-relationships
- sexuality
Etc.
YES
I love how this video was filmed 😍you should totally make a podcast!
Right? It was edited so beautifully (and has wonderful nuggets of wisdom!) 💕
Yeah! She was on the Lavendaire podcast and it was amazing.
@@00Mercredi00 I JUST listened to that! SO good! 💕Two of my favorite people in one podcast, haha.
I was listening to Lavendaire's podcast with her on my way home from work. So inspiring and motivating.
Yes!!
I don't have to watch your video, I GET to! Such a blessing right now!💚
"We don't HAVE to do anything in life. We GET to do anything in life." Wow such a simple concept but so powerful! Never thought of it this way and it changes everything. Thank you for this video ❤️ It's so calming and encouraging.
This is out at the right time when I really need it! I'm literally burning out as I'm preparing for a plan to come out of my comfort zone. This helps me figure a lot of things out.
Sincerely, thank you 💟
you are such a blessing to many people, rowena. i thank God for your existence. 💛
Hey, Rowena. When I just started watching you, I liked to structured aesthetics that you had. I liked that it was well planned out and executed and it was just great. Then you started having a laid back approach to filming, still putting in effort, but what I wanted, you weren't offering anymore I fell off track on you as well as my mental journey. As I grew and regressed and went through so much mental hurt, I came to appreciate this as well. The sense of 'go with the flow' filming that also represented life. Because life isn't structured. What I'm saying is, people out in the world will like you then stop for a bit and its no fault of yours. Some people just need to grow to appreciate the new found perspective you've garnered. So thank you, for teaching me this and being a source of reflection and knowledge when I'm going through my own turbulent mental journey. Also, could you please make a video on self loathing?
Thank you for making this video. It helped me put my life into perspective and realize my worries are actually ‘pebbles’ not ‘mountains’.
I'm crying right now because this video helped me turn my whole perspective around. I have been going through a really tough time lately and this video literally took a huge weight off my shoulders. I felt it. And now I feel like living again. Thank you.
love the saying of how you mention that we can view our problems as mountains or as a pebble. It is up to us to view what we see as conflicts. Thank you for all your inspirational videos. I am stuck at a point of my life where I am confused and lost. But after watching your videos, I realize that there is more to life other than our difficulties. Again thank you so much,
I love that you show this point of view that fighting and inner battles are the part of our life but despite this we can see the beauty in the world and ourselves. I am grateful for your beeing and i am really keen on seeing more videos like this. Sending hugs and love
I usually love your videos, they always help me feel much calmer and focused, however in this one, there's this one huge thing that keeps me from truly enjoying it and it's that the perspective of "you don't have to do anything in life" is completely oblivious to the fact that we live in a capitalist society that will take everything away from you if you don't do what you have to do, like paying your rent, taxes and of course, working, not out of your own free will of doing something that moves you, particularly (maybe because of a sense of solidarity, community, fulfilment, whatever it is), but out of the pressure of earning the right to be in this world.
I'm only saying this to add some more perspective to your video, as I said before, I love them and I watch them as a self-care practice because they inspire and motivate me. I do believe that changing one's perspective is useful and can help us live much happier lives, but we can't neglect the fact that there is a struggle that goes beyond that.
so thankful that i have your videos to watch whenever i get in a funk!! they are so life-giving!
This video came in such a perfect time. I've been in a bad place mentally these last years, letting my depression and anxiety control me and my life to the extend where I forgot how lucky I actually am. I still have some bad things surrounding me that I don't have the control over, but this video reminded me all the other amazing things that surround me too, the things I have and the things I do have control over.
Usually I get mad at myself for crying, but not this time. I cried of relief. And I'm so thankful for it. Thank you Rowena😌
I can't say much to help you, Tanit, but I wanted to acknowledge this comment, even though I'm a stranger. I see you and I am proud of you
I always get so excited to watch whenever you upload! It’s refreshing to see and hear all these ideas and perspectives out loud and remind myself, there IS more to life and it just takes some reflection and interpretation and overall acceptance. “I GET to, not I have to”
wow I was just gonna binge watch your videos because to be completely honest, I really need your guidance and comfort. Thank you so much and I hope you know how many people (including me) you help with your videos💕
I feel the same way. I love binge watching Rowena's videos. She is such a light in this world! ☺️💕
I'm so fortunate to have found your channel when I did. You touch so many of us right in the heart. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I hope to reach this level of mindfulness and perspective along the way 💗
May you and your mom be happy forever. I'm crying and truly felt your words.
Im so happy your channel found it’s way into my life. Ive been struggling to embrace and find who I really am and your channel has really helped me find a start. Thanks Rowena!❤️
I could cry. Really needed this and it was so beautifully put together! Thank you Rowena, always with the insight ♥️
Could not have been better timing 💓 thank you for always putting such beauty and insight into the universe and sharing it with us!
thank you for the well-needed perspective. i needed this more than i thought, im in year 12 now which is the last year of high school and there is so much work to do! this has motivated me to live in the present and try not to worry about my end mark too much. thank you rowena for not only making me feel better but hundreds upon thousands of others. you deserve the world :)
Hasn't even started yet and I already know I love it ♡
Simply thank you Rowena. I appreciate all your videos and find your honesty and openness both refreshing and inspiring.
I am so blessed to have found your videos. They are a breath of fresh air when I'm mentally suffocating myself. Thank you for your perspective
You are truly truly gifted and soooooo inspirational. Your videos have saved my life and you have no idea how your voice is needed. You are honestly a God send. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Melanie McPhearson She has been such a blessing in my life too.
Rowena, your videos are so well made and helpful. You're so wise and you always seem to publish them when I need them the most. Thank you 💕
*your videos never cease to amaze me!! YOU CALM ME DOWN SO MUCH, thank you* ✨❤
This is one of my favourite videos you have made, I loved the content of the voiceover, and the B-roll is beautiful 🧡
Thank you sooo so so much for this Rowena. It came right at the point in my life where I'm truly struggling mentally and pressuring myself. You're always helping in the best way possible. The video made me cry, love you 💜
Thank you for your hard work. I've just listened to the Lavendaire podcast. You did so great. I love your way of thinking and thinking. I take notes in my journal of your "lessons".
I loved your definition of the meaningful life. And I love the questions of this video.
Have a nice day.
This video literally turned my night around. I have been increasingly unhappy at work, and I really let it get to me today. You helped me shift my thinking and have a fun, productive, and now relaxing night. Thank you thank you for this perfectly timed gem in my feed ❤️
Your videos always pop up at a time in my life when I really need them. They are amazing, they help me so much and I'm really grateful I found your channel.
I hope you are doing well 💕
i really liked this format, the video being bits and bobs of you doing stuff, as an illustration of your voice over. Made it sink in better, made it closer to experience rather than staying a concept. Made me feel warm and fuzzy inside :) Lots of love!
You know what exactly what to say to ground me. Thank you. Step by step. Gratitude. Thanks soul sister for always uplifting us xx 💓🦋
Thanks so much for this Rowena! The pressure with schoolwork has really been getting on top of me and moving school in the same school year as my exams and then now having food poisoning has been weighing me down. However, this video has helped and cleared my head a little and I now know that those things are just little pebbles no massive mountains. Bless your soul ⛰️😇😊🌞❤️
Thank you Rowena for making such a wonderful video! For me this video sort of “hit me” at the right time. I’ve been feeling very anxious and lost having just started uni, but your video helped me to get a clearer view of my situation. I feel so much better now! Thank you so much and please keep on making these wonderful videos! 💜 And just know that I really admire your strength and persistence to share your feelings with the world! You are such an inspiration for me and I believe in you! 💜💜💜
This video is pure bliss. feels like we're travelling with you and walking alongside you and having heart to heart talks. Thanks Ro! - Love from Malaysia.
This is a good reminder for me right now, so thank you for sharing your reflection tips 😊
your videos always have perfect timing! the mercury retrograde has slapped me across the face and friday was an absolute nightmare and i really needed this video right now ✨
Ready needed this. Been so stressed out cause of uni lately :( Thanks Rowena ! ❤
I could listen to you for hours your voice is soo calming. Thank you for blessing my day 💖
I’ve been in a weird rut for the past month or so and this really helped me. I’ve been so worried about the future, but this taught me how to channel my energy and thoughts.
Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much, Rowena! Get to watch it again 😊
I was in Kyoto just 5 days ago!!! It’s amazing to see the same things in your video and listen to what is needed so much right now.
Your narrative helped me recall my past and current struggles and reshape them to a better, more beneficial perspective. It was a loving yet honest reminder, and I want to thank you for that.
just in the time i needed this kind of video the most
im so thankful as always 🥺❤️
I love those quotes from Eckhart Tolle and Seneca. Such an important reminder that being mindful and present is the key to contentedness and decreased anxiety.
I LOVE YOU ROWENA , YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO THERAPEUTIC. THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOUR VOICE AND WORDS SINK DEEP IN. YOU ALWAYS SHOW ME WAY. LOT'S OF LOVE AND POWER YOUR WAY 😭❤️
Such a beautiful video Rowena 🥰✨ Not just the making but the things you’ve said. Please keep sharing your journey with us, it’s such a blessing to feel less alone this way! 🍃
Thanks for this video Rowena! Helped me relax a bit after being stressed for no particular reason lately 😅☺️
Thank you Rowena for this beautiful video. These are some much needed words I needed to hear right now. Your videos give me so much hope and inspiration. When I need encouragement or feel lost I watch your videos to find myself again lol 😝
Thanks for this. The past couple of days have been rough for me. Not for any obvious reason. I think maybe I haven't been internally dealing with life in a healthy way. In any case, I'm doing a lot better today, and this video helped me continue to shift my mindset back to positivity.
Much love 💙
you are wise way beyond your years, Rowena. thank you thank you thank you for sharing all that you do with the world
I can't wait to see this. I enjoy watching your videos before i make a video. To get in a positive mindset. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love the wisdom that you have. Having that much wisdom so that you can give wisdom to others is just amazing. I really am in a bad situation right now, and I am starting to wish that I had lived a better life. And with your advices, I am finally paving my way to a better life and a healthier soul.

Wow this video really came in the right moment! I am getting really depressed with school and you really help me with my mental health / self esteem :)
Thank you Rowena
Literally sobbing while watching this, Japan is so beautiful. There are a lot of changes coming up in my life and I’m so terrified of them and that I’ll fail. The thing motivating me is so far away because there are so many things I have to do to get to that dream that’s motivating me and it just seems so far removed that it’ll never happen. I don’t know if I can’t do it without literally falling apart but I’m going to try 💕
so much needed 🦋 thx you for this video !
Thank you ❤️ Loved how you said to your mom how much you love her ☺️
