  • 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. 🪴 Thank you reMarkable for sponsoring this video! Click my link to get your own reMarkable 2: bit.ly/3w1z08n
    It's been an unintentional while my friends 💗 hopefully this video can help catch you guys up on why I was away for a little, where I've been, and what my mental state has been like. All I'll say is: there are lots of exciting new content (here + on IG!!) and collabs coming. 😜 I've missed you guys, I'm forever grateful for you guys, and I hope you've all been thriving & living your best lives! Sending all my love!!! x

    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 it’s largely unrealistic to be able to sustain oneself without working forty hours a week. it’s just so unfortunate because with societal restructuring i genuinely believe it doesn’t have to be this way.

    • @jillybeann41

    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.

  • @ttmoore8750
    @ttmoore8750 2 года назад +7

    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.

  • @mtritz5193
    @mtritz5193 2 года назад +13

    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 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!

  • @milis2002
    @milis2002 2 года назад +13

    Oh Rowena I’ve been watching you since before the pandemic and I used to always come back for your “get your life back together with me” videos and I used to think how many of these you used to do bc of how burnout you felt and I’ve been watching your growth and how you have found this work life harmony balance that I’m so happy for you and excited to share the journey with your channel as I’m entering my 20s ❤️🫶🏽 so grateful for your wisdom ❤️

    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!

    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)

    This video is right on time! I’ve 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. It’s hard to be present and “balanced” in a world that’s constantly stimulated so I make sure I have at least a few hours to myself to veg.

  • @beckyjohnston6456
    @beckyjohnston6456 2 года назад +4

    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!

Finding balance wont be easy but it's something we should all try!
