I'm not in a place right now where I can put the advice in these videos into practice, but I still watch them and bookmark them for later when I am ready to unpotato myself. For now, they're great to watch even when i don't do anything with them, because they make me smile.
Always grateful for your videos, Rowena! Just started my master's degree in September and spent most of it at home lol which I thought was going fine, I felt on top of it and not too impacted because I live far away from campus and I'm good with not being social so it felt like I got the time spent on public transport back to study more. Semester ended three days ago and I've been crying, potatoing for these past three days... I'm completely crushed by my expectations, the workload, loneliness, feeling isolated. I live with my mum but it's not like we're crazy close. I have sooo much work to do over the holidays and I'm stressed tf out but instead of going crazy from 8am to 10pm every day until Christmas, I think I'll take it slow, break down every task and do something relaxing in between each study session. I can't delay relaxation as much as I thought I could, and skincare/running/reading before bed barely cuts it anyway (esp since I dropped all my personal readings in the evening to study instead hahaha). This video comes at the best time. I have to listen to how exhausted my body and brain feel. I wish I had a friend like you in real life, because we seem to think about similar topics a lot! Sorry for rambling lmao it felt really good to finally get this all out. Love you Rowena, stay safe and have a good end of year💖
Just want to say THANK YOU for this amazing 2021 reset challenge!! I started late, as in I started after 1st of January but told my self I can start new whenever I want to. Following your prompts and writing it all down has given me so much mental relaxation and also feel like I am way more ready to tackle my goals and work towards my dreamlife! I always love your videos so much, Rowena you rock!
I'm impressed all over again how high your standard and quality for your content is. Everything fits from start to end and I'm so happy you land the perfect collaborations/sponsorships too. You're such an inspiration Ro ✨ PS. what also impresses me is your style like... everything goes together so well and is so cute and elegant and beautiful and seems to bring you so much joy (the RJ socks brought me a lot of joy too hehe)
I just wanna say that because of you I have the desire to take my life in hands! Watching your videos is a mood, and its my new RELIGION! So happy to be part of the potato gang ❤️❤️
I very much so value your advice on life and find myself going to your channel when I need guidance. Some of it has really stuck and genuinely changed my life
I recently came across your channel, and I just wanted to comment a quick thank you. Your videos continue to bring value to my life, especially now that I'm trying to be more intentional with what I do.
OMG, this has been me this year! I feel like I have forgotten how to take care of myself. I either do too much, and that feels forced and fake, or I don't do anything at all, and that makes me feel numb and not present. Thanks for the timely advice.
I love your vibe and where you live! I am graduating soon, can you tell me what your career is, your home looks so nice and I would love a life like that
I've walked away from your channel for most the year. It's been crazy in ways I can't explain. I did notice how pretty u look and how much u have grown. Was a wonderful surprise. Happy holidays to you
Oh no I’m late this timeee. Since last week, I’ve got my very demanding job back! (I left in June) So this series and this video in particular are such a big help!
the beauty of the potate: we can be many forms (baked, fried, mashed, candied, productive, sweet, sprouted, etc) throughout the year and that's totally ok 😌
amazing!! so happy & proud of you friend-congrats! 👏🏻👏🏻🥳 this may not be able to directly help fitness goals, but it'll definitely indirectly help it hehe
I love the idea of self-care and figuring out the things that work for you, however I do have a question: I try to add acts of self-care into my life (meditating, reading, resting, walking in nature, journaling) and I adore every single of these things when I do them and I do feel they give me energy and happiness; however when I go back to my 'real life' tasks like my uni work or parttime job all the positive effects of the self-care is gone in a second. I can try to meditate and sleep and calm myself down but when these tasks come back I feel drained of my energy in an instant. I don't know what to do about this, because no matter what I do in my own time, the majority of my days is still filled with dread, anxiety, exhaustion.. How do I find self-care activities that make me feel energized; that really re-charge my battery to be able to handle my 'real life'?
wow. I relate to this so much. It's been a source of frustration for me tbh. Maybe, we might be missing out on something. Like I, personally, don't do enough things for my social wellness (due to my social anxiety), so maybe I don't feel much better because I always feel like I'm alone in my journey? I have no answers for your questions really, I just wanted to say that I relate to how you feel with how these things feel like they're never enough.
i always wondered how you organize all your quotes you are taking out of books or speeches or other content and use in your videos. do you have a system? I do write them down but cant find the afterwards. how do you manage?
Hey Rowena, thanks for the insightful thoughts -- educational as always. I've been watching your content for some time now and enjoy it quite a lot. Do you have any thoughts or advice on how to create social wellness for someone who, due to their current life circumstances or health situation, has no one to lean on during difficult, stressful times, thus suffering painful loneliness? Maybe you or someone you know were in such a position at some point in your life? What did you do? Stay safe!
hi Karol, thank you for such kind words! ❤️ ahh yes I was the most alone and isolate when I looked the happiest outside when I was in college. it may sound cliche and cheesy but I’ve learned that the most important and often times the only person I truly need to lean on is myself. finding that strength and peace within first, and more often than not, everything external follows. reconnecting with old friends, new serendipitous relationships form, etc 😌 for this reason, I created an online community where you can chat with likeminded people on an app called Vibely if you’re interested (it’s linked above). I also made a video recently on the art of being alone but not lonely-not sure if you’ve watch it already I’ll link it here just in case 😊 ruclips.net/video/AGPcOlGbOKM/видео.html happy holidays friend 💕 sending my love~
Thank you so much for responding! I'm sorry I didn't reply right away, I got caught up in holiday activities and a bunch of tedious daily tasks. Thank you for wishing me happy holidays, I hope yours were happy and peaceful as well :) I understand what you mean when you write about finding strength and peace within, it's good to hear this mantra from someone who also on many occasions has found themselves overwhelmed by difficult emotions and strives to learn how to get through them. I'll keep that in mind and do my best. Yes, I've seen your video on being alone but not lonely, it actually helped me to think a little more positively at the time :) I'll definitely check Vibely, it seems interesting! Thank you once more for all the creative ideas you've been putting out here. Every little push out of a potato rut and towards the best a potato can be is much needed ;) Have a happy 2021 and take care!
Yeeey! A new video 😍😍 you make the dreamiest videos ☁️ Advance Merry Christmas Rowena ☃️🎄 also, I just finished watching Vagabond with my family and we loved it!! Thanks for the recommendation, I hope you'd do a video with all your recommendations 😂 much love and more power ❤️✨
Can we get a decor video ? Your apt looks so airy... and you have something green hanging in your bathroom what is itttttt ? Not sure if you made one already, if you did please let me know
i had a dip today cuz I feel like I still dont make enough even though I got a new good job. Preparing for all the expenses coming up with moving but also really want to get into my new apartment. Need to remember how much health affects my mood
I no longer want to be potato, I want to be ✨fries✨
Will there be ketchup too?
🥔🔜🍟😜 I'm with ya!
@@joshshortt9599 there will always be ketchup & all the sauces under the sun 🌞
my goal is to be ✨poutine✨ lets get it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You're one one step ahead
Good luck 😃
Husband: "You are strong."
Me: "No. I'm a potato."
Rowena: "How to unpotato your life"
This actually happened this way. 😂
I'm not in a place right now where I can put the advice in these videos into practice, but I still watch them and bookmark them for later when I am ready to unpotato myself. For now, they're great to watch even when i don't do anything with them, because they make me smile.
Take your time.
@@jax4652 your comment encouraged me. You’ll be okay and thank you for being vulnerable
maybe try with the writing down your day part. That is a great start.
this mindset is great! im excited for you when you do feel like implementing any of these tips :)
it's ok to stay as a potato for a little while. even real potatoes need to spend time resting in the earth before they can start to grow.
*All your fellow potatoes are here for this content* 🥔
and i'm here for you all 💯👏🏻👏🏻♥️ grateful!!
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS! Best title :)
hehe excited to premiere with you all!! 🥔💕

Self care is everything to get rid of stress 🙌 my morning routine gives me life 🧘♀️
I'm so happy, now I'm a potato with a PLAN! Maybe in 2021 I'll freak out a little less hahaha thanks Rowena 💕
Calling mom is always comforting

I love how she didn't even try to pretend as if she *actually* study at 3:28 lmao
I really can’t wait till 2021!!
the tumbnail is a mood~ Rowena is always a mood😂
Love this. Some people make self-care into a chore and therefore completely negate the benefits.
Rowena, I've watched some of your videos and decided to suscribe now. You made me feel good and hopeful. Thank you so much.
Last week really got things moving for me. I’m so excited for this week, I’ve been looking forward to it!
OMG, this has been me this year! I feel like I have forgotten how to take care of myself. I either do too much, and that feels forced and fake, or I don't do anything at all, and that makes me feel numb and not present. Thanks for the timely advice.
Lawd knows I needed some self-care! This was perfect timing.
same 🤪 hope you enjoy the vid!! 💕
wow that video really hit the spot! pun was not intended w food but GIRL, hit the SPOT. thanks
I love your vibe and where you live! I am graduating soon, can you tell me what your career is, your home looks so nice and I would love a life like that
watching this gives me abundant energy ✨
Your voice really calming

YOU ARE SO PRETTY! AND YOUR STYLE *chefs kiss*❤️❤️❤️
I'm just beginning this in April 2021 - while I wish I'd started back in December, it's still valuable and helpful!
Loved this verb un-potato 😅❤️
Ughhh grateful that this video was in my suggested. I badly need this rn thank you! :)
Oh no I’m late this timeee. Since last week, I’ve got my very demanding job back! (I left in June) So this series and this video in particular are such a big help!
was feelin kinda anxious tonight and felt much more at peace after watching ur vid 💖 love u rowena !
I love this idea of sending friends a note of appreciation with those pictures :)
Honestly, I’ll always be a potato after this challenge...so I might as well embrace that and become an even healthier, sweeter potato🥔✨
I do self-care by taking a walk in the nature!
I can say that the content of this video exceeds the expectations of the title 🔥
Thanks Ro! Great job! Self care is so important!
Thank you for this, Rowena! Your videos were part of my whole 2020 self growth journey. Thank you so much for creating such helpful vids
🥺🙏🏻💕 so honored to have journeyed with you on this beautiful adventure~
This was a very helpful video!!! Very thoughtfully filmed as well! Thank you!

Gonna standby for this tomorrow. All here to un-potato 🥔
yess see ya real soon - can't wait!! let me know what you think after 🤓🥰
ALSO WE LOVE A SPONSORED QUEEN
I love the idea of self-care and figuring out the things that work for you, however I do have a question:
I try to add acts of self-care into my life (meditating, reading, resting, walking in nature, journaling) and I adore every single of these things when I do them and I do feel they give me energy and happiness; however when I go back to my 'real life' tasks like my uni work or parttime job all the positive effects of the self-care is gone in a second. I can try to meditate and sleep and calm myself down but when these tasks come back I feel drained of my energy in an instant. I don't know what to do about this, because no matter what I do in my own time, the majority of my days is still filled with dread, anxiety, exhaustion..
How do I find self-care activities that make me feel energized; that really re-charge my battery to be able to handle my 'real life'?
wow. I relate to this so much. It's been a source of frustration for me tbh. Maybe, we might be missing out on something. Like I, personally, don't do enough things for my social wellness (due to my social anxiety), so maybe I don't feel much better because I always feel like I'm alone in my journey? I have no answers for your questions really, I just wanted to say that I relate to how you feel with how these things feel like they're never enough.
This is EXACTLY what I need! I’m so excited!!!
You’re wonderful Rowena, always enjoy your vids! Super insightful, thank you 😌🥰
Here for this amazing content, I was stressing out this week over law school stuff but this helped so much ❤️👏🏽

Great video! So insightful and helpful :') thank you Rowena ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well, thank you, Rowena! Now I know how to start my 2021 ❤🤟🥰
