✨ If you’re at all curious:
• My spiritual practice, Falun Dafa bit.ly/2z49zqz
• If you're interested in reading more, start with this to get an understanding of what qigong entails bit.ly/2u8DXOC
• The main text we read is Zhuan Falun* bit.ly/2t48xJP
*Best to read start to finish in the shortest time possible for the highest benefit.
• If you want to learn more about Falun Dafa and qigong, check out local contacts in your area - there are practitioners globally and in most big enough-ish cities: bit.ly/2E0PL6S
• My friend Chris over at China Uncensored made an incredibly informative video on what Falun Dafa is and why it's being persecuted in China (YT video): bit.ly/2CR9yZQ

Rowena putting on anything up on Youtube makes my day, whether it’s light or meaty. It always feels like a catching up with a friend. Thank you for the work that you do, Rowena. And you are sooo beautiful! 💕
-
So I’m chronically ill and have had to give up on having a steady morning routine because of it. What I try to focus on are they very little meaningful things. Like being grateful I didn’t vomit or faint that morning. Also things like having breakfast, even if it’s just a meal replacement beverage. That’s what I focus on.
-
this was SO good to hear Rowena doesn't love the billion dollar routine haha, I tried sticking to it for about 4 months and honestly it was so tiring and long. The game changer for me was auditing my energy and planning around that instead. Thank you Ro for everything! <3
-
The best thing I have ever done to improve my morning energy is NOT eating after 8:30 pm the night before. It really was a profound difference for me.
-
The first step of monk's morning routine hit really different, I'm tempted to try it myself, it seems like it definitely puts you in a whole new perspective right after waking up, thank you for trying these morning routines and sharing that with us! ❤
-
hi!! I love your content! The cold water shock is actually a DBT technique based on research! It’s great for anxiety, especially as a quick tool for someone having a panic attack. I find it’s not needed as a regular practice, but is SUPER effective if the anxiety is overwhelming as an “as needed” tool.
-
the monk morning routine was the only routine that could make you cry, and YOUR morning routine video was the only one that could make ME cry 😂 I need to be more present in my body.
-
Waking up at 4:30am to think about death is just depressing AF
-
I thought at first that I wanted to try only the monk's morning routine, as it has piqued my interest the most. But while I was writing it down, I realized that it would probably be better for me if I just created one that resonates the most with me—and it's a mix of some of the actions from the routines mentioned here plus a few of my usual. Thanks, Rowena! This is really helpful to me. :) 💕
-
Thinking about death I think is the most powerful one, because it makes you reflect on what you would do differently and its easy to see what you may change if you actually had years to live, I was thinking about it with the video and it was...intense.
-
That monk really went straight for the jugular!
-
Three books that are good for this are "The 5AM Club", "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels" and "The Body Keeps The Score". I recommend getting those three in combo, amz might have them. It's so important to build a morning routine to preemptively manage anxiety. It took me a while but I now have a good one and it's still evolving.
-
In the embrace of community, we find the rhythm of slow living, where moments are savored, and connections are cherished. Thank you dear
-
could you maybe do one where its a bedtime routine? Also talk about getting out of bed/ stay out of bed <3
-
2:37 just wanna say that even if it’s not “sunny” there’s still sunlight filtering through the clouds that is very good for you & your biorythm!!! Sunlight does way more than provide vitamin D, it actually has like 20+ benefits, so even of the sun is behind the clouds it’s a good thing to go outside and take in some daylight:)
-
I have been putting off watching your videos for a while because I know I’ve been slacking on my self care for too long and I thought watching your content would make me feel guilty for everything I’m not doing but today I woke up and told myself “this is enough, you’re in a funk and you need to get out of it” and the first thing I did was go to your channel and watched this video and these morning routines seem actually doable and beneficial. So thank you, definitely going to try this tomorrow morning ❤
-
This video could not have come at a better time! I am trying to wake up early for work and I was looking up videos to set a morning routine!! Thank you for making this video :)
-
Rowena I have loved you and your videos for YEARS and it’s so refreshing whenever you post. It feels like I’m safe again yk? <33 love youuuu
-
you don’t understand how exited i am for this video. i first started watching rowena in 2019, and she has changed my life!!
-
Ah Rowena i owe you so much! You helped me start my self development journey in 2020 with your journalling video and i always love coming back to your channel to see how you navigate through life. It helps me immensely as a 21 year old who doesnt really know what’s going on haha
