#98 Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland (18th February 2019)

hello and welcome to Jason Newland dot com my name is Jason Newland this is let me bore you to sleep and I do believe it may be number 98 and it might not be but I think it is for some reason I don't know why I've got that in my brain hmm so I haven't done one of these for two or three days I like to have a little break now and then a little rest a little bit of relaxing time a bit of regeneration you know a bit of recuperation a bit of healing a

little bit of healing a bit of television so only please only listen to this when you can safely close your eyes and if you're watching on YouTube please only watch this when you can safely close your eyes as well as subscribing so thank you very much and the whole point of these sessions is just that I talk I talk to you or I talk at you for you know roughly an hour and the intention is that I just bore you into a sense of comfort I bore you into feeling relaxed I bore you into a

sense of tiredness looseness and you can just let go because what you may find especially if you are a regular listener or viewer of the videos is that as soon as you hear my voice you may have that familiar feeling of comfort relaxation spreading through your body and safety to just let go of any thoughts in your mind and in the meantime I'm just gonna talk about stuff none of which is necessarily going to be relevant to anything it might be it might not be I don't know because I don't know what I'm gonna talk

about so I think last week because it's Monday now so the last time I did one of these was probably maybe Friday Thursday or Friday and I had a couple of days where I was talking about Valentine's so for those of you thinking all good won't have to hear about Jason's non-existent love life for another year haha well well I may bring it up at various intervals throughout the period leading up to the next obvious opportunity to focus on the subject which is perhaps valid but just one day a year but I like to spread

some of those feelings of romance sprinkle you know just shed the seed on the ground that sounds wrong but you know just spread the love the the romance like a like a broken egg falling off a bridge so the romancey stuff's gone but I was just doing a recording just now well before I had my breakfast and I've started this new season of recordings aimed at anxiety called short anxiety relief I think yeah I've only done three so far and I was talking about setting up triggers around the house and around you know where you

live where you work if you've got a shed in your garden and just something that you could look at it and it can be a trigger to relax and feel calm and feel a sense of maybe love even it's got me thinking that my walls are quite bare and perhaps it's time that I got a little bit more in touch with my my child my inner child I think I'm quite in touch with my inner child verbally because I am quite silly especially for my age but perhaps it'd be nice to start getting some pictures

and doing a few bits and decorating this flat of mine but in a way that pleases me visually perhaps so I'm going to look into that look into where I can get hold of some posters and some pictures and I quite like to have some stuff from the past so I give an example a poster of Mork and Mindy see that to me would be just really cool to have on the wall or a picture trying to think what kind of pictures I would have when I was a kid I wasn't allowed to have any

rude ones they were all you know it'd be like pop stars or film stars I think the most the only I can't believe I'm telling you this the only post I had when I was a kid which I've got any kind of extra enjoyment out of yet my parents thought was very safe and it was fine was I had a picture of Sharon Davis and she was a swimmer Olympic swimmer back in early 80s I suppose so there's a picture of her in her swimming costume I guess and I had a I could say I

had a bit of a crush on on young Sharon for a while and I had her on my wall that sounds bad doesn't it I had her on my wall and you know the picture of her because I used to have this magazine called looking and it used to be a it was kind of like a television magazine and used to have so they used to be comic strips in it as well so at one point they had comic strips of Mork & Mindy they had comic strips of apparently Bless This House but that was

before my time because Bless This House was the 70s and that finished as a TV sitcom with Sidney James so that was the reason I know about this is because the film of Bless This House was on yesterday and I think it was from 1972 and the you know I was two years old then so it's way before my time as far as being aware of what I was watching and I didn't watch I didn't have looking magazine or the comic until I was probably maybe excuse me maybe I was eight maybe I was younger

maybe I was seven or eight when I got it but I had it for years I had it all the way through my childhood that and the dandy but every and it was every week I think might be in fortnightly but I think it was every week and there'd be posters of singers like Adam and the Ants or Shaken Stevens Madness I suppose Duran Duran you know things like that wham and as well as that I also used to have the lyrics to the songs so I remember I was in junior school which I left

when I was 10 and I started high school when I was 11 so I suppose the holidays for junior school finished I finished there in and this is summer holidays probably June so June time I think or maybe July because summer holidays used to last for about six weeks so June or July 1981 is when I left junior school and I yeah I left there I was 10 when I left but I was 11 in the August and I started at high school in September I guess and I was 11 but I was one of

the youngest kids in my year because a couple of weeks into the term still in September some of the other kids were turning 12 and I'd only just turned 11 I remember thinking I've only just turned 11 I remember thinking that and the next year I've only just turned 12 and they're 13 then next year I've only just turned 13 but they're 14 then the next year I've only just turned 14 but they're 15 the next year I've only just turned 15 but they're 16 so in the last year because I was at high school

for five years five long wasted years I could have learned something in that time because I already knew how to read and write before I went to high school so I don't think I really learned much at all I could have learned how I could learn a trade I could have learned how to know I wasn't really very interested in practical stuff but you know I could have learned how to do hypnosis at that age maybe I could have learned I think that'd be good to send children to academies for something that they really loved

doing like a I suppose a Hogwarts kind of thing but because they do with they do us who's this who's they but I know that sometimes there are places like tennis academies and football academies where teenagers will be sent and you know they I imagine they get their education there as well but it's mainly about the football and isn't it amazing it's like so you're 14 years old or 13 years old and you get a football team wants you to go and live with them and you know that if it works out you're gonna be

earning millions of pounds a year possibly at the age of 16 17 it's amazing isn't it really you think about it no such money in hypnosis the only way really to make money out of this is if I wrote some books yeah so I might I might do that I'm just trying to think maybe it's time I was a millionaire yeah I'm not fussy I'm not greedy I'm nice it'd be nice to be financially stable or is it the term financially independent so that I never have to earn another penny if I don't want to

and then I can just have fun and enjoy it which is what I want to do anyway I don't want to wait until I've got money in the bank before I start enjoying the fruits of my labor I think some of the things I most enjoy about this work I do online is when I and it doesn't happen very often but when I get a message through or comment I prefer it when it's a comment because then other people can read it but it's telling me how I've helped them but quite often it's a personal

message so no one else gets to read it I think YouTube is pretty good on that level though because it encourages people to leave comments and the whole format of YouTube is that part that's been stable you know the comment section although it's different now there used to be a time when you used to be able to make a video response so someone posted a video about I don't know talking to you know saying that you know they can there should be a sports section in the Olympics specifically for albino chickens you know and you

say oh okay cool and I say well why and I might answer why not seems a bit of a strange request but I suppose we've all got our different needs different wants different longings I'd quite like to be taller but I know that's not going to happen and as I'm getting older I'm probably going to get shorter which is a little bit annoying that's why I like first thing in the morning because or whatever time I get up because I'll be about an inch taller than normal I tell you a good thing to do if

you are you know living a life as a relatively short person and I'm five foot eight so I'm just about I can just about get get by although I am still shorter than average for a man in my country is about five foot ten so I'm a couple of inches shorter than the average um but not enough to make a huge huge sort of difference which is all right I'm not bothered though it's just height isn't it sometimes that's all it ever is it's just height height differences doesn't matter who cares it's just oh I'm

five foot three I'm five foot eight that's nice so which we talk about now it's not a very interesting subject is it height we're all different heights apart from those that are the same height I like the idea of being tall I just like the idea of having to duck my head when going through doorways just just the novelty of it just appeals to me but if you are perhaps not very tall and you want to feel tall there's a really good way of doing it is it doesn't involve high heels or stilts basically all

you need is some uh what are they called bifocals or trifocals where you've got close yeah I think distance was at the top and close was at the bottom of the lens I think so what it did is it the distance was fine when you look at the top for the top you know the first the first half of the lens the top half but then the bottom half would be magnified more or less I'm not sure but it looks like you're further away from the ground than you actually are one might be the other

lens the other way around but it's one of those where you walk and like oh you feel like you're a foot taller it's a very very pleasant feeling depending upon whether or not you enjoy pleasant feelings connected with hype you know because we're all different aren't we we've all got our own personal preferences about what we like to do and like to say and who we like to say it with and do it with and I think that's what makes the human race so mildly interesting at times at times all the time not part of

the time or maybe part of the time but not regularly as often as regular may sound or imply that I've been thinking like should I get a bigger telly but I quite like the telly I've got it's just for things like uh subtitles I could do with probably a few more inches would be nice I mean it's probably not the first man to request that but because I've got 30 is it 36 inches or 32 it might be 36 so if I could get maybe a 42 inch telly and ideally I think a 70 inch

would be brilliant I'd like to have one on the wall and then get the attachments so there's never going to be the attachments always gonna yeah I think I forget what I'm talking about I don't know if the telly I'd like a big telly but I don't know how big I'd want it because sometimes I get that I move my chair I've got this big black squeaky chair which is a recliner and I've had it for about a year two not over two years maybe three years starting to wear out now but there's been times

when I've moved the chair forward so it's closer to the television just to um well just to see how it feels and it felt as if the television was too close to my chair and it didn't really feel very comfortable for me so in the end what I decided was to move the chair back to its original position I say original position but who knows I mean it might not have been exactly in the precise place where it had been resting previous to my you know tampering or ideas about moving closer towards the television in

the hope of maybe having a volume down but also relaxing feeling calm feeling relaxed feeling loose lots of words that I say over and over again and again therefore you too can also enjoy these feelings of comfort and relaxation that I also am experiencing in this moment so it's quite nice to share at times unless well some things aren't nice to share diarrhea is one thing it's not very nice to share food poisoning colds flu they're nice not nice to share I'm not much of a sharer if I'm honest went into a restaurant with some

friends a few years Russ 13 years ago or four 12 years ago and 13 years and I was in there and my friend said do you want to get some dessert to share and I said no I really don't so she said to the waiter you don't want any dessert I said no that's not what I said I said I don't want to share it and people were laughing the other people that get you know people that I was with were laughing thinking I was joking I don't joke about stuff like that when it comes

to dessert I think it was a toffee sponge toffee cake kind of with ice cream I'm not sharing that I'll share a lot of things and I'll devote a lot of my time to helping people but I will not share toffee cake so I hope this has been of use to you and particularly boring but I need to go because I need to go to the toilet speak to you next time bye
