(no music) Moving things | Let me bore you to sleep #1317 | 3rd April 2025

Hello, hello, oh hello. Welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name's Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep on Thursday the 3rd of April 2025. That's 03-04-2025. The correct way to write it.

Anyway, hope you are. It's been quite a busy day. Yeah, it's been quite a busy week.

Really. The last three days I've been, well, I've been making recordings every day this week, which is pretty good. Pretty, pretty good, I suppose.

Let's have a look. Let me, let me have a look. I know I did Monday.

So, okay, so this week so far, without a break, how many recordings I've done, I did Sunday, I did Monday, I did Tuesday, and I did Wednesday, and today's Thursday. It sounds like a, like a really crap children's program, isn't it? First of all, then this Sunday, then there's Monday, then there's Tuesday, and then there's Wednesday. What's next, boys and girls? Can you, can you, can you guess what's the next day of the week's coming up tomorrow?

Yeah, sound a bit weird.

So I thought I'd do something a little bit different, because you know, I like to mix things up slightly. So what I'm going to ask you to do, because basically, this is a sleep recording, you know, Let Me Bore You To Sleep. I know some people perhaps want to hear what I've got to say.

And some people really don't want to hear what I've got to say. And they just want me to bore you to sleep straight away. Get on with it, monkey boy, which is fine.

What I thought we could do is mix, do a little mix, mix and match a little bit of, you know, a little bit of artwork, a little bit of copy and paste. I don't know what I'm talking about. But yeah, do something a little bit different.

So I'm going to intertwine with, you know, just talking about what's happened today, not really much, but something I'll probably mention in with the occasional relaxation bit, maybe a short body scan, maybe a little countdown from 10 to one, perhaps. And I guess what I would say to you is if you actually really do wish to fall asleep. And I realise some people might be saying, well, is that the whole point of it?

Oh, yeah.

I'm also company. I'm also someone to listen to. Hopefully a friendly voice.

I'm a friendly voice. Yeah. Listen to me.

I'm friendly. But hopefully, you know, there's a friendly voice on the other end of, I was going to say the phone, but obviously not the phone. But it can be company.

I could be comfort. Someone to relax to, someone to feel good to, you know, like you can feel you can have nice feelings when you listen to my voice. Hopefully, I don't like the idea that there's anything but nice feelings.

I mean, it could be just equanimous or whatever, where you don't really neither here nor there. Like, I don't really have any feelings. It's just some weird English man on the phone.

See, I'm not on the phone. I've got this idea of being on the phone for some reason. Can't even remember the last time I was on the phone.

Oh, yes. A few hours ago. So I was thinking for those that really, really, you know, this, you'd like to fall asleep.

And you're not really in the mood to listen to my blibba blabba for too long. And for those that find me just normally just find me just way too interesting. I'm sure there's nobody out there that feels that way.

You never know. You know, my stories are too invigorating and stimulating. And like, you know, you're on the edge of your bed listening because you just I don't know, maybe you need to go to do a poo.

I don't know. So I don't know why. So I'm gonna do something a little bit different.

And I'm not going to talk about how I'm going to do something different right away through to the end of the recording and then forget about having done something different. Although that is a possibility, to be fair. Because I never know what I'm going to talk about.

Never know. Apart from when I do know, I mean, there are times when I do know, as far as I don't know, if I'm going to talk about a specific thing, then I will know roughly the ballpark of where I'm kind of aiming my attention. But that's about it.

Really, I don't necessarily when I never know what's going to come out of my mouth. Things just pop out like a just like a ping pong show. But out of my mouth.

I mean, like, okay, moving on. So yeah, I was thinking what I'm going to ask you to do is try and stay awake. This is a this is a tested and tried tested on say tested normally say tried and tested because I just said try and stay awake.

I thought I'd say tested first, it doesn't quite work. So tried and tested technique. Because the more you try and stay awake, which is the opposite, it goes against what we would normally do.

You know, it's almost how you know, I don't want to try and stay awake. I want to go buh-byes. Well, just humour me, humour me.

So there won't be it won't be completely silent as always. Because Vinnie's in the background just plodding around, looking for something to be mischievous with. Currently, there's no background garden.

The garden dwellers are not shouting and stuff at the moment. So that's nice. They've been at it most of the day.

So there's been noisy in this building today, because there's been my neighbour's kitchen has been put in, or rather my neighbour's kitchen has been ripped out today. And then another neighbour had music on probably just to cover up that noise, because they were up and down the stairs about 1000 times. So it's, it's been fairly heary.

Lots of things to hear. So I mean, it's up to you if you want to try to keep your eyes open and try to stay awake. It's up to you.

I mean, you can close your eyes and try and stay awake. Yes, you know, again, it's up to you. I mean, trying to keep your eyes open.

I don't mean that in a sense of straining your eyes, because that's no good. Plus, if you're listening to me, hopefully, you know, you'll, as I say at the beginning of every recording, only listen when you can safely close your eyes. So if you are defying my rule, and doing something you shouldn't be doing whilst listening to this, something where you need your eyes open, then I say first, just turn this off now.

Okay. Right. Thank you very much.

Because this is, I'm going to be really focusing on sending you Yeah, I wish I snored like that. I sound like a hippo giving birth. I do when I'm, I don't know why hippo sounds like giving birth.

But I imagine it's not quiet. I don't know why. You know, sometimes you just think that wouldn't be quiet.

You definitely wouldn't need to tiptoe around in case the hippo heard you, because the hippo is going to be too busy making their own noise. They're not going to hear anything over that. Again, it's just a guess.

I've never actually really been near a hippo. Never seen one given birth. Weird visual really, isn't it? For some reason, I've started to think of some Disney cartoon, where the hippos dancing around in a kind of weird dress, for some reason, and a tiara.

So I'm gonna start off, let's do a little body scan. So I'm just going to ask you to focus on different parts of your body. And none of these little intersections are going to last long, right? So I'm just going to ask you to focus on your forehead.

So you don't want to try and cause your forehead to be relaxed. You're not going to try and cause your eyes that you're now focusing on to, you know, be relaxed and loose. Because that just happens naturally.

As you focus on your jaw, your mouth, your neck, your shoulders, your arms and your hands, your fingers, then moving all the way down your spine, whole of your back, down over your buttocks and down the back of your legs. Now moving down your chest and your stomach. And moving down the front of your legs all the way down to your feet, your toes, the bottoms of your feet.

Right. So just little intersections like that, where you can, I mean, you may choose to continue with those feelings and those focuses on noticing how relaxed you feel. Even though I'm not asking you to feel relaxed.

But sometimes it can just be nice, you know, it's like it happens naturally. That's all. I mean, I like to think that it happens naturally anyway, when you listen to these recordings, because that is part of what I do here.

I mean, really, even though I do call them Let Me Bore You To Sleep, I could just as well give them a much longer title. Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Let me let me bore your and let me bore your anxiety away.

Let me bore you into relaxation. Let me bore your chronic pain, reduce that away. And, you know, it could be a really long title.

And I like the idea that these recordings, perhaps can be useful for all that stuff. If for no other reason, other than being a distraction. Sometimes just a distraction is enough to have a positive effect on our body and our minds.

And that slowing down of your brain kind of happens anyway, slowing down of your mind happens naturally. Because especially I think, when you're listening to this recording, listening to my super exciting voice, it's probably not that stimulating in a way where it would get your mind like racing around like, oh, it's possibly the opposite to that. And when you're focusing on my words, even though you may find that your mind is kind of drifting off.

I mean, my mind drifts off, so I can't exactly complain, can I? Like, I can't believe it, you should be listening to me. Why is your mind drifting? Then I remember, well, my mind drifts probably about 70% of the time when I'm talking. So, well, I think it's natural, really, for our minds just to slow down.

My mind is pretty much slow most of the time. I sometimes think I'm just moving in slow motion. So today was weird.

I, not the last three days, really, I don't know if I mentioned it. But my neighbours, so he's having a new kitchen, it started today. So I spoke to him on Monday.

And I said, I'll help you move your stuff out of your kitchen, because everything, the kitchen has to be completely empty before they get there on Thursday, which is today. So I say to him, I'll come around tomorrow afternoon, and I'll help you move some of the stuff. I mean, he'd already started.

So I got there Tuesday afternoon, he'd already started to move some stuff. And there was way more things that I thought there would be. He had cupboards that haven't been touched.

I mean, I'll give you an idea, there was, there was a drawer with newspapers in, going back to 2003. 2003. And I'm counting them, there was like one, two, three, four, five, six, maybe, maybe even eight, eight papers.

And I don't know why he was saving them. I think he forgot they're in there. But he also got football brochures, you know, from football games, going back decades.

So because that's his passion, football and sports. But they were all in really good, they were like in plastic and looked after. Tell you what I did find.

I found a disc, AOL, AOL internet disc, unopened. I mean, AOL internet disc, let me have a look. We're talking probably late 90s.

AOL internet setup disc. You may need to order an 8 watt radio, they're still around, are they? Blimey. Order a CD ROM to install AOL.

CD ROM? Laptops don't even come with CD things anymore. Blimey. So connecting to AOL using dial up.

So I don't know how long he had it. I want to look at some images. Start your free AOL trial today.

Oh, discover AOL for Windows 3.1 and Mac. So Windows 3.1. When was Windows 3.1? Windows 3.1. Windows. Oh my goodness.

Released in 1992. So that AOL was probably late 90s because we didn't really have much in the way of the internet in this country, like in people's homes till the late 90s. It, yeah, and it was, I didn't, I never even heard of the internet until probably 98, 97.

Yeah, 97. No, I had, but I didn't really understand what it was. And I think before that period, it was more businesses were using it.

But that might have just been that I was very slow. I was slow to the party, perhaps. Yeah.

Wow. So I wonder how much it's worth. For sale.

Unopened, unopened. I was thinking that he might have a, okay, £4.63. Maybe it's not worth that much then. Oh dear, oh dear.

Here's me thinking there was going to be, I mean, it's an old one. It is a different, oh, I found it. And it's exactly the same as the Windows 3.1. I wonder if it's Windows 3.1. Some people might collect them.

Mightn't they? Oh, right. Vintage, AOL Vintage Internet Installation CD, £90.99, £9.28 on eBay. So yeah, this is not going to be, yeah, it's not a lottery win.

Put it this way. Never mind. That reminds me, the, um, just those times back in, I used to listen to a lot of CDs back then, late 90s, relaxation CDs, things like that.

And there was one, what was her name? Meryl. Meryl, see Meryl. Meryl, I found it once and then I lost it again.

It was classic for relaxation. Maybe it was mindfulness. Maybe it was a, I think it was a body scan.

Body scan, body scan, body scan. If I put in body scan, maybe that will help. Redfield.

Is it Redfield? Redfield. Meryl Redfield. Okay, let's go back.

Meditation. The Celestial Meditation. Sally Meryl Redfield.

Oh, that's the one. That is the one. Blimey.

Sally Meryl Redfield. Now this might be the one, the Celestine, the Celestine meditations, a guide to meditation. So that might be it.

All I know. It might be in the Joy of Meditation, a beginner's guide to the art of meditating. Maybe that's the one.

The Joy of Meditation. Joy of Meditation. Sally Meryl, I think it is the one.

I think it is the one. Let's have a look. Okay.

Joy of Meditation. Audible audiobooks. Joy of Meditation.

Beginner's Guide to the Art of Meditation. I'm just going to save that because it's bugged me for ages. I did find it once and I found it again.

Oops. All right. So it's saved.

I've saved it on a bookmark. I listened to it every day for ages and ages and ages. And it might not be the one I'm thinking because she's also got other stuff.

But she's got an amazing voice, very soft, very gentle. So when was that? What year was that? 19... Oh, it doesn't have a year. You'd think it would do all the others have a year, but this one doesn't.

Oh, it's available as a book as well. Oh, okay. Never mind.

Oh, it's time to do a little countdown. Should we do a countdown? Right. I'm just going to count down from 10 down to one.

And I'll just continue with the recording. So, you know, if you're, this might make it much harder to stay awake if that's what you're trying to do. Okay.

So starting with 10. Noticing your body is heavier. Nine.

Your mind is more peaceful. Eight. Not really caring about any background sounds.

Seven. Noticing that you're feeling quite good. Six.

Being aware of that space inside your mind. It's very peaceful. Five.

Feeling calmer. Four. Letting go of everything.

Three. Three. Peaceful and slow.

Two. Your mind continues to drift even further. One.

Two. Continue that relaxation as I continue to talk. Yeah.

So Tuesday, Tuesday what I did is, so I went in my, as I said, my neighbor's flat. We got rid of five bags of rubbish. Ready for the dustman people to collect on the next day.

Moved a few of his things into the living room and into his bedroom from the kitchen. But what we had left in there was a washing machine that's not plugged in. A cooker which doesn't work.

A fridge that doesn't work. And a freezer on top that works fine but it's rusty on the outside. So, but also there was, there was still drawers full of stuff.

A few drawers, like one cupboard and a drawer. And it was all personal letters and personal information. You know, it's, I don't know, like a, it's personal stuff.

So I said, well you can go through that. Because all the other stuff was just old magazines and, you know, things like that, old papers. So I said, well you can, that's your personal stuff.

So go, go through that yourself. And then choose what you want to keep and what you want to chuck out. And he did that.

So I went round last night or yesterday afternoon to see what he'd done. Has he, had he moved everything? Had he, had he got rid of all this stuff that he needed to get rid of? And he had pretty much cleared the drawer. But it was still a fair bit of stuff in there.

And I said to him, should we try and move the, the white goods out and maybe put them in the hallway or put them into your bedroom or? And he said, no, no, let, I'm going to let them do it tomorrow. I said, are you sure? He said, yeah. I said, okay, fair enough.

I said, if they won't move it, you know, if they don't want to move the stuff, then just give me a shout and I'll help you move it. Or I'll help them move it. That's fine.

It's none of it's heavy, apart from the washing machine. That's a bit blimey. It's needless to say that one.

They're always heavy. So heavy. Blimey.

I can imagine they feel very relaxed a lot of the time, washing machines. I mean, they do a lot, don't they? Then they just chill out for a few days. Still and calm.

So it's, I'm not sure what utensil or what I would want to be if I had to be one, if I had to choose. I mean, a washing machine, probably not. A fridge.

I wouldn't want to be a freezer. It's a bit too cold. A fridge, I'm quite cool, quite chilled out.

So maybe a fridge. And the problem is, is I think the light goes out when you close the fridge, doesn't it? So maybe it'd be quite hard to read in there. Then you've got the cooker, a bit too hot.

Although his one doesn't work, so it wouldn't really make that much difference. There's the air fryer. That was so handy, those air fryers.

They really are. I've got one now. I've had one for quite a while now.

And it's just a cheapy one, but it's definitely is just so easy to use. And what else? I think that is, oh yeah, the freezer and the fridge. I wouldn't want to be a clock.

Mind you, maybe being a clock, because there's a clock in the kitchen, maybe being a clock as opposed to staring at a clock is two different things. Because if you are a clock, you're not looking at yourself, are you? You're looking out. I guess it's almost like you're in control of time.

Kind of in a weird, weird way. So we did that and there was, oh, what was it? What was this? Anyway, yeah, he couldn't, as I've seen today, and he sort of, they were here quite early, about eight o'clock, and sort of taken everything out of the kitchen. But they left all the white goods in there.

I think they might have moved some of it out and put it back in. And it's probably going to be about 10 days all in all, because they don't come every day. They just, you know, one day electricians come, then maybe a few days later, something else comes and they put the cabinets in.

And then a few days later, the tiler comes and puts the tiles on and, you know, someone does the flooring. So it's, you know, it's probably about a 10 day job. But I mean, literally probably only about a three day job, but like 10 days, because they're doing lots of different jobs all around the place.

So he said to me that his card wasn't working in the machine, his card in the ATM. So we need to order a new card. And could I lend him 100 quid, which is not an issue, you know, regarding, I've done it before, I know I'll get it back, but I don't have £100 to lend him.

So I was thinking, this would be embarrassing. It's only going to be until his new card got through. But I said, look, we have to, let's just, basically what it is, is he gets his food delivered.

Well, and he's got a friend that delivers food, and he gives her £100 to deliver the food or to buy the food for him. And I think he spends £100 a month. So I don't know how he manages to get by on £100 a month.

I really, really don't, to be honest. It's not even enough for a week's food. Might do 20, 25 of that would be for Vinnie.

45 would be for chocolate. So I, he spends more than that because he, yeah, probably because he gets sandwiches and stuff. He gets fish and chips and things.

So not that what he spends is anyone's business, but the thing is, I was like, oh, it's a bit awkward. And I said, well, let's go to the cashpoint machine together. And it turned out he needed 70, not 100, because he had 30.

So I went to the cashpoint with him. And I said, let's just, because it might be the cashpoint machine. It's a new card.

He's only had the card for like a month or two. So there's no reason, because I helped him order the last one. There's no reason why this shouldn't be, it shouldn't be working.

Possibly it's the machine. So what we'll do, I walked up there with him. And he basically just didn't put the card in, he didn't push it in far enough.

A notice came on and pushed the card harder. So I just, I took a run, a run up to it and just pushed it and it went in. And it worked fine then.

So I just let him do what he needed to do. And I didn't need to go there myself, didn't need to go into the machine myself. On the way there, we were just walking down the little pathway on the main road.

And he was talking to me and I said, I can't hear you. And he carried on talking, I can't hear, it's like lorries going past. I'm trying to focus on keeping Vinnie out of the road, because all he wants to do is run in the road, or trip me up.

And I got him yabbering on behind me like, I can't, I can't. In the end, when I got to the petrol station, I can't hear you. When you're talking, I can hear your voice, but I can't hear what you're saying.

I don't know if he thought I was being rude, but I was like, just I can't. And he didn't stop talking the whole time. I just could not hear him.

I could hear him talking, I could hear him. Okay, I'm not saying he goes blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's more me, me, me, me, me.

No, he doesn't. But he doesn't sound like a Muppet. I'm not saying he sounds like a Muppet.

But what I'm saying, no, it's just, I couldn't hear him literally, I couldn't hear what he was saying. Because it's not, it's like a very, very thin pavement. It's not, it's pretty much big enough for one person without any bags.

If you've got bags, you're holding bags, there's a chance that the car will go past and hit your bag. If anything, even marginally in the road, it might get hit by a car because the cars are so close to the pavement. It's not really a proper pavement.

It's sort of countryside kind of pavement. I'm moving my fingers up and down so you know what I mean. But that's probably not going to be helpful as I'm not on the video.

Why don't you do videos anymore? You were doing them, you were so dedicated, but now you don't. Well, you know. No, I don't know.

Come on, tell me. What? I don't know, really. Just, I just, it's one of those things.

Because I did the videos. And if I do a video of me on camera, so I don't understand why. But when I do a video of me on camera, especially doing like, you know, a relaxation session, it gets more likes than anything else.

And it gets more views than anything else that I do. But then, going back to, I say Sunday summary, last week, last, not this one's gone, but 30. Yeah.

Sunday summary this week. Oh, it's Sunday papers, isn't it? Yeah, I get hardly anything on YouTube. Unless I put a video on there.

Doesn't get much. It's just one of those things. I mean, really, if I, I guess if I was a bit more, I really should make more videos, shouldn't I? I'm just looking at the stats and it's embarrassing.

Because when there's a video, whether it's a let me bore your pain away, let me bore your anxiety away, Let Me Bore You To Sleep, whether it's a relaxation, the videos on YouTube with me on them, get more. And I don't understand that because why would anyone want to look at me? What difference does it make? It's the same audio, regardless of whether I'm on camera or not.

But the ones where I'm on camera just get a lot more views.

And I don't understand. I thought if anything, it'd be more relaxing not having my funny face in front of you. That's, that's kind of my my perspective of it.

But because I started doing videos again. Whenever I start doing videos again, like video videos again back in. Okay, let's go back.

It was the beginning of this year. Okay. It was January.

So I started doing more regular videos. Yeah, yeah, it was January. January, January, second.

January, or was there more? Was it before that? Yeah, second of January. I've got a baldy head there. I do look ever so handsome.

Yeah, before that it was all just images on the cam on the video. I mean, some of them are still getting views. But yeah, it's a bit.

I don't understand it. I think what I do is the as far as the algorithm goes with YouTube. The algorithm doesn't know what the heck I'm doing.

Am I doing vlogs, which the class Let Me Bore You To Sleep? As I suppose just me chatting? Am I doing that? Or am I doing hypnosis? And if I'm doing hypnosis, am I doing hypnosis for sleep? Or am I doing it for chronic pain relief? And am I doing whisper, ASMR, or just normal talking? You know, I think it kind of is a little bit muddled.

Which is not their fault. It's not YouTube's fault.

Because if I just stuck to one thing, like just one thing, I would have more views on YouTube. In fact, if I just said from now on, all I'm going to do is to Let Me Bore You To Sleep, which I kind of love to do to be honest. That's the only thing I really enjoy.

That's the thing I enjoy the most rather. And but then I include let me boy your pain away in in that category. It YouTube, I might just lose all my subscribers on YouTube.

I don't know when I currently got 1546. Now if I just made videos, only of deep sleep whisper recordings, the subscribers would go up. I did one every day.

This is rather this would go up by a lot. Quite, I say quickly, but it would just definitely rise. Because pretty much whenever I do a new recording with me on there, with me on the screen, like a hypnosis, deep sleep whisper thing.

I generally get a fairly decent number of people viewing it. And then the last one I did was a most relaxing ASMR YouTube video. And it's not a lot.

I didn't get like huge amounts of 435 views. That was about two weeks. Blimey 24th of March.

It seems like ages ago. 24th of March. That's that's only a few days ago, isn't it? 24th of March.

Blimey 24th of March. It's just over a week ago. It feels like weeks and weeks and weeks.

So yeah, that one, the most relaxing ASMR YouTube video, 24th of March, 435 views, 22 likes, 100% likes. And lasted an hour and six minutes, 30 seconds. And it's me just, I don't know, talking about something or you're whispering about something.

And then the one before that, when I did the Whisper Wednesday ASMR, that was me on camera, got 240 views and nine likes. But then if we go back, go down to some of the Let Me Bore You To Sleeps, they do get more views if I'm on camera. As opposed to if I do like just a picture.

And the Let Me Bore You Pain Away recordings, not so popular, which is a shame because they're the ones that in some ways really mean a lot to me. So I've got Breathe In Relaxation, 8th of March, 265 views, seven likes. That's not a lot of likes, isn't it? And then the 6th of March, that's a couple of days earlier, Body Scan, 543 views, 12 likes.

And then counting down to sleep, 3rd of March, 532 views, 22 likes. Okay, just going down to any of the ones that are like in the hundreds. Chilling Out, which is Deep Sleep, 263, 18th of Feb, seven likes.

Okay, Windy Body, Windy Body Scan, 290 views, 13 likes. That was the 14th of February. Okay, 13th of February, I have a, I did two recordings on the 13th, no, what? According to this, 13th of February, one, two, three, four, five.

No way, I did five different recordings. Increase, that's probably, no, probably not. I probably, oh, okay, okay, okay.

No, because I did 10 hour version as well. Fair enough. That's still a lot, 522, 522.

Why are you hiding? Okay, no, I recorded on the 12th, I released it on the 13th. So I have Be In Here Now, which was the 13th, seven likes, 413 views. And then I've got Increase Comfort, 262 views, six likes.

Then I got Non-Sequential Body Scan, 518 views, 14 likes. Yeah, so, but the 10 hour one got 156 views. Perhaps I need to go back to that, doing a 10 hour version.

Perhaps I could start learning from what I've done. Confused to Sleep, 7th of February, 350 views and 12 likes. Focus on Your Hand.

That's another hypnosis recording, 166 views, three likes. And being in the moment, 223 views, 1st of February, nine likes. Oh, here's one.

It's a bit more. Thanking Your Body. This was 28th of January, 407 views, 14 likes.

I'm just going down. Okay, just see if there's any, there's still some others that are in the double figures, but yeah, that was it since I started making. Let's see if there's any others.

Nope. And if I click on Non-Sequential Body Scan, views. These are the most popular videos since I've had this channel.

It's an old video, but it's number 23, Relaxation Hypnosis for Stress and Anxiety, 1645 views and 45 likes. I should revisit that and just see what it is that I did there. Because that's from like probably 2000, 2017, 2018.

I look less. To be fair, I was pink then as well. So I've just got a pink face.

I wish I was white. Do wish I was pale. Do you know, like Johnny Depp, that kind of paleness almost? Yeah, that'd be nice.

But I'm not. I've got a, I always look like I've just come in from the cold. You know, it's like whenever I go, I go to the toilet and like I've just literally walked into a freezer.

And I walk back out again, like, okay, just topping up the tan. Power cuts Let Me Bore You To Sleep for some reason. 801 views with 15 likes.

I've got no idea why that got so many views. I'm thinking maybe it was a good recording. It's number 913.

It was 28th of October 2022. What did I talk about? I have to check that out. Maybe it's funny.

Might be. Calm mind. So these are all videos from me on them.

Like where I'm talking on them. Calm mind. 808 views.

That's weird. I think the other one was more popular because it had. Oh no.

How strange. I wonder why. I wonder why it's in that order then.

Power cuts 801. Calm your mind 808 with 23 likes. Technically, that should be at the top.

And you've got 672 views for number one sleep hypnosis weekly. 13 likes. That was from.

I've got no idea when that was from. I do actually have adjacent chats shaving me head. Which lasted 15 minutes and 50 seconds.

Where I shaved my head. And 575. 575 views.

How strange. So what we're going to do now. I'm going to move around a bit.

Oh. I'll do a little body scan to do and I'll move on and I'll tell you some more of these stats. Little body scan.

This time I'm just going to move. A little bit more random with the body parts. Again, it's only going to be short.

I'll fight for eight. I've got no choice. I like to focus just on your hands.

Now focus on your knees. Focus on your chest. Focus on your eyes.

Maybe your right eye first. Then your left eye. Focus on your feet.

And your toes. Or you can just focus on parts of your legs. Focus on your back.

Focus on your the back of your neck. I like to move my head around a little bit. Just generally really.

Just one of my little hobbies. I was hoping to turn it into a career but just couldn't find a job doing it. When you consider how heavy the head is.

The neck is pretty amazing. Supporting the weight of your head. And the balance.

It's an amazing, amazing thing. The neck. I'm not here to big up the neck.

All different parts are great. I just have a little bit of affection for the neck. You could say I'm a neck man.

A neck man. I've got to be the first person to ever say that. Oh, I just love ears.

I love ears as well. Ribs. Mmm.

I'll tell you what I like to do. This is something, again I'm not trying to get you to relax or feel calm and loose. Now, there's a weird thing that I, it's not weird really, but I like to just, there's a space.

I would say it's kind of behind my eyes. When I focus on it, everything is peaceful. And there's a certain feeling that grows.

It's, I guess it's a sense of well-being, maybe. Just, you know, everything just drops off. Not literally, but you know, there's no stress, no tension, and it just feels nice.

It's like a nice feeling. And just by talking about it, because I move my hands around a little bit, even though I'm 48% Irish, I think I might have a bit of Italian in me the way I talk with my hands. Mind you, I don't know.

You'd think then, yeah, you'd think that Italians would make the best ventriloquists, wouldn't you? Just move my hands around, pretending. No, maybe not. I thought about being a ventriloquist once.

And I did get a ventriloquist dummy. I've got a video of it somewhere. The problem is, it's quite distracting.

It is. And Vinnie didn't like it. He kept attacking it.

Okay, the dummy kept attacking Vinnie. That's why he didn't like it. It was a duck.

Was it a duck? Or a cat? A duck? If it was a cat, that'd explain it. Vinnie doesn't like cats. It might be a duck.

I can't remember. It's in the storage. I don't know what it was.

But it was quite weird to hold my arm up, because I had to put my arm up, you know, inside it. And just, it was a little bit tiring on the arm to, like, hold it up there for an hour, not resting on anything. It was just, just weird.

Just strange. I don't normally yawn at the end of the recordings, normally at the beginning. I used to do that when I did live sessions with people, with groups.

I'd just yawn. I just had to let the yawns out so that I didn't fall asleep. Though sometimes I did nearly fall asleep.

And I kind of jolt awake, jumping out of the chair and saying, I didn't touch your lawnmower. I didn't. And looking around, all these people staring at me.

I just said, close your eyes. That never happened. I don't never be near a lawnmower.

I have no grass to cut. Think about greedy granules. You know, something like that as a distraction.

It didn't work, but I felt like it was a, it was a degree of creativity there. A slight amount. I'm now thinking of orange peel for some reason.

It's weird how the mind works, isn't it? It's almost like my mind's saying, no more, just chill out now. I think it's my fault for doing the little body scans and counting down and almost sort of sending myself a little bit sleepy. Yeah, I think Vinnie's asleep.

I can't see where he is. I think he's probably, I've got this blanket. He loves it.

Loves the blanket. It's the one that I put over the settee to make it look less disheveled. But now I put it on the floor and he just loves it.

It's so comfy. On the way back from the petrol station, I was with a neighbor and Vinnie and I saw Del Boy, who's, he sells stuff on the market. And I said, you got a fridge or fridge freezer? I said, well, one, but we're both.

He said, no, I've got a fridge or a freezer, but I don't have both together. They're not joined. I said, well, that's what we want though.

We want one that's joined. And my neighbor said, what do you mean we? I said, well, that's what he wants. I said, isn't that what you want? He said, yeah, but don't make out we're living together.

I said, I wasn't making out we're living together. I just say, I'm just trying to help you. He said, but try and do it without embarrassing me in public.

I said, I wasn't trying to embarrass you. I just, just trying to help. He said, okay, I'll let you off this once.

I said, let me off. And, uh, so we left, but then Del Boy had all this stuff to take out of his car. He was trying to sell us his car.

I don't want a car. I want a fridge freezer. How am I going to fit the car in the kitchen? We laughed.

He didn't laugh, but I laughed because I thought it was mildly humorous. I maybe didn't laugh either. Yeah.

Maybe it wasn't that funny. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it. Oh, well.

So I helped him empty his car of all these things that he had. I put them onto his trailer. My neighbor held Vinnie tightly because unfortunately Vinnie's got a habit of trying to escape.

Then we walked home and saw another person that's had the dog. One of Vinnie's friends, Noodles. So they had, Noodles was off the lead, but Vinnie can't be off the lead.

So they were like playing around with each other a bit, but it's not the same. But when they get together, they egg each other on to be naughty. They really do.

They love each other, but there's a real kind of, I don't know, Noodles has better behaved. So he does come back when he's told Vinnie completely ignores me or can't hear me when he's off the lead. I think it might be a mixture of both.

I think, I like to think that he's not just ignoring me, but I like to think I'm six foot five. There's lots of things I like to think. Me, me, me, me, me.

That's the whole day really. It's pretty much done. I came home.

It's now two minutes past 7 PM. I had my dinner. Probably trying to edit this before I go to bed.

It's still light outside. It's just nice. Seven in the evening and it's still light.

I think it's light till about half past seven, which is good. Yeah. I mean, Vinnie's been out three times today.

So he's had three walks. So he's fine. He's had a nice little time out.

So I think before we go to bed, he can just go in the garden and do wee-wees in there. So what I'll do is I'll get some food and watch a bit of Terry or something like that. And then tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow I have Q&A Friday.

Yeah, it's... I've already got... Oh, my tummy's rumbling. I've got... Any questions for this week's Q&A Friday? That's on my Jason Newland's Balling Group on Facebook. I have, from the looks of this, five questions.

Five questions? Well, four questions and then one comment on one of the questions. And which reminds me, you can listen on my website to my podcasts. In some ways, it's the best place to listen, I think.

But that's just my... It's because you can search for stuff and it's every single latest recording is on there. So I go to jasonnewland.com. And it's basically my podcast. That is the website.

It's a podcast. And you can play at a different speed. You can download it, play it, you know, and then listen to it later.

It tells you how large the file is, how long it lasts for when it was recorded. You can go back 10 minutes at 10 seconds or go forward 30 seconds. The speed is right 0.75. So it's down, go down, you know, go backwards.

So it's slower. Then you've got 1.25 times, 1.5 times and two times the speed. So if I'm going too fast, you can slow it down a little bit.

If I'm going too slow, you can speed it up by twice the speed. So that for those that prefer that. Also, it means that you get you get to listen to it in half an hour instead of an hour.

If it's an hour long recording. Yeah, and that I do believe is that I do believe is the end of this recording. I don't even know how long I've been talking for.

It doesn't seem like a long time. Maybe an hour, maybe, maybe less. Maybe it's one of those shorter recordings.

I don't know. I'm not sure. But you haven't talked about anything.

You haven't said anything. Welcome to the to the podcast. Do I ever? I don't know.

Maybe sometimes I do. I mean, tomorrow, the Q&A Friday is probably, it's probably the most focused. Let Me Bore You To Sleep recording that I do.

Kind of, kind of. At least it should be on paper. My tum tum's gurgling.

I think it's time to be fed. Fed, fed, fed, fed, fed. So thank you for listening.

Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy. And please be gentle with yourself. Because you also deserve to feel safe.

Lots of love. Bye.
