Prevalent lack of serenity? by GuzzleMuzzle

Have any of you recently had trouble just winding down? Just...slowing down, tuning things out, and relaxing very well?

The first thought that comes to mind is my childhood. Sleepy moments had while doing any one thing; usually something that didn't require much hard focus (like playing old games).

Have you had trouble simply entering into a peaceful state of mind? Considering current events, yet remaining content and lax enough to rest and breathe properly, not exerting yourself in ways large and small that are very forced?

I have this issue. Holding my breath for no reason. Tensing up needlessly, or becoming excessively expressive in all of a minute or less.

ASMR helps to somewhat dull my mind, but I often still feel like I'm far too impulsive.

 

How about you all?

      It's essentially when whatever you hear ends up giving you a pleasant feeling, like a tingling sensation. Most ASMR videos are of people speaking in even toned voices at a low volume, for the sole purpose of letting the way their voice sounds make you feel relaxed. It's a huge thing on YouTube. I only just found out about it early this year (if not late last year. I forget.).

      Not everyone is affected. Some are weirded out by it. I have an affinity with it because of things I've heard growing up from sources like movies and music, and some games (like some older ones - one huge reason why I adore Sega Genesis Yamaha 2612 sound and some Commodore 64 "SID" sound so much). Quiet moments in movies with little noise. Softer or somewhat addictive sections in songs. "Gutteral growl" like sounds from older sound chips...

      I remember a "library teacher" from when I was in elementary school. She would read children's stories to us in her rather soft voice, and it was most often very relaxing (the way she spoke in order to convey wonder and awe... It was lovely). The feelings the children would recieve from the sound of her soft voice fall under the definition of ASMR.

      Basically, it's such a love of the sound of sound that it makes you feel tingly. :)
