You Can [ Motivational Support ASMR ]

You can quit any number of habits that you feel are doing you more harm than good, like I and many others have. You can maintain a healthier lifestyle whether it's eating better and/or exercising more. You can find a better job or even your very first one. You can leave an unhealthy relationship or find someone to experience your first relationship. You can try to work on making your dream or passion a reality. You can do all these and any other number of things that are realistically achievable and attainable.

But what you can't do is give up, take on a defeatist attitude, become complacent, or be a stone in the river of life as the waters of time pass you by, and expect things to change or go your way.

You must become a catalyst for change in your own life.

As a prime example, and as I have failed to mention in this video, there are individuals who face their own challenges that "can", and "did", such as Merlene Davis and Sujeet Desai who have Down Syndrome. I'm sure with a little research you can find many more inspiring individuals with their own stories just like them.

Yes, sometimes it's easier said than done. No one said life is easy. Or even fair. Especially when it comes to the health of our minds and bodies and external sources. There are no guarantees in this life. But as the old saying goes: it is better to have tried and failed, than to have not tried at all.

Good luck in whatever endeavors you are embarking on. I wish you my personal best as you navigate the road of life.

What is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium.

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.

ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.

Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
