Hi Jeannie, a few weeks ago I commented under a video of yours that I was very stressed because of my thesis and you replied with the most encouraging message! I wanted to send a quick update and tell you that I handed in my thesis yesterday :) Thanks again for your kind words and calming energy! I couldn't have done it without the comfort your videos have given me! I'll forever be grateful for that
Oh, sweetie ! What a great thing to have off your back! But let me be clear - YOU did it on your own. YOU sought out methods to calm your nerves and then you forged forward. Kudos to you, sweetie! I'm so happy to read this and I'm so proud of you! (Feeling kind of motherly here!) Pat yourself on the back! Big hugs to you!
What’s so great about your ASMR is that not only is it soft spoken with great triggers (i.e. crinkles, hand movements, etc), but it’s also filled with your comforting maternal demeanor and wisdom. I love your insight on life. I have learned a lot from you in such a little amount of time.
Jeannie I rarely comment, but I just wanted to say thank you, you have no idea how much you have helped me with my anxiety. I have also introduced you to my boyfriend and his insomniac auntie. You relax me like no other. I don't come from a loving family background, but listening to you has brought a calmness in my life... thank you for being you.
the cats protesting is so funny! so glad to see you're feeling better! 💚 I really appreciated hearing this today. As someone with anxiety a lot of my fears/anxieties are irrational but you can't control the way your brain works! Every day is a constant battle and learning your tools and tricks, going to therapy and if needed, medicated, really make all the difference.
Love your message, dear Pari. Just keep telling yourself "I CAN do this. Maybe not today, but possibly tomorrow." Your brain begins to believe what it hears over and over again. Think of it as a computer - data in, data out. Keep at it, love. And know that you are amazing! XOXO Hugs!
I always love hearing your talks on life Jeannie. You are a tremendously wise person while still maintaining attention and I think that's extremely difficult. You're one of my favourite channels in general now
Your voice is so soothing. Your cadence and pacing make the video almost feel like a guided meditation and it’s delightful. Especially when you were talking about overcoming fear-what a wonderful way to fall asleep!
Oh my goodness. I LOVE the meows, and the kitty wanting to come in. I want a Jeannie B + cat video! Would your cat sit still enough so that you could pet him while chatting? We could maybe get some relaxing kitty purrs as well. 😊
You remind me so much of one of my friends mother. She was such a sweet woman, just full of love and kindness. She was wonderful at making you feel better no matter what. She passed on last year so it's really nice to have someone to give the same vibe she did.
I’m a single parent of a child with cerebral palsy. I constantly worry about things I can’t control. This video was relaxing and also a message that I needed to hear.
@@shay2620 I have a non verbal, severely autistic son with cerebral palsy. I also have autism myself as do most of my kids. I worry about them so much especially the wee man because he's so much more vulnerable. You're not alone ❤
Correcting math homework + different tests while listening. It’s so soothing to hear your voice while working ☺️🙏🏼 helps me relax during very stressful times. Thank you from Sweden ❤🇸🇪
I just wanted to let you know that the way you speak is so much like my grandma who passed a few years ago. Watching you has been a comfort and I almost feel like I’m with her. It’s the closest to her I’ve felt since she passed, it’s like I can almost feel the back rubs she used to give me or smell her perfume. Thank you.
I truly look forward to your uploads. I have always loved talking with coworkers and acquaintances older than me and hearing them tell me their stories, experiences, and life advice. You have such an amazing calm energy that truly helps a momma of 4 soon to be 5 relax for a while.
THANK YOU Jeannie for mentioning about not worrying if your house is perfectly clean for company!! I am up listening to you while having my usual "party anxiety" for a family party later today (it's 3:30 AM EST here!!) I always have HUGE amounts of stress worrying about: how my house will look, if I am going to be judged by my housekeeping skills, if I will miss a cobweb from one of those awful spiders that I share your fear of, if there will be dog hair from my 120# German Shepherd somewhere I haven't vacuumed right, if someone is going to open that "junk drawer" we all have where I am sure one day I'll find Jimmy Hoffa, and on and on and on. Now, after listening to your wonderful soft spoken blah blah blah about it, I am going to force myself to go to bed! Zzzzzzzzz......thank you!! ☺❤
I've been there!! And you know, when I've been to other people's houses and it was chaotic or messy, and the host/hostess was just happy and having a great time, I was so inspired by that! I would tell my husband, "That is how I want to be - 100% ok with my house in a bit of a tip, not letting it bother me or come between my happiness and my guests!" I used to get so stressed out trying to be "ready." Life is too short for too much of that. And junk drawers - I can't count how many I have! Lol! Thank you for sharing!
jeannie you speak with so much intent and eloquence, you are a natural at summoning tingles haha. i can sense your enthusiasm and authentic love of ASMR from behind this screen. thank you for bringing about peace and calm into my life, i am indebted to you.
I actually just conquered my biggest lifetime fear. Childbirth! My baby is now 2 weeks old and it is something I was always deathly afraid of. I still can't believe I did it somehow. It feels surreal to get to the other side of a fear you never thought you would.
Oh Carina! Congratulations! Isn’t it crazy how fast it’s already behind you? I think every mom is super scared the first time - so much unknown! But we get through it. And now, you have a baby who is already 1/2 a month old! Lol! Don’t blink - she/he will be 2 years old, and then 20 years old! Again, big hugs and congratulations! 🍾🎉🎈🎊
Just discovered this channel, and I love it! You have the best asmr voice I know, I really appreciate the way that you not only speak in soft low tones, but you also speak slowly...this is so important and makes such a difference; I love you calm measured manner and also your warmth, it feels so comforting! 🙏
@@JeannieBASMR Yes, I can imagine that's easy to do, most people in our every day lives speak so fast! it's hard not to get caught up in it...but I find your pace absolutely perfect, I love it 🙏
I am so unbelievably terrified of losing my parents. I would love to conquer that fear someday but sometimes it feels like it’s impossible. I just know it’s inevitable and I have NO clue what I will do without them. So scared. Thank you for posting these videos, it gives me a little sense of calm when I’m feeling like this. ❤
I am listening to this video on repeat as background sound for the workday, and it’s AMAZING! I think a magazine soaked in Pine-Sol and air dried might be my new, oddly-specific favorite trigger! ❤
I always come back to this video. I just love listening to you talk and your wisdom. I think about some things you’ve said here throughout my life and it sticks with me. Thank you.
My fear is panic attacks and I can't leave my house and do normal things, I would love to conquer it & your voice always calms me down and helps me relax enough to sleep.You are one of the Queen's of Relaxing ASMR! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The first thing I thought when I saw the tea was….well done Jeannie you didn’t lose your tea this time! 😂😂😂😂 you’re my favourite asmrtist Jeannie and I’m so so happy I found your channel, thank you for giving us all relaxation ❤️
HAHA! I kept thinking, "Don't put the tea down, Jeannie! Go straight to the video!" Lol! Can you imagine if I lost my tea again? I lose my glasses about 3 times per day. That's why I have so many pairs. And then I find them in the craziest of places! 😁
I just saw this video in my recommended feed and I have tears in my eyes- this video and this message is exactly what I needed to hear right now. I won't go into awkward details like a lot of other TH-cam commenters do, but suffice it to say: your message is a blessing and I am so thankful to find your channel. ❤
Not only are these sounds great, I love hearing your nuggets of wisdom. I love how encouraging this is, and on top of that your discussion topics are easy to zone into. Thank you for pulling me into relaxation from a long work week! Your Papillon is adorable ❤
Fear is a really interesting topic. Sometimes it serves a purpose to keep us out of harm's way but then it can also hold us back when there is really no true threat. I've had many fears: public speaking, going to parties, being alone, fear of rejection, to name a few. One thing I've noticed as I get older is even if I don't conquer the fear, I am more accepting of it. I can still live my life without doing public speaking for instance and I don't berate myself about it as I did when I was younger. If I don't feel comfortable going to a party, not such a big deal. I'll stay home with a good book. The world will go on! I LOVE the crinkly water/pine sol soaked and dried magazines! Great idea. 💗
I am in LOVE with you and your channel!!! You’re doing an incredible job and have the best personality Jeannie! My favorite is when you talk about your childhood memories or any past memories!💖💖
Just found your channel, and your videos are so calming! I'm in the UK, and we don't have drug/medical ads for any products that are doctor prescribed. The doctor gives you what they think will work best and you just take it. I find it so wild that the US has these long adverts in print and on the TV for pharmaceutical products, but I guess it's the difference between free and paid-for healthcare systems! Loved how cheeky your cats were being throughout this 🥰
Right?! I just don’t understand what I’m supposed to do with 4 pages of medical information. Crazy! And welcome to my channel! So very glad you’re here! More cheeky cat videos on the horizon! 🙂
Hi Jeannie, change is a huge fear trigger for me. I made the decision to take a new job several months ago, and this video (among others) gave me so, so much comfort during the transition. I just wanted to express what a gift your videos and insights are. ❤️ And I'm loving the new job. As you advised, I felt the fear and did it anyway! 🙂
You are my favourite Mum 😊 you give such a cozy atmosphere as if we were friends in a warm room and talking about our lives the "Blah Blah " 🥰 I am happy to meet you ❤
Hey Jeannie, I came to your channel a few weeks ago when Maria recommended you. I have to say that I've been watching ASMR for 7 years and you're one of a kind in this community. You radiate this warm energy that I've never seen before. Your mannerisms, voice, even your smile is so wonderful. I'm so glad your grandson told you to start ASMR because you were made for this! Spreading that beautiful light into the world is such a gift to us all. Your stories are not only interesting but they bring so much wisdom. I'm 30 and a new mum so that brings a lot of anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. But I always find comfort and reassurance in you. Thank you thank you Jeannie, 1000 times. I hope you continue on this ASMR journey for many years to come ❤️ lots of love all the way from Scotland x
Hey Ellen! This is one of the nicest message I’ve gotten! Thank you for making my day - truly! I’m so glad to have people like you on my channel and sharing your lovely energy! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
What a nice thing to be able to do in life, to relax, comfort and ease peoples worries. Thank you. Early Grey is a favourite of mine too. Love from Edinburgh, Scotland
I cracked up when I heard your cat protesting so audibly during your ASMR chat. The precious "mrowwwh??" is just his way of saying, "Let me in! Let me in! I love making messes and sounds!"
The drug ads are REALLY bizarre - esp. the extent of 2-6 pages! We in Germany do have ads for drugs as well but I'm not sure if it's also for prescription drugs (and it's not over 2-3 pages). Thank you for this lovely, crinkly, chit-chatty video dear Jeannie!
@@JeannieBASMR And what regular person wants to subscribe to a magazine that promotes drugs on so many pages and talks about fear at the same time? Pharmacy is so huge in this world. I understand that drugs help sometimes (very quickly) but I'm more an advocate for mild medicine (Mother Nature knows best as we come from "her"). I'm convinced that we can avoid many "hard drugs" when we live a healthy and mindful lifestyle. I loved the crinkles, your cosy bottom fabric/ fur, your cute tea cup and your warm voice. Thank you dear Jeannie-Beenie 🐝. ❣ PS: I could've sworn that you are a very tall woman - the bit we as viewers see from you looks elongated and slim! I couldn't believe my ears when you said you are short.
@@WhisperingJaneASMR 100% - drug ads are just inappropriate! Thank you for your input! ♥️♥️ And yes! Surprise!! I’m short! Lol! We joke that our Irish ancestors go back to the elves and leprechauns! 😁
Hi Jeannie! Hope you're having a great day today! I'm working on a reflection assignment whilst listening to your encouraging words and it's so helpful. I find that I'm typing in a more engaged manner listening to your videos than when I just try to fight my brain for words in silence and I just really appreciate you for your videos. For fears, I'm not sure if 'conquered' is the right term for me, but I used to have a fear of public speaking to the point where I would be sick but now I can present (provided lots of practice) with just a little bit of butterflies! Thanks again 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this! I really appreciate your input. I'm glad you were able to stand up to your fear of public speaking. I found that in my years of public speaking that audiences WANT to like you. That was a comfort to me when I had that realization. A few butterflies are ok! Lol! ;)
Would you please release audio version of your videos to Spotify ? It’s easy that way to listen to asmr in background while travelling or studying , Tysm ❤️
@@JeannieBASMR in your “daughter’s” last video she talks about it in the first five minutes! you can upload your videos as podcasts :) maybe she can help you
I have the same "I'll just deal with it" approach to a lot of my fears. I first learned it from a Dale Carnegie book but, with your wisdom, you found it out on your own. The way he explained it (very similar to your explanation) is he would identify the worst possible outcome, accept it as the inevitable outcome, and convince himself he would be able to handle it. I love this approach because it gets to the heart of the fear response which is the rumination and feeling of being mentally unhinged. The reality is that, initially, we may be afraid of an object or outcome. But what's unbearable are the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. It's maddening to a brain that evolved to be vigilant to that's from all directions. But what about the fear that your can't see? Our brains aren't equipped to handle those fears.
100% spot on, AJ! It takes some practice (and I got a lot of gray hair in the process, lol!) but it does work and it does help! Thank you for mentioning Dale Carnegie - I have his book somewhere in our library. That would be great to read from!
You have become one of my new fave asmrtists to listen to lately🤗I just love your tempo and vibe, and as so many other commenters have mentioned I love that you aren’t another 20 Something asmrtist! I live in Nevada City and heard in another video you too are in the foothills! I love how long your videos are and have been falling asleep to your work for a couple of weeks now. I love the flip throughs, and LOVE your personal stories and anecdotes. It’s also extra comforting to know you are somewhere in these hills making these videos! They make me feel so extra safe. Thank you Jeannie!!
Aw, this is so kind! Thank you! We love Nevada City! We were further down the western slope - Mount Aukum/Somerset. But now we’re moving back to Texas!
My fear is always unexpected bills. You made me realize that unexpected events or accidents are going to come up whether you like it or not. I have always budgeted but it is always on my mind. I think I just need to chill out and keep doing what I am doing. Save as best you can but don't go crazy.
@@JeannieBASMR I am 42 and I think to myself now why I stressed over such ridiculous nonsense from my childhood through my 30s. I guess when I am in my 60s I will think the same.
I also was very scared of spiders for the majority of my life! In recent years, I've started researching the benefits and purposes that they and other bugs/insects serve. It's taken time, but now I can manage them much better. Viewing them as helpers in the garden or keeping bugs out of your house is something that helped me! Thank you for this video and all of your others ❤️
jeannie!! this is just what i needed tonight! i start my new job tomorrow and you're putting me right to sleep so i'm lovely and well rested in the morning - thank you! you're a gem
I’m so glad I watched this again recently. I had to have a root canal this past Wednesday and I was SO ANXIOUS about it, but the dentist let me listen to my headphones and listen to whatever I liked, and your videos kept me call during it. ❤
Hi! I haven’t listened to you before, but everything that you said about fear and personal feelings and everything you were discussing hit totally home with me. I love that you described how you can overcome and achieve and don’t be held back by your fears. It was very inspirational for me. Thank you!
Hi Jeannie - good question about prescription drug ads. I’m in Australia and it’s actually illegal to advertise prescription medications outside a medical setting. One of the things the drug companies do is advertise directly to the medical practitioners through elaborate presentation dinners and conferences. I was gobsmacked the first time I visited the US and saw drug ads on TV, although I believe the US has restrictions on what can be said/claimed in the ads.
The drug ads are awful here...I wish they were illegal here. Drug companies control so much here in the US. The media can't talk against any meds because big pharma are advertisers. Such a shame.
Only you, Ms. Jeannie, could turn talking about your innermost fears into a cozy activity 😂 it is a true gift, allowing people to be willingly unguarded in your presence and speak of the deep griefs of life so that you may overcome them together. I am no stranger to fear. I most readily oscillate between a fear of being unloved and a fear of being insignificant - and boy, are they often at odds with one another. Being loved (more frequently manifesting as "people pleasing") often requires me to lessen my pursuit of my passions, whether that's to accommodate others' needs or because what I chase after would not be approved by all. I know beyond doubt that diluting myself to suit others means they don't love the true me at all, but I would by lying if I said that made it any easier to stand firm in the face of disapproval. In this season of life, now that I oversee people instead of stand alongside them, I find myself needing to accept that doing what is best as a boss could create friction between myself and my staff, could cause my employees to gossip about me, etc., even if I do my best to otherwise honor them as workers and as humans alike. I've long sought freedom from this fear, and I continue to step further into conquering it, but it's a lifelong process of liberation for me. I'm a person that seeks to solve problems from their roots though, and these fears don't always dissipate when you simply address the surface-level manifestations of them. Instead, I find myself giving into a fear of being unloved not simply bc (as one might assume) I do not love myself enough - though that's certainly something else I'm addressing simultaneously - but because I don't always know what impact this sacrifice of love will contribute to. I've always wanted to leave a significant mark on the world, but despite my litany of passions, I've never known which path or passion would allow me to leave one. Do I do so through my writing, my music, my faith? Would it manifest in my business? Is it simply loving on the people in my life and helping to walk them through its darkest seasons? I'm not sure. If I knew that losing out on a moment of love would allow me to permanently move closer to my goal of leaving such a significant impact on the world, then I could weigh the "risk vs. reward" with each decision, but I still feel a bit blind in the long-term despite my best intentions. That's where I find myself on this quiet weekend night. I actually listened to this right when you published it, but I've been mulling it over all week. Probably not the best thing to do when you're sick (I caught Covid for the first time last Sunday and am still knee-deep in the symptoms), but at least I have the time to truly confront myself without distraction or excuse. We need that every so often. Thank you for challenging and encouraging my heart in equal measure, Ms. Jeannie
Oh dear Jacob! I'm so sorry you got the bug! You got too close to the screen when I had it! ;) You are such a deep thinker and I'm amazed at how profound you can be. I want you to make sure that you don't weigh yourself down too much trying to come up with all the answers - you know, analysis paralysis. Sometimes just shedding all thought, letting it go, setting it all aside for a period of time, etc. is exactly what is needed to free your spirit and live life more fully and joyfully...more easily. I used to try to analyze life...the whys of it all...why the loss, why the sadness, why the feelings of inability/insecurity/etc. that I have, why the inability to control it all...and ultimately, I came up with the answer and it was this: the whys of it all don't matter. Simple, I know. But freeing at the same time. Just BE. Let go and just BE - as much as possible anyway. I came across a book some time back that actually changed a lot for me (inadvertently.) It was called Scripting the Life You Want by Royce Christyn. It's an easy read, but in doing a bit of what he was writing about, I actually created SO much! (Way too much to go into here.) I'd recommend giving it a try. I truly appreciate your willingness to share so much of your authenticity and I hope I don't overstep my bounds with trying to "help." I try to refrain from jumping in with my kids unless asked and need to be reminded when I just start blurting out all my unlimited wisdom. (Lol!) So I'll stop here and just say thank you again for your lovely sharing! XO Mama J
@@JeannieBASMR To be fair, I may or may not have fallen asleep atop my laptop whilst listening to your videos on more than one occasion recently...so your theory might actually be right 😜 thankfully, my bosses have been understanding, so it's just another week of enforced rest ahead of me. Trust me, analysis paralysis and I are well-acquainted 😂 though I've never had a name for it until now - I can't wait to use that term! You're right: the questions all too often cripple me from making any progress whatsoever. It's much more difficult to make an immoral choice when you stop to ponder the consequences, but taking so long to mete out the risks that you make no choice at all doesn't exactly reek of righteousness either. You're right: I'd rather be, be wrong, and then learn how to be right from an accidental instance of being wrong, than to be right only because I missed so many opportunities to be anything at all. I'll keep my eye out for that book, too! Thank you for the recommendation. Thank YOU for allowing me to share! It's odd, because I am *such* a private person in real life that even my closest friends know so little about me, but I think you have a knack for disarming folks. No apologies needed - all the wisdom is welcomed. As someone who often falls into the "mom/therapist friend" role in his social circles, I completely understand the well-intentioned-but-unwelcome advice 😅trust me when I say you're free to speak your mind at any time with me. It's been a second wind to me in every instance I've received it. Thank you, Mama J ❤
This was very soothing. I loved the kitty noises in the background as well LOL but the pages of the Real Simple Magazine did it for me. They were very heavy and you could almost hear that they had been wet and then dried. That magazine has a different texture to begin with and the content has always been satisfying to me as well. I listen to this actually in my car while driving LOL it didn't make me sleepy but it helped me to just relax on a very strenuous commute.
Dear Jeannie, today I woke up with bad headache, but listening to your voice makes me feel better and better ☺️that's what ASMR can do for me. 😉Thanks for one hour relaxation ❤️❤️
After looking the hole video I have to write something more 😉as a mother of four children between 21 and 7 years I can tell you that the fear of them getting hurt will kill me some day. One son drives a motorcycle, I thought, ok, if he gets his car driving license, it will be less dangerous and I don't have to have this fear about it anymore, but now my other son makes the license for motorcycle and I have to accept the fact that the fear will never end🙄btw the fear about car driving kids is the same 😑but that's motherhood, I think. A big fear of mine is about moths, I hate them so much 😩😩 In Germany we have drugs in magazines, too. But without the important facts. They are only in the boxes of the drugs. I like this video so much, magazines with water damages are sooo crinkly and give tingles all over☺️☺️
Oh Barbara, I also woke up with a headache! Sister vibes! Yes, our kids give us our gray hair from worry, I know. It doesn’t matter the age. Little children, little problems! Hang in there…!! 🥰
This video helps so much. I've always had an anxious/obsessive mindset about predicting the future due to fear of the unknown and lack of control. I went thru my first heartbreak last year (I'm 25) and am finally feeling like myself again, 8 months later, but still feel lost and confused sometimes. 🙃 so many points in this video resonate. Thank you 💛
Hi Jeannie, I recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying your content immensely. Just wanted to share my appreciation for your message about not keeping the house perfect. My husband and I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time this year and while I knew that everyone in the family are all very relaxed and wouldn't be scrutinizing or judging our home, I was still stressed about it looking nice. Fortunately, I found this video a couple days prior and it helped ease my mind; your message echoed in my head and I was able to let go of the little specifics and instead be satisfied with the general appearance. Everything went very well on Thanksgiving (my husband aced the turkey - his first time too!) and I was able to relax so much more than if I had been constantly worried about all the little things.
Hello! You know, it’s always been a struggle for me to just relax and ease up on myself and ridiculous standards for the house when we entertain. It took a while, but I did learn that people/guests have more fun when I’M relaxed and enjoying myself. I’m glad you eased up on yourself as well. People will remember you, not the perfect (or lack, thereof!) state of your home. Welcome here and thanks for sharing your story. ♥️🥰 J
Jeannie! This video was exactly the medicine I needed. We just went through a major hurricane that devastated my area (we are okay luckily) I’ve been grappling with a lot of fears that are coming to the surface this felt like the comforting pep talk I needed
What a perfect way to end my weekend with one of your lovely videos! Your videos are always making me warm and fuzzy in my chest with a coziness and a nostalgia I cannot really pinpoint. You have the most soothing voice I have ever heard! Thank you for making these videos for us!
This is my first time commenting and I just wanted to say thank you, your videos are calming but they are filled with interesting information and this video really made me think about the things I fear. One of them being the fear of the unknown and not being good enough it’s something that I’m trying to work on and be more comfortable in my own skin and this video made me feel so validated and loved. So thank you ❤️
I'm so glad this helps. Life is too short to spend worrying about things that don’t matter. I wish for you a very full and happy life! Big hugs to you.
Thank you, Megan! And you just reminded me that my cup and pot are still in the laundry room. I set it there when I was on my way out of the room where I video! Lol! 🤣
I love my ooni! It’s so worth it, not only is the food delicious but preparing the pizzas and watching them cook is fun for the family! Also, I love your videos! Could you please do one where you demonstrate how you pack your carry-on? Not only would it be soothing but I’d learn something too! You are amazing, thank you for everything ❤
Another lovely video, Jeannie. Love a magazine flip through. I'm too cheap to spend that much on something that's mostly advertisements , so rarely get to enjoy them. Haha The protesting cat noises made me laugh. Ours always want to be where we are, too, but I also read somewhere once that when you're talking on the phone(or in recording a video), cats think you're actually talking to them and, thus, shower you with attention. Lol
Hi Jeannie, a few weeks ago I commented under a video of yours that I was very stressed because of my thesis and you replied with the most encouraging message! I wanted to send a quick update and tell you that I handed in my thesis yesterday :) Thanks again for your kind words and calming energy! I couldn't have done it without the comfort your videos have given me! I'll forever be grateful for that
Congrats!!!
Oh, sweetie ! What a great thing to have off your back! But let me be clear - YOU did it on your own. YOU sought out methods to calm your nerves and then you forged forward. Kudos to you, sweetie! I'm so happy to read this and I'm so proud of you! (Feeling kind of motherly here!) Pat yourself on the back! Big hugs to you!
Congratulations & well done… wish you all the best 😊
wow that such an amazing accomplishment Congratulations on finishing your thesis!!!!
She can be motherly to me anyday 😍
This woman has such an eclectic out of the box conversational approach...it'd hypnotic to watch.
Thank you! 😊
What’s so great about your ASMR is that not only is it soft spoken with great triggers (i.e. crinkles, hand movements, etc), but it’s also filled with your comforting maternal demeanor and wisdom. I love your insight on life. I have learned a lot from you in such a little amount of time.
🥰 This message just made my heart so happy. Thank you, KP! 🥰
I’m so glad you started your channel! Life is better with you in it.
Well, that just made my day! Thank you for that!
Jeannie I rarely comment, but I just wanted to say thank you, you have no idea how much you have helped me with my anxiety. I have also introduced you to my boyfriend and his insomniac auntie. You relax me like no other. I don't come from a loving family background, but listening to you has brought a calmness in my life... thank you for being you.
Thank you so much for this - it has truly touched me. I appreciate you here on my channel and am glad you find comfort here. ♥️♥️♥️
the cats protesting is so funny! so glad to see you're feeling better! 💚 I really appreciated hearing this today. As someone with anxiety a lot of my fears/anxieties are irrational but you can't control the way your brain works! Every day is a constant battle and learning your tools and tricks, going to therapy and if needed, medicated, really make all the difference.
Love your message, dear Pari. Just keep telling yourself "I CAN do this. Maybe not today, but possibly tomorrow." Your brain begins to believe what it hears over and over again. Think of it as a computer - data in, data out. Keep at it, love. And know that you are amazing! XOXO Hugs!
I always love hearing your talks on life Jeannie. You are a tremendously wise person while still maintaining attention and I think that's extremely difficult. You're one of my favourite channels in general now
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate this, Carter!
Its sweet to hear how she speaks about her children.
Your voice is so soothing. Your cadence and pacing make the video almost feel like a guided meditation and it’s delightful. Especially when you were talking about overcoming fear-what a wonderful way to fall asleep!
Thank you, Andrea!
🥰
Oh my goodness. I LOVE the meows, and the kitty wanting to come in. I want a Jeannie B + cat video! Would your cat sit still enough so that you could pet him while chatting? We could maybe get some relaxing kitty purrs as well. 😊
They’re pretty spunky but I’ll try something with them soon!
You remind me so much of one of my friends mother. She was such a sweet woman, just full of love and kindness. She was wonderful at making you feel better no matter what. She passed on last year so it's really nice to have someone to give the same vibe she did.
Aw. Thank you for sharing this with me. This is so special. 🥰♥️♥️
I’m a single parent of a child with cerebral palsy. I constantly worry about things I can’t control. This video was relaxing and also a message that I needed to hear.
Aw, bless you and your child! I understand your anxiety, certainly! The more peace/calm you can summon, the better for you both! ♥️♥️♥️
Hugs to you!
I have a beautiful severely non verbal Autistic Daughter. In a way I can relate. I am in constant worry! Thank you!
@@shay2620 Big hug to you and your beautiful daughter!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@shay2620 I have a non verbal, severely autistic son with cerebral palsy. I also have autism myself as do most of my kids. I worry about them so much especially the wee man because he's so much more vulnerable. You're not alone ❤
Correcting math homework + different tests while listening. It’s so soothing to hear your voice while working ☺️🙏🏼 helps me relax during very stressful times. Thank you from Sweden ❤🇸🇪
Aw, this is great to hear! A big hello to Sweden from this girl in California!! XOXO
I appreciate your wisdom, its like the talks I always wanted to hear from a mother.
I'm so glad you find comfort in them, my dear! XOX
I just wanted to let you know that the way you speak is so much like my grandma who passed a few years ago. Watching you has been a comfort and I almost feel like I’m with her. It’s the closest to her I’ve felt since she passed, it’s like I can almost feel the back rubs she used to give me or smell her perfume. Thank you.
Oh, this story touched my heart so much. Thank you for sharing it with me. This is just so special. You made my night.💘💗💘
I truly look forward to your uploads. I have always loved talking with coworkers and acquaintances older than me and hearing them tell me their stories, experiences, and life advice. You have such an amazing calm energy that truly helps a momma of 4 soon to be 5 relax for a while.
Thanks for sharing this, sweetie! A mom of lots of young ones needs all the relaxation she can find! XOXO Sending you hugs!
THANK YOU Jeannie for mentioning about not worrying if your house is perfectly clean for company!! I am up listening to you while having my usual "party anxiety" for a family party later today (it's 3:30 AM EST here!!) I always have HUGE amounts of stress worrying about: how my house will look, if I am going to be judged by my housekeeping skills, if I will miss a cobweb from one of those awful spiders that I share your fear of, if there will be dog hair from my 120# German Shepherd somewhere I haven't vacuumed right, if someone is going to open that "junk drawer" we all have where I am sure one day I'll find Jimmy Hoffa, and on and on and on. Now, after listening to your wonderful soft spoken blah blah blah about it, I am going to force myself to go to bed! Zzzzzzzzz......thank you!! ☺❤
I've been there!! And you know, when I've been to other people's houses and it was chaotic or messy, and the host/hostess was just happy and having a great time, I was so inspired by that! I would tell my husband, "That is how I want to be - 100% ok with my house in a bit of a tip, not letting it bother me or come between my happiness and my guests!" I used to get so stressed out trying to be "ready." Life is too short for too much of that.
And junk drawers - I can't count how many I have! Lol! Thank you for sharing!
@@JeannieBASMR ❤
Hi ,I'm from UK no we don't have prescription drug adverts in our magazines. Sometimes over the counter.ones. love your channel!
I just woke up ( it's 9am in Malta 🇲🇹) but I guess it's time to head back to sleep 😴❤️
Wow - hello to Malta!! XOX
HAHA! Don't let it be fatal!! Wait til you're home in bed, love!
This is my dream asmr 😍 I am an absolute puddle of tingles and also so interested in what you’re about to say next. Thank you!
Wow - thank you, Julia! That is so kind! ♥️♥️♥️
jeannie you speak with so much intent and eloquence, you are a natural at summoning tingles haha. i can sense your enthusiasm and authentic love of ASMR from behind this screen. thank you for bringing about peace and calm into my life, i am indebted to you.
Thank YOU! This has touched me more than you can know. ♥️
Your whispering/soft talking is one of the best for asmr, thank you for your videos
That is so kind! Thank you!
I actually just conquered my biggest lifetime fear. Childbirth! My baby is now 2 weeks old and it is something I was always deathly afraid of. I still can't believe I did it somehow. It feels surreal to get to the other side of a fear you never thought you would.
Oh Carina! Congratulations! Isn’t it crazy how fast it’s already behind you? I think every mom is super scared the first time - so much unknown! But we get through it. And now, you have a baby who is already 1/2 a month old! Lol! Don’t blink - she/he will be 2 years old, and then 20 years old!
Again, big hugs and congratulations! 🍾🎉🎈🎊
I’m due in December I’m so scared 😢❤🙏🥹
I'm going to be going through it for the 8th time and I'd do it 100x over again. It's the best thing in the world. Well done ❤
Awww I love your little fur babies' cries of protest 😹
They're adorable 💖
Just discovered this channel, and I love it! You have the best asmr voice I know, I really appreciate the way that you not only speak in soft low tones, but you also speak slowly...this is so important and makes such a difference; I love you calm measured manner and also your warmth, it feels so comforting! 🙏
Sometimes I catch myself starting to rattle faster than I should! Thank you for sharing this with me!
@@JeannieBASMR Yes, I can imagine that's easy to do, most people in our every day lives speak so fast! it's hard not to get caught up in it...but I find your pace absolutely perfect, I love it 🙏
I am so unbelievably terrified of losing my parents. I would love to conquer that fear someday but sometimes it feels like it’s impossible. I just know it’s inevitable and I have NO clue what I will do without them. So scared. Thank you for posting these videos, it gives me a little sense of calm when I’m feeling like this. ❤
You are a calming delight, and I think you need a podcast! I’d listen everyday!
Hi Ann, and thank you! I wouldn’t know the first thing about doing a podcast! Lol! 😁
I am listening to this video on repeat as background sound for the workday, and it’s AMAZING! I think a magazine soaked in Pine-Sol and air dried might be my new, oddly-specific favorite trigger! ❤
Hahah! That's great! Thank you, Amy!
I always come back to this video. I just love listening to you talk and your wisdom. I think about some things you’ve said here throughout my life and it sticks with me. Thank you.
I'm so glad! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for keeping me inspired & to not give up on my new channel! It truly means everything to me my sweet friend.🥰
You keep at it or else I might have to do some sisterly butt-kicking! Lol! 🥰😁
My fear is panic attacks and I can't leave my house and do normal things, I would love to conquer it & your voice always calms me down and helps me relax enough to sleep.You are one of the Queen's of Relaxing ASMR! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello and thank you for sharing this! I believe in you and that you can do anything you set your mind to! Baby steps are ok! XOXO
So comforting and calming. Got me through a long hard day/night. Crinkles plus your wisdom.....glorious. thank you so much.
Thank you for this, Margaret! Sending you a hug! ♥️
I love your voice. You are so comforting to someone with anxiety. Thank you
Oh dear Ash! I’m so glad you can take a little comfort in them, sweetie!
The first thing I thought when I saw the tea was….well done Jeannie you didn’t lose your tea this time! 😂😂😂😂 you’re my favourite asmrtist Jeannie and I’m so so happy I found your channel, thank you for giving us all relaxation ❤️
HAHA! I kept thinking, "Don't put the tea down, Jeannie! Go straight to the video!" Lol! Can you imagine if I lost my tea again? I lose my glasses about 3 times per day. That's why I have so many pairs. And then I find them in the craziest of places! 😁
@@JeannieBASMR we’d have to have another ‘tea update’ 😂😂😂 we all do it! I know I’ve done it a billion times
It's sweet to hear how much your cat wants to be in there with you! I hope Leo wasn't too upset with you afterwards 😂
He’s trying to muscle in on my gig! Lol!
I just saw this video in my recommended feed and I have tears in my eyes- this video and this message is exactly what I needed to hear right now. I won't go into awkward details like a lot of other TH-cam commenters do, but suffice it to say: your message is a blessing and I am so thankful to find your channel. ❤
This touched my heart. Thank you for sharing. 💜
Not only are these sounds great, I love hearing your nuggets of wisdom. I love how encouraging this is, and on top of that your discussion topics are easy to zone into. Thank you for pulling me into relaxation from a long work week! Your Papillon is adorable ❤
Thank you for sharing this lovely message! I appreciate it! I'll tell Margo - she'll be so happy she got a good comment! 😘
Fear is a really interesting topic. Sometimes it serves a purpose to keep us out of harm's way but then it can also hold us back when there is really no true threat. I've had many fears: public speaking, going to parties, being alone, fear of rejection, to name a few. One thing I've noticed as I get older is even if I don't conquer the fear, I am more accepting of it. I can still live my life without doing public speaking for instance and I don't berate myself about it as I did when I was younger. If I don't feel comfortable going to a party, not such a big deal. I'll stay home with a good book. The world will go on! I LOVE the crinkly water/pine sol soaked and dried magazines! Great idea. 💗
I love this post! So full of wisdom!! ♥️♥️
I love how I get some therapy along with my ASMR! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I am in LOVE with you and your channel!!! You’re doing an incredible job and have the best personality Jeannie! My favorite is when you talk about your childhood memories or any past memories!💖💖
As, thank you, luv! 💕
Just found your channel, and your videos are so calming! I'm in the UK, and we don't have drug/medical ads for any products that are doctor prescribed. The doctor gives you what they think will work best and you just take it. I find it so wild that the US has these long adverts in print and on the TV for pharmaceutical products, but I guess it's the difference between free and paid-for healthcare systems! Loved how cheeky your cats were being throughout this 🥰
Right?! I just don’t understand what I’m supposed to do with 4 pages of medical information. Crazy!
And welcome to my channel! So very glad you’re here! More cheeky cat videos on the horizon! 🙂
Hi Jeannie, change is a huge fear trigger for me. I made the decision to take a new job several months ago, and this video (among others) gave me so, so much comfort during the transition. I just wanted to express what a gift your videos and insights are. ❤️ And I'm loving the new job. As you advised, I felt the fear and did it anyway! 🙂
You made my day!!!! That’s an awesome story! Wow! 💪🏼🥰
I keep rewatching this video. Can’t get enough of those crinkles! Thank you Jeannie ❤
🥰
Your mouth sounds are like crystal chimes ✨
I've never heard that! Wow! Thank you. I never know how the sound comes out until I'm done, and I'm nervous until then. I appreciate your feedback!
@@JeannieBASMR 💕✨
You are my favourite Mum 😊 you give such a cozy atmosphere as if we were friends in a warm room and talking about our lives the "Blah Blah " 🥰 I am happy to meet you ❤
Thank you, dear Bastian!
I sooo needed to hear your reflection about the topic of fear and fear of the unknown. I really appreciate you and your words.
I'm so glad! Thank you for sharing this with me! XOX
Hey Jeannie, I came to your channel a few weeks ago when Maria recommended you. I have to say that I've been watching ASMR for 7 years and you're one of a kind in this community. You radiate this warm energy that I've never seen before. Your mannerisms, voice, even your smile is so wonderful. I'm so glad your grandson told you to start ASMR because you were made for this! Spreading that beautiful light into the world is such a gift to us all. Your stories are not only interesting but they bring so much wisdom. I'm 30 and a new mum so that brings a lot of anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. But I always find comfort and reassurance in you. Thank you thank you Jeannie, 1000 times. I hope you continue on this ASMR journey for many years to come ❤️ lots of love all the way from Scotland x
Hey Ellen! This is one of the nicest message I’ve gotten! Thank you for making my day - truly! I’m so glad to have people like you on my channel and sharing your lovely energy! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
What a nice thing to be able to do in life, to relax, comfort and ease peoples worries. Thank you.
Early Grey is a favourite of mine too. Love from Edinburgh, Scotland
Hello to you in Bonnie Scotland! Thank you for your kind comment!
I cracked up when I heard your cat protesting so audibly during your ASMR chat. The precious "mrowwwh??" is just his way of saying, "Let me in! Let me in! I love making messes and sounds!"
They were saying, “This is our kingdom! Let us IN!!!!” 😅😻
The drug ads are REALLY bizarre - esp. the extent of 2-6 pages! We in Germany do have ads for drugs as well but I'm not sure if it's also for prescription drugs (and it's not over 2-3 pages). Thank you for this lovely, crinkly, chit-chatty video dear Jeannie!
Exactly. 6 pages! What regular person is reading that?? 🤪
@@JeannieBASMR And what regular person wants to subscribe to a magazine that promotes drugs on so many pages and talks about fear at the same time? Pharmacy is so huge in this world. I understand that drugs help sometimes (very quickly) but I'm more an advocate for mild medicine (Mother Nature knows best as we come from "her"). I'm convinced that we can avoid many "hard drugs" when we live a healthy and mindful lifestyle.
I loved the crinkles, your cosy bottom fabric/ fur, your cute tea cup and your warm voice. Thank you dear Jeannie-Beenie 🐝. ❣ PS: I could've sworn that you are a very tall woman - the bit we as viewers see from you looks elongated and slim! I couldn't believe my ears when you said you are short.
@@WhisperingJaneASMR 100% - drug ads are just inappropriate!
Thank you for your input! ♥️♥️
And yes! Surprise!! I’m short! Lol! We joke that our Irish ancestors go back to the elves and leprechauns! 😁
@@JeannieBASMR 😅🧚🏼♀
I love the sounds of you drinking your tea
Hi Jeannie!
Hope you're having a great day today!
I'm working on a reflection assignment whilst listening to your encouraging words and it's so helpful. I find that I'm typing in a more engaged manner listening to your videos than when I just try to fight my brain for words in silence and I just really appreciate you for your videos. For fears, I'm not sure if 'conquered' is the right term for me, but I used to have a fear of public speaking to the point where I would be sick but now I can present (provided lots of practice) with just a little bit of butterflies!
Thanks again 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this! I really appreciate your input. I'm glad you were able to stand up to your fear of public speaking. I found that in my years of public speaking that audiences WANT to like you. That was a comfort to me when I had that realization. A few butterflies are ok! Lol! ;)
Would you please release audio version of your videos to Spotify ?
It’s easy that way to listen to asmr in background while travelling or studying , Tysm ❤️
That is something I've never considered and don't know the first thing about. Thank you for the suggestion and I will check it out! :)
@@JeannieBASMR in your “daughter’s” last video she talks about it in the first five minutes! you can upload your videos as podcasts :) maybe she can help you
I have the same "I'll just deal with it" approach to a lot of my fears. I first learned it from a Dale Carnegie book but, with your wisdom, you found it out on your own. The way he explained it (very similar to your explanation) is he would identify the worst possible outcome, accept it as the inevitable outcome, and convince himself he would be able to handle it.
I love this approach because it gets to the heart of the fear response which is the rumination and feeling of being mentally unhinged. The reality is that, initially, we may be afraid of an object or outcome. But what's unbearable are the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. It's maddening to a brain that evolved to be vigilant to that's from all directions. But what about the fear that your can't see? Our brains aren't equipped to handle those fears.
100% spot on, AJ! It takes some practice (and I got a lot of gray hair in the process, lol!) but it does work and it does help! Thank you for mentioning Dale Carnegie - I have his book somewhere in our library. That would be great to read from!
You have become one of my new fave asmrtists to listen to lately🤗I just love your tempo and vibe, and as so many other commenters have mentioned I love that you aren’t another 20
Something asmrtist! I live in Nevada City and heard in another video you too are in the foothills! I love how long your videos are and have been falling asleep to your work for a couple of weeks now. I love the flip throughs, and LOVE your personal stories and anecdotes. It’s also extra comforting to know you are somewhere in these hills making these videos! They make me feel so extra safe. Thank you Jeannie!!
Aw, this is so kind! Thank you! We love Nevada City! We were further down the western slope - Mount Aukum/Somerset. But now we’re moving back to Texas!
Thank you Jeanie. I love listening to you. I’m so glad I have found you. Xx
Thank you, dear Hayley. That is so sweet and I appreciate your comment so much! I'm glad you're here on my channel, honey!
My fear is always unexpected bills. You made me realize that unexpected events or accidents are going to come up whether you like it or not. I have always budgeted but it is always on my mind. I think I just need to chill out and keep doing what I am doing. Save as best you can but don't go crazy.
I like that kind of thinking. Stuff always comes up, do your best to plan, but don’t over stress.
@@JeannieBASMR I am 42 and I think to myself now why I stressed over such ridiculous nonsense from my childhood through my 30s. I guess when I am in my 60s I will think the same.
The cat meows are the cutest and sweetest addition ❤
The little protesters! 🥰♥️😻
I also was very scared of spiders for the majority of my life! In recent years, I've started researching the benefits and purposes that they and other bugs/insects serve. It's taken time, but now I can manage them much better. Viewing them as helpers in the garden or keeping bugs out of your house is something that helped me! Thank you for this video and all of your others ❤️
That is still so hard for me! 🤪
I really appreciate all the love and positive, uplifting messages in this community. I'm so happy and thankful I found you! 💝
I'm so glad! This really is an amazing community. I'm uplifted everyday be you all! XOX
The cats were cracking me up 😂
Thank you sharing your thoughts on fear, Jeannie. You're very comforting 💖
Now they’re begging for their own video! Little
Monsters! Lol! 😻
When it’s 3:24 AM EST and you can’t sleep and see a video from JEANNIE!!! Yay will def sleep soon 😴
Aww, that is so nice! Thank you!! Hope you slept, love!
What a lovely video! Crinkles, inspirational talks, and the cats were so funny. I've had a fear of small spaces and snakes my whole life.
I get it - on both counts. 😖 And yes, those cats - trying to muscle in. Lol!
jeannie!! this is just what i needed tonight! i start my new job tomorrow and you're putting me right to sleep so i'm lovely and well rested in the morning - thank you! you're a gem
Hello, dear Madeleine! Best of luck to you on your new job, honey! Rest well! XOXO
I’m so glad I watched this again recently. I had to have a root canal this past Wednesday and I was SO ANXIOUS about it, but the dentist let me listen to my headphones and listen to whatever I liked, and your videos kept me call during it. ❤
Glad it helped! 🥰
Thanks!
Kim! This is so sweet! Thank you! It will definitely go toward some vintage stuff for my channel! Again, thank you!
reminds me of an evening with my grandma. super super cozy! very nice i hope u have a nice day
I love this! Thank you!
Hi! I haven’t listened to you before, but everything that you said about fear and personal feelings and everything you were discussing hit totally home with me. I love that you described how you can overcome and achieve and don’t be held back by your fears. It was very inspirational for me. Thank you!
And your voice in canter is extremely soothing!
I’m glad you’re here. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. 🥰
Hi Jeannie - good question about prescription drug ads. I’m in Australia and it’s actually illegal to advertise prescription medications outside a medical setting. One of the things the drug companies do is advertise directly to the medical practitioners through elaborate presentation dinners and conferences. I was gobsmacked the first time I visited the US and saw drug ads on TV, although I believe the US has restrictions on what can be said/claimed in the ads.
The drug ads are awful here...I wish they were illegal here. Drug companies control so much here in the US. The media can't talk against any meds because big pharma are advertisers. Such a shame.
Yes, it's just so inappropriate. But it comes down to $$ I imagine.
Only you, Ms. Jeannie, could turn talking about your innermost fears into a cozy activity 😂 it is a true gift, allowing people to be willingly unguarded in your presence and speak of the deep griefs of life so that you may overcome them together.
I am no stranger to fear. I most readily oscillate between a fear of being unloved and a fear of being insignificant - and boy, are they often at odds with one another. Being loved (more frequently manifesting as "people pleasing") often requires me to lessen my pursuit of my passions, whether that's to accommodate others' needs or because what I chase after would not be approved by all. I know beyond doubt that diluting myself to suit others means they don't love the true me at all, but I would by lying if I said that made it any easier to stand firm in the face of disapproval. In this season of life, now that I oversee people instead of stand alongside them, I find myself needing to accept that doing what is best as a boss could create friction between myself and my staff, could cause my employees to gossip about me, etc., even if I do my best to otherwise honor them as workers and as humans alike. I've long sought freedom from this fear, and I continue to step further into conquering it, but it's a lifelong process of liberation for me.
I'm a person that seeks to solve problems from their roots though, and these fears don't always dissipate when you simply address the surface-level manifestations of them. Instead, I find myself giving into a fear of being unloved not simply bc (as one might assume) I do not love myself enough - though that's certainly something else I'm addressing simultaneously - but because I don't always know what impact this sacrifice of love will contribute to. I've always wanted to leave a significant mark on the world, but despite my litany of passions, I've never known which path or passion would allow me to leave one. Do I do so through my writing, my music, my faith? Would it manifest in my business? Is it simply loving on the people in my life and helping to walk them through its darkest seasons? I'm not sure. If I knew that losing out on a moment of love would allow me to permanently move closer to my goal of leaving such a significant impact on the world, then I could weigh the "risk vs. reward" with each decision, but I still feel a bit blind in the long-term despite my best intentions.
That's where I find myself on this quiet weekend night. I actually listened to this right when you published it, but I've been mulling it over all week. Probably not the best thing to do when you're sick (I caught Covid for the first time last Sunday and am still knee-deep in the symptoms), but at least I have the time to truly confront myself without distraction or excuse. We need that every so often. Thank you for challenging and encouraging my heart in equal measure, Ms. Jeannie
Oh dear Jacob! I'm so sorry you got the bug! You got too close to the screen when I had it! ;)
You are such a deep thinker and I'm amazed at how profound you can be. I want you to make sure that you don't weigh yourself down too much trying to come up with all the answers - you know, analysis paralysis. Sometimes just shedding all thought, letting it go, setting it all aside for a period of time, etc. is exactly what is needed to free your spirit and live life more fully and joyfully...more easily. I used to try to analyze life...the whys of it all...why the loss, why the sadness, why the feelings of inability/insecurity/etc. that I have, why the inability to control it all...and ultimately, I came up with the answer and it was this: the whys of it all don't matter. Simple, I know. But freeing at the same time. Just BE. Let go and just BE - as much as possible anyway.
I came across a book some time back that actually changed a lot for me (inadvertently.) It was called Scripting the Life You Want by Royce Christyn. It's an easy read, but in doing a bit of what he was writing about, I actually created SO much! (Way too much to go into here.) I'd recommend giving it a try.
I truly appreciate your willingness to share so much of your authenticity and I hope I don't overstep my bounds with trying to "help." I try to refrain from jumping in with my kids unless asked and need to be reminded when I just start blurting out all my unlimited wisdom. (Lol!) So I'll stop here and just say thank you again for your lovely sharing!
XO
Mama J
@@JeannieBASMR To be fair, I may or may not have fallen asleep atop my laptop whilst listening to your videos on more than one occasion recently...so your theory might actually be right 😜 thankfully, my bosses have been understanding, so it's just another week of enforced rest ahead of me.
Trust me, analysis paralysis and I are well-acquainted 😂 though I've never had a name for it until now - I can't wait to use that term! You're right: the questions all too often cripple me from making any progress whatsoever. It's much more difficult to make an immoral choice when you stop to ponder the consequences, but taking so long to mete out the risks that you make no choice at all doesn't exactly reek of righteousness either. You're right: I'd rather be, be wrong, and then learn how to be right from an accidental instance of being wrong, than to be right only because I missed so many opportunities to be anything at all. I'll keep my eye out for that book, too! Thank you for the recommendation.
Thank YOU for allowing me to share! It's odd, because I am *such* a private person in real life that even my closest friends know so little about me, but I think you have a knack for disarming folks. No apologies needed - all the wisdom is welcomed. As someone who often falls into the "mom/therapist friend" role in his social circles, I completely understand the well-intentioned-but-unwelcome advice 😅trust me when I say you're free to speak your mind at any time with me. It's been a second wind to me in every instance I've received it. Thank you, Mama J ❤
Real Simple is my favorite magazine. It’s the one magazine that I pretty much read cover to cover. Great articles.
P.S. Your cats are hilarious!
Great! I like it, too! And yes, my monsters - so spoiled!! Lol!
The crinkles are amazing!!!
Thank you, LaLa! XOX
I love your videos. Your voice is sooo soothing could listen to it forever! You help me sleep and relqx. Thank you x
Hi Sharon - and thank you for this! I’m glad they help! 🥰
This was very soothing. I loved the kitty noises in the background as well LOL but the pages of the Real Simple Magazine did it for me. They were very heavy and you could almost hear that they had been wet and then dried. That magazine has a different texture to begin with and the content has always been satisfying to me as well. I listen to this actually in my car while driving LOL it didn't make me sleepy but it helped me to just relax on a very strenuous commute.
Glad to hear this, Donna! My monsters are demanding a video of their own now as they are relishing their popularity! Lol!
This was such a gorgeous video. You are such a good person I find you so inspiring. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate this!
Dear Jeannie, today I woke up with bad headache, but listening to your voice makes me feel better and better ☺️that's what ASMR can do for me. 😉Thanks for one hour relaxation ❤️❤️
After looking the hole video I have to write something more 😉as a mother of four children between 21 and 7 years I can tell you that the fear of them getting hurt will kill me some day. One son drives a motorcycle, I thought, ok, if he gets his car driving license, it will be less dangerous and I don't have to have this fear about it anymore, but now my other son makes the license for motorcycle and I have to accept the fact that the fear will never end🙄btw the fear about car driving kids is the same 😑but that's motherhood, I think.
A big fear of mine is about moths, I hate them so much 😩😩
In Germany we have drugs in magazines, too. But without the important facts. They are only in the boxes of the drugs.
I like this video so much, magazines with water damages are sooo crinkly and give tingles all over☺️☺️
Oh Barbara, I also woke up with a headache! Sister vibes!
Yes, our kids give us our gray hair from worry, I know. It doesn’t matter the age. Little children, little problems!
Hang in there…!! 🥰
This women is queen of asmr ❤
That is super sweet! Thank you!

So relaxing Jeannie. Thank you, and for the banana and scrambled egg tip. Best wishes from England. 🤗

This video helps so much. I've always had an anxious/obsessive mindset about predicting the future due to fear of the unknown and lack of control. I went thru my first heartbreak last year (I'm 25) and am finally feeling like myself again, 8 months later, but still feel lost and confused sometimes. 🙃 so many points in this video resonate.

Hi Jeannie, I recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying your content immensely. Just wanted to share my appreciation for your message about not keeping the house perfect. My husband and I hosted Thanksgiving for the first time this year and while I knew that everyone in the family are all very relaxed and wouldn't be scrutinizing or judging our home, I was still stressed about it looking nice. Fortunately, I found this video a couple days prior and it helped ease my mind; your message echoed in my head and I was able to let go of the little specifics and instead be satisfied with the general appearance. Everything went very well on Thanksgiving (my husband aced the turkey - his first time too!) and I was able to relax so much more than if I had been constantly worried about all the little things.
Hello!
You know, it’s always been a struggle for me to just relax and ease up on myself and ridiculous standards for the house when we entertain. It took a while, but I did learn that people/guests have more fun when I’M relaxed and enjoying myself. I’m glad you eased up on yourself as well. People will remember you, not the perfect (or lack, thereof!) state of your home.
Welcome here and thanks for sharing your story.
♥️🥰

Just want to say thank you for the content and keep being you ☺️
Thank you so much, Leslie! 🥰
Jeannie! This video was exactly the medicine I needed. We just went through a major hurricane that devastated my area (we are okay luckily) I’ve been grappling with a lot of fears that are coming to the surface this felt like the comforting pep talk I needed
I’m so glad you’re ok! Was this hurricane Ina? Maybe now that the fears are at the surface, many of them can be released. 🤔
Sending you a hug!
That's exactly how I make my eggs too! Love your videos so far. So relaxing. Thank you. 😌
What a perfect way to end my weekend with one of your lovely videos! Your videos are always making me warm and fuzzy in my chest with a coziness and a nostalgia I cannot really pinpoint. You have the most soothing voice I have ever heard! Thank you for making these videos for us!
You made my day, dear Madalina! Thank you for this lovely comment!
Very Philosophical ... and very intelligent and beautiful ASMR ... Thank You !
Wow, thank you!
So Jeannie, this is your best yet. 😊🤩⭐ Thank you from the UK! 💜
Thank YOU! 🥰♥️♥️
This is my first time commenting and I just wanted to say thank you, your videos are calming but they are filled with interesting information and this video really made me think about the things I fear. One of them being the fear of the unknown and not being good enough it’s something that I’m trying to work on and be more comfortable in my own skin and this video made me feel so validated and loved. So thank you ❤️
I'm so glad this helps. Life is too short to spend worrying about things that don’t matter. I wish for you a very full and happy life! Big hugs to you.
That pic of your scrambled eggs looked SO GOOD ! 🤤 😋
I’m from England and we never have any drug ads in magazines/newspapers
No we don't. It's bizarre seeing them. Mind you. We should cos can't see a GP 😅. Ty jeannie xxx
Hi Jeannie ❤ Good to see you, hope you are feeling better !
Hi Jeannie, I just wanted to say I am very thankful for your videos.
I'm so glad! Thank you for sharing this! XO
I love earl grey tea! And that cup is beautiful!
Thank you, Megan! And you just reminded me that my cup and pot are still in the laundry room. I set it there when I was on my way out of the room where I video! Lol! 🤣
@@JeannieBASMR haha glad to help! Could have been the inspiration for another video though 😅
I love my ooni! It’s so worth it, not only is the food delicious but preparing the pizzas and watching them cook is fun for the family! Also, I love your videos! Could you please do one where you demonstrate how you pack your carry-on? Not only would it be soothing but I’d learn something too! You are amazing, thank you for everything ❤
Hi Priscilla! Thank you for that input! And yes - I’ll do a packing video with one of my upcoming trips! 😁 🧳
Another lovely video, Jeannie. Love a magazine flip through. I'm too cheap to spend that much on something that's mostly advertisements , so rarely get to enjoy them. Haha
The protesting cat noises made me laugh. Ours always want to be where we are, too, but I also read somewhere once that when you're talking on the phone(or in recording a video), cats think you're actually talking to them and, thus, shower you with attention. Lol
My monsters think they own the world! Lol!!
The cats🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🫶🏼 think about doing a video with them!
That’s what they say, too! 😅
