(music) (5 hours) EARNEST | Let me bore your pain away #25 | Jason Newland | 17th April 2025

[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to JasonNewland.com My name is Jason Newland Please, please, please, please, only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

[00:00:18] So this is Let me bore your pain away. It's basically just me wobbling on about various things that can hopefully help to reduce the physical sensations of your chronic pain.

[00:00:57] Ultimately, I guess it's just, I mean, it's very base. It could be a relaxation session. You know, just a distraction maybe. And only listen, of course, I said when you can safely close your eyes, but also with the permission of your doctor.

[00:01:27] Because you do need to know the cause of the chronic pain. You need to know the cause of the pain, basically, before you listen. And I would advise that about anything, any kind of real-life therapy as well. Find out the cause first, before you get any kind of treatment. Although this isn't treatment. Although this isn't treatment, and this is not a replacement for treatment.

[00:01:55] This is just a middle-aged English man just talking. That's all this is. If it helps, brilliant. And I hope it does. But I'm not a replacement for anything else.

[00:02:11] The only thing I could really replace is, you know, if you had a really boring friend who you used to talk to, or listen to, because let's face it, maybe they just talked at you. And maybe they've moved away and you don't have contact with them anymore. I can be a replacement for that. Some boring person talks at you.

[00:02:41] Or, if you've got someone that, you know, likes to eat all your chocolate, and maybe they're not around anymore for whatever reason, I can replace that person because I do. Oh, I love chocolate. I could go on, but I won't. I was going to say, if you've got someone that maybe you don't see anymore that had a really weird beard, that's me as well.

[00:03:10] I'm thinking of growing my beard, like, really big. Like it was in 2020. It was so big, it even scared the cashier at the garage. The petrol station, she, because I had a, I was trying to wear a mask, and the mask basically just didn't even cover it. It was just, the mask looked tiny. My head looked massive.

[00:03:37] And when I trimmed it, she said to me, I'm so glad you got rid of that beard. I used to get so scared when I'd see you walking up here. I said, it was just a beard. She said, yeah, but it was, it was just so wide. I said, what do you mean? She said, like, you were knocking things off the shelves. Exaggerating a little bit. She said, like, people keep their distance here.

[00:04:07] Not because they had to, it's because they didn't have any choice, because your beard was about six foot long. She went on a bit. She went over the top with this. It wasn't six foot long. It was quite big. There's actually a video of me on YouTube somewhere. A couple of videos with that beard. And it's really large. Like, really. A big fat beard it was.

[00:04:35] Some may argue that's not relevant to the recording. And I would say, yeah, maybe. Maybe not. Depends. I might talk about beards. I might not talk about beards. But I never know what I'm going to talk about. Oh, yeah. So I have a Facebook group. Jason Newlands Boring Group. If you want to get together with other people that like the recordings I do.

[00:05:03] I, and you can also send me messages on there. I've also got a YouTube channel where I now post every new recording I do. Including all six versions. And without music, five and ten hours without music. With music, five and ten with music. So that's the new thing I'm doing. It's just another place where you can listen to my podcasts.

[00:05:36] And my website, jasonnewland.com. Or by the way, the YouTube channel is at jasonnewland. And so, a website. All the latest recordings are on there. And whenever, if you would like to ask me a question or submit a question for the upcoming Q&A Friday. Which I do every week.

[00:06:05] Then please go on there and you can fill a form in. So it's a tiny little form with your question. And your name, that's pretty much it. And I will, whatever questions I get between each Friday. So between finishing the Friday, Q&A Friday recording. And the next beginning of recording it. Whatever questions I get during that week. I will include. And I'll mention your name. I only mention first names.

[00:06:37] And I'll try and answer the question. Some would argue that I perhaps don't answer the questions correctly. But there is no right and wrong way to answer a question. You might ask, you know, for example, you might ask me. What was the first time I wore a tie? Or the first time I wore a suit?

[00:07:08] And I might tell you about a bicycle that I had. That got a puncture. And I had to push it all the way up a hill. So there's no guarantee that I'm going to necessarily focus on the question. I might get a little bit sidetracked sometimes. Sometimes. I do try and bring it back.

[00:07:33] But, you know, there's occasions when I'm not as focused as maybe some may wish I was. I'm quite happy with the way I do it. But I don't always. I try and answer the questions. But sometimes I get a question that's a little bit like, oh, I have to be careful. Because, you know, especially if it involves other people in my life.

[00:08:03] And I can't, you know, if they listen to this, I have to be careful that I don't say anything derogatory. You know? So I have to, but generally, any question. If I can answer it, I will. If I can't, I will still answer it. But it might be. But plus, I didn't even finish that sentence. Plus, you can ask me the same question every week for a whole year.

[00:08:31] And you'll probably get a different answer every week. It depends on what my mood is. It depends. And also, you know, sometimes I'll answer a question on Q&A Friday. And I'll be sitting over there afterwards thinking, oh. Especially when it's things like, what's your favorite movie or what's your favorite song?

[00:09:00] And I'll think, oh, wait a minute. No, my favorite movie is that. This, you know, and I kind of, I forgot to mention this thing. Or, you know, it reminds me, blimey, to all about forgetting. This is a true story. Someone came to me.

[00:09:26] And they had a phobia. Or not a phobia, but they just, traveling to the airport. Because this person was going on holiday. Traveling to the airport was causing, like, a lot of anxiety. And the person couldn't figure out why. It's like, I don't know why. And it's like, she had a phobia.

[00:09:56] He had a phobia of traveling to the airport. In a car. Like, to get a taxi, I think, or drove, I don't know. And I was like, okay. Have you got an issue with a plane? No. I haven't got an issue with a plane. Is it you've got an issue with the people you're going with? No, not really. I mean, I've got three kids, but you get used to them after a while, don't you? I thought, what?

[00:10:26] Can't leave my own these days. Got to take them with you. Okay. And it was like, okay. It's like trying to figure it out. She came, and this might have been a hypnosis. I don't know if it was a hypnosis or it was counseling. I can't remember in what words were gummage head I had on that day.

[00:10:51] Anyway, after about the third session, she said she mentioned that she'd been in a car crash on the way to the airport. Like about five years ago. Quite a serious car crash. Like, okay. It's the dots weren't joining in his mind. I'm saying his and her because I can't remember if it was a bloke or a woman.

[00:11:20] I've got no idea. I don't care. But they didn't, they didn't have, like, it seems so obvious. It's like, well, obviously, if you've got this issue because something bad happened, something, you know, quite, you know, hard happened on the way to an airport. Because traveling to the airport wasn't something that they did regularly. It was like a once a year thing. Or twice a year, I don't know.

[00:11:53] And unless, of course, he was an air, like, he could have been a pilot, I suppose. No, no, I don't think he was a pilot. But, so it's amazing that sometimes, you know, forgetting things. And it's, it's all about forgetting things. I remember, oh, my chair's falling apart. I keep picking at the, do you know, I've got, like, a gaming chair.

[00:12:23] I don't, I'm not a gamer. The last time I even attempted to play a computer game, 2005. And somebody sold me their Game Boy, I think it was. Game Boy? Is it Game Boy? What is it? Not the Xbox, but the other one. Is it a Game Boy? So, he sold me that.

[00:12:54] And I was like, I don't know what to do with this. The chair is not falling apart because I've had it for 20 years. I just, I haven't, I keep picking it. I'm just thinking, if that was my fingers I was picking at, I'd have no fingers left. So, yeah. There's been times when I've forgotten about my lower back.

[00:13:26] See, I've very, very skillfully pulled it back to the reason I'm doing this recording. And I'm very pleased with myself. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it. Because it takes away the potential cleverness of what I did. But now thinking about it, maybe it wasn't that clever. Maybe it was just too...

[00:13:55] I kind of get a sense. It's like the arrows are basically pointing at the fact that he's now mentioning forgetting. Forgetting. He's going to start talking about forgetting about the pain. That's what you're going to do now, isn't it? Ah. Yeah. But not... Oh, I just put a finger in my ear. Just pulled out some earwax. Is it? Do you ever wonder, like, why earwax is such a weird colour?

[00:14:28] See, I have to be careful with my ears. Not because they're so big. I don't get them, you know, get stuck in between buildings because my ears are so big. No. Not because they're that big. Although they are fairly big. Although, I tell you it's weird. I had a friend at school and he had his ears pinned back. Yet she went and had an operation. His ears didn't even stick out. I didn't...

[00:14:57] It's just like... It wasn't even to me that noticeable. You know, it's weird. It's like, I thought my ears probably stuck out just as much as his did. But he, you know, he had a thing about it. So he got his ears pinned back. And... I think that's another thing about distraction, isn't it? Is...

[00:15:27] Because I'm trying to keep coming back to my lower back. But when I was thinking about my friend's ears... I don't get... I don't spend a lot of time thinking about his ears, by the way. I mean, it's like... Back when I was about 11 or 12. So it's, you know, a few years ago. It's over 15 years ago. So I don't spend a lot of time thinking of his ears. But when I was thinking of his ears...

[00:15:58] I wasn't focusing on my lower back. And you might be thinking... That's because he had such big ears. He didn't. And that's rude. Don't make fun of my friend. Who I haven't seen for 40 years. I suppose, technically, is he still a friend? I don't know. See, I'm... The way I see it... And it's weird. But I've got... I left school in 1986. So it's nearly 40 years ago. Is that right? 86, 96...

[00:16:30] 2006, 2016, 2026. So in a year's time. It's 39 years. There are people I went to school with... Who I still... Have high regard for. And I haven't seen them... Pretty much since I left school. Like someone called Stefan. Or Stefan. Stefan. I remember his surname. I remember what he looked like.

[00:16:59] He was tall. And he was cool. And I remember him. I just... He was one of these people. He was someone that I kind of want to be like. I was nothing like him. But I would... You know, if I could have chosen... To be like anyone. Probably in my year. He would have been one of the people I've chosen to be like. Because he was... I mean, he was a man. That's not one thing.

[00:17:27] He was already a man physically. But he seemed to be a man mentally as well. He was more clued together. He was more sensible. He wasn't scared of anything. He just... He was strong. But he was also nice. You know, he looked out for people. And I just... Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. I'm hoping that the old... I'm not going to say his name.

[00:17:58] But... V... V... I... I... N... N... N... E... E... E... E... E... E... doesn't start shouting. Because of the... Conversations. The very loud conversations going on in the garden. yesterday man they were playing music i think they were doing it from a phone so it's just all distorted from a distance it's distorted isn't it if you hear someone's phone music

[00:18:27] and had a blast in like all day all all day right till about 11 at night i was like what the heck it was very strange i hope that's not a sign of things to come i can i can imagine i'm getting a letter dear jason i quite like some of your let me bore you just to your let me bore your pain

[00:18:57] away recordings but you did one on thursday the 17th of april and it was more like let me bore you by moaning about stuff let me moan at you and we you know you just just moaned all the way through it how is that useful it's useful to me lets me get rid of it i feel better now oh

[00:19:24] letting all the negativity out war i'm not moaning i'm just pointing out you want to hear a moan this is a moan but it's not really it's kind of a it's a funny moan i can't believe this happened i'll tell you in a minute so when i was focusing on my on my friends focusing on my friends ears

[00:19:50] to be fair actually anything i do when i make these recordings my lower back relaxes there's something about my voice that i'm not saying that and like oh i have such a voice i don't mean like that but just

[00:20:10] there's something about recording or doing these recordings that has a tendency to relax me sometimes i do feel tired when i make them i yawn sometimes my body feels well my whole body feels quite relaxed right now but my lower back i'm focusing on it that's where the old arthritis is and my

[00:20:39] lower back left side and you know i'm kind of stretching it i can feel that it's this i don't know you know you know when you have local anesthetic so you can still feel the pressure but you can't there's no physical discomfort but you can feel the pressure so if a dentist is doing stuff or maybe you're having stitches and giving your local

[00:21:09] anesthetic in your hand or your foot or whatever i had it when i had an ingrind toenail sorted once had a local anesthetic and it's weird you can feel the pressure but it's like that's it it's a bit like that i can kind of i'm pressing on my lower back not not hard just so i can feel i can feel it but it's

[00:21:35] just nothing it just feels the same as the other side really it's kind of weird what was i going to tell you all right i went out today so i was in here and i was just doing some

[00:22:02] what did i do yeah i'm just finishing up with because i do the recordings and i upload them and after editing them and all that stuff there was a few bits and bobs i needed to do one of those things was to add the images to some of the podcast episodes so i did that so it took a little while

[00:22:27] itchy bum sorry oh that's better uh the buttock i should say buttock really just in case you think well you should go and wash your hands shouldn't you i've got trousers on um so i i need to cut my fingernails actually so i was just finishing off some of the old classes

[00:22:56] administration stuff you know some of that stuff that needs to be done and i had two pieces of chocolate i don't generally eat chocolate but on this occasion i had a dairy milk caramel uh cabbie's dairy milk caramel bar with two bits left from last night but it was warm and i thought to myself it seems a shame to not eat it right now

[00:23:25] it just do you know you ever get that that that situation where you think it just seems like the right thing to do it's a similar if you if you're walking down the street and you see someone struggling with like an elderly person struggling with some really really heavy heavy shopping and

[00:23:49] then you see someone like a young woman who's maybe uh struggling to do a body get out you know maybe she's her hair's getting wet so you go and help the young person the attractive i'm joking i'm joking i'm joking so you help the person needs help and it feels like the right thing to do that's how i will end with the chocolate it's like morally it felt the right decision to eat that

[00:24:17] chocolate it's only two pieces i mean i lost the stone well i lost the stone in the heart so i've lost the stone and i've not put it back on i lost the stone in half and i put half a stone back on so technically i suppose i can't really be um dancing around doing somersaults making out that i want a good because i've not put the weight back on because technically i've put one third of it back on

[00:24:46] but if you move away from that i'm still i'm 15 not 16 stone so that's good what i'll be by christmas i might be 17 stone i don't think so though well that bit of metal thing honestly i've got this bracket on this desk it reminds me okay you ever see it's a wonderful life and

[00:25:15] they got he's got that banister like the thing that he holds onto the banister right at the top the bottom of the stairs and it just comes off and he's like oh damn banister and then when he comes back off the pier and all his family there and all his friends come to save him financially and the old man old man zion zion or whatever is he's playing and you know he goes upstairs to see his daughter

[00:25:44] because it's juju because uh he had a petal it's didn't he in a in his pocket juju's petal juju's petal and and uh he puts his hand on the banister and it comes off like oh oh and he's happy where like an hour earlier he was like annoyed he's like oh and now he's like oh it was um

[00:26:12] a bit like that i lost my train of thought there what was i talking about i was talking about eating chocolate and i ended up focusing on a banister on um oh this metal thing it's like that that's it this metal thing on my desk

[00:26:41] i mean it's not like a banister because that would be weird because it's nothing like that but it's something that's just annoying me and i i just like i wish i could do something about it but that would involve that would involve effort and it's just there i just need a screwdriver but i lent my screwdriver to my neighbor my neighbor never re basically gave it back i don't know what the re was going to be

[00:27:11] repeated reported reprieved returned that's it never returned it oh i've got an email three reasons to rejoin disney exclusive original blockbusters and binge worthy series new releases added every week personalized recommendations based on what you love to watch oh and there's another one we need your money recently

[00:27:40] things ain't been so good disney's had a few problems we need your money please plus we we kind of did everything we could to ruin the marvel franchise i still stick with marvel even though disney really have gone out of their way to destroy it i don't know why because that was i mean they have the rights they own star wars

[00:28:09] and the marvel all the marvel movies and stuff and i don't know not quite sure why they've kind of done what they've done and they really need some pr they need they need someone to have a word with some of their stars as well just to be quiet when they're promoting a movie it's really i reckon that snow white

[00:28:38] if it got good ratings regardless if it was good or not it might be a really good movie i don't know i've not watched it but if it had good ratings it would have been probably the biggest hit of the year even if it wasn't particularly good just because it's a disney movie it's a remake of one of the most famous disney movies of all time and it's got some famous people in it

[00:29:08] and you know it's got wonder woman she's in it isn't she it just shows you how easily because of social networking social media the internet all that stuff it's like they go to town in a much a stronger way than the national press ever used to it used to be like a slow burning thing with the newspapers you know

[00:29:37] they try and do something and if if everyone else followed then it'd be good sometimes it wouldn't work and they did one recently about it was Stephen Fry so Stephen Fry made a controversial comment Stephen Fry controversy controversy this is recently and

[00:30:06] oh he's got another one now the thing is I don't know if it was it was accused of making racist and sexist jokes or I don't know what it was oh yeah I know what it was he made had been criticized for controversial comments regarding some yeah quite serious stuff they posted it whoever it was online no one

[00:30:36] showed the slightest bit of interest because he would have been well he wasn't cancelled and it seems like he's above being cancelled some people just are above that Russell Brand seems to be above that John Tate oh what's his name Tate whatever that name is the bloke Tate what's his first name Tate

[00:31:06] used to be Tate and Lyon if you put Tate in generally used to be like Tate and Lyle Sugar that's weird I put in Tate into Google and nothing's coming up other than okay if I just check Tate Modern Hotels Andrew is it Andrew I bet if I just put Andrew it'll probably come up in the listings and that's a very slurpy word Andrew Andrew Andrew yeah A-N

[00:31:36] the first word Andrew Tate it's the first person that comes up as soon as I put A-N so Andrew Tate is it's quite funny because he what Ricky Gervais said that Andrew Tate is what a 14 year old boy thinks a man is supposed to be like and I thought it was quite funny because he's not really representative

[00:32:05] of the male population I would say it's kind of a fantasy kind of I don't know it's weird I mean it's see in England we saw Andrew Tate years ago long before he was famous worldwide long long long before because he was in Big Brother and I don't know if he was he wasn't even

[00:32:34] in what year was that what year was he in Big Brother da da da he don't know if what does he say about okay let's have a look I want to see some of the rubbish he comes out with see I quite like people that come out with crap because it's funny but it doesn't you know people just say stuff like it's

[00:33:03] it's almost like they they it's created kind of like a a Frankenstein's monster or AI they sort of said okay create the perfect version of a misogynist like the perfect version that has every single misogynistic attribute and he seemed to have come out the other end I think you know I've got no issue with him

[00:33:32] I don't know him but he's there's a lot of that stuff online at the moment I watch a lot of the YouTube channels and I do I see some of these YouTube channels and there's quite a few really popular YouTube channels that are so anti the opposite sex it's ridiculous I don't understand it I think women are lovely not all of them but not all men are lovely either not all anyone thinks lovely

[00:34:02] but everyone's got something good about them Big Brother 2016 so and it wasn't Celebrity Big Brother either no one knew who he was he was just some he had hair back then he was a bloke and they kept talking about him being a kickboxer champion and he was he was controversial

[00:34:31] argumentative but he was unknown and he had a weird accent a mixture between English and American he came under scrutiny for previously having made homophobic and racist posts on Twitter he was removed from the show after six days which produces saying it was because of events outside the house okay

[00:35:05] well that didn't come up when I talked about that when I was trying to look at people for people that had been so as distractions I mean in some ways you know I'd rather have arthritis

[00:35:35] than be him you know so it's weird I don't understand I do sometimes wonder how do people get to be so angry take themselves so seriously and that is something that can really get in the way of relaxing I've seen that over the years a lot where

[00:36:05] some people just take themselves a little bit too seriously it's not that they should see themselves as a joke of course not but or sometimes like really earnest people let's not look if I've got the word right earnest the word earnest is defined as being characterized by or proceeding from an intense and serious state of mind yeah

[00:36:34] serious I do get it right it implies seriousness and determination often indicating that someone is sincere and committed to their intentions or actions and there's nothing wrong with sincerity blimey so it's an amazing trait and being earnest you know if you're climbing a mountain or you're searching for someone's missing or you know you're trying to save someone's life

[00:37:04] or yeah being earnest is an amazing characteristic but in just everyday life it might not be always useful especially with physical issues and I've noticed that I've known a lot of people over the years that have just been very very I don't use the word earnest but serious

[00:37:34] very taking themselves serious maybe taking other people serious taking their own views really seriously and I understand you know it's probably quite hard for some people to realise that their views are only really important to them and maybe people that have the same views but there are millions

[00:38:03] if not billions of people around the world that don't feel the same way so it doesn't mean that they're right doesn't mean that you're right or I'm right we're just right for us it's our opinion and it's how we choose to think and live our life but then when you break it down how much is it free choice of thinking if we're being indoctrinated into it being born into it

[00:38:33] because you add the amount of things that are probably indoctrinated from living in this country I mean when I was a kid I grew up eventually I grew up and there was a certain mindset a very dismissive mindset to anyone that was out of the norm people with

[00:39:03] disabilities were generally you wouldn't see them maybe people in wheelchairs but outside of that they'd be locked up you know there was the care in the community kind of came in the 90s where people were allowed to live outside of hospitals there was a real misunderstanding it wasn't misunderstanding it wasn't

[00:39:32] even attempted understanding of differences so any kind of difference was mocked and yeah a lot of the time it was funny in a way if you're not the one being mocked but if you are the one being mocked it's probably not quite as humorous and I have been the one being mocked and I didn't enjoy it I learned

[00:40:02] from that until the next time I decided to mock someone no I don't generally I like to go the other way so well used to if I see someone mocking somebody I join forces with the other person that's being mocked and turn it on them and either coached them on what to say or just join in and sort of say

[00:40:31] and basically be their be their voice temporarily because I've known people that won't say anything back they'll just sit there or stand there and let it happen and I can't allow that because I'm earnest I'm very serious about things like that serious and determined so sincere I'm committed to my intentions

[00:41:01] or actions I'm just trying to learn what the word earnest means what's that famous book earnest something earnest so that is something I've noticed is so you thought I was going to talk about forgetting things no no no mind you there has been times when I've just forgotten about my back

[00:41:32] there have I mean there was one time when I fractured my back in two places the week I got Vinnie I had I had well it wasn't a walking stick but it was a very sturdy umbrella with like a handle and I used it as a walking stick just to help me get through because I was oh man that was whoo that was a very

[00:42:02] interesting time and then one day I went out without it and I forgot that I needed it and I realised that I was really making a meal of it I was almost over exaggerating my limping and I didn't realise I was doing that until I forgot to take the brolly out I mean I wasn't walking normally I still had a limp and I

[00:42:32] was being careful but it almost like made brought me down to earth to realise that if I was able to forget that I needed some kind of support then I possibly didn't need the support and then I fell over so I did need it no I didn't I haven't fallen over

[00:43:02] since that was weird my friend said you know like we had snow that week the last time we had settled snow so this is over two years ago two years and four months that's the last time we had in where I live I mean had any kind of settled proper settled snow where it settled you know what I mean like it's there for a few days now

[00:43:33] it all melted on that day I think it was a Wednesday or Thursday all melted it didn't stay settled for a long time maybe a few days maybe five days I don't know I lose track and all I'm doing is just my friend knocked on no he shouted up a bit late at night until we were doing that but he shouted up oh you want to bring Vinny down or go in the garden Logie

[00:44:02] and Vinny and I'd only had Vinny literally for a week that was the first week of having him so there's a lot of excitement about having him here and Logie loved him Vinny loved Luke he loved Logie he loved going in that flat you know this was all new for him he was having time of his life I guess he's you know I think he'd have preferred to be downstairs and to be up here with me but I think he's

[00:44:34] he's given up on the dream he's settled I think that's the most I could ever really hope for anyone with me is just to settle just to that's what I was hoping in life like relationships I don't need anyone to fall in love with me I just want someone just to just to settle just to to give up looking for something better that's all I want it's not much to ask oh dude that's terrible oh

[00:45:04] some water got a little delivery earlier some food to get me through till next week because tomorrow is good Friday then it's what's basically Easter weekend so I think everything kind of goes back to normal Saturday then it's Easter day Sunday Easter Monday or good sort of like a bank holiday Monday and then things go back to normal Tuesday

[00:45:34] so I'm going to be other than you know doing what well I should be doing what I normally do really yeah making recordings and watching some telly I hope to watch some telly over the weekend I just started watching the movie but I thought well it's getting on it's like now it's quarter to three

[00:46:04] and I almost feel like I haven't done anything today it's kind of weird so I thought I might as well just get on and make a make a recording but that seriousness I have mentioned this before I'm not 100% sure how to really kind of move

[00:46:35] well I've been there sometimes I'm there sometimes I'm super serious but generally I think having I'm not going to say a sense of humour because serious people can have a sense of humour as well I think everybody's got a sense of humour it's just different for each person but to be a bit more lighter to be a bit

[00:47:07] what does it take for you to feel less serious I mean the fact is some people have got a lot of serious stuff going on so it's I would never really say to someone generally unless I know them very well to just try not to take themselves but then you can take other things seriously without taking yourself seriously

[00:47:37] can't you is that possible is it possible to take a break from all that stuff and just remembering we get what we think about so whatever we focus on has an effect on how we feel this is just scientific fact not an opinion I was angry it sounded quite aggressive it's not an opinion

[00:48:07] it's fact I take myself I mean very earnest that's going to be the word this is going to be called earnest so I'm going to call this recording earnest I'm never going to use the word earnest again after this it's not one of the words

[00:48:50] I scar wild I've never read it I've never read it earnest let's have a look have a look for something this is going to be weird

[00:49:20] I'm going to ask chat GPT do you do you have any

[00:49:38] here we go let's see what it comes up with do you have any hypnosis techniques for stopping being earnest so although I mean recently

[00:50:08] I've been making recordings and I've kind of focused on some relief techniques and stuff this is a little bit different but it's kind of a distraction I didn't tell you did I about the chocolate I'll tell you in a minute honestly I'm embarrassed by it I'm actually embarrassed and I can't believe no one told me

[00:50:38] so this is oh it's giving me a whole I just want oh no okay no it's giving me lots like a whole thing I don't want a whole thing just if I say stop and just ten different techniques right I don't want a whole

[00:51:08] hypnosis script just ten different techniques just interested because I know some things I know some things I'm so clever there are ways of it's about dislodging it's about moving away from a fixed mind I'm not reading this off the screen by the way I'm still waiting for it to load up

[00:51:39] moving away from that fixedness suppose in a way it's like stretching exercises for your mind stretching what's coming up with this the playful observer imagine yourself stepping outside your body observing yourself interacting earnestly with others

[00:52:08] but also seeing the humor in these moments notice the playful absurdity in being overly serious okay so imagine I guess it's a good example I've seen that I've seen it when and sometimes it can be so I've seen people if if it's just like an average

[00:52:37] joke sometimes people won't laugh because it goes against their you know it's a subject matter that they don't like which is understandable but if something when something makes someone laugh it's uncontrollable like real laughter something might be humorous like yeah it's funny but something that makes you just

[00:53:06] really laugh you know proper proper laugh that's uncontrollable that's out of our control we know what uncontrollable is okay fair enough blimey it's so serious it's it's out of our that made me laugh doesn't mean that I'm against the Pope or I find anything funny about

[00:53:36] the the Pope water skiing or whatever the joke would be you know it's it's just it made me laugh and it wasn't it caught me off guard and that's something I think some people struggle with like can't laugh at that can't laugh at this well and old Richard Bandler he said you know with stuff that's serious now and you're like one day we'll laugh about this

[00:54:06] why wait why not laugh about it now I'm not talking about super serious horrible things but I remember I had a neighbour who had an ambulance called and they heard this person heard the ambulance drivers or the paramedics joking and I had to explain to him that it's

[00:54:35] it's a natural thing to do they're not laughing at you they're not laughing at your situation basically it's a thing called gallows humour and he had not heard that because he was young very young hadn't heard of the term so I had to explain it's basically they're doing such a difficult job at times that the only way to really cope with it is by laughing at what's going on they're

[00:55:05] not really laughing at what's going on they find something's funny but you know it's a way of coping and it's similar with I'm sure with the police with doctors nurses with even in counselling it was a sort of you know even in the call centre laugh at someone make fun of a customer or make fun of a team leader that was a bit

[00:55:35] over the top moaning and stuff just it was a way of letting that tension out a way of release you know so it's not necessarily that you find it funny like that you find their situation funny or you're really mocking them it's just that it's it's a way to let

[00:56:05] out a way to release oh brilliant you've now explained humour to us thanks no I'm not trying to explain humour to you I'm just saying that this is what I told this person that sometimes people will laugh but they're not really laughing at you now I still have to convince myself that

[00:56:35] if someone's if I'm walking down the street in my shorts and every single person points at my legs and laughs they're not laughing at me they're laughing with me okay there's the balloon release picture your earnest thoughts and serious feelings as helium balloons gently letting them go one by one watching them float peacefully away feeling lighter and freer as each balloon disappears into the sky that's just another version of

[00:57:05] the helium release or the stress release another version of that is you can imagine getting all the things you're concerned about putting them into a wheelbarrow pushing the wheelbarrow towards a hot air balloon you know ones with the baskets and then just the baskets got a couple pieces of wood like a ramp

[00:57:34] push the wheelbarrow in empty in there pull out the side of the basket and then just cut the cord or the rope that's keeping the hot air balloon on the that crap all that stress all that negativity discomfort just slowly rise slowly and just

[00:58:04] notice how good it feels I used to have that feeling whenever I got onto a ferry and I would leave this country I always felt a relief as I moved away from the shore you know whether it's going to Belgium whether it was France Ireland that's the only three different places I've been to on a ferry

[00:58:34] France Belgium and Ireland yeah I think that's it oh Island Man as well so four always had that same feeling although I wasn't able to watch with the Island Man one the winds were too strong we weren't even allowed outside but all the other ferries it was lovely just it wasn't like in a negative way like oh England it wasn't

[00:59:04] like that it was just it was that separation it was that that break that physical separation of being away from well basically I was leaving everything there I was leaving any worries any concerns my past everything was there and I was moving away from it

[00:59:33] it was nice felt nice it feels nice even imagining it to be honest yeah it can feel like that sometimes you can leave stuff like in a hot air balloon you can leave the physical discomfort you can leave that on the shore as well as you move away on the boat you can leave it at home whenever you go out

[01:00:06] there's so many little things you can do that I know it's imagination but sometimes you know if you carried around a little pad with you piece of paper I won't talk about big pad just a little pad just a little just you know

[01:00:35] doesn't have to be anything big and you could do this at home as well but whenever you get a feeling whenever you get a feeling you don't enjoy whether it's a thought that you're not enjoying whether it's a physical feeling that just feels quite horrible you could write how you feel down rip it off the pad whatever

[01:01:04] screw it up and just put it in a bin or if you live around there just chuck it out a window for the for the cleaners to pick up in a month's time what they do with their nappies oh dear honestly there's a flat downstairs there's eggshells all outside the kitchen window on the floor outside how

[01:01:34] what they were chucking nappies out the front it's on camera they've got the other people that got it on camera but how how what part of the brain needs to be turned off to be cooking and then just chucking food chucking empty eggshells out the kitchen window what part of the brain has to be switched off to do that or to chuck a dirty

[01:02:03] nappy out of the living room window maybe we can switch parts of the brain off maybe the part for that bit of your body that you want to feel relaxed maybe switch that part of the body that part of the brain off just that one small part and I guess there's I mean if you think about it

[01:02:33] like a a traffic light system so you've got that part of your body there's green there's yellow and there's red so red kind of means each colour can mean what you want them to mean so you can just change the colour maybe the one in the middle is you know yeah one colour is maybe

[01:03:05] unpleasant feeling and then the other colour would be feeling relaxed I mean I want to go like you know stop go and prepare to to go although in this country there there's something that happens talking about turning off parts of your brain when people

[01:03:35] get a driving licence in this country they they get a part lobotomy and what happens is they get a part of their brain removed the I don't know the sensible part that only really it activates when they're in the car the rest of the time they're fine but something happens so they learn that red is stop green is go

[01:04:04] yellow depends on where you are so if you're stopped at the traffic lights yellow means prepare to go and when it goes to green so if you're on red yellow is prepared to go ready and when it goes to green you can go and if you're pulling up to the traffic lights and it's on green then it turns to yellow prepare to stop and it goes to red now you might not you might drive up and not know what

[01:04:33] it is it might just be on a yellow so you don't know if it's about to stop or if it's about to go so you slow down you become very aware of it preparing that's kind of what it's supposed to be says the man that's never actually driven a car I did I had three driving lessons so there but what it turned into is in this country the part of the brain that gets switched off

[01:05:04] when you get your driving license is you when you're driving up towards the traffic lights and it's on yellow what that means to the person in their brain is speed up whether it's going to green or whether it's going to red they don't know if it's on yellow speed up that's what it means if you're knowing

[01:05:34] the traffic lights but if you see if you're sitting at the traffic lights and you've stopped because it's been on red the yellow instead of meaning prepare for green when you can start driving again yellow means go to the driver's brain so it goes from red to yellow it means they can just go and that's not what it means it means prepare to go

[01:06:04] you don't go yet until it goes to green so something happens to driver's brains and it's weird I just don't know what it is it's I guess it's just I don't know I really I don't who knows I don't know there's a dial down technique visualise a control dial clearly marked earnestness

[01:06:34] it was high slowly and deliberately turned the dial down feeling more playful relaxed and less serious of each reduction so I've done the dial down technique in the past quite probably quite a few if

[01:07:03] you know if that's the case being able to relax because you know this is something I've said for years and years and years when you're listening to me let's say if you're lying down or you're sitting down you're giving yourself half an hour or an hour or whatever time it is to just take some time out and not care about anything

[01:07:33] don't take anything I say seriously because I'm just talking a load of rubbish most of the time this is just time out from life and nothing matters right now and I try to put this idea forward and I know

[01:08:02] it's a weird concept sometimes because I don't know if it might come across as me saying you know nothing in your life matters and I'm not saying that that's a ridiculous thing to say I'm saying that for the period of time that you're listening to my super exciting voice take a break from

[01:08:32] that stuff I literally don't care about anything nothing whether it's illness other people's illness illness I'm talking anything let everything go if you're able to get into that zone of not caring but not in a way of course you still care but you're taking a break from it

[01:09:04] you're having a rest from it and we all need to put stuff down sometimes I mean talking from my own perspective a few times over the years I ended up carrying too much stuff like baggage stress tension it made me ill to the point where I couldn't function and I lost my job it happened three times four

[01:09:33] it happened three times officially but it happened in the past when I was younger I just didn't really know what was going on I kind of a little bit more clued up about what's happening now and I had to drop everything and it was a case of like I was not so much juggling but carrying such a heavy weight of different things to the point where

[01:10:06] if I just had to let them go but if I'd taken a break this lady the other day that reminds me I can't remember the toffee thing but that chocolate embarrassed myself so badly but anyway this woman I saw again I think today or was yesterday but a couple of days ago me and Vinnie were in the park we see this lady

[01:10:35] with these two big massive bags they were bigger than she was both of them and the bags weren't on wheels but she was no I don't know she was struggling with the bags she put them down and I think she was looking at her hands see it's obvious she was struggling with the bags so after I stopped laughing I went over to help her

[01:11:07] and you know Vinnie had to pick me off the floor because I found it so funny I didn't I didn't laugh blimey so I went over this is kind of a bit silly I went over to help her but I always like the other side of the park and I was shouting well calling out loud not shouting shouting because I do have a very loud voice when I shout so I don't shout but like excuse me excuse me

[01:11:36] bag lady I realised that probably wasn't a good thing to shout out lady with the bags excuse me wiggy no I didn't shout that but I was like I was trying to get her attention but she wasn't hearing me and I'm like it seemed like the closer I got to her the further she got away one of those visual weird things you know that you see on strange movies and cartoons and that

[01:12:06] I couldn't catch up to her by walking but I didn't want to run because I've heard comments about what I look like when I run another dog walker told me I've seen you run and I thought wow you kept that hidden in your pocket so I was making fun of her and she said oh I've seen you run and I oh she was holding on to that one for a rainy day got me

[01:12:36] right back I guess I run a little bit like I probably run the way I look like I run so if you were to see me you just looked at me that's how I run yes it's not necessarily a good thing so I'm walking really fast eventually she puts the bags down and I say excuse me hello I didn't want to

[01:13:06] tap her on the shoulder I didn't want to touch anyone but I don't want to startle her or anything I she turned around I said hello she said what I said are you okay what's I got to do with you I said I wonder if you need to see you look like you're struggling with the bags

[01:13:36] she said it looks like you're struggling with your belly wow this isn't going how I thought it would go I said do you want me to give you a hand she said give me a I don't think even if I emptied the bags you'll be able to carry the empty bags you're so weak okay none of this happened but that is what Vinny

[01:14:19] is he was on the lead but I was talking to his mum and they were just taking turns urinating on each other which was weird they literally do do that and I heard Archie said stuff like so what's he been up to this week

[01:14:49] I thought what who's been up to and then he said to he had some chocolate he wouldn't believe what happened he just had two bits of chocolate it was melted chocolate and I thought hey Vinny stop stop talking about me why are you telling him he said because you need to tell the story you've been talking about it you keep mentioning it but

[01:15:29] besides this is supposed to be you know let me bore your pain away you've you've just been talking about absolute rubbish for the last seven hours so it's gone up from three hours to seven hours yeah including this conversation probably about nine hours I said look there's you can't even speak can you I said yes I can speak sometimes I have a bit of stutter

[01:16:00] he laughed which I think was rude and I said look the fact is I said to him look there's more you consider maybe even I just seems like I'm talking about random things that possibly some of this might be useful at the very least as a distraction technique and maybe relaxation

[01:16:30] and stuff like that he said no why not why I said look you lived here for nearly two years over two years and four months and four eight nine so two and a third years why do you say no to that question you don't think

[01:17:00] that maybe I know that maybe you know that I know what I'm doing he said no I said why not he said because I'm a dog I said fair enough I said why are you having a conversation with a dog I had no movie screen reframe it's another thing imagine you're watching yourself behaving earnestly

[01:17:30] on a cinema screen then playfully change the film replace serious scenes with humorous playful interactions shifting your emotional response to laughter or gentle amusement I think sometimes just remembering something that happened that was funny is you know something you've seen on TV or something you've seen in a movie or something you heard someone say

[01:17:59] and just remembering it it can just be funny it changes because when you laugh or if you find something humorous it changes how you feel it changes for all of us you know so there's the mirror smile technique imagine yourself standing in front of a mirror looking overly earnest then gradually see your reflection breaking into

[01:18:29] a warm spontaneous smile feel the ease and joy this springs as seriousness dissolves naturally sounds like a horror movie so you're looking in the mirror and your reflection starts laughing at you wow okay I mean that's a bit freaky I mean it might be really good but that would I would definitely be wondering what was being put in my

[01:18:59] drink I shouldn't be making fun of the techniques but yeah I think sometimes there's a technique of it's not my technique it's an old technique where if there was an incident that you struggled thinking about because it's just like an

[01:19:28] interaction a verbal interaction at work or something that's just left an unpleasant feeling you can kind of have that memory but then say it's your boss telling you off or having a go at you or you can imagine behind them like a mermaid dancing behind them or like

[01:19:58] all the other managers just like doing little strip tease behind your manager when he's being so serious and all your and like just something silly like that I mean you can be extreme with it as well make it even funnier something that makes you laugh or you can just imagine that maybe they've just

[01:20:24] you know partially naked but in a way that they didn't realise maybe their zip was undone and you know it could be anything just if it makes you laugh or imagine them with maybe every time they talk piece of

[01:20:54] carrot falls on the floor piece of broccoli bits of food so there's like this big pile of food on the floor in front of them as it falls out of their mouth whenever they talk or maybe every time they talk they just shrink so the more they moan the smaller they get and their voice starts to get squeaky you know just little things like that

[01:21:24] imagine a friendly humorous version of yourself a comedian or playful inner guide who whispers humorous comments into your mind during earnest moments making it impossible to remain overly serious thoughts I've had this in the past at the really wrong times and well I just I've just

[01:21:54] been thinking about the wrong thing and it's it's weird it's kind of straight it definitely changes how you feel if you start like just it's kind of just whispering to yourself like even if it's if someone is saying something to you blah blah blah blah blah blah

[01:22:24] and or you imagine like just like I bet you need a big poo don't you or you can imagine what they're thinking while they're talking you know it's like if it's an interaction I mean but you can imagine they're thinking to themselves well well I you know whatever it could be I wish I hadn't had that last cup of coffee and they're

[01:22:54] needing to go to the toilet or maybe they've just realised that they've left a big damp patch on their trousers and they're hoping that no one notices it but you notice it so yeah there's a soap bubble technique what's this I mean it's going to have something to do with bobbing popping bubbles visualise your earnest thoughts encased with soapy bubbles

[01:23:24] gently pop each bubble experiencing the release of seriousness as each pops replaced by calmness ease and gentle amusement I mean I'm not quite sure what soap is but I have to look that one up feather touch technique picture a feather a feather a feather gently brushing away seriousness from your forehead shoulders and chest softly sweeping earnestness away

[01:23:54] leaving you feeling light freer and gently amused I mean when I called that woman the lady caught up with her and just said look I'm not trying to you know I saw you struggling with your bags can I help you pick them carry them and she said okay thank you I said you're going to have to take Vinnie though because I can't do both and she said I forget it then no she didn't

[01:24:23] she took him I said can you keep him on a short lead because he's got a habit of trying to run in the road she said this is getting more problematic than carrying the bags and how many more rules are there I said no more rules that's it so we cheerfully walked back to where she lives she lives at the end of the road I didn't know where she lived but I

[01:24:57] done what she did is she carried the bags I think she carried too much she had too much to carry and I don't think that was particularly good she's fairly elderly age wise maybe in her 70s elderly I don't know if that's the right word anymore but she's possibly carrying too much because they were heavy bags and

[01:25:28] but she was putting them down having a rest then carrying them then putting them down I think someone that takes themselves seriously perhaps has a tendency of carrying those bags and keep adding more and won't put them down refusing to put them down until they have no choice so that

[01:25:58] happened to me a few times where instead of just putting the bags down having a break and taking a rest from caring about anything which again I said it's a weird concept to not care for a period time not care about anything including yourself including your loved ones including the day including your job including where you live including

[01:26:28] your health anything letting go all all that stuff just for a period of time and when you do that there's some freedom there and things like you physically you just feel relaxed there's nowhere else there's no other way to feel because it's free it's freeing but then the

[01:26:58] benefit of when you go back you know when you like I say go back but when the recording is finished or the session is finished whether it's listening to me it could be doing yoga it could be doing meditation it

[01:27:38] care but you're letting it go you're having a break from it you know it's the same way as you don't eat when you're on the toilet the two don't really go together although the process is kind of the beginning and ending of the process but you know it's two separate things some may say how does everything seem to come back to pooing with you doesn't it i said no and then i think about it and like yeah it does seem to doesn't it

[01:28:08] oh well you've got the laughing stream imagine stepping into a warm clear stream uh stream imagine okay clear stream whose water contains laughter joy and playfulness feel earnestly being washed away effortlessly replaced by a joyful carefree attitude

[01:28:36] i mean i think that's part that can be a benefit of dressing up and i know i've heard that quite a few people that dress up like dressing up or maybe acting doing drama taking on a different role because they have a break from themselves maybe at the weekend they'll go out and they'll be a different

[01:29:05] person or maybe even moving to a different place a new job it's almost that you get a chance to reinvent yourself so oh so before i go i've got to tell you that story about the chocolate this is so embarrassing right my friend

[01:29:35] opposite needs his stuff removed he's got a fridge he's got up in the freezer needs to go because it's rusty on the outside and he's now just got this brand new kitchen in he said oh but it works yeah but just because it works doesn't mean you need to keep it it's probably about 30 years old and but it's rusty

[01:30:04] it's literally rusty on the outside it's awful and i'm not sure how safe it is either if it's that old but we've organised for him to get a new it's a second hand fridge but from Delboy who's another neighbour who buys and sells stuff so he's got it in his his garage so we're going to get that when the kitchen's finished in a couple of weeks

[01:30:35] so i'm going i go for a walk oh god i said the word i took vinnie out so i had the chocolate anyway i'm finishing what i'm doing i go out take him out and just walk around i must have been out for about half an hour he was just smelling the grass as he does normally

[01:31:05] um did i see anyone oh yeah i saw there was one man that said hello to him and he actually said thank you for stopping and talking to me so that was nice and uh then he said why are you holding your hand out i said money don't get a conversation with me for nothing it's it's i charge a pound a minute

[01:31:36] we laughed and saw a car i think saw another dog owner wasn't a lot going on actually i took my hat off so i had my hat on but it was too warm to have my hat on the thing is i roughly remembered saying that to somebody that i had my hat on but then i

[01:32:05] took it off because it was warm i don't know who it was anyway we come back he did a did a he went to a toilet got rid of that and picked it up used a bag this time less washing less soap you know and so i get back and i think i'm just on the way upstairs

[01:32:37] and i see the person that takes the rubbish like he's like a he's like take stuff and pick stuff up for people and that but you know big things and stuff and i asked him about because i spoke to him before and i said is there any can you help with the with my friend's stuff so we uh he said yeah in a couple of weeks time so i arranged that with him and i said may just give me a knock

[01:33:06] and uh and then i said not so he's okay so i went went and gave my neighbour a knock and said here's what's going on you see down there i said if you come out just a look at that van he spent about 10 minutes step coming out of the door i don't know why he spent so long i know he's nearly 80 but he really it's

[01:33:36] almost like you're you're moving really slowly on purpose there i mean it was like super slow guaranteed if i said to him oh the chip van's out there he'd have moved super fast anyway um the i just explained to him what's going to happen that i've organised for him to have the old stuff he's

[01:34:06] got a cooker as well that he doesn't use that's going out the new it's old all this has been there for a long long time he's got the same cooker as me really and he's got a fridge that's going to go into the same gap as where the cooker was because he uses the air fryer doesn't need doesn't need a cooker so i do that and like okay everything's fine he wants to talk about golf and i'm like no

[01:34:36] can't talk about golf because i showed a bit of interest in golf and he just he thinks i like golf i don't i don't dislike any sport i just only interested in boxing it's the only one i've got seriously no interest in any other sport you know boxing i know about yes that's the only sport i really know about that i know quite a bit about and

[01:35:06] i've been following it since i was a kid so anyway i get indoors i think the delivery comes so i've ordered the delivery before i went out i go back and sit down the delivery comes and so i walk outside oh no this is what happens no i got it the

[01:35:36] wrong way around i come upstairs the delivery comes i then go downstairs help with the delivery then i see the person outside speak to him about the fridge because i had uber eats deliver me some groceries and then i would knock on my friends at the neighbor's door explain to him what's going on two weeks time they'll take that stuff and all that then then we'll come in then we can then i came into the my flat put the stuff

[01:36:06] away vinnie he had some treats he loves them yeah you heard the word treats didn't you sorry mate i shouldn't be saying that and then as i gave him the treats and i sit down and i thought oh i need a wee wee so i go into the into the bathroom i go into the kitchen wow i nearly said that didn't i no i went to the bathroom and did did a wee wee wash my hands

[01:36:35] and you know as quite often i do i just have a look in the mirror and just feel sorry for myself for a few minutes i couldn't believe what i saw there was toffee sticking out of my beard all over my beard from the the caramel uh cabarese dairy milk caramel so the the milk the caramel middle whatever was sticking in my beard because my beard is now too long to even feel it so it wasn't against my skin but it was just all

[01:37:05] dripping down i couldn't believe it i was walking around with that on my chin for the last hour i i've been embarrassed before many times many many many times but this this was yeah

[01:37:34] this was wrong it was just just uh anyway um that's it really i hope this has been mildly helpful i can't see how it would be but if it was then good if it wasn't then i hope it was i've got no idea how long i was talking for it seems like a long time but then in a way it doesn't

[01:38:03] should we have a look according to that it's one hour and over an hour and a half i've been talking blimey so i'm gonna go hmm i'm gonna give finney another t-r-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-t and that's that's it for me for now so thank you for

[01:38:32] listening remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle with yourself notice how the way you feel has changed since you started listening to this and if this is useful and it helps beneficial maybe let me know let other people know share the love man just i sometimes think

[01:39:02] that it's almost like on people's dirty little secret you know they found me on a weird part of the internet it's like let's not tell anyone else i wonder if people are embarrassed about me i don't know anyway thanks for listening and i will be back again soon take care lots of love

[01:39:29] not just allow you to feel

[01:39:58] calm and together here just relaxed at the end of the recording when it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace

[01:40:24] but also be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue

[01:40:53] for longer after the recording is ended so that you can still benefit from listening to my voice in a few hours time

[01:41:19] by listening regularly especially if you find like some people do and myself as well i sometimes i'll find one particular recording that really resonates with me

[01:41:46] and i'll just listen to it over and over again every morning every evening recording from back to about 1999 it was it wasn't hypnosis but it was a guided

[01:42:16] visualization so it kind of was hypnosis really i managed to find it again and it still has the same effect the person's voice just felt so

[01:42:46] peaceful i'd look forward to listening to her in the morning and in the evening before even pressing the play button that as soon as i've done that

[01:43:15] press the play button this was in the days of cd players press the play button in fact it might have even been a tape tape recorder i'd lie down on the bed and then

[01:43:44] even without necessarily listening to her words because it was as if my body exactly what to do

[01:44:10] the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation remember my mind

[01:44:38] would slow down i was listening to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis and long before i ever made any videos

[01:45:07] or audio recordings myself because i didn't start doing that until 2006 i were

[01:45:37] to just let go in the person i'm listening to and that it's going to be just as relaxing if if not more so each

[01:46:07] time you hear my voice you may feel the same some people have been listening to me for over a decade not solidly

[01:46:37] obviously not 24 hours a day maybe people come back maybe listen every day there's something that i do which you may not realise

[01:47:06] that i

[01:47:39] say so if i focus on your feet notice your feet relaxing i will be focusing on my feet i

[01:48:23] said focus on your hands and maybe notice the difference between each

[01:48:57] almost feels like a very light breeze even though there may not be any type of breeze at all where you are as you become aware of

[01:50:00] ones to potentially dream which may be the reason you're listening also

[01:50:30] notice in fact at times i've actually fallen asleep

[01:51:12] listen back to do i hear snoring when it was a pig that's what i sound like when i snore

[01:52:08] you're feeling your feet noticed

[01:53:01] easier your breathing become soul muscle relaxation this allows you

[01:53:42] necessarily focusing

[01:53:47] so very

[01:54:45] easily

[01:55:46] visualize producing all that

[01:56:42] just taking some to

[01:58:07] just because

[02:00:53] nothing physical sensations

[02:01:23] stress to

[02:06:14] muscles front of your body focus

[02:07:57] on your mind

[02:11:40] messages spreading

[02:13:13] those signals down your spine or

[02:14:43] tips of your toes and

[02:17:37] center

[02:24:14] and you

[02:34:24] could start to notice that you are feeling even though i've focused your mind sense of physical is growing within you

[02:34:50] i guess my speech not being particularly fast it's

[02:35:23] generally just by listening to my voice give yourself an opportunity take a break give

[02:35:54] yourself a rest giving yourself permission to take some time releases the tension any stresses that you

[02:36:24] have almost as if the parts of your body just open up replacing that negativity with positive

[02:38:21] reset itself to the settings and

[02:39:28] it feels nice and

[02:40:12] as I focus this

[02:42:15] isn't a sterile

[02:44:10] just to

[02:48:29] be an extra special

[02:50:45] muscles starting

[03:07:43] with number 20

[03:43:31] just notice how you feel generally how your body feels it's not necessarily even it's that space so

[03:44:57] there's that gap of it's a nice feeling stresses or discomfort physically or so

[03:45:46] I'm going to count

[03:55:00] as you focus on a

[03:57:11] physics perspective or logical forces

[03:57:44] or
