Enhance Your Writing Experience With ASMR Videos

Do you ever feel like you aren’t in the mood to write?

There are days when we have the time to dive into our story, but we are feeling too stressed to get down to business. This fun discovery helps me deal with stress when it gets in the way of my storytelling. Have you tried watching ASMR videos?

What are ASMR Videos?

These are videos that simulate an environment that helps with stress relief, concentration, or focus.

ASMR stands for an autonomous sensory meridian response. They commonly use placid sights and sounds such as crackles, whispers, and accents to create a calming sensation.

ASMR videos have been proven to offer people feelings of relaxation. The sensation experienced is often described as a tingling, warm, or pleasant feeling that begins at the crown of the head and spreads down the body. Many times this sensation is referred to as “brain tingles”.

YouTube is host to more than 13 million ASMR videos. These results are comprised of haircuts, massages, folding towels, medical examinations, and more. People use these videos to relieve stress, sleep better, or relax in general.

Which ASMR Videos do I Watch?

My favourite ASMR videos are usually connected to fandoms that I know and love. Many times I find myself listening to the pitter-patter of rain inside Forks, Washington. When I’m not trying to live out my favourite fandoms, I search for ASMR videos that mimic the sounds of a storm or the crackling of a fire in a library. Here’s an example:

Another example I can share is what a fellow author friend prefers: ASMR videos of being on a train. The train rattling on the tacks is subtle enough to keep them focused. I admit I’m starting to enjoy the train ASMR videos since I tried them out too.

Why Did I Start Watching?

I’m an overthinker who gets stressed out easily. ASMR videos calm me in a way that makes plotting my stories clearer. I also find that I can put on an ASMR video that cultivates a creative work environment that gets me into the right headspace. Basically, it’s so I can always write.
