Okay, so I
had another post planned for today, but yesterday I pulled a muscle
in my back. It's almost recovered but it helped ensure that I woke up
constantly throughout the night. Then I was woken up by the
delightful sound of several chainsaws and edge-trimmers singing a
chorus outside my house. As a result, my brain is foggy to say the
least, and I had to come up with another plan.
And then
it hit me. You see, when I have one of those “too tired to think
straight” days I'm usually also fairly sensitive. I can't follow
complex plot-lines and I'm definitely not in the mood for anything
nasty, stressful or emotionally difficult. So today I'm sharing some
of my secret (and not so secret) relaxing channels on Youtube.
Channels
that are fun, friendly, positive and just make me feel good. A warm
cup of tea for the brain so to say.
First up
we have emmymadeinjapan.
Emmy is a
super positive woman who delights in testing weird old recipes, old
kitchen gadgets, depression era food etc. I've learned a thing or two
about cooking from her, but my main takeaway is the incredible
positivity she radiates.
Next up is
How To Drink.
This
channel is all about cocktails and history. How drinks are made, when
they were invented, even fictional drinks from shows like Game of
Thrones and Star Trek. The smooth jazz music, the lighting and the
almost pornographic slow motion pours are a soothing salve for a
tired brain. It's charm and information wrapped in a warm blanket,
even if you don't really care about cocktails.
Finally I
want to share Black Magic Craft.
This is
all about model making. Mainly terrain and buildings but he dips into
other stuff as well from time to time. Again, the atmosphere is ultra
relaxing but here it's coupled with seeing something take shape in
front of you. Foam, paint and glue comes together to create something
incredible. Well worth giving a shot even if you have no interest in
models or table top gaming.
There are
of course others, but these three should be a good starting point if
you want more. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to relax a little.
Until next time, have a great and soothing week!
