PLEASE RECOMMEND OTHER, SIMILAR, FAST PACED VIDEOS BELOW! People are asking for recommendations a lot in the comments, so I thought it might be convenient for everyone to be able to reference one easy-to-find pinned comment here. Please note, however, that if you post a link in your comment, it may be automatically sent to a spam folder and held there until I get a chance to approve it. If you'd like to avoid that, it's safer to just write the artist/channel name and video title.
Here's The Secret Subject reading a "confusion induction" from The Handbook of Hypnotic Inductions. This video and technique heavily influenced my own video above. ua-cam.com/video/x67iTTgwsyE/v-deo.html
This video by Karuna Satori also inspired some of the techniques in my video. PLEASE NOTE: Her video is a role play that adapts EMDR techniques, which involves recalling and processing traumatic events. She addresses the need to be careful multiple times, but I also want to urge you to please be very thoughtful and careful about engaging in this role play if you have a history of trauma.
A viewer recommended Marno ASMR in another comment thread here. I haven't checked him out myself yet, but I did just glance at his channel and it looks like he has fast paced videos: ua-cam.com/channels/4RdEwzh0r3CuTEElRQ6dpg.html
This will sound like a joke but I'm being sincere: As someone with Inattentive ADHD (formerly known as ADD), falling asleep can be hard because I get bored while I wait for the ASMRtist to finish their gently drawn-out sentences. The fast pace knocked me out so hard that I almost fell asleep at my desk, and now I'm about to nap harcore to this. Instant favorite! ♡♡♡
Yes! I feel quite similar. I have trouble sleeping because I have trouble turning my brain off, as soon as I get into bed I get racing anxious thoughts, and I need asmr to be aggressive/fast enough to snap my brain out of that cycle and then keep my attention. The beginning of this video, with the visualizations, shapes, and color changes, was some of my favorite content ever!
These comments made me so happy!❤️ In its very first phase, I was thinking of this as something targeted toward people with ADHD, but then decided to expand it to make it more general. I’m so glad this worked as intended for you, thank you for letting me know!
I was thinking about the way that Dr. Ned Hallowell has described ADHD brains as having “a Ferrari engine, but the brakes of a bicycle.” I wanted to create a piece of ASMR content that would help slam the brakes before transitioning into the slower stuff.
Please please please make more videos like the first 10 minutes. I also have ADHD and have a lot of trouble falling asleep, I could listen to hours of that fast paced content
Since a few people have expressed concern, I want you all to know that I’m very much hoping to produce more content with my live, actual, active face moving around in it. Though I’ve made many attempts, I unfortunately haven’t been able to successfully film any “face to face” video content since last February. There are a variety of things that continue to make filming very challenging: I live in a city, in an area that’s been developing (and getting louder) rapidly over the past few years; I have three young children, who seem to have secretly agreed to take turns waking up and refusing to go back to sleep each time I film; and, finally, the medications I take for my mental health have done wonders for improving my quality of life, but they also make it very difficult for me to be alert enough to work during the only semi-quiet hours in my neighborhood (between midnight and 4 A.M.). BUT ... I haven’t given up on it, and my husband and I are currently looking into the feasibility of financing a soundproof booth for our home that would be large enough to film in. In the meantime, I will probably continue to produce mostly audio-only content as it’s significantly easier to create under these current circumstances. Thank you all for your continued support! I hope to be making content for you for a long, long time. Please know that I’m always making as much ASMR content for you as I possibly can-both for you AND for me, because I truly love creating it.
So glad to see you JB! I’m glad to hear you’re doing well, I’ve definitely worried a little bit. No worries on the lack of video - I don’t know how many people I speak for, but I always listen only anyways :) Thanks as always for the video! Also... I appreciate that you put the proper accent marks in smörgåsbord. You fancy lady, you.
I still enjoy the past few videos, and your old ones are so good that I can return to some endlessly with no immunity. Keep up the good work and thank you for always helping me sleep!
Please please please do a neurological exam video! You’re so wonderful at medical asmr I wish you were actually my doctor!! Please full neuro exam?:) thank you.
This one starts out FAST (on purpose!) but begins to slow down about a third of the way in. It features a smörgåsbord of techniques that I've adapted from all my favorite anxiety relief videos on UA-cam. There are elements of ASMR, hypnosis, and guided meditation. The goal of this experimental technique is to interrupt your panicked thoughts by engaging your mind with a steady stream of questions and sensory information, and to then gradually guide you into a relaxed state.
These are actually really good skills to help people calm down. Being asked to complete simple pointless tasks can help people regain control in a panic attack .
The fast paced style in the beginning was incredible. I think this is good asmr for people who have a tolerance built up from traditional roleplay techniques.
I’ve been coming back to this video for years to help me sleep, it is truly a godsend. The anxiety interruption is perfect for calming my mind down for sleep.
The "I need to see you're making an effort" was so teacher-y that it caused instant tingles for me, because it made it feel all the more real, like there would be some sort of consequence (bad result, etc.) if I didn't. It was lovely. Also the fast pace was AMAZING. Thank you!
Hahaha ... I made that same connection very early on while writing this and changed some of the original phrasing to try and avoid it. I figured at least a few people would still pick up on it though.😂❤️
@@JBGreenASMR that would be hilarious if you did make a video based on that idea though. i wouldn't be relaxing but i would definitely be howling with laughter.
I'm not lying when i say this is probably the most important video on yt for me. I come back soo many times when i can't fall asleep and it has helped me so so often! Thank you so much
i have been unusually anxious this week and dealing with racing thoughts instead of the usual vague sense of dread. sometimes i forget what i learned in therapy and start sitting with the thought spirals instead of dismissing them. this video has been perfect for stopping my thought spirals when im not strong enough to do it alone. i love all the simple questions and visualization exercises, and your fast pace is perfect. it’s like you know exactly how racing thoughts feel and matched the pace :) thank you for coming up with this technique and posting it for us! you are so skilled at helping people.
Hey JB, I know there is a likelihood you will never see this, but this video has been genuinely one of the most helpful tools for me in coping with dissociation and getting grounded. I cannot express how appreciative I am of you making content like this, and hope you’ll do more similar content in the future. 💖
I can tell I'm probably going to visit this video often. You do well with all of your videos, and I personally have social anxiety. I love that you put out so much content to help others. I love your channel, JB! You're such a great ASMR UA-camr. Thank you for all you do.
Hypnosis is my favorite trigger because it requires deliberate speech, which gives me lots of tingles. And you are perfect at it JB! Glad to have you back
No matter how many times I listen to this, I always expect her to say "hundreds of relaxing videos every DAY" like she's hooked up to ASMRtube Clockwork Orange-style
This is actually great. I tend to gravitate towards asmr that focuses on audio triggers so I can shut my eyes, otherwise I force myself stay up to enjoy the visuals, so having the visual aspect described so I can just imagine it is perfect.
Warmth, coldness and pain (nociception) signals reach the brain through the spinothalamic pathway. Was just studying what these sensations are at the physical level, and along comes this video and helps me take an imaginary tour of the neural pathways I was just reading about. I deeply appreciate the effort and love that goes into creating work like this.
This video has been one I've revisited so often since you posted it. It's helped me keep moving during times when my depression has been particularly bad (basically since March) and actually helped stop more than one anxiety attack. I hope you have success in your treatment, I'm glad to hear that you're as ok as you are.
I’ve actually never seen the word smorgasbord typed out before. Had no idea how it would be spelled lol Hope you’re doing well. Always glad to see a video from you!
Lola, I just wanted to thank you deeply for this masterpiece. For the last 2-3 years, this one is my go to whenever I have a major anxiety crisis before sleep. Thank you so much for creating, it has helped fall sleep so many times I can't count them 🥹
Every few weeks I play an ASMR video at work to relax my brain from thinking too hard about a problem. I ALWAYS regret it. I get so relaxed I'm falling asleep at my desk, even if I'm still working. Then I do it again a few weeks later because the feeling of relaxation is so nice and I keep forgetting that it also puts me to sleep 😩
This is great! I love how there's so many instructions coming at me rapid fire because it's too much for my brain to wander off and think about every stupid thing I've done in the last 15 years
This video has gotten me through so many panics over the last year, from miscommunication with a girl I liked, to fights with my best friend, to trying to get home in March, to protesting this summer, and to, tonight, thinking about grad school applications. The way that adhd and anxiety combine for me means that most meditations aimed at calming you down move too slowly and give me too much time to get caught in my thoughts. This video has truly been so helpful in getting me to stop thinking for just a moment, in a year so full of worries. Thank you, JB, you’ve genuinely given me a really valuable tool in handling my brain and I’m very grateful for it
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, and your video helps me snap out of my mental cage and force my brain to focus and go in a different direction. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Somehow I missed this one! There was a moment in the beginning that gave me big tingles when I realized, 'Oh, wait, the roleplay has started.' For some reason that moment of transition between actual instructions and fictional instructions, without a buffer, was very effective.
I have yet to find an asmr video that works as well as this one at getting my anxiety to shut up. Hopefully this style of asmr becomes more common in the future!!
This is one of my favorite ASMR videos anywhere. But I think interacting with the same video so often is bound to cause some weird responses. For instance today for the first time ever I managed to follow the shape exercise. I'm rather proud of myself at that one. I started out with a navy blue sphere and ended up with a dark red cube. Also when the light wand part came up I was already half asleep and thought "no don't pass it over my heart, it'll stop beating" lmao
All I could picture during the intro is elastagirl from the incredibles. Edit: this is bloody incredible. Fast paced is my new favourite trigger, it’s so rhythmic and relaxing.
Just had another rough day, and this has been my go-to video for 18 months when I need to calm my brain and go to sleep. I'd love to hear another like it. Maybe on another week when video isn't possible to record?
My anxiety has been much worse this week than it’s been all year. Most asmr videos move slowly enough that I’ve got plenty of time to spiral in my head. This video has been invaluable in getting my brain to turn off each night. Thank you for this, JB, hope you’re doing well
This video is so helpful. No matter how many times I come back to it, it always works to take my mind off whatever I’m fixating on/panicking about and get some sleep. Thanks so much, JB! 💛
I love the pace of this because it keeps my mind from wandering you much (which is often why I have trouble sleeping). The lack of visuals is good for me too because sometimes I feel too compelled to keep my eyes open which also keeps me up. This video is the first ASMR video in a long time which I really struggled to get through without falling asleep! Thank you!!!
I can’t explain how much I love this video, I believe someone else commented this but, with ADHD it’s a struggle to go to sleep, with or without asmr, getting distracted, become hyper fixated on the story’s in other asmrs or get bored and go off looking at comments or other videos, however this video is amazing for keeping me in the flow while also making me sleeping!! So from the bottom of my heart thank you jb 💕
So good to have you back! This video is -as all your videos- first class. Very good idea to change the pace. It forced me to concentrate in the beginning and then put me in a perfectly relaxed mood, i nearly fell asleep while sitting at my desk! I love your soothing voice. And I love to see you in your videos but this imaginary type of video is as good. Thanks for this video! :-)
Thank you. I know you made this ages ago, but I wanted to let you know how helpful this one was to me today. I started realizing I was about to have a panic attack today that would derail my day. I don’t have a lot of panic attacks these days but when I do, they mess my day up. I figured I’d sit down with one of your videos and then realized this was the one I should try since I hadn’t watched it. It shut my attack down and left me dozing but still paying just enough attention to come up at the end, which is not the norm when I watch ASMR videos. Usually I completely fall asleep, so I’m not sure what was different here. Anywho thank you again.
Just a note to show appreciation for this upload, which is now my most watched ASMR video. It reveals new insights with every viewing. My imagination get's oddly creative with some questions - Imagine a house - House MD. Imagine a mountain - the Mountain dude from GOT. Imagine a river - River Phoenix... At other times I just let my mind wander and the imagery is an insight by itself. It's unlikely that anyone is reading this, or cares for the following proposal, but I highly recommend watching this with a blackout sleep mask on... the kind that let's you keep your eyes open, but let's in ZERO light (available from other necessary but evil conglomerates online...) as it allows you to imagine with your eyes wide open. Incredibly fun. Much respect to the ASMRtist for this content and for interrupting anxiety I didn't have, and coaxing revelations from my daydreaming mind. Thanks.
This is so relaxing. I find that I end up getting distracted by other things while watching really slow and gentle ASMR sometimes. Ive listened to this 5 times now and i get instant tingles every time! Thank you so much!!
I keep coming back to this video everytime I feel depressed and cant stop the thoughts racing through my head. Recently, I went through a breakup after placing a lot of hopes in this relationship, and my beloved 15 year old cat passed away. I often cry in bed sleepless even though I have to get up and go to work on the next day... this video is one of the few things that actually help me calm down
I loooove snapping! It's one of my strongest triggers, but whenever I search for ASMR videos with snapping, it's always the watered-down snapping that sounds more like fingers softly rubbing together. Your clear sharp snaps made me so happy!
This is one of my FAVOURITES of yours; I dont mind audio only videos either, I shut my eyes and lose consciousness too fast to care, tbh. Wow, the fast paced stuff is special and good! It really calms the monkey mind, at least it works wonders for mine...
I can’t listen to those gentle calming videos because I feel like they make my anxiety worse by even talking about tigger words, but this video doesn’t give me time to dwell on what my brain is worrying about and I fell asleep so fast. Thanks!
I hope you do more videos like this one. The stern voice and fast-paced setting in the beginning was a nice change and I could feel my eyes getting heavy before the video was halfway over. Definitely a new favorite of mine!
This video continues to help me so much. I like your newer anti anxiety videos, but this one is special-I think having to imagine everything engages my brain even more than having visual things to track, I can’t just follow the pen with my eyes while my brain gets stuck in anxious patterns, my brain has to be involved the whole time. There’s a lot of stuff I really can’t think about right now if I want to sleep and I’m grateful for this video’s ability to distract me from all of it
Love love love this! I tend to overthink at night when I’m ready to fall asleep and end up not being able to actually fall asleep. This allowed me to focus enough to instantly knock me out. Thank you thank you thank you and please film more of these!!,
I've been returning to this video so frequently to help me distract my mind enough to sleep. THANK YOU! I loved this (blend of) technique and would love to see more similar!
I just want to say, thank you so much! Every time my anxiety start I listen to this video and help me a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to help others with this horrible illness 😗😗 God bless you!
This was fantastic. I don't always find non-visuals as effective, but this had such a powerful effect on me. Thank you for your unexpected and innovative ideas
I had a panic attack yesterday night, haven’t been able to shake off the anxiety ever since. I felt like I was constantly on the verge of having another one and was fighting with myself all day. This video finally put an end to it and made me feel better. I don’t know what I would have done without it. Thank you so much for what you do, you really have no idea to what extent you are helping people.
I've found this really helpful in kinda breaking anxiety spirals, the other day when I was away from a computer I actually started just saying it to myself, like an exercise going between the pens and imagining the certain images, it really worked for me
This was so great for my anxiety! I have inattentive ADHD so my mind goes a mile a minute and my body doesn't. I constantly have to have 2 stimuli going at one time to focus, and to have my conscious thought process and hearing focused on the video is really comfy and calming. The random little sounds like finger snapping that draw you back to the video are really helpful too! Thank you so much :))
Just wanted to say thank you for this vid. Was having some kind of breakdown over having to go back to work this morning last night, and it got me to stop spiralling long enough to pass out for a little bit beforehand. Appreciate the effort you put into these.
I think I comment on this video every other month or so, but I just feel the need to keep letting you know how much this video helps me. I’m in a really bad patch of anxiety right now and nothing is working to get me to sleep except this video. As I’ve said before (and I’ll probably say again), thank you so much for this video. I truly appreciate it so much. Hope you’re doing well

Thank you for this video. I have been using this to fall asleep every night for weeks. It is amazing. Thank you for what you do.
So strange, so less views. Absolutely ingenious video, perfect product. Very underrated job
This is one of my favorite ASMR videos anywhere. But I think interacting with the same video so often is bound to cause some weird responses. For instance today for the first time ever I managed to follow the shape exercise. I'm rather proud of myself at that one. I started out with a navy blue sphere and ended up with a dark red cube.
Also when the light wand part came up I was already half asleep and thought "no don't pass it over my heart, it'll stop beating" lmao
My heart. Is leaping. With joy! 🥰 We missed you, JB! Thanks for the tingles. 💚
All I could picture during the intro is elastagirl from the incredibles.
Edit: this is bloody incredible. Fast paced is my new favourite trigger, it’s so rhythmic and relaxing.
I love her! Thank you so much.
Glad to see you back jb!!
Just had another rough day, and this has been my go-to video for 18 months when I need to calm my brain and go to sleep. I'd love to hear another like it. Maybe on another week when video isn't possible to record?
My anxiety has been much worse this week than it’s been all year. Most asmr videos move slowly enough that I’ve got plenty of time to spiral in my head. This video has been invaluable in getting my brain to turn off each night. Thank you for this, JB, hope you’re doing well
This video is so helpful. No matter how many times I come back to it, it always works to take my mind off whatever I’m fixating on/panicking about and get some sleep. Thanks so much, JB! 💛
I love the pace of this because it keeps my mind from wandering you much (which is often why I have trouble sleeping). The lack of visuals is good for me too because sometimes I feel too compelled to keep my eyes open which also keeps me up.
This video is the first ASMR video in a long time which I really struggled to get through without falling asleep! Thank you!!!
One of the best asmr videos of all time, seriously
Thank you!
Hi, your voice is so relaxing
Whew! The speed, time of voice and especially the clicking between questions- knocked me right out!
This is exactly what I needed. Incredibly relaxing. Bless up JB!
You may do a similar video. This style is so relaxing and helpful, and you haven't repeated it.
I can’t explain how much I love this video, I believe someone else commented this but, with ADHD it’s a struggle to go to sleep, with or without asmr, getting distracted, become hyper fixated on the story’s in other asmrs or get bored and go off looking at comments or other videos, however this video is amazing for keeping me in the flow while also making me sleeping!! So from the bottom of my heart thank you jb 💕
This cuts through my obsessive overthinking like nothing else I've ever tried, thank you so much
Thanks for still uploading JB! I know a while ago you were going through a lot, and I really appreciate you uploading content for us. Much love xx
I loved every second of this video- even the disclaimer! Nice to have you back Ms.Green!
Sweet goodness, a new video from JB! Perfect divine timing; I needed this right now. Thank you for making our day much better. My love and blessings.
So good to have you back! This video is -as all your videos- first class. Very good idea to change the pace. It forced me to concentrate in the beginning and then put me in a perfectly relaxed mood, i nearly fell asleep while sitting at my desk! I love your soothing voice. And I love to see you in your videos but this imaginary type of video is as good. Thanks for this video! :-)
Thank you. I know you made this ages ago, but I wanted to let you know how helpful this one was to me today. I started realizing I was about to have a panic attack today that would derail my day. I don’t have a lot of panic attacks these days but when I do, they mess my day up. I figured I’d sit down with one of your videos and then realized this was the one I should try since I hadn’t watched it. It shut my attack down and left me dozing but still paying just enough attention to come up at the end, which is not the norm when I watch ASMR videos. Usually I completely fall asleep, so I’m not sure what was different here. Anywho thank you again.
Just a note to show appreciation for this upload, which is now my most watched ASMR video. It reveals new insights with every viewing. My imagination get's oddly creative with some questions - Imagine a house - House MD. Imagine a mountain - the Mountain dude from GOT. Imagine a river - River Phoenix... At other times I just let my mind wander and the imagery is an insight by itself. It's unlikely that anyone is reading this, or cares for the following proposal, but I highly recommend watching this with a blackout sleep mask on... the kind that let's you keep your eyes open, but let's in ZERO light (available from other necessary but evil conglomerates online...) as it allows you to imagine with your eyes wide open. Incredibly fun. Much respect to the ASMRtist for this content and for interrupting anxiety I didn't have, and coaxing revelations from my daydreaming mind. Thanks.
I’ve rewatched this a solid 3-4 times now, I love the speed, it outpaces my anxiety brain so I can’t keep myself awake by overthinking
This is so relaxing. I find that I end up getting distracted by other things while watching really slow and gentle ASMR sometimes. Ive listened to this 5 times now and i get instant tingles every time! Thank you so much!!
SIR. This video has been deemed suitable for all advertisers, I’ll thank you not to jeopardize that.
I keep coming back to this video everytime I feel depressed and cant stop the thoughts racing through my head. Recently, I went through a breakup after placing a lot of hopes in this relationship, and my beloved 15 year old cat passed away. I often cry in bed sleepless even though I have to get up and go to work on the next day... this video is one of the few things that actually help me calm down
I loooove snapping! It's one of my strongest triggers, but whenever I search for ASMR videos with snapping, it's always the watered-down snapping that sounds more like fingers softly rubbing together. Your clear sharp snaps made me so happy!
This is one of my FAVOURITES of yours; I dont mind audio only videos either, I shut my eyes and lose consciousness too fast to care, tbh. Wow, the fast paced stuff is special and good! It really calms the monkey mind, at least it works wonders for mine...
I can’t listen to those gentle calming videos because I feel like they make my anxiety worse by even talking about tigger words, but this video doesn’t give me time to dwell on what my brain is worrying about and I fell asleep so fast. Thanks!
I'm so glad you're posting again, you're one of my favourites
I would absolutely love another one of these videos. They help me relax and sleep so much.
Im a simple man, JB uploads, i click 😴
I hope you do more videos like this one. The stern voice and fast-paced setting in the beginning was a nice change and I could feel my eyes getting heavy before the video was halfway over.
Definitely a new favorite of mine!
This video continues to help me so much. I like your newer anti anxiety videos, but this one is special-I think having to imagine everything engages my brain even more than having visual things to track, I can’t just follow the pen with my eyes while my brain gets stuck in anxious patterns, my brain has to be involved the whole time. There’s a lot of stuff I really can’t think about right now if I want to sleep and I’m grateful for this video’s ability to distract me from all of it
Yay! So excited for this video.
Got up early on my day off, decided to take a nap, got a JBG notification... yessssssss
This one is a masterpiece!!!!!!
Ahhhh Jelly is baaaack.🥰 This is perfect for me ...RIGHT NOW. 👍♥️🌠
I listen to this video atleast twice a week. I can’t tell you how much your videos have improved my sleep schedule❤️
Love love love this! I tend to overthink at night when I’m ready to fall asleep and end up not being able to actually fall asleep. This allowed me to focus enough to instantly knock me out. Thank you thank you thank you and please film more of these!!,
I've been returning to this video so frequently to help me distract my mind enough to sleep. THANK YOU! I loved this (blend of) technique and would love to see more similar!
This is the single best ASMR video! I have watched this so many times. Thank you!
I just want to say, thank you so much! Every time my anxiety start I listen to this video and help me a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to help others with this horrible illness 😗😗 God bless you!
This was fantastic. I don't always find non-visuals as effective, but this had such a powerful effect on me. Thank you for your unexpected and innovative ideas
I had a panic attack yesterday night, haven’t been able to shake off the anxiety ever since. I felt like I was constantly on the verge of having another one and was fighting with myself all day. This video finally put an end to it and made me feel better. I don’t know what I would have done without it. Thank you so much for what you do, you really have no idea to what extent you are helping people.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you sharing this with me.
I've found this really helpful in kinda breaking anxiety spirals, the other day when I was away from a computer I actually started just saying it to myself, like an exercise going between the pens and imagining the certain images, it really worked for me
i cant even count how many times ive come back to this just for the shape portion 😭 id love more videos like that
I have listened to this at least twice a day since you came out with it! Please make more like this!!! Amazing! Perfection!
I havent had a “favourite” asmr vid for years this works so well for me
So glad to see you putting out content :) Hope all is well with your health and your family! Don't tell anybody, but you're my favorite!
This was so great for my anxiety! I have inattentive ADHD so my mind goes a mile a minute and my body doesn't. I constantly have to have 2 stimuli going at one time to focus, and to have my conscious thought process and hearing focused on the video is really comfy and calming. The random little sounds like finger snapping that draw you back to the video are really helpful too! Thank you so much :))
JB! Welcome back!
Thank you!
This video is amazing, so relaxing, profesional and helpful.
This might be the best ASMR vid I’ve ever seen.
This is such a great method. Thank you so much 🌟
One of the best ASMR videos I've experienced in a long time. This is incredible, it helped me a lot with my anxiety. Thank you!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate this!
Just wanted to say thank you for this vid. Was having some kind of breakdown over having to go back to work this morning last night, and it got me to stop spiralling long enough to pass out for a little bit beforehand. Appreciate the effort you put into these.
I think I comment on this video every other month or so, but I just feel the need to keep letting you know how much this video helps me. I’m in a really bad patch of anxiety right now and nothing is working to get me to sleep except this video. As I’ve said before (and I’ll probably say again), thank you so much for this video. I truly appreciate it so much. Hope you’re doing well
