ASMR aka, autonomous sensory meridian response has been trendy when it comes to internet-based relaxation. Whether it's diving into retro Bob Ross videos or watching Cardi B take a crack at her own version of ASMR, the audio and sometimes visual experience is meant to help you feel a sense of calm and relaxation.
The goal of RADIO.COM's I'm Listening initiative is here to remind us that mental health should always be a priority and that talking about mental health can save lives. Our ASMR playlist is a simple activity that you can take part in order to do something for your mental well-being. After all, relaxation is a serotonin booster.
This year's I'm Listening live broadcast takes place on September 23 and will feature powerful conversations with artists and athletes about the trials and tribulations that come with the mental health journey. Stay tuned for more details on September 9.

The 13 minute long video takes us through various sounds that Cardi is creating with her voice and with everyday objects.
2.ASMR Darling

From crunching cheez-its, to coloring, to tapping her nails… the viral star shares four hours worth of soothing ASMR triggers in this video.
3.Visual Triggers
Some ASMR YouTube experts also give us a visual trigger in their video so it feels like you're really being brushed or touched by the sounds they are also creating. Peace and Saraity includes multiple soothing visual triggers in her video. Visual triggers often help to control our breathe and relax our muscles.
4.Slime
Sometimes the most uncommon things offer the most satisfying experiences. The Best Satisfying YouTube channel provides hours of ASMR content based around the sounds of sticky, gooey and crunchy slime objects. From shaving cream to Jell-O, nothing is off limits.
