Shownotes

This episode is for you if you struggle with disappointment and if you can't make sense of repetitive negative thoughts.

Let me guess your monkey mind is pretty active and tells you all kinds of stuff on a daily if not hourly, am I right ?

How about we try and turn the volume down of your monkey mind?

 Cause what it might whisper in your ear:

"You are not ready." 

"You are not enough."

"You are not in the right place." 

"You don’t have the right resources."

"You don’t have any support." 

"You don't have time."

"You are a failure."

"Why would you deserve joy and peace??"

Bla bla bla blaaaaaa bla blaa!!

Those kind of thoughts are super exhausting and can get really annoying for the people around you if you see expressing them.

Free yourself from the ongoing destructive chatter. 


Discover who you are without all this clutter in your mind. 



With love

A.

Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm

Unknown:

your host Aurora, life coach and companion on this beautiful

Unknown:

journey called life. I hope you're doing well. I hope you

Unknown:

feel good, you feel safe, you feel light and uplifted. And if

Unknown:

you do not feel that way today, I hope I can brighten up your

Unknown:

day and inspire you empower you. I'm so very grateful to be

Unknown:

spending a couple minutes with you. And thank you so much for

Unknown:

choosing my podcast here. Today, I want to talk about your mind

Unknown:

and how your mind can be your worst enemy and trickster. All

Unknown:

too often we think that our circumstances, other people,

Unknown:

just the world outside of us is making our life miserable and

Unknown:

difficult. And yes, sometimes it's the case. But what I want

Unknown:

to say today is that most of the time, it is our mind, it is our

Unknown:

ego, it is our old self that is trying to hold us back that is

Unknown:

trying to hold us in the well known. And it is very difficult

Unknown:

to point it out and to call yourself out on this. Let's call

Unknown:

it BS. Because we feel that our thoughts are so true. We feel

Unknown:

that our situation is so hopeless, we feel that we really

Unknown:

are not resourceful enough to conquer certain situations. And

Unknown:

it is really, yeah, tough to be in a position where you feel

Unknown:

hopeless and unsupported. And then you're being made aware of

Unknown:

your mind and how it is playing games and how you are supported,

Unknown:

you are loved, you have all the resources you need to be

Unknown:

successful to be content to live a fulfilled life. Yet your own

Unknown:

mind is putting stones in your way. And it is a coping

Unknown:

mechanism I want to say it is a way of our mind to trying to

Unknown:

protect us from potential future pain, we must have gone through

Unknown:

some kind of trauma in the past that our mind that our brain is

Unknown:

trying to prevent us from making mistakes again. But what it does

Unknown:

when we believe in these thoughts in these limiting

Unknown:

beliefs is that we close ourselves up to new paths to new

Unknown:

ways of seeing the world to a new attitude. Sometimes, yeah,

Unknown:

it feels very uncomfortable to be on a new path. And we don't

Unknown:

really know what's going to happen, it's uncertain. We feel

Unknown:

we are a pioneer. And at times we feel very courageous and

Unknown:

brave. But then there will be days where doubt, especially

Unknown:

self doubt, will creep up on us and where a little comment from

Unknown:

a person in our life can just totally throw us off off or no

Unknown:

comment from our people around us and no approval. That can

Unknown:

also throw us off when we feel insecure and uncertain. So I

Unknown:

think what I want to share with you is that the tricky part

Unknown:

about becoming your strongest version, your best version is to

Unknown:

keep believing in yourself and to keep pushing for novelty and

Unknown:

expansion. And of course to allow breaks as well and to know

Unknown:

that

Unknown:

growth is not a linear process. as they can be little detours,

Unknown:

they can be breaks and rest of which are incredibly important.

Unknown:

You have to take breaks, and look at how far you came and be

Unknown:

proud of yourself and, and then continue, you can just push for

Unknown:

progress and growth all the time. But let's look at someone

Unknown:

like me, for instance, who is on the path of becoming an

Unknown:

entrepreneur. I'm a life coach, and I'm growing my business. And

Unknown:

of course, there's days at times where I feel overwhelmed, where

Unknown:

I'm so uncertain about how my path is gonna look like. But I

Unknown:

have to keep going, I can't go back. I don't want to go back. I

Unknown:

know exactly what I want. But still, there's days where I feel

Unknown:

unsupported, where I feel uncertain where I wish I was

Unknown:

employed and had a regular paycheck. But it is okay to be

Unknown:

uncertain. And I have to tell my ego and my mind that it is okay.

Unknown:

to not feel supported at times, to feel supported, and to have

Unknown:

support from the outside world is a bonus. But you got to

Unknown:

believe in yourself. First, I have to believe in myself first.

Unknown:

Because no one else can do this. They will know how to support

Unknown:

you, if they don't know, if you really want what you're pushing

Unknown:

for. And sometimes we do the people around us wrong in

Unknown:

thinking that they are not supporting us. Maybe they just

Unknown:

don't know. Maybe you just don't express yourself enough with

Unknown:

what your dreams will look like or are looking like. And

Unknown:

sometimes we are so caught up in pain from the past, that we

Unknown:

project the pain from the past, onto the present moment. And

Unknown:

even into the future. Right? If you grew up with a sibling, and

Unknown:

your sibling, you know was maybe successful at a sport or found

Unknown:

their purpose or found a good job that they're really

Unknown:

passionate about. And you to this day don't really know what

Unknown:

life is about and what the purpose is here. So you feel

Unknown:

that your parents prefer your sibling, you feel insecure, you

Unknown:

feel inferior. But you're actually doing your parents

Unknown:

wrong, because they probably love you just as much as your

Unknown:

sibling. But it is you who's insecure and frustrated that you

Unknown:

don't have found that you didn't find sorry, your purpose yet. So

Unknown:

it is incredibly important to work on your stuff and to know

Unknown:

that you can count on yourself. And the only way to do this is

Unknown:

to get to know your Self best. And to know that you have flaws,

Unknown:

you have weaknesses, you have strength, you have moods, you

Unknown:

have a past, you have made mistakes, you failed maybe

Unknown:

already. But this is all not an excuse to go and read for your

Unknown:

dreams and to aim high to dream really big. It is so important

Unknown:

to also have that one person that you can go and talk to when

Unknown:

you feel self doubt creeping up. I'm just thinking about this now

Unknown:

because

Unknown:

it is wrong to think that we can all do it by ourselves, we need

Unknown:

that one person that knows us that asked the right questions.

Unknown:

And that reminds of us of who we are. Because sometimes we are so

Unknown:

lost in our mind, in our self doubts and our confusion in our

Unknown:

uncertainty, that we forget who we are. And you have that one

Unknown:

person who is always cheering for you, and they might not be,

Unknown:

you know, their day in day out, or maybe on a weekly basis, they

Unknown:

might be very far. Yet when you decide to meet up with them,

Unknown:

then, you know, they're going to remind you of who you are. And

Unknown:

that's the utmost important thing to never forget. Because

Unknown:

who you are is going to make you see what you're made of, and

Unknown:

will make you see what your purpose is. And then you will

Unknown:

listen to your thoughts and to your mind when it comes up with

Unknown:

overly protective systems. And you will be just able to turn

Unknown:

the volume down. And to put that little beast into a corner and

Unknown:

to tell it, hey, I got everything under control. You

Unknown:

are part of me. But I'm not going to let you steer the

Unknown:

wheel. I can feel in my heart that I'm on the right path. And

Unknown:

I'm approaching this project, the stream the school, whatever

Unknown:

it is, with a new fresh attitude, and approach. And yes,

Unknown:

it is scary. But I want to try it out this way. And everything

Unknown:

is going to be okay. I will be okay. So yeah, you can even name

Unknown:

let that little monkey mind of yours, and know that it is going

Unknown:

to come up. And sometimes you will think that it is the people

Unknown:

around you who make you feel insecure and amplify a self

Unknown:

doubt. But they can only have a say in your life, if you believe

Unknown:

what you're saying. Right? If they were gonna say something

Unknown:

that is totally ridiculous, and that you don't believe, then you

Unknown:

don't feel affected by it. But as soon as we have a part in

Unknown:

ourselves that believe what the other person is saying to us.

Unknown:

Mess is hard. If you say that in English, so you got to learn to

Unknown:

distinguish between your core soul calling, and between your

Unknown:

monkey mind that is trying to keep you safe and make us play

Unknown:

small and be jealous and competitive and insecure and

Unknown:

look right and left at all times. Because who knows where

Unknown:

the next dramas gonna come from. You can put that little devil

Unknown:

into a corner. And know that you can reconnect to your soul to

Unknown:

your core values to who you truly are, whenever you allow

Unknown:

peace and silence. And we're all capable of doing that. Even

Unknown:

though we live in a crazy busy world today. And again, a coach

Unknown:

or a friend, a family member who truly knows you who knows how to

Unknown:

speak to you is incredibly valuable on this path of growth

Unknown:

and healing. All right. I think that was my message of the day

Unknown:

and I wish you a good rest of your day or good evening or good

Unknown:

morning wherever you're at right now. Thank you so much for being

Unknown:

here. Thank you so much for subscribing to my podcast. And

Unknown:

soon I'll be launching my website where you can read about

Unknown:

the offers I'm making to the world and you can learn a bit

Unknown:

more about myself too and my background and how I approach

Unknown:

coaching and yeah, I'm just very excited to engage on that path.

Unknown:
