How to keep an open mind and have a deeper understanding of your environment 

Why is having an open mind more important than ever ?

What has travelling to do with it ?

How come we take things for granted in our daily life? 

What I have learnt along my journey is that when I travel and leave my daily life behind for a little while I can look at my whole life with fresh eyes. This way I can find out what I dearly miss and want to hold onto or I will find out what I need to let go off of. 

What are some things that you will hold on to and what are these other things that really need to go but you can’t quite put a finger on it ?

Let’s explore together

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:00:10

experience. I'm your host Aurora, life coach and companion

Unknown: 00:00:14

on this beautiful journey called life. I'm so happy to be

Unknown: 00:00:19

spending some time with you today, it's a very hot day out

Unknown: 00:00:24

there had shows 40 degrees Celsius. And I'm in my very cool

Unknown: 00:00:33

little forest house. And it's just so nice to be able to hide

Unknown: 00:00:40

away from this heat, I hope you're doing well, I hope you

Unknown: 00:00:43

are in a good place. I hope you feel loved and understood and

Unknown: 00:00:50

free. Freedom is such a big thing nowadays, right we, we all

Unknown: 00:00:55

felt stuck and caught and crammed. During those COVID

Unknown: 00:01:04

years, and now we want to feel free we want to explore we want

Unknown: 00:01:08

to feel as if what we do matters, we want to feel a sense

Unknown: 00:01:16

of purpose. So I really hope that you have found that chances

Unknown: 00:01:22

are if you are listening to my podcast, you might be still in a

Unknown: 00:01:26

place of uncertainty and maybe feeling a little bit stuck. And

Unknown: 00:01:31

if that's the case, I hope I can provide a space for you where

Unknown: 00:01:35

you can feel yourself, rest and recharge your batteries. And

Unknown: 00:01:44

make some time to reflect and to grow. Or go deeper or understand

Unknown: 00:01:55

yourself and others on a deeper level.

Unknown: 00:02:00

Today I want to talk about the importance of traveling.

Unknown: 00:02:07

Traveling, you don't have to be a travel bag. You don't have to

Unknown: 00:02:14

be that kind of person, you know who discovers a new country each

Unknown: 00:02:18

month of the year.

Unknown: 00:02:21

You can be a person who's actually very content with where

Unknown: 00:02:25

they live. But I what I invite you to do is to be open to

Unknown: 00:02:34

perceive an old place a place that you feel, you know, very

Unknown: 00:02:41

comfortable and with new fresh eyes and perspective. And that

Unknown: 00:02:47

if you travel and go drive, walk to a new place that you look at

Unknown: 00:02:59

the new place through the eyes of a child very curious. Very,

Unknown: 00:03:06

very inquisitive. very open minded. I've learned that in

Unknown: 00:03:14

recent years. I'm I'm not an extreme travel bug, but I

Unknown: 00:03:23

traveled a lot and the benefits of traveling, have having an

Unknown: 00:03:30

open mind. Meeting new people seeing new places is wonderful.

Unknown: 00:03:38

It's just so great. And all of a sudden, all those little

Unknown: 00:03:43

problems that you had in your daily life, vanish, or even get

Unknown: 00:03:49

resolved.

Unknown: 00:03:51

If we go into birds perspective, like I say all too often, or if

Unknown: 00:03:58

we have a little bit of you know distance from our current life

Unknown: 00:04:05

from our daily life. It's sometimes it's easier to see

Unknown: 00:04:12

what is not going well for us. And we can also start missing.

Unknown: 00:04:18

What is going very well for us right you can miss your

Unknown: 00:04:22

children, your partner, your hobbies, your house, your

Unknown: 00:04:27

apartment, your pets, whatever it is that you leave behind for

Unknown: 00:04:35

a little while. You will start missing if you truly love it and

Unknown: 00:04:42

enjoy it in your life and when we come back home, then, most of

Unknown: 00:04:48

the time we have this feeling of a full heart, a grateful heart

Unknown: 00:04:57

and we promise ourselves someday I was even that we want to be

Unknown: 00:05:01

more grateful for what we have, because we missed it so much now

Unknown: 00:05:06

that we didn't have the people in our life or the things or the

Unknown: 00:05:09

hobbies. And now, we promised ourselves that when we engaged

Unknown: 00:05:14

again, then we want to be more mindful. And it's really

Unknown: 00:05:20

important to remind ourselves of that, and to not forget to be

Unknown: 00:05:26

grateful for what we have. And that yeah, we will be coming

Unknown: 00:05:30

back to our daily daily life, but maybe we can look at it with

Unknown: 00:05:34

fresh eyes. And maybe if you travel to a new place, you can

Unknown: 00:05:41

be curious about everything that's going on, sometimes we

Unknown: 00:05:47

traveled to a new place, and we want to make sure that our

Unknown: 00:05:52

comfort zone is being preserved read, we want the same coffee,

Unknown: 00:05:57

we want the same breakfast, we want the same way of living in a

Unknown: 00:06:05

new country. And that's sometimes very hard to find. So

Unknown: 00:06:10

if we start to be more open and more relaxed, and know that we

Unknown: 00:06:16

have everything that we need to feel comfortable, we don't need,

Unknown: 00:06:20

what we have at home, but we can learn new things that make us

Unknown: 00:06:25

feel comfortable and good and safe. To have that open

Unknown: 00:06:30

mindedness is such a gift, it opens extremely valuable

Unknown: 00:06:38

precious doors to your life. I traveled to a nearby city two

Unknown: 00:06:49

weekends ago, and we went to a Japanese garden. And we entered

Unknown: 00:06:56

this garden. And he just thought and felt all of a sudden as if

Unknown: 00:07:01

you were in a new world. And I started moving differently and

Unknown: 00:07:09

thinking differently, and seeing details that I wouldn't see if

Unknown: 00:07:15

it wasn't in a sacred space like that Japanese garden Enos. And

Unknown: 00:07:24

it really initiated a shift inside of myself. And that is

Unknown: 00:07:31

what inspired my episode today is that you don't have to travel

Unknown: 00:07:35

far. You don't have to pay expensive. How do you say that?

Unknown: 00:07:41

You don't have to pay for expensive flight tickets. But

Unknown: 00:07:45

you can travel to a close by place and go to a new cafe, go

Unknown: 00:07:53

to an art gallery, do something that you would usually never do.

Unknown: 00:07:58

And by physically engaging in something that we never do, of

Unknown: 00:08:03

course, it's it's a safe activity, it's an activity that

Unknown: 00:08:07

makes you good, feel good. It's nothing dangerous. It's nothing,

Unknown: 00:08:13

you know, too, out there and too challenging. As soon as we put

Unknown: 00:08:19

ourselves in a new environment, our mind opens again, and our

Unknown: 00:08:25

heart will do the same.

Unknown: 00:08:29

And that is what I'm inviting people to do. Most of the time

Unknown: 00:08:34

in my workshop that I hosted here in over the last couple of

Unknown: 00:08:39

months. I invite people to listen with their heart, put

Unknown: 00:08:43

your pen away, put your mind away for a second, turn the

Unknown: 00:08:47

volume down and simply listen with your heart and see how

Unknown: 00:08:52

differently it hits you how it stimulates your nervous system

Unknown: 00:08:57

and a different way. I feel all too often we approach situations

Unknown: 00:09:05

difficult people, our work our life, our love life from a very

Unknown: 00:09:13

heavy space. And then we get upset that we don't get the

Unknown: 00:09:17

results that we want. And I don't have the solution to that

Unknown: 00:09:22

I'm not, you know, hovering above you. I'm right next to you

Unknown: 00:09:26

in this mess. But what I've noticed this, once I turned the

Unknown: 00:09:31

volume down of my mind, I can switch my heart on and I'm

Unknown: 00:09:36

curious and hoping and in a place of you know wanting to

Unknown: 00:09:41

learn new things. needing to understand my environment.

Unknown: 00:09:46

Instead of having opinions making assumptions, or having

Unknown: 00:09:53

harsh judgments. I feel much better with myself. I sleep much

Unknown: 00:09:57

better. I feel much better. In my skin. So make the time to go

Unknown: 00:10:08

visit new places, say yes to an invitation, of course, only if

Unknown: 00:10:13

it's safe, that you usually would decline, you know, there's

Unknown: 00:10:19

little community fests festivals, or there is, like I

Unknown: 00:10:25

said earlier art galleries, that host events, there is theatres,

Unknown: 00:10:33

movies, live music, cooking classes, you can learn a musical

Unknown: 00:10:42

instrument, learn to stimulate your brain in a way that you

Unknown: 00:10:48

haven't stimulated in a long time, and then change it up. You

Unknown: 00:10:56

don't have to go too deep, you can just try it out once. And if

Unknown: 00:10:59

you like it, you try it out twice. But the physical location

Unknown: 00:11:06

can usually help us to be that open minded again. We forget

Unknown: 00:11:13

about it. And we need to get reminded that this world is so

Unknown: 00:11:21

big. And we're just so small. And to have that humble feeling

Unknown: 00:11:32

in your chest, that you're just a little creature trying to do

Unknown: 00:11:39

her or his way. Not by diminishing yourself and looking

Unknown: 00:11:44

down on yourself. And, you know, thinking thoughts like, Oh, my

Unknown: 00:11:49

God, I'm just so unimportant. And I'm just this little wheel,

Unknown: 00:11:53

and I will never make a difference in other people's

Unknown: 00:11:55

lives. No, that's not what I mean. But to see how different

Unknown: 00:12:02

people approach situations in a different way, can be so mind

Unknown: 00:12:07

blowing at times. It's so fascinating how a different

Unknown: 00:12:14

culture would approach a specific topic like, you know,

Unknown: 00:12:22

anger management, or love dilemmas, or eating disorders,

Unknown: 00:12:29

with such a different mindset. And we can learn so much. If we

Unknown: 00:12:35

have an open mind. And then you come home, get back into your

Unknown: 00:12:42

daily life. And we'll be more grateful for what you have, or

Unknown: 00:12:45

will introduce into your life new practices. And when you meet

Unknown: 00:12:51

people, and it doesn't matter if you're single or in a

Unknown: 00:12:54

relationship, you will also look at them in a different way, you

Unknown: 00:12:59

will maybe listen to them more closely. You will see that,

Unknown: 00:13:03

yeah, you know that person for several years now. But they

Unknown: 00:13:08

still have secrets, they still have ways of thinking that you

Unknown: 00:13:13

could never imagine they would have. And to be curious to be

Unknown: 00:13:19

open minded will help you deepen your relationships

Unknown: 00:13:24

enormously to a point that you can really press a reset button

Unknown: 00:13:33

in a relationship, just by being curious. You don't need to get

Unknown: 00:13:39

fancy, you can just ask questions. I feel we we don't

Unknown: 00:13:46

wander enough anymore. Right? Because everything is at the tip

Unknown: 00:13:51

of our fingers. We can Google CellTech right away. But you can

Unknown: 00:13:57

google your partner, you can google your children. You have

Unknown: 00:14:02

to ask questions, be inquisitive and observe them with the

Unknown: 00:14:08

kindest, most loving eyes and learn to understand them. And by

Unknown: 00:14:14

traveling by leaving your comfort zone. You will feel that

Unknown: 00:14:21

deep appreciation for sure for what you have, and for what you

Unknown: 00:14:26

want and desire in your life for what you want to change in your

Unknown: 00:14:30

life for what doesn't fit anymore, and really has to go

Unknown: 00:14:35

now. So, my dear friend, my dear listener, I'm going to leave you

Unknown: 00:14:42

with this. I'm sending my love out to you. As always, if you

Unknown: 00:14:47

want to request an episode Don't hold back. I'm also available

Unknown: 00:14:51

for one on one coaching or if you're a group of people, and

Unknown: 00:14:56

you want me to hold workshops So be it in your friends circle or

Unknown: 00:15:03

at work with your co workers, or you want to pass on my details

Unknown: 00:15:08

to your boss and invite them to host workshops with me together.

Unknown: 00:15:15

Then I'm open and available for this as well. All right, thank

Unknown: 00:15:21

you so much for being here. I hope I was able to bring you

Unknown: 00:15:24

lots of value and peace and hope and self reflection to take good

Unknown: 00:15:32
