Some people on this planet reach 89 and are still full of life and energy

What are these people doing differently than others.

Why are some people so resilient and not others

I feel It all starts in the mind

If you have a healthy mind you will make decisions that support you and your health but also others around you 

If you know you body you will be able to give it what it needs and it will reward you with health and resilience

If you have a mission you will never feel bored and lonely

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

Unknown: 00:00:08

your host Aurora, and I'm very happy to be spending some time

Unknown: 00:00:12

with you today. I hope you're doing well. I hope Life is good,

Unknown: 00:00:19

and if its a little rough. Rig t now. I hope I can give you ho

Unknown: 00:00:25

e and peace and help you o reconnect to yourself. Today

Unknown: 00:00:33

I want to talk about life lesso s that I've learned from an

Unknown: 00:00:41

9 year old. Some of you know th t I live in Canada, on a litt

Unknown: 00:00:49

e cottage in the Rocky Mountai s with my grandma. My mom is he

Unknown: 00:00:56

e as well. But today I want o talk about the life lessons

Unknown: 00:01:01

I learned from my 89 year o d French grandma. She doesn

Unknown: 00:01:09

t speak English. And over 20 yea s ago, they decided to move to t

Unknown: 00:01:17

e English part of Canada. So y u can imagine that it was pret

Unknown: 00:01:26

y difficult at times for them. B t they made it friends. They, as

Unknown: 00:01:33

I said, have this beautiful litt e cottage out here. And yeah, h

Unknown: 00:01:40

d a really, really good li e together. My grandpa passed

Unknown: 00:01:45

n 2016. And ever since my grand a is very busy in the gardens, s

Unknown: 00:01:53

e plays the piano. She eats wel . She keeps herself busy eve

Unknown: 00:01:59

y day. So the first lesson I' e learned is that if you have

Unknown: 00:02:07

a dream, there is no obstacle . There is times where you wi

Unknown: 00:02:16

l feel you're going through. Yea , uncertainty, there's times th

Unknown: 00:02:27

t you will feel you a e encountering obstacles when y

Unknown: 00:02:31

u pursuing your dreams. But if y u really want something so badl

Unknown: 00:02:37

, nothing can really hold y u back. So self doubt and doubti

Unknown: 00:02:44

g their dreams was never a part f my grandparents life. The seco

Unknown: 00:02:54

d thing I've learned from her s that you have to live

Unknown: 00:03:00

n moderation and de p appreciation. She is from Fran

Unknown: 00:03:07

e and French people apprecia e good wine, and very good foo

Unknown: 00:03:16

. But you have to enjoy the e things in moderation. You can

Unknown: 00:03:23

t indulge. You can't let yourse f go. You have to enjoy your foo

Unknown: 00:03:31

, appreciate your food and n t exaggerate of the good thing

Unknown: 00:03:39

. The third thing she taught me s that you have to learn a litt

Unknown: 00:03:45

e bit about everythin

Unknown: 00:03:49

She has no day where she is depressed or bored or doesn't

Unknown: 00:03:55

know what to do with herself. When she has nothing to do

Unknown: 00:04:00

around the gardens, nothing to cook or bake as she loves to do.

Unknown: 00:04:06

She learned something new. Funny thing is that she never really

Unknown: 00:04:10

learned to speak English because that would have helped her

Unknown: 00:04:13

enormously. I don't know if it is the French pride or whatever

Unknown: 00:04:19

it is if she believes that she can learn English or that she

Unknown: 00:04:23

sounds funny. But she knows how to sew. She knows how to knit.

Unknown: 00:04:30

She knows how to cook and bake all different kinds of meals and

Unknown: 00:04:36

pastries. She plays the piano and learns new songs on a weekly

Unknown: 00:04:46

I would say and many more things when it comes to the garden. She

Unknown: 00:04:56

never gets tired of learning new things and failing at the

Unknown: 00:05:02

beginning, but then succeeding. Because the more you do a new

Unknown: 00:05:08

task, the better you get, there is no way around when you put

Unknown: 00:05:13

your focus in. When you have good intentions. When you're

Unknown: 00:05:20

consistent, then you will get better and something new. So

Unknown: 00:05:28

also when it comes to repairing things, like doing an oil change

Unknown: 00:05:36

on a truck on a car, she's curious about how it works. I

Unknown: 00:05:42

feel a lot of times we have resistance to learning things

Unknown: 00:05:48

that we think was too dumb or is other people can do it. So the

Unknown: 00:05:57

third thing would be curiosity. Be curious and excited to learn

Unknown: 00:06:03

new things. Another thing that I've learned is keep in touch

Unknown: 00:06:11

with your close friends, and the people you love in your life,

Unknown: 00:06:17

never wonder if the other person is doing enough, investing

Unknown: 00:06:24

enough. Always make sure that you are giving your all in your

Unknown: 00:06:33

relationships. Don't forget your friends birthdays. Just message

Unknown: 00:06:40

them randomly and ask them how they're doing, how they're

Unknown: 00:06:44

feeling. What their mind is busy with. Be curious about your

Unknown: 00:06:51

friends lives and how they handle situations. My grandma

Unknown: 00:06:59

and grandpa's sailed around the world before they settled in

Unknown: 00:07:03

Canada.

Unknown: 00:07:05

And

Unknown: 00:07:08

throughout the years, they always kept in touch with their

Unknown: 00:07:14

friends. And back then you have to imagine there was no

Unknown: 00:07:17

WhatsApp. There was no Facebook, of course, no emails, she had to

Unknown: 00:07:28

send and written letters. And then go to the post office, pay

Unknown: 00:07:35

a lot of money. And then send a letter that would take 10 days

Unknown: 00:07:41

at times to reach their friends. But you would always make sure

Unknown: 00:07:48

that they know what they are doing right now and share their

Unknown: 00:07:52

adventures. and wonder how her friends back home are doing. And

Unknown: 00:08:03

it's very important for your heart for your soul to keep in

Unknown: 00:08:08

touch with at least one person. Next thing that I've learned

Unknown: 00:08:16

from her as travel, travel as much as you can, with at least

Unknown: 00:08:24

amount of baggage as you can really learn to be a minimalist.

Unknown: 00:08:32

Learn from other cultures learn to see that we all want the

Unknown: 00:08:40

same. We all need the same on this planet. Yet, we might use a

Unknown: 00:08:45

different language, different body language, different tools

Unknown: 00:08:53

to satisfy our needs to go about our days. She saw to poverty

Unknown: 00:09:04

back in Bolivia. And it really touched her so deeply. And when

Unknown: 00:09:11

she came back home and really changed the way she cooked and

Unknown: 00:09:19

used water and appreciated what she had. The other day I've

Unknown: 00:09:25

learned that traveling is not only good for the mind and

Unknown: 00:09:29

opening your heart, but on a biological level. On a gut

Unknown: 00:09:35

level. It is so important to strengthen your immune system

Unknown: 00:09:40

because he can maybe imagine that if you've traveled to

Unknown: 00:09:44

Africa or Australia or South America. You take in way

Unknown: 00:09:51

different bacteria and ingest them and it's exciting for your

Unknown: 00:09:59

immune system. To sometimes fight them off, but sometimes to

Unknown: 00:10:04

integrate them and make your gut more biodiverse. So, traveling,

Unknown: 00:10:13

being open to learn from new cultures, and especially to

Unknown: 00:10:18

learn to live with very, very minimal resources is a very

Unknown: 00:10:28

important lesson you can learn in life. And there's really

Unknown: 00:10:34

never an excuse not to travel, you can

Unknown: 00:10:39

go and travel in a camper van, you can go and work your little

Unknown: 00:10:47

ass off and put money aside so that you can travel

Unknown: 00:10:53

is really important to open up your mind to, to feel and see

Unknown: 00:10:59

new cultures in order to learn, but in also, order to appreciate

Unknown: 00:11:07

what you have at home. The last lesson that I've learned from my

Unknown: 00:11:14

grandma is to be disciplined to wake up every morning at the

Unknown: 00:11:22

same time, even though you don't have a job to go to. You make

Unknown: 00:11:28

yourself busy. I know that every night she goes to bed, she knows

Unknown: 00:11:34

exactly what she's gonna do the next day. And she really takes

Unknown: 00:11:41

it serious, and does it with full attention

Unknown: 00:11:48

and focus and love. And it really does matter what it is.

Unknown: 00:11:55

But most of the time it is to serve others.

Unknown: 00:12:01

And I feel that's a very, very important lesson to learn.

Unknown: 00:12:06

Because sometimes we feel depressed, we feel lonely. And

Unknown: 00:12:10

all it is is that we are too focused on ourselves and not

Unknown: 00:12:16

enough on other people around us. And we are herd animals by

Unknown: 00:12:23

nature. So if we start being there for others, serving

Unknown: 00:12:28

others, we will be connected again to community and feel less

Unknown: 00:12:33

lonely and feel as if we have a purpose. And this is so

Unknown: 00:12:39

incredibly important. I hope these little lessons here helped

Unknown: 00:12:49

you. And I know they will certainly help you on a dark day

Unknown: 00:12:56

that you can go back and listen to this and know that Yeah,

Unknown: 00:13:02

there's a couple of very specific things that you can do

Unknown: 00:13:05

in order to feel better right away. I'm sure there's many more

Unknown: 00:13:09

lessons that I forgot here now today, but those were the core

Unknown: 00:13:13

lessons said, I've learned from my grandma so far living with

Unknown: 00:13:17

her

Unknown: 00:13:19

first seven years, I think so yeah, I speak French with her

Unknown: 00:13:25

every day. I speak English with you guys. And with my friends

Unknown: 00:13:30

back home and with my mom here I speak German.

Unknown: 00:13:34

And my brain loves it. Tried to learn a little bit about

Unknown: 00:13:43

everything. And you will feel rich, and you will feel you can

Unknown: 00:13:50

connect with more people. Thank you so much for listening to the
