Hello there,

Today Aurora will share with you a couple tools on how to get a grip on anxious and negative thoughts.

1. Question Assumptions: Challenge your own assumptions and beliefs regularly. Be open to the possibility that you might be wrong or that there might be alternative viewpoints worth considering.
2. Mindfulness: become immersed in the life around you. Stay connected, curious and engaged with the people around you.
3. Take Breaks and Practice Self-Care: Give your mind time to rest and recharge. Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. A well-rested mind is more open and receptive to new ideas.

Remember that managing negative and anxious thoughts is an ongoing process, and it's okay to seek help when needed. If your negative thoughts persist and significantly impact your daily life, consider reaching out to a mental health professional for additional support and guidance.

With much love

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:00:07

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

Unknown: 00:00:12

on this beautiful journey called life. I hope you're doing well.

Unknown: 00:00:17

I hope you feel good, I hope you feel loved and understood,

Unknown: 00:00:21

inspired and expansive. And if that's not the case, if you're

Unknown: 00:00:27

walking through a dark phase in your life, or if you're having

Unknown: 00:00:32

a, an off day, I hope I can bring you some value, I hope I

Unknown: 00:00:38

can make you feel less alone and support it. If ever you want to

Unknown: 00:00:45

meet in person and engage in a coaching journey, I have a

Unknown: 00:00:49

physical location now where we can meet in a yard and a forest,

Unknown: 00:00:54

where I'd love to learn more about your history, your story,

Unknown: 00:01:00

and then help you out with all the tools I have for you to live

Unknown: 00:01:05

the most juiciest, courageous, expansive life that you would

Unknown: 00:01:11

want to imagine for yourself. I'm also happy to connect over

Unknown: 00:01:16

zoom, if you cannot make it out to the year if you live a little

Unknown: 00:01:20

bit farther away or abroad. That's always a way to connect

Unknown: 00:01:27

as well. So and last episodes, I have talked about your mind and

Unknown: 00:01:35

its addiction to negative thinking anxious thinking

Unknown: 00:01:39

because it wants to protect you. I also provided a tool on how to

Unknown: 00:01:45

start out your journey when it comes to becoming a detective.

Unknown: 00:01:51

Have your thoughts where do they come from? What triggers your

Unknown: 00:01:56

mind? Or your ego? And how can you become more aware of what's

Unknown: 00:02:02

true and what is not. So I used words like never, and always

Unknown: 00:02:09

thoughts that are very radical and one sided. I usually coming

Unknown: 00:02:15

from a place of anxiety and wanting to protect, but they're

Unknown: 00:02:21

not always serving us. Yes, they can protect us from potential

Unknown: 00:02:25

pain, but they can also keep us locked in and small and make us

Unknown: 00:02:32

feel inadequate and not enough. Even more than we might be

Unknown: 00:02:38

feeling already. So today I want to keep on going when it comes

Unknown: 00:02:44

to the tools when it comes to stuff that you can do in order

Unknown: 00:02:48

to get behind the scenes of your anxious thoughts. And your

Unknown: 00:02:57

addiction to negative thoughts. So as I just mentioned, the

Unknown: 00:03:02

first thing is to dis tense yourself from your thoughts and

Unknown: 00:03:09

to see them as a separate entity. And to ask this entity,

Unknown: 00:03:17

right really imagining a person sitting on a chair in front of

Unknown: 00:03:21

you with these thoughts. Hey, where are these thoughts coming

Unknown: 00:03:24

from? What do you want me to be aware of? What do you want me to

Unknown: 00:03:28

feel protected? Of? What do you want to protect me? From what is

Unknown: 00:03:34

threatening? And where's this coming from this so go back to

Unknown: 00:03:38

your childhood to your teenage years, or maybe to your

Unknown: 00:03:43

kindergarten days. become curious about where your

Unknown: 00:03:48

thoughts have first evolved from it's usually an event that was

Unknown: 00:03:56

painful, disappointing, a wound that hasn't healed yet. And to

Unknown: 00:04:03

really ask it Hey, what do you want? And what is the opposite

Unknown: 00:04:07

true? What What if the opposite was true? And it's an

Unknown: 00:04:13

interesting journey to engage on like I'm I'm still going through

Unknown: 00:04:17

that right? I'm not fully healed and enlightened and far from

Unknown: 00:04:21

that. I get in behind my thoughts and my feelings and my

Unknown: 00:04:26

triggers. And I just wonder Hey, what is this? Did I not take

Unknown: 00:04:31

enough care of myself today? And I'm just anxious because I'm

Unknown: 00:04:35

actually thirsty and eager to move my body? Is there really a

Unknown: 00:04:41

problem and it needs solving? Or what if the opposite was true?

Unknown: 00:04:49

And to become more playful with this ride to you know we do that

Unknown: 00:04:54

and exercising? As a physiotherapist I trained

Unknown: 00:04:59

athlete eats. And you don't only exercise walking forwards and

Unknown: 00:05:05

sprinting, but also going backwards and crawling on the

Unknown: 00:05:08

floor. Because you want to keep as agile as possible. So it's

Unknown: 00:05:13

not only one side at that you train your mind and your body,

Unknown: 00:05:16

but from all angles from from very diverse places. And so to

Unknown: 00:05:22

allow your mind to be a little bit more open again, by asking

Unknown: 00:05:27

questions, is this true? What if the opposite was true? And

Unknown: 00:05:32

especially when it comes to people, and we have very, you

Unknown: 00:05:35

know, strong opinions about a certain person in our life that

Unknown: 00:05:39

is difficult to handle? To also they're like, question, really,

Unknown: 00:05:45

are they really that annoying? Are they really always this way,

Unknown: 00:05:50

never that way. That way, you can totally hear relationships

Unknown: 00:05:54

in your life as well in questioning your assumptions and

Unknown: 00:05:58

your conclusions that you make about certain people. And and

Unknown: 00:06:02

can open up conversations that can be very healing. And maybe

Unknown: 00:06:07

you want that person in your life, but maybe in a different

Unknown: 00:06:11

way than they used to be in your life. Another thing that you can

Unknown: 00:06:15

do in order to tackle your negative and anxious thoughts is

Unknown: 00:06:22

guided meditation, meditation, allowing silence, and being

Unknown: 00:06:30

mindful. And the first tool that I provided you here is the

Unknown: 00:06:36

reframing, looking at a situation or a person from a

Unknown: 00:06:40

different angle. And mindfulness is basically the umbrella of

Unknown: 00:06:47

reframing. So becoming mindful of your thoughts, becoming

Unknown: 00:06:52

mindful of your surroundings, really engaging with what is

Unknown: 00:06:56

going on, right around you. I'm never against cell phones on the

Unknown: 00:07:03

use of social media or anything. But we need a balance, we need

Unknown: 00:07:07

to sometimes take a break from our screen, and really deeply

Unknown: 00:07:13

engage with the environment right around us, be it the

Unknown: 00:07:17

people becoming more curious about the people around us,

Unknown: 00:07:21

again, the animals that we take care of, or the animals in our

Unknown: 00:07:26

environment, if you have plans to spend time with plants, and

Unknown: 00:07:32

I'm not going to get too esoteric here, but every living

Unknown: 00:07:36

being deserves your unconditional attention,

Unknown: 00:07:40

presence and love. And to really engage in that. And to become

Unknown: 00:07:45

curious about it. curious and open and approaching all living

Unknown: 00:07:53

beings with an open heart and wanting to know more wanting to

Unknown: 00:07:58

learn. So mindfulness is an extremely valuable tool on your

Unknown: 00:08:04

journey to understand your mind, understand your anxiety, or even

Unknown: 00:08:10

depression, if you struggle with that. And knowing where it's

Unknown: 00:08:15

coming from and finding out if you can heal that part inside of

Unknown: 00:08:18

yourself. And being mindful and how you interact with people,

Unknown: 00:08:24

and how you go about your little habits, how you get out of bed

Unknown: 00:08:29

in the morning, how you brush your teeth, how you eat, how you

Unknown: 00:08:33

drink, how you drive, how you speak, and just becoming an

Unknown: 00:08:39

observant without judgment, because that is you, you are the

Unknown: 00:08:46

entity that observes you are not your thoughts, you are not the

Unknown: 00:08:53

activities that you do and all the accomplishments that you you

Unknown: 00:08:58

know, engage in long form, goals you set yourself to, you are the

Unknown: 00:09:07

entity that observes all these thoughts, all these behaviors

Unknown: 00:09:13

are these relationships. And by discerning by going through the

Unknown: 00:09:21

mind clutter and and really becoming like a little bit more

Unknown: 00:09:27

radical, a little bit more clear about what you want to allow in

Unknown: 00:09:31

your mind and what not. And by becoming more aware of yourself

Unknown: 00:09:38

and your patterns without judgment without harsh judgment.

Unknown: 00:09:45

You can then change in a way that feels good for you and is

Unknown: 00:09:50

authentic, but the important thing is when you become more

Unknown: 00:09:54

and more self aware, to not judge yourself because what we

Unknown: 00:10:01

tend to do when we start observing ourselves and seeing

Unknown: 00:10:04

stuff that we don't really like, and we judge it as bad as, you

Unknown: 00:10:10

know, sociopath as stupid as totally behind times, and

Unknown: 00:10:19

backwards, I meant sorry. We beat ourselves up to a point

Unknown: 00:10:26

where we throw everything. We throw everything off the table

Unknown: 00:10:31

and then quit. This is by the way, what happens with awesome

Unknown: 00:10:36

new year's resolutions, we are so unrealistic. We are so

Unknown: 00:10:40

radical and harsh with our new year's resolutions that probably

Unknown: 00:10:44

by March or latest by now, people have totally given up

Unknown: 00:10:49

with their New Year's resolution, and maybe even

Unknown: 00:10:53

gotten worse when it comes to mental health, emotional agility

Unknown: 00:10:58

and intelligence and physical health. If your goals are too

Unknown: 00:11:03

unrealistic, or if they are realistic, but you cannot handle

Unknown: 00:11:08

setbacks and little failures along the way, you will be worse

Unknown: 00:11:13

off than if you never had new year's resolutions. And same

Unknown: 00:11:19

goes with you becoming more aware of your thoughts and your

Unknown: 00:11:22

anxiety and maybe your depression, to ask, Hey, what is

Unknown: 00:11:27

it that needs to be expressed and and shown to the world? What

Unknown: 00:11:31

needs to be put on the table? What needs to be said? What

Unknown: 00:11:36

needs to be experienced? What is it that makes me sad? What is it

Unknown: 00:11:42

that makes me feel unworthy, unseen and small? And what part

Unknown: 00:11:48

of my life? In what part of my life did that start? And how can

Unknown: 00:11:54

we heal this? So reframing questioning your thoughts,

Unknown: 00:12:00

especially the negative ones, especially the anxious ones and

Unknown: 00:12:05

detaching from them, knowing that you are not your thoughts,

Unknown: 00:12:10

your thoughts might be an old software that hasn't gotten

Unknown: 00:12:15

updated yet. And you're still dragging on and think that it is

Unknown: 00:12:20

you you identify with your thoughts. Try to observe your

Unknown: 00:12:24

thoughts without judgment and become more and more aware of

Unknown: 00:12:28

yourself. And mindfulness. become mindful with everything

Unknown: 00:12:34

you consume, be it mental content, or physical like food,

Unknown: 00:12:41

or activities you engage in and become very interested in

Unknown: 00:12:50

yourself. I was looking for the right word to word here. But

Unknown: 00:12:54

yeah, become curious and interested about yourself and

Unknown: 00:12:57

see how that changes your relationship to yourself. And

Unknown: 00:13:04

then a third thing I want to share with you is self care. The

Unknown: 00:13:08

better you take care of yourself. And we can start with

Unknown: 00:13:12

nutrition, adequate water and take vitamins, minerals, micro

Unknown: 00:13:17

new nutrients and go further into clothing. Are you wearing

Unknown: 00:13:25

clothing that makes you feel comfortable? Or are you wearing

Unknown: 00:13:28

clothing that just looks a certain way but actually doesn't

Unknown: 00:13:32

make you feel good? Your workplace? Is it a space that

Unknown: 00:13:38

makes you feel good, inspired and creative, expansive and

Unknown: 00:13:43

loved and appreciated? When it comes to your family or the

Unknown: 00:13:48

people that you spend time with? Are these people encouraging

Unknown: 00:13:54

loving, challenging you in the right areas of your life? How do

Unknown: 00:14:03

you feel overall and then learning to find out what self

Unknown: 00:14:10

care practices could benefit you? It can be journaling. It

Unknown: 00:14:14

can be guided meditation. It can be relaxation classes, it can be

Unknown: 00:14:20

walks in the forest, it can be reading a book, it can be you

Unknown: 00:14:26

know setting like dates in your calendar where you want to talk

Unknown: 00:14:33

to loved ones and connect with people around you that you love

Unknown: 00:14:36

and respect. There's all kinds of self care practices that you

Unknown: 00:14:40

can engage in. The better you take care of yourself. The more

Unknown: 00:14:45

positive and pleasant your thoughts and emotions will be

Unknown: 00:14:50

because overall you feel good and a person that feels good and

Unknown: 00:14:55

content and enough and seen and heard. Will less likely Do you

Unknown: 00:15:00

feel inadequate and not enough? And that in turn will positively

Unknown: 00:15:05

affect their mind and how they perceive the world. All right,

Unknown: 00:15:12

my dear friend, I think that was a lot for today. I'm going to

Unknown: 00:15:18

leave you with that. With so much love and always there for

Unknown: 00:15:22

you if you want to reach out and ask questions if you want to hop

Unknown: 00:15:25

on a on you know sync up call to see if we want to work together

Unknown: 00:15:31

Unknown: 00:15:36

Unknown: 00:15:39

Unknown: 00:15:45
