Shownotes

What is the story you tell yourself about yourself?

Is it still true today?

Are you the same person today that you were yesterday?

Can you let go of the tight box you created for yourself ?

It is a very scary step to take. To question the believes you have about yourself because the unknown is more uncomfortable at first. But it is so so worth it to do this work.

Have a listen and maybe see the box you are sitting in and then create a new frame for your life.

You can be a new and better person every day. don't let your story define who you are 

So much more I could share and say here but for now…

Enjoy

With love

Transcripts

your host Aurora. And if you're longing for a place where you

Unknown:

day, reflect about yourself and your life. And this is the place

Unknown:

Unknown:

Unknown:

And, of course, thank you, to my followers in the US and Canada,

Unknown:

you guys have been amazing. Thank you for your encouraging

Unknown:

feedback. And I'm very grateful that I get to serve you and make

Unknown:

your life a little better. And yeah, my name is Aurora Eggert

Unknown:

Unknown:

Facebook group the Borealis experience, and request

Unknown:

meditations from me and tell me about your day about your life

Unknown:

and what you need. And I will post meditations for you then

Unknown:

that are perfect to unwind from a busy day, or to start a day or

Unknown:

if you're struggling with

Unknown:

relationship stuff, then I can help you too.

Unknown:

So that being said, I want to dive in. In today's episode

Unknown:

about the story, you tell yourself, we all have a story.

Unknown:

Chances are you are in your 20s 30s 40s, maybe 50s If you

Unknown:

listen to my podcast, and we all went through some stuff, some

Unknown:

really good stuff and some really nasty stuff. And I want

Unknown:

to talk about the more nasty stuff today without going into

Unknown:

details. But the story we tell ourselves about our history, and

Unknown:

about who we are today is gonna frame like give you a frame and

Unknown:

to or push you into a frame

Unknown:

of person that you are in society. I hope my English was

Unknown:

good enough to express myself here, forgive, I'm not native

Unknown:

English. And sometimes I struggle with my words, the

Unknown:

story you tell about yourself is going to define how you show up

Unknown:

in this world. So let's say you are a heavyset person, and

Unknown:

you're very unhappy with your

Unknown:

physical appearance.

Unknown:

But years back now, you decided that this is who you are, this

Unknown:

is where you're going to be for the rest of your life. How then,

Unknown:

can you imagine losing weight if let's say you join Weight

Unknown:

Watchers or decide to start a diet, because from the outside,

Unknown:

you got to do the right thing. But your internal compass is

Unknown:

still gonna guide you to what you believe you are. And weight

Unknown:

loss is just one little part of the story. Let's take a guy who

Unknown:

wants to gain weight. And he's constantly struggling with food

Unknown:

and weightlifting.

Unknown:

But compares himself to the big guys in the gym, or outside in

Unknown:

the world and still sees him as the smallest guy in the group

Unknown:

wherever he goes. While this guy is also not gonna gain weight,

Unknown:

because on a mental level, emotional level even he is

Unknown:

keeping himself small.

Unknown:

Then we have other stories. Let's take myself

Unknown:

I went through a fair share of abuse in my 20s

Unknown:

emotional and physical and there was a point where there was a

Unknown:

friend or an acquaintance who asked me like, are you going to

Unknown:

live your life now?

Unknown:

Oh, being a victim after this happened to you. And she was not

Unknown:

even meaning it in a mean way. Like she was not looking down on

Unknown:

me, I think at least didn't come across, as if. But it really

Unknown:

made me think. And I really thought, yeah, like, every time

Unknown:

I introduce myself and a group or to a new person,

Unknown:

I tell that little bit of a story about my immigration and

Unknown:

who I was blah, blah, blah. And then you get to know that person

Unknown:

better. And they ask deeper questions. And then you notice

Unknown:

that you always repeat that same story. And you live by that

Unknown:

story, too. And it is not a bad thing to share your story.

Unknown:

That's not what I mean by that. Share your story, deal with it,

Unknown:

but then also get over it and emotionally.

Unknown:

I wanted to say detach, but detach. It's not what I want to

Unknown:

say here. But give yourself the freedom to become a new person

Unknown:

every day.

Unknown:

I know when you look into the mirror, you probably see the

Unknown:

same person every day. But if you start the work from inside,

Unknown:

if you start to see yourself from the inside with different

Unknown:

eyes, then you can also have different experiences in the

Unknown:

outside world.

Unknown:

A lot of times we go out there into the dating world with

Unknown:

pre written script on how the person has to be that is suiting

Unknown:

us. But let me tell you something the day I dropped that

Unknown:

sheet that I had written down on how my partner has to look like

Unknown:

it opened my mind to a beautiful new world.

Unknown:

Maybe you are not into smoking. Yeah, maybe maybe you reject

Unknown:

people who smoke. But maybe that person is only smoking now and

Unknown:

will change in the future. I know there's people out there

Unknown:

now smiling at me hahaha always women thinking they can change

Unknown:

men

Unknown:

are the say is that little habit that annoys you so much? Is it

Unknown:

really dictating? And like, allowing you to not get to know

Unknown:

that personnel? That one little thing?

Unknown:

And that person who smokes, does that person has to say

Unknown:

I'm a smoker, and this is who I am. And I'm always going to

Unknown:

stick to that no matter what.

Unknown:

No, that person can also question his or her behavior.

Unknown:

When it comes to more traumatic stories, when it comes to abuse,

Unknown:

neglect, when it comes to

Unknown:

people really harming you in the past, then you need to dig that

Unknown:

shit up. Oh, now I was saying a bad word. I'm learning to be

Unknown:

more clean with my language because I got restricted here.

Unknown:

You need to deal with that stuff that was really harmful to you.

Unknown:

But you also have to learn how to see yourself as a new person.

Unknown:

Without that scar,

Unknown:

you have that scar, but that scar

Unknown:

is not going to define who you are today. Because that's when

Unknown:

you put yourself into a little box. And everything that happens

Unknown:

outside of a box you will either not see or live in denial with

Unknown:

and it prevents you to live a beautiful juicy life.

Unknown:

Today I was asked on how meditation can help you when you

Unknown:

suffer from anxiety and

Unknown:

in group settings, you get nervous and and stuff like that.

Unknown:

And I answered when you start meditating when you start

Unknown:

observing your thoughts, then you will quickly see where you

Unknown:

have resistance where you have adversity where your monkey

Unknown:

brain is going nuts and trying to hold you back from going into

Unknown:

that direction. And I said this is where you have to go deeper.

Unknown:

Because what we resist most of the time is that the thing that

Unknown:

we should actually work through what we are scared of most

Unknown:

As rejection and shame, and being excluded from a group of

Unknown:

people or society, and sometimes our fear of rejection, took over

Unknown:

our life and really prevents us from being naturally out there

Unknown:

and curious and open.

Unknown:

It is really critical, again, to go see a professional, if you

Unknown:

went to a fair share of trauma and still haven't processed it,

Unknown:

what I mean is, what happens after, how can you free yourself

Unknown:

from that stuff again, and it is in facing it, and sitting with

Unknown:

it in meditation, or talking to a close friend. And then letting

Unknown:

it go.

Unknown:

Family is also a very good place to look at and to observe.

Unknown:

There's a couple of people out there,

Unknown:

me included who have been born into a family that not

Unknown:

necessarily understands you, or shares, same values as as you.

Unknown:

And that's not a bad thing, because it forces you to grow up

Unknown:

with an open mind.

Unknown:

At the same time, it makes you feel very insecure about who you

Unknown:

are and what you have to give to this world. So again, there, if

Unknown:

you look at your family structure, look at people who

Unknown:

are born creatives, and are born into a family of intellectuals,

Unknown:

and they make him feel bad now because he is not interested in

Unknown:

what they are interested he wants to pursue his passion. Of

Unknown:

course, if he doesn't have a rock solid confidence

Unknown:

boost behind him, he's not going to be secure about his decision

Unknown:

making about being a creative artist. But he has to go out

Unknown:

there and

Unknown:

find people that are like minded and find people that will

Unknown:

encourage his passion. Because this is the only way evolution

Unknown:

can happen. If we all stay in our families and do what our

Unknown:

families have done before us. That's beautiful too. And I

Unknown:

don't blame or shame anyone who decides to do that. I'm talking

Unknown:

to the people who still haven't come out yet who are still

Unknown:

struggling to show who they truly are. And it is these

Unknown:

people that we need out there because there's too many people

Unknown:

hiding right now in that closet and not wanting to come out and

Unknown:

share their beauty and share what they can bring to this

Unknown:

world because they keep themselves small. And that is

Unknown:

not that you should blame your family. They do their best they

Unknown:

have their beliefs and perception. It is your duty. It

Unknown:

is your

Unknown:

heart you say you have the power to go out there and find people

Unknown:

and pursue your passion. Get out of your box. Be open minded, be

Unknown:

open hearted and don't believe those negatives believe negative

Unknown:

beliefs about yourself

Unknown:

when it comes to weight loss, weight gain, self esteem, and

Unknown:

especially your purpose in life.

Unknown:

I hope you enjoyed my episode today. I hope it was not too

Unknown:
