hello hello,

Is your mind tiring you out ?

do you have troubles sleeping at night because your mind keeps you awake and makes your body feel restless as well ?

here is some tricks I'm using to keep my busy mind in check

Also, 

I'm currently editing an interview for you. Sean and I will be talking about abuse in relationships. We both regret being abusive in the past and see a huge benefit in talking about this sensitive topic in public.

Shine light on a shadow and everything that needs to heal and be addressed will be.

Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, you beautiful people. This is the

Unknown:

Borealis experience. I'm your host Aurora. And I'm so happy to

Unknown:

be spending some time with you today. It's been a busy couple

Unknown:

of days. I had my first interview here yesterday with

Unknown:

Sean Dustin. His podcast is called nowhere to go but up now,

Unknown:

check him out. He's awesome. And we have had a lovely

Unknown:

conversation about Yeah, being abusive partners in our past,

Unknown:

not physically but mentally and emotionally, which doesn't make

Unknown:

it better. We're not proud of it. But we wanted to have that

Unknown:

conversation. And yeah, provide you with these episodes. And if

Unknown:

you feel inclined to come on to our show, then shoot us a

Unknown:

message. You can reach me Aurora Eggert on Facebook, I also have

Unknown:

a Facebook page called the Borealis experience. And you can

Unknown:

read Sean over nowhere to go but up now@gmail.com. Today's

Unknown:

episode is for you, if you are struggling with insomnia, or in

Unknown:

general, being too much in your mind and not enough in your

Unknown:

heart space. How do we notice when we are too much in our head

Unknown:

and not enough in our heart? Well, it's very easy. Every time

Unknown:

you're sitting still doing nothing. You either feel guilty,

Unknown:

or shame. Or you feel your mind racing, pushing you to

Unknown:

accomplish more to do lists. And yeah, judging you harshly,

Unknown:

having very harsh opinions about yourself of how you're supposed

Unknown:

to operate and function and be in society. And whenever you

Unknown:

feel like doing something else, it will come and creep up on you

Unknown:

and make you feel very shitty. So how do we deal with a mind

Unknown:

that is too active? One thing is going for walks in nature and

Unknown:

really being present with what is going on out there. Like at

Unknown:

the beginning, I felt very pathetic doing it. But fake it

Unknown:

until you make it. You look at the trees. You look at the

Unknown:

birds, you hear the birds, you hear the sound of the snow

Unknown:

underneath your boots, or the gravel underneath your shoes. So

Unknown:

being 100% present with what is around you is such an awesome

Unknown:

tool to get out of your mind into the present moment. And

Unknown:

then when you interact with people, presence is also key. So

Unknown:

actively listening, passively listening, and really like being

Unknown:

in tune with that person making eye contact and asking

Unknown:

questions. And doing nothing but enjoying being with that person.

Unknown:

Of course, you will pick someone that you like and not someone

Unknown:

you don't like. Needless to say, but yeah, being present, being

Unknown:

right there in the moment, is the best way to reconnect to

Unknown:

your heart and to enjoy life on a deeper level as well. So,

Unknown:

meditation, of course, is a very good point. This was very

Unknown:

annoying. I'm very sorry, I'm sitting outdoors today and

Unknown:

Bonnie is being very protective. So yeah, meditation is also a

Unknown:

wonderful tool because there you can guide your thoughts and come

Unknown:

out of To Do List problem solving mode into being

Unknown:

relaxing, enjoying yourself mode. So when you wake up at

Unknown:

night,

Unknown:

try to convince your mind that you need the rest that you don't

Unknown:

need to brainstorm right now. But only focus on resting and

Unknown:

relaxing. So whenever your mind We'll come up with all while

Unknown:

this is what I have to do tomorrow. And I have to

Unknown:

accomplish this and I have to problem solve this. Come back to

Unknown:

your breath. And know that it is not a waste of time, it is very

Unknown:

precious recharging of your batteries, because you don't

Unknown:

serve anybody and especially not yourself if you are a hard

Unknown:

working person, but you are running low on energy and being

Unknown:

more and more impatient or making more and more mistakes

Unknown:

because of not having enough sleep. Of course, if you are on

Unknown:

any kind of medication prescribed by your doctors don't

Unknown:

make any changes. Because I'm not a health professional. You

Unknown:

talk to your doctor first and then change. But you can apply

Unknown:

these little thought tools that I'm providing you here, already.

Unknown:

So you wake up at night and think about all the stuff that

Unknown:

you want to have to do the next day. Come back to your breath,

Unknown:

come back to I feel warm and save. My blanket is keeping me

Unknown:

safe. And I have a roof over my head. I'm so grateful that I

Unknown:

have food in my fridge and fresh water to drink. So maybe you

Unknown:

notice already what I'm doing here, you kind of tame that

Unknown:

monkey mind. You treat it like a misbehaved little child and

Unknown:

bring it to gratefulness and presence. And that way you can

Unknown:

very easily fall asleep again, it works awesome for me, like

Unknown:

when I think of the people that I miss, and I want to be close

Unknown:

to. I really imagine their faces, I imagine them hugging

Unknown:

me. I imagine talking to them that tone of their voice. And

Unknown:

really go as much into detail as you want. And you will see it

Unknown:

will let you fall asleep as soon as possible. Just go away from

Unknown:

trying to problem solve and trying to schedule and trying to

Unknown:

organize because this is what is gonna keep your mind active and

Unknown:

not going to let you sleep. Come back to what am i grateful for

Unknown:

precious connections that I have in my life and things that I

Unknown:

want to experience right now it is deep, calm, soothing, feeling

Unknown:

in my chest, relaxed feeling in my legs, maybe a heavy feeling

Unknown:

in my chest and my head is falling to the side. So as if

Unknown:

you were to hipness, hypnotize yourself back into sleep. And

Unknown:

you can learn to do that during the day. For a couple minutes.

Unknown:

When you have a break. Just tune into your breath. If you go for

Unknown:

a walk, tune into nature and notice how it feels to have the

Unknown:

wind touching your face, the sun warming your hands, and your

Unknown:

walk, how fast or how slow you walk. And then you can train

Unknown:

yourself already to have a more steady and calm mind. And

Unknown:

whenever you need it switched on, you will be able to switch

Unknown:

it on. Don't worry if you have an overactive mind, it will

Unknown:

always be ready to be switched on. But it is very very

Unknown:

important to find the balance between being in your head and

Unknown:

living from the heart. Awesome. Thank you so much for listening

Unknown:

to this episode, I will also post a meditation for you that

Unknown:

you can just listen to for whenever you can sleep or you

Unknown:

need deep relaxation. I have one episode for insomnia already in

Unknown:

season one so you can just search it up. And yeah, I have

Unknown:

an announcement to make. I will be upgrading my podcasting

Unknown:

performance here and have a website for you up and running

Unknown:

soon. Which will take me a lot of editing and working on my

Unknown:

computer. So tomorrow I'll be posting the interview, which I

Unknown:

would love you to listen to. And the next day I will take a day

Unknown:

two just focus on upgrading my podcast here for you, to provide

Unknown:

you with more in depth Yeah content, but also ways to

Unknown:

contact me or to research about my content here.

Unknown:

Thank you so much for listening. take really good care of

Unknown:

yourself. Until next time

Unknown:

bye bye
