Self- Abandonment is a tricky topic.

Welcome to another insightful episode of The Borealis Experience Podcast, where we delve into the complexities of personal development and self-discovery.

In today's episode, we're exploring the profound connection between self-abandonment, self-love, and the often-misunderstood world of New Year's resolutions.

What does it mean to neglect or reject ourselves emotionally and why is it so prevalent?

As the new year dawns, many of us embark on the well-intentioned journey of setting resolutions. However, we explore the argument that New Year's resolutions may be a futile endeavor if the foundation of self-love is absent. Our conversation delves into the psychology behind resolutions and why, without a strong self-affirming base, they might not stand the test of time.

Remember, the path to self-discovery is ongoing, and your commitment to loving yourself is the most transformative resolution of all.

Thank you for supporting The Borealis Experience Podcast where we explore the dance between self-acceptance and personal evolution.

With much love

Hello, and

Unknown: 00:00:03

welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm so happy to be

Unknown: 00:00:08

back to be reconnecting with you. I hope you're doing well. I

Unknown: 00:00:13

hope you feel peace. I hope you feel confident about yourself, I

Unknown: 00:00:19

hope you feel good about the path that you're on the journey

Unknown: 00:00:24

that you're engaged in. And if that's not the case, if you feel

Unknown: 00:00:30

confused, stuck, frustrated, lost. I hope my podcast will add

Unknown: 00:00:41

value to your life and support you inspire you make you feel

Unknown: 00:00:48

your heart and your soul. On a deeper level. I have a puppy

Unknown: 00:00:54

whining in the background. So that's my my challenge today.

Unknown: 00:00:59

But we'll just go with the flow and I will not let myself get

Unknown: 00:01:05

distracted. So it's

Unknown: 00:01:09

January, January.

Unknown: 00:01:12

difficulty speaking today.

Unknown: 00:01:14

It's January 7 2024.

Unknown: 00:01:20

We brought Christmas behind us and the New Year celebrations. I

Unknown: 00:01:26

hope you feel right. I hope you had a good time with friends and

Unknown: 00:01:31

family or with yourself if you decided to spend the holidays

Unknown: 00:01:36

alone. I totally understand this too. But yeah, I hope you don't

Unknown: 00:01:43

feel burned out. Because a lot of people that I talked to right

Unknown: 00:01:49

now are kind of happy that things are over. They had a good

Unknown: 00:01:54

time with family, good food and great outdoors activities

Unknown: 00:02:00

together. But it can also be a lot, a lot of texting, back and

Unknown: 00:02:04

forth coordinating, trying to please everybody or

Unknown: 00:02:09

accommodating everybody trying to not step on people's toes.

Unknown: 00:02:17

Trying to not feel triggered when it comes to family. Sorry,

Unknown: 00:02:21

family. So it can be a lot, there's a lot of expectations

Unknown: 00:02:26

involved. There's a lot of you know, out of routine, days

Unknown: 00:02:33

happening. And that's good. Let's get it messy. Let's get it

Unknown: 00:02:37

chaotic. But then it's also nice and exciting to go back to

Unknown: 00:02:44

routine. And maybe starting a new routine, right New Year's

Unknown: 00:02:49

resolutions, goals, dreams, whatever it is. intentions, a

Unknown: 00:02:56

lot of people talk about setting intentions now instead of having

Unknown: 00:03:01

a New Year's resolutions, and I totally applaud that embrace

Unknown: 00:03:05

that myself. Sometimes having resolutions are great, but it

Unknown: 00:03:14

can be too rigid, it can be you know, too big of a change that

Unknown: 00:03:20

we all of a sudden want to engage in. And then we drop it

Unknown: 00:03:24

after two weeks or maybe after two days already, get frustrated

Unknown: 00:03:28

with ourselves and then end up in a position that is worse than

Unknown: 00:03:32

when we first started. And I want to help you with that. I

Unknown: 00:03:38

don't want you to feel frustrated, I don't want you to

Unknown: 00:03:41

you know not set set goals or chase after your dreams. But

Unknown: 00:03:45

what I want to encourage you and make you aware of is that

Unknown: 00:03:49

sometimes we are with ourselves with our relationship to

Unknown: 00:03:54

ourselves, our life. We are in a spot where we tend to self

Unknown: 00:04:02

abandon, we put ourselves last. We have very harsh self talk. We

Unknown: 00:04:11

have belief systems in place that are not necessarily you

Unknown: 00:04:18

know, heart opening and kind towards ourself, or others. And

Unknown: 00:04:24

then we come up with a new year's resolution. Let's say we

Unknown: 00:04:28

want to have a successful business by the end of the year.

Unknown: 00:04:32

While we want to lose 15 kilos throughout the year. We want to

Unknown: 00:04:39

exercise regularly. If those New Year's resolutions meet a person

Unknown: 00:04:49

that constantly abandoned him or herself. That's not going to

Unknown: 00:04:55

work out. You're just going to hate yourself even more you're

Unknown: 00:04:58

going to feel like the biggest failure ever, if you have a

Unknown: 00:05:05

coach who tells you, yeah, awesome, set your goals low. And

Unknown: 00:05:09

then, you know, we build on that. And that's great advice

Unknown: 00:05:15

for a person who's been working on themselves and loves

Unknown: 00:05:19

themselves already. But a lot of people are not there yet. And

Unknown: 00:05:24

that's perfectly fine. No need to feel embarrassed or no need

Unknown: 00:05:29

to feel less than or not enough. But a lot of people have to

Unknown: 00:05:35

realize that they look into the mirror in the morning. And they

Unknown: 00:05:39

absolutely hate what they see. They can't even bring up a

Unknown: 00:05:42

smile, they can can't even look into their own eyes. And how can

Unknown: 00:05:47

a person like that all of a sudden, engage in practices that

Unknown: 00:05:52

are completely self loving and hard opening, right, just like a

Unknown: 00:05:56

person who has been living on the streets for the last couple

Unknown: 00:05:59

of weeks or months, all of a sudden going to a spa, they will

Unknown: 00:06:04

not feel comfortable. Because their nervous system is still in

Unknown: 00:06:12

abandonment mode, survival mode, having to fight or flight mode.

Unknown: 00:06:21

And then you want to start to you know, draw them a bath and

Unknown: 00:06:27

spend money on a massage and go to the hairdresser and have your

Unknown: 00:06:32

nails done and engage in a coaching journey. That might be

Unknown: 00:06:40

not in alignment with the person's nervous system, it

Unknown: 00:06:45

might be too much, like too much of a drastic change. And then

Unknown: 00:06:50

you cannot expect good results. You can have a great mindset,

Unknown: 00:06:56

very positive, very, right, push through the day, everything is

Unknown: 00:07:01

great, and kind of harass yourself to feel happy. But on

Unknown: 00:07:08

the inside, you know that you're lying to yourself on the inside,

Unknown: 00:07:11

you know that you're not ready yet for this. So you got to dial

Unknown: 00:07:16

back a little bit. And realize and accept that you don't like

Unknown: 00:07:26

yourself. Otherwise you wouldn't abandon yourself. And if you

Unknown: 00:07:33

were not to abandon yourself constantly, you could

Unknown: 00:07:37

consistently engage in self care practices. But there's something

Unknown: 00:07:43

inside of you that keeps manipulating the situation. And

Unknown: 00:07:50

what is that little thing inside of you? What is it that prevents

Unknown: 00:07:54

you from being consistent from showing up from being punctual

Unknown: 00:07:58

from being orderly from being this loving, open heart, a

Unknown: 00:08:04

person that absolutely adores him or herself and respects and

Unknown: 00:08:10

loves other people? You got to come back to that you can't run

Unknown: 00:08:16

away from it. You can, but it will cost you so much more

Unknown: 00:08:21

effort and energy and will just be a great waste of time.

Unknown: 00:08:27

Because again, on the outside, you will look like oh man, he's

Unknown: 00:08:31

got it all together. Oh, man, she's got it all. But on the

Unknown: 00:08:36

inside, you know, you're lying to yourself. And I'm always,

Unknown: 00:08:41

always always if you're listening to this podcast for

Unknown: 00:08:43

the first time. Here is what I do is that I want to get you to

Unknown: 00:08:49

the point where you look from the inside out and not from the

Unknown: 00:08:56

outside and not from the perspective of how do I fit in

Unknown: 00:09:02

how do I function? What do other people think of me? How do I you

Unknown: 00:09:07

know, communicate with other people. That's important too.

Unknown: 00:09:11

Because we all want to belong. We all need to belong for

Unknown: 00:09:15

survival. But I want you to go within to make space and time to

Unknown: 00:09:24

learn about yourself. Who are you? What part is it inside of

Unknown: 00:09:32

you? That keeps abandoning yourself that prevents you from

Unknown: 00:09:41

showing up from for yourself sorry. What is it that makes you

Unknown: 00:09:48

think that you're not deserving of nicely you know, running

Unknown: 00:09:58

business and above Then life, what is it inside of you, that

Unknown: 00:10:04

doesn't accept this beautiful relationship that you're in. And

Unknown: 00:10:09

you keep pushing your partner away. You keep building walls,

Unknown: 00:10:12

you keep blaming and shaming and all along, you know, it's

Unknown: 00:10:17

something inside of you that you need to heal. What is it inside

Unknown: 00:10:24

of you that makes you feel less than that? Has you compare

Unknown: 00:10:31

yourself all the time? And not always, but often I go back in

Unknown: 00:10:39

time with people, with my clients during the coaching

Unknown: 00:10:45

journey, and we explore what happened, what, what really

Unknown: 00:10:51

messed up your sense of self? And can we heal that? Can we

Unknown: 00:10:56

change your perspective on that? Right? I had a client the other

Unknown: 00:10:59

day, and she said, she's basically an orphan. She has no

Unknown: 00:11:03

parents she never had because they neglected her. They made

Unknown: 00:11:07

her feel shit. They, you know, emotionally, physically abused

Unknown: 00:11:13

her. She's an orphan, she says.

Unknown: 00:11:17

And she has a shaky foundation. So she is successful now. But

Unknown: 00:11:23

she's always scared that it's going to be taken away from her.

Unknown: 00:11:27

She's always scared that that hard that curtain? How do you

Unknown: 00:11:31

say that house of cards will collapse one day, because she

Unknown: 00:11:35

has a shaky foundation. Because her parents are just, they were

Unknown: 00:11:40

not parents for her. She didn't grow up with caregivers that

Unknown: 00:11:45

loved her, supported her. And so she doesn't really believe

Unknown: 00:11:50

herself in her success. And that's such a tragic story.

Unknown: 00:11:57

Because this woman is so extremely beautiful and so

Unknown: 00:12:00

capable and so intelligent, loving. And yet she believes

Unknown: 00:12:06

that she's not worthy because of her upbringing. So what we do is

Unknown: 00:12:12

we go back in time, and we find situations where she felt this

Unknown: 00:12:16

way, for the first time. And then change the perspective,

Unknown: 00:12:22

learn more about her parents, her upbringing, and so on, and

Unknown: 00:12:32

so on, and so on. So we sometimes have to go back in

Unknown: 00:12:35

time, right? Because a lot of people ask me, oh, I want to

Unknown: 00:12:38

start coaching. But I heard that's, you know, we only look

Unknown: 00:12:42

into the future, and we build strength for the future. Yeah,

Unknown: 00:12:47

we do all that. But sometimes you got to go back to your

Unknown: 00:12:51

roots. And you got to heal from the roots. And make sure that

Unknown: 00:12:59

you know, how worthy you are. Because no coaching in this

Unknown: 00:13:04

world is going to help you if you think you're not worthy of

Unknown: 00:13:08

it. And no, you know, New Year's resolution and self care

Unknown: 00:13:16

practice that you want to engage in is gonna, you know, be

Unknown: 00:13:25

consistent. How do you say that my English is really bad today,

Unknown: 00:13:32

you will not be able to stay consistent. It will not be

Unknown: 00:13:36

sustainable. If you don't love yourself, and was your mind was

Unknown: 00:13:42

the ego, you can, you know, keep forcing it and keep showing up

Unknown: 00:13:46

and go to the gym and lift heavier weights. But it's going

Unknown: 00:13:53

to be harder and harder. It's going to take more and more

Unknown: 00:13:56

effort. If you don't go back to your self abandonment issues.

Unknown: 00:14:05

And how does self abandonment look like? Well, self

Unknown: 00:14:09

abandonment has many, many faces. Right? We can have a

Unknown: 00:14:17

morning routine or we can have a plan for how our day wants to

Unknown: 00:14:23

unfold how we would feel best. And then somebody comes up and

Unknown: 00:14:28

say Hey, can you help me with this? All right, then I'm going

Unknown: 00:14:31

to help you with this. Because that person has helped us in the

Unknown: 00:14:34

past. We're going to show up for them now. All right, and then we

Unknown: 00:14:39

sit down and we want to get worked down. Finally everything

Unknown: 00:14:45

is quiet. We start working 10 minutes into the work. We think

Unknown: 00:14:51

I never got back to that person on Facebook. I better get them a

Unknown: 00:14:56

message sent because otherwise they be upset it, then I'm on

Unknown: 00:15:01

Facebook messaging. Next thing you know, I'm on social media on

Unknown: 00:15:06

tick tock on Instagram, everywhere checking if there's

Unknown: 00:15:09

messages or notifications or anything I need to get back to

Unknown: 00:15:13

half an hour goes by, oh shit, okay, I gotta go back to work,

Unknown: 00:15:19

then the phone rings and there's a person who needs help. And of

Unknown: 00:15:24

course, you're not going to, you know, let them down and you show

Unknown: 00:15:28

up for them. And then so your whole morning went by, in the

Unknown: 00:15:33

evening, you wanted to subscribe to a yoga class. And now your

Unknown: 00:15:39

husband tells you or your partner or whoever wanted to

Unknown: 00:15:43

show up for you that they don't have time to babysit the dog or

Unknown: 00:15:47

your child. And yeah, he goes your self care practice. You

Unknown: 00:15:57

have belief systems that when something goes wrong, that life

Unknown: 00:16:01

is against you, when somebody is upset or angry or treats you

Unknown: 00:16:05

like very poorly, that you deserve it, you have a hard time

Unknown: 00:16:13

setting boundaries, you have an extremely hard time expressing

Unknown: 00:16:16

your needs. Especially when it comes to your family and your

Unknown: 00:16:20

relationships.

Unknown: 00:16:23

You

Unknown: 00:16:25

have a feeling that consistency and structure is restraining you

Unknown: 00:16:32

restricting you it doesn't feel good. So you don't like

Unknown: 00:16:36

structure. Because back then, at school, maybe you had a bad

Unknown: 00:16:42

experience with a teacher and now you hate authority you hate

Unknown: 00:16:45

discipline you hate, you know, being punctual, you don't like

Unknown: 00:16:49

structure, because you have a negative condition, conditioning

Unknown: 00:16:56

with with structure and discipline, but that's needed in

Unknown: 00:17:00

order to be successful. So there's a tug of war, inside of

Unknown: 00:17:05

you, when you want to get things done, that you have a genuine

Unknown: 00:17:12

resistance to discipline, you can stay focused because of

Unknown: 00:17:17

that. And you get frustrated at yourself. And when people treat

Unknown: 00:17:24

you poorly, you believe them, you don't stand up for yourself,

Unknown: 00:17:28

when people need something from you. You give them you know,

Unknown: 00:17:32

you're all which is great. But we have to find times where we

Unknown: 00:17:38

say no. So to work on that first and to train, standing in front

Unknown: 00:17:47

of the mirror and to train to accept all parts of you. And to

Unknown: 00:17:52

bring up the parts that you resist. And absolutely, you

Unknown: 00:17:57

know, dislike and reject and to engage on a journey to embrace

Unknown: 00:18:05

those parts. Because if you keep living in denial of those parts,

Unknown: 00:18:10

they're gonna keep limping behind you, you know, like a

Unknown: 00:18:14

shadow like a sad, starved little dog. So you got to give

Unknown: 00:18:23

it some intention, even though it's not comfortable. But

Unknown: 00:18:27

otherwise, there's no point in engaging in great New Year's

Unknown: 00:18:32

intentions, resolutions, however you want to call it goals and

Unknown: 00:18:36

dreams. Because once you get there once you have the perfect

Unknown: 00:18:42

body once you have the great relationship, once you have the

Unknown: 00:18:45

job once you have the running business, you will not feel like

Unknown: 00:18:51

you deserve it. It will not be sustainable. And then what was

Unknown: 00:18:56

all the effort for you got to train your whole nervous system,

Unknown: 00:19:01

your whole being to be the biggest, greatest gift of love

Unknown: 00:19:14

to this world. That is so incredibly unique and magical

Unknown: 00:19:23

and needed. And then you were engaged in practices that are in

Unknown: 00:19:32

resonance with that. Everything that you do before embracing

Unknown: 00:19:37

yourself and loving yourself is going to be a waste of money.

Unknown: 00:19:43

All right. This is my message for you today and I'll send you

Unknown: 00:19:48

out into the state and this evening was so much love so much

Unknown: 00:19:52

respect. I can't wait to meet with you in person, be it at the

Unknown: 00:19:56

Unknown: 00:20:26

approach this thing called coaching. And yeah, if you have

Unknown: 00:20:33

a partner, if you are in a relationship, we can certainly

Unknown: 00:20:37

include your partner, or even try out a one time and Timothy

Unknown: 00:20:43

class, which I highly recommend, before engaging on a longer

Unknown: 00:20:48

journey. And if you're single, and want to heal from past

Unknown: 00:20:54

heartbreak and feel, yeah, you are not on a on a good path

Unknown: 00:21:00

right now with being single and you want to change things around

Unknown: 00:21:05

but you don't know how, then I'd gladly serve you as well. All
