Shownotes

Hey there,

Have you ever wondered why it is so much easier to listen to some people and not to others?

Well here in this episode I will share with you what I think why this is.

We are all animals, remember?

We remember how someone made us FEEL and then the intellectual and factual stuff comes next ..

When you express yourself you describe with words how something made you feel and this goes so deep that you get someone to truly listen to you, attune to you, open up to you and so much more. :)

Enjoy this little observation of mine here

with Love

Aurora

Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora, and I'm very happy to be

Unknown:

spending some time with you today. I have the window open,

Unknown:

and it's very windy outside. So if you hear the wind, know that

Unknown:

it's helping to melt the snow, and I'm very, very happy about

Unknown:

it. Today I want to talk about expressing yourself versus

Unknown:

talking. I don't know if you really pay attention to people

Unknown:

when they talk to you. And if you can feel and see the

Unknown:

difference when they express themselves. I didn't look up any

Unknown:

definitions now. But I know for me, it's a huge difference. When

Unknown:

a person talks, it can be either entertaining, or boring, self

Unknown:

centered, opinionated, judgmental. When a person

Unknown:

expresses him or herself, it comes from the heart. It comes

Unknown:

from a deeper place. And usually people listen more to people who

Unknown:

express themselves than people who just talk. You see, a person

Unknown:

who talks can have Valley very sorry, valuable information for

Unknown:

you to learn about new things that you can discover, like on

Unknown:

an intellectual level. But when it comes to a feeling level, and

Unknown:

I think I repeat myself often enough, we're all animals. And

Unknown:

we all care crazily much about how we feel in a sentence

Unknown:

situation. When someone expresses true interest, when

Unknown:

someone expresses true feelings, that is when they touch your

Unknown:

heart. That is when you know, they want you over as a

Unknown:

listener. So I'm going to give you a little example here. Let's

Unknown:

say I talked to you about the weather. weather. It's pretty

Unknown:

nice today. It's been snowing, now it's sunny. And I'm going to

Unknown:

go for a walk today. And then afterwards. Yeah, cook a meal.

Unknown:

Maybe watch a movie, read a book. And that's it. That's my

Unknown:

day. So give you a bunch of facts, so to say about myself

Unknown:

things that I'm going to do things that I'm observing, and

Unknown:

maybe you're interested in that, but maybe at the same time you

Unknown:

thought that's when I asked you how your day is going? How you

Unknown:

are. That's not really the response that I wanted. But you

Unknown:

see, oftentimes we give people that response. Instead of

Unknown:

saying, Oh, yeah, we're fine, which is the ultimate slap in

Unknown:

the face as an answer. We give them a little rundown of what

Unknown:

we've done, we're gonna do in the day. And it's maybe

Unknown:

interesting to some degree, but not really doesn't create

Unknown:

connection doesn't create any depth. And it sure doesn't let

Unknown:

the person know how you feel in the moment doesn't always have

Unknown:

to be about them. Right? You don't have to completely open up

Unknown:

and tell them how much Yeah, they mean to you and everything.

Unknown:

But when you are in a race relationship, or it's a

Unknown:

friendship or acquaintance or just someone who's genuinely

Unknown:

interested in you, watch what you're doing. Are you talking or

Unknown:

are you expressing yourself? If you want to keep that person at

Unknown:

a distance, keep talking honey, because that's for sure how

Unknown:

you're going to keep them on a distance. If you go deeper and

Unknown:

share how you feel. How you Yeah,

Unknown:

the phone is ringing but I'm gonna ignore it. How the things

Unknown:

that you've experienced today, made you feel you know, I am

Unknown:

repeating myself a lot here, but I will keep doing it. Then

Unknown:

people will feel like you want to connect with them. You want

Unknown:

to be vulnerable with them, you share something with them, that

Unknown:

you wouldn't share with a complete stranger. And this is

Unknown:

what creates depth. This is what creates genuine relationships.

Unknown:

So next time you talk, observe yourself if you're just talking,

Unknown:

expressing yourself instead. And you will see it makes a huge

Unknown:

difference in your relationships, be it with your

Unknown:

siblings, your parents, your friends. And even with a

Unknown:

stranger, sometimes when you tell a stranger, instead of just

Unknown:

saying fine. Hey, no, I had a tough day, I'm going through a

Unknown:

divorce. No, I'm actually really hungry right now. And I don't

Unknown:

feel well, they will show compassion, they will, like be

Unknown:

curious about you, if they are open to it, if they don't have

Unknown:

too much on their own plate. But usually when you are open and

Unknown:

vulnerable, and express yourself authentically, you create

Unknown:

something and the other person you want to be as honest as

Unknown:

possible, as authentic as possible. And it will open up

Unknown:

doors and other people, it will make them see you, it will make

Unknown:

them feel compassion, and empathy. And they will be able

Unknown:

to relate to you. Talking can go deep to when you tell a story

Unknown:

about your painful past or something. But there again, when

Unknown:

you go into details and how you felt in a situation, it will

Unknown:

touch the person way more than if you just throw a story to

Unknown:

their feet. So to say. So this is just a short little episode

Unknown:

for you. I feel I could say much more about this topic expressing

Unknown:

versus talking. But I will leave it at that short and sweet

Unknown:

because now it is up to you to observe yourself on how shallow

Unknown:

you are, or on how deep you are. It is very scary to go deep at

Unknown:

times. But the fruits that you will reap from that behavior are

Unknown:

incredibly precious. You not only create a relationship with

Unknown:

another person, but you also feel yourself on a deeper level.

Unknown:

And this is what the Borealis bot podcast is all about. I want

Unknown:

to connect you back to yourself. Know yourself. And I know you

Unknown:

can be such a strong and beautiful person out there in

Unknown:

the community in life and enrich people and enrich yourself.

Unknown:

express yourself. Never hold back on how you feel. And I will

Unknown:

leave you with that. I will be out there tomorrow. Again. Thank

Unknown:

you so much for listening to the Borealis experience.
