Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm

Unknown:

your host Aurora. And I'm so grateful to have you here. Yeah,

Unknown:

spending some time with you today. I hope you enjoyed my

Unknown:

interview with Sean. The other day, and yeah, today I'm very

Unknown:

happy to be posting another episode, I had a day of working

Unknown:

on my website and slightly severe meltdown, because of my

Unknown:

phone working something with the software and yeah.

Unknown:

Having to address it tomorrow again, but very annoying as you

Unknown:

can imagine.

Unknown:

We're also dependent on these devices. It's incredible. But

Unknown:

yeah, when they function, they're awesome. Today, I want

Unknown:

to talk about resilience. In season number one, I had one

Unknown:

episode about resilience already. So if you're really

Unknown:

interested about that topic, feel free to go back and listen

Unknown:

to that episode too. And today, I want to talk about how

Unknown:

important it is to have a support net. And what do I mean

Unknown:

by support net?

Unknown:

It's not necessarily people, yet, it can be people.

Unknown:

But if you think about

Unknown:

my example, today, being super annoyed and upset with my phone,

Unknown:

I had to keep focus on what is functioning in my life, and what

Unknown:

can I do?

Unknown:

If my phone is not working? What can I do in Wi Fi zone?

Unknown:

How can I not make this issue with my phone effect my whole

Unknown:

life, my whole mood, maybe you're very good at it, maybe

Unknown:

something like that wouldn't majorly push you out of balance.

Unknown:

But I think there's a lot of people out there just like me,

Unknown:

who

Unknown:

maybe even overreact or are too focused on problem solving mode

Unknown:

and being annoyed and upset and disappointed mode.

Unknown:

So if you can identify if you can relate, then this episode is

Unknown:

exactly for you, dear person out there.

Unknown:

Thank you for being there and making me feel less alone. So it

Unknown:

is very, very important that in these moments where our brain

Unknown:

is kind of taking over a whole life. And we want to get rid of

Unknown:

that nuisance

Unknown:

that we learn to have moments, minutes, maybe hours in between

Unknown:

where we can focus on something else. Because if you bite onto

Unknown:

that problem like a pitbull, yeah, you can get to your goal.

Unknown:

But But at what expense?

Unknown:

Are you going to be nasty with people like you going to be that

Unknown:

total elbow person? Or are you going to neglect other things in

Unknown:

the meantime that are important to

Unknown:

have in mind, just because you want to solve that one problem.

Unknown:

So coming back to my example today, I just took my dogs at

Unknown:

some point and went for a little walk. And it really helped me to

Unknown:

free my mind and to go into birds perspective. And to be

Unknown:

more okay with the fucked up situation I was in.

Unknown:

And we all have to do that at times.

Unknown:

I talked about death a couple of weeks ago. And there it is the

Unknown:

same thing.

Unknown:

Totally sad and depressed for a couple of hours. And then I

Unknown:

thought, Ah, no, I have to

Unknown:

show action. I have to be there for the people who suffer more

Unknown:

than me in that moment who suffer from that loss in a very

Unknown:

direct way. Because for me it's just indirectly because a person

Unknown:

is in France and I love that person so much but for the

Unknown:

person who spent their entire life with him. It must have been

Unknown:

so terrifying. So

Unknown:

Instead of indulging in my sadness, I decided to be

Unknown:

proactive.

Unknown:

And this is what we can do. When we are in a shitty situation,

Unknown:

like, zoom out for a moment, of course, unless you're there and

Unknown:

bleeding out.

Unknown:

But if it is a minor issue like I had with my phone or with my

Unknown:

laptop, or whatever,

Unknown:

put it aside for a moment and focus on something that is more

Unknown:

important, or from a different nature. And that can kind of

Unknown:

calm you down again.

Unknown:

Take a deep breath in between as well. At this point, I want to

Unknown:

thank you guys and girls to be out there.

Unknown:

Yesterday,

Unknown:

as I said, I focused on my website,

Unknown:

wanting to provide you with more content, more videos.

Unknown:

And I really missed record in an episode here. So I'm so grateful

Unknown:

that you receive my message and that you digested well, and

Unknown:

maybe yeah, reflect about it and can use the couple of tools here

Unknown:

that I provide for you, here and there to make your life easier,

Unknown:

more flowing, and to

Unknown:

have more enjoyable relationships, in depth

Unknown:

relationships.

Unknown:

And there are two when it comes to resilience, you will see as

Unknown:

soon as you learn

Unknown:

to

Unknown:

not throw the towel in as we say in German.

Unknown:

But to see as the problem as it is.

Unknown:

And then see the people around around you again, and being able

Unknown:

to listening to them again and be there for them again. Because

Unknown:

that might be way more important than that little issue that you

Unknown:

might have with your devices or with something else that is

Unknown:

super, super annoying. To take out that intensity of having to

Unknown:

solve something is also very, very healthy. Because some

Unknown:

people react with headaches. I for instance, react with stomach

Unknown:

pains and gut inflammation. And if we learn to be more smooth,

Unknown:

more, I don't want to say less say fair, but more okay with

Unknown:

shed going sideways at times, it also benefits your health, if

Unknown:

you are able to go to bed at night. And

Unknown:

to

Unknown:

just see the problem as it is, but know that sleep is so

Unknown:

critical. Drinking water, eating good food, having a one bed to

Unknown:

go to at night, and to being able to fall asleep and to have

Unknown:

a deep restful sleep is so so much more important than when

Unknown:

you are going to solve that problem. We all have those

Unknown:

problems at times, and people will understand how annoying it

Unknown:

is. And they will not judge you if it took you a day longer or

Unknown:

10 minutes longer if it was for your health sake.

Unknown:

So

Unknown:

take a moment now and be grateful for this little moment

Unknown:

of peace here because maybe you had a shitty experience just now

Unknown:

and decided to tune into my episode. And afterwards, you

Unknown:

will look at it maybe with different eyes, maybe you're

Unknown:

more relaxed. Maybe you came back to your breath. Maybe that

Unknown:

problem is solved.

Unknown:

Maybe your heart rate is lower and more constant and calm.

Unknown:

Maybe you're thirsty and you're just gonna drink a big cup of

Unknown:

water afterwards. And know that with a fresh mind. You can

Unknown:

address a problem from a different angle. Maybe you need

Unknown:

to ask for help. Maybe you can solve that problem by yourself

Unknown:

and you really shouldn't.

Unknown:

Maybe this problem is gonna

Unknown:

make sense at some point and then you look back in a couple

Unknown:

of weeks and think oh my god

Unknown:

Ah, this is when I met my best friend, or this is how I

Unknown:

discovered another thing that is very precious in my life. Now,

Unknown:

of course, the best friend is not a thing, but you know what I

Unknown:

mean? So, too bad situation as shitty and cliche, it's sounds,

Unknown:

there is always a good

Unknown:

side to it too.

Unknown:

And maybe in those moments where we come become most irritated,

Unknown:

we can just, I don't know, just dragged our monkey mind into

Unknown:

that position like, oh, yeah, I just broke my leg. But what if

Unknown:

it is something good? And yeah, it is stupid in that moment, if

Unknown:

you imagine a person breaking their leg now and thinking about

Unknown:

the good thing.

Unknown:

But try it out. It is fun. Now the brain then can neutralize a

Unknown:

situation and you can react more rationally instead of

Unknown:

emotionally and from a very annoyed, irritated space.

Unknown:

So this won't be the last episode about resilience. I will

Unknown:

post way more because I know I still have to learn to be more

Unknown:

resilient to have a more peaceful state of mind and

Unknown:

joyous life. But for now, that said, Have a good rest of your

Unknown:

day. Take good care of yourself. And I will drink a huge glass of

Unknown:

water now because I'm super thirsty.

Unknown:

Until next time, bye bye
