alone time,

some people can't go without and some people go crazy as soon as they find themselves alone with their thoughts.

The covid situation has forced alone time upon us.

How do you feel about it?

with warmth

Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello,

Unknown:

and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm your host

Unknown:

Aurora, and I'm very happy to be spending some time with you

Unknown:

today. It is Friday, February 19 2021. Still full on COVID.

Unknown:

Find

Unknown:

time.

Unknown:

And today's episode I decided to make about alone

Unknown:

time.

Unknown:

A lot of us being forced to spend time alone with

Unknown:

themselves, maybe have a partner, maybe you have kids.

Unknown:

But if you're single, you really get a taste of loneliness and

Unknown:

alone time right now. And what is the difference? Really, I

Unknown:

think feeling lonely is more negative, and makes you feel

Unknown:

anxious at the same time. And alone time is more like quality

Unknown:

time with yourself. And I think it's always interesting to think

Unknown:

about what other people do when they are by themselves. We all

Unknown:

behave very differently when we are not being observed by

Unknown:

others. Because it can get really weird too. Don't get me

Unknown:

wrong. But most of the time, I think people can be really

Unknown:

themselves and fully at peace when they are alone. I struggled

Unknown:

with being alone for the longest time. And I always had to fill

Unknown:

it with an activity with food with TV or Facebook or Yeah,

Unknown:

watching movies. I was a very restless person. In the last

Unknown:

couple of 10 years, I would say a couple years, 10 years.

Unknown:

And now

Unknown:

moving out to the farm, living in the mountains. And having

Unknown:

nature right around me. It's easier for me to be alone and

Unknown:

silence and allowing myself to rest. And if you live in a city,

Unknown:

you probably know how difficult it is to find quiet time alone

Unknown:

time. Or maybe you are an expert. And then already, it

Unknown:

doesn't really matter how old you are. If you're a teenager,

Unknown:

if you're in your 60s 70s 80s or at your peak in your 30s or 40s.

Unknown:

We all need that time. There's even children. My brother, I

Unknown:

remember who came home from his kindergarten at three o'clock in

Unknown:

the afternoon and told mom like I need some time and my room

Unknown:

now. Not a nap, but just time with himself. And I find it

Unknown:

fascinating how some kids just do it already. And we look at

Unknown:

them and think Oh, this is so cute. And when you look at us,

Unknown:

we usually run around and are always busy doing something. And

Unknown:

to create a space a gap in your daily life where you can just do

Unknown:

nothing and breathe and just sit there with yourself is so

Unknown:

soothing. So healing. If you are a parent, maybe the bathroom is

Unknown:

the only space where you can actually relax and maybe even

Unknown:

there you get interrupted. So what I'm hoping today is to

Unknown:

provide you with a gap with some time where you can just lay on

Unknown:

your couch or sit on your cushion or even lay down on your

Unknown:

ground on your floor. And listen to my voice tune in to your

Unknown:

breath. And just forget about everything that is around you

Unknown:

for a moment. I might be tricking you into a little

Unknown:

meditation here. I'm just thinking. I'm not even gonna

Unknown:

title it meditation. What snitch Alright, So find a comfortable

Unknown:

space. And then really let yourself go. Let your shoulders

Unknown:

hang. sink into your couch or into the floor. relax the

Unknown:

muscles around your mouth, around your eyes, relax your

Unknown:

jaw. And just be there with yourself. You will notice, if

Unknown:

not already, this thoughts coming up. What the hell is he

Unknown:

doing there? How long is this gonna take? I'd rather do this,

Unknown:

I have to do this. Blah, blah, blah. What the mind does. Just

Unknown:

bring your focus back to your breath or to the couch, the

Unknown:

floor, you're feeling underneath your body. As soon as the

Unknown:

thoughts come back up, observe them. Let them go. Don't follow

Unknown:

them. Come back to your breath. Ready to get trick for when I

Unknown:

feel triggered and daily live and feel like I want to react

Unknown:

instead of gently responding what wisely responding is

Unknown:

counting. So what you can do now to is

Unknown:

count for when you inhale. them then hold your breath for four

Unknown:

and then exhale for four. And for today, you can stick to

Unknown:

number four. And you will see if you do that a little more

Unknown:

regularly, you can climb up the ladder. You can go to five,

Unknown:

maybe even eight. Inhale for hold for four and then exhale

Unknown:

for four.

Unknown:

Very good.

Unknown:

Again, relax the muscles around your eyes. muscles on your

Unknown:

forehead and neck. And once again, inhale 4321 hold for 4321

Unknown:

and exhale 432

Unknown:

and you can do this as long as feels good for you. If you are a

Unknown:

sportsman or sportswoman. It's also very, very good to allow

Unknown:

yourself to have these mental breaks at times. Your body can

Unknown:

rest your mind can rest. Your soul can expand and express

Unknown:

and if alone time is still uncomfortable for you I find

Unknown:

listening to a podcast here with me is so good. Because you are

Unknown:

by yourself but not completely. Someone guides you're someone

Unknown:

who cares.

Unknown:

And you might be able to take that sweet relaxation and

Unknown:

silence into your day.

Unknown:

One more time, inhale 4321 hold for 4321 and Now exhale 432 you

Unknown:

may continue here. This won't be the last alone time episode

Unknown:

because I feel it's really benefiting you and people were

Unknown:

requesting it. How can we be in a quiet place with everything

Unknown:

that's going on out there. So you may continue now for as long

Unknown:

as it feels good for you. Maybe you fall even asleep. Thank you

Unknown:

so much for listening to the Borealis experience. I'm your

Unknown:

host Aurora.

Unknown:

Now, your good,

Unknown:

peaceful space right now. Until now next time, take good care of

Unknown:

yourself.

Unknown:

Bye bye
