Hello, hello,

Unknown: 00:00:08

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

Unknown: 00:00:12

Aurora. And I'm very happy to be spending some time with you

Unknown: 00:00:16

today. It is April 30. While a good chunk of 2021 is over

Unknown: 00:00:26

already, maybe Spring has sprung, where you live, maybe

Unknown: 00:00:34

have summer all year round. For those of you who just came out

Unknown: 00:00:40

of winter and are anxious for spring and summer, I feel you so

Unknown: 00:00:45

much.

Unknown: 00:00:48

Today I want to talk about pandemic burnout. I will title

Unknown: 00:00:54

it well so that people who felt pretty good and awesome during

Unknown: 00:00:59

the pandemic, are not tempted to listen to this episode. This

Unknown: 00:01:06

episode is for you if you're sick and tired, with all this

Unknown: 00:01:11

Bs, with all the uncertainty, when uncertainty is giving you a

Unknown: 00:01:18

huge anxiety, and frustration. Maybe you don't know when you're

Unknown: 00:01:24

going to see a family again. Maybe you don't know which job

Unknown: 00:01:30

you want to work. When all this is over, maybe you started to

Unknown: 00:01:39

change your job. And like do things over zoom over the

Unknown: 00:01:45

internet. And you find that's

Unknown: 00:01:48

okay, but not really. A piece of cheesecake like I like to say

Unknown: 00:01:56

those are very troublesome times for a lot of people. The

Unknown: 00:02:02

uncertainty, the frustration, maybe money issues even are so

Unknown: 00:02:09

heavily weighing us down. By the way, I have the window open and

Unknown: 00:02:15

the wind is very strong today. So maybe you hear the whistling

Unknown: 00:02:20

in the background. And maybe you can imagine already where I'm

Unknown: 00:02:28

going to guide you to today, when you feel so frustrated and

Unknown: 00:02:32

rundown. It is namely back to yourself back to your heart and

Unknown: 00:02:39

maybe even connecting you with nature. Because one thing is for

Unknown: 00:02:45

sure.

Unknown: 00:02:46

nature will always be a place where you can replenish where

Unknown: 00:02:50

you can recharge your batteries. Nature is always going to be

Unknown: 00:02:55

there and support you. And nature teaches us resilience and

Unknown: 00:03:04

patience. I invite you to go for a walk here very soon. If not

Unknown: 00:03:10

today, if not right now put a jacket on and take me with you

Unknown: 00:03:15

and have a look at the trees. Have a look at the adversity,

Unknown: 00:03:21

sometimes even hostility those creatures have to go through and

Unknown: 00:03:27

still they stand they're strong and they do their thing. Namely,

Unknown: 00:03:34

producing oxygen for us

Unknown: 00:03:37

and through their root system. being deeply entwined with other

Unknown: 00:03:45

trees and plants, giving off nutrients taking in nutrients

Unknown: 00:03:51

from the soil, living in symbiosis with mushrooms in the

Unknown: 00:03:57

soil. So I want you to imagine yourself being a tree today. And

Unknown: 00:04:09

if it's hard for you to imagine yourself being a tree then I

Unknown: 00:04:12

want you to see yourself as a little wheel in a huge complex

Unknown: 00:04:19

system. And that system right now is shifting and changing.

Unknown: 00:04:27

And you just feel like you have to go with it and it feels

Unknown: 00:04:31

uncomfortable because change always feels uncomfortable. And

Unknown: 00:04:40

this is why I invite you to go outdoors. If you live close to a

Unknown: 00:04:46

beach. Then go for a walk at the beach and switch on all your

Unknown: 00:04:52

senses. Your smell. Touch the sand look at the sea. Look at

Unknown: 00:05:01

maybe shells. And then again with your feet, maybe you're

Unknown: 00:05:06

barefoot and you feel the sand between your toes. Maybe you

Unknown: 00:05:12

absolutely hate that picture.

Unknown: 00:05:15

But maybe absolutely love it. If you live close to a forest or a

Unknown: 00:05:21

park,

Unknown: 00:05:24

walk barefoot in the grass. You know, sometimes we feel totally

Unknown: 00:05:30

exhausted. But all it is that is that we consume too many toxic

Unknown: 00:05:38

news. We had too many toxic conversations that are not

Unknown: 00:05:43

uplifting and good. And now we have to do everything again, to

Unknown: 00:05:48

feel ourselves again. And the best thing to do that is when

Unknown: 00:05:53

you switch on your senses, taste, smell. And then you see,

Unknown: 00:06:02

and you hear you go outside into the nature. And you take it all

Unknown: 00:06:11

in, you touch a couple trees, or you touch someone leaves you

Unknown: 00:06:20

deeply Breathe in and smell the freshness. And you can sometimes

Unknown: 00:06:28

even taste nature. Like where I live here in the mountains, we

Unknown: 00:06:34

have so many berries, we have so many little things that you can

Unknown: 00:06:41

chew on and they just taste so incredibly good. needles or

Unknown: 00:06:49

pants, things that native people would teach us to use as

Unknown: 00:06:57

medicine. So please know, if you are totally exhausted and

Unknown: 00:07:07

overwhelmed with this situation, you're not alone in this and

Unknown: 00:07:12

there's nothing really you can do about this. You can accept it

Unknown: 00:07:17

and start to be at peace with it and know that it's going to pass

Unknown: 00:07:22

or you can fight it and totally exhaust yourself and even get

Unknown: 00:07:27

sick of that. So what I invite you to do today is sit with

Unknown: 00:07:34

yourself, meditate with yourself, be with yourself. Or

Unknown: 00:07:40

if the weather allows, go outside and explore, drive

Unknown: 00:07:45

somewhere where you've never been. And I know sometimes when

Unknown: 00:07:50

we do things by ourselves with feels so pathetic, you know,

Unknown: 00:07:55

just like standing in a group of people and everybody's smoking

Unknown: 00:07:58

or on their phones and you are a nonsmoker and you forgot your

Unknown: 00:08:03

home, in the car or at home. You feel like the most pathetic

Unknown: 00:08:07

person in the world right? So be that person, I invite you to be

Unknown: 00:08:13

that person. Because that person lives with all their senses

Unknown: 00:08:18

switched on. That person goes out and explores and wants to

Unknown: 00:08:24

know more and as against the nature of numbing yourself out

Unknown: 00:08:30

and over consuming news that are not serving you and not helping

Unknown: 00:08:35

anybody. I know you're so tired. I know you want to move freely

Unknown: 00:08:43

again. I know you want to go to a bar you want to meet friends.

Unknown: 00:08:49

Or maybe you just want to be able to travel again and see a

Unknown: 00:08:53

family trust me I know how you feel. And all I can do for you

Unknown: 00:09:00

is share with you what I am doing to keep sane in my brain.

Unknown: 00:09:08

If you love to listen to music, then please don't hold back and

Unknown: 00:09:13

listen to music day in day out. When you have a shower make it a

Unknown: 00:09:18

fun experience and switch your music on. Enjoy your body. Be

Unknown: 00:09:25

grateful for the water that you have. I think those times right

Unknown: 00:09:30

now can teach us something they can either break us or really

Unknown: 00:09:37

let us become deeper people. People with more depth when it

Unknown: 00:09:44

comes to emotions and expression. People with more

Unknown: 00:09:49

depth when it comes to experiencing life. When you wake

Unknown: 00:09:55

up in the morning, be grateful to be awake be grateful to be

Unknown: 00:09:59

without Pain, be grateful to have a full fridge, be grateful

Unknown: 00:10:04

that you can go out into the streets and go for a walk, be

Unknown: 00:10:10

grateful to be and to be seen, to be heard, to be able to

Unknown: 00:10:17

express yourself to breathe freely.

Unknown: 00:10:23

This is the focus I want you to have when you feel your

Unknown: 00:10:27

struggle. When you think it's just getting too much like it's

Unknown: 00:10:33

all too depressive, it's too long. If you're too trapped, too

Unknown: 00:10:41

restricted. You know, there's people who've been in jail for

Unknown: 00:10:47

20 plus years, there's been people in solitary confinement,

Unknown: 00:10:52

and they managed to control their brains to a degree where

Unknown: 00:10:59

they were becoming a little more okay with their situation, they

Unknown: 00:11:05

knew they had no choice, but to become one with themselves with

Unknown: 00:11:12

their heart and their mind. And to use their mind as a tool,

Unknown: 00:11:20

instead of the mind, using you, as a tool. Do not engage in

Unknown: 00:11:29

every thought that you have. Thoughts can be very toxic, and

Unknown: 00:11:35

thoughts can bring you to very dark places. When you feel and

Unknown: 00:11:41

see yourself going into a dark place with your thoughts with

Unknown: 00:11:45

your mind, come back to your breath. Come back and see

Unknown: 00:11:51

everything you have around you. And deeply appreciate what you

Unknown: 00:11:56

have around you take absolutely nothing for granted. Not your

Unknown: 00:12:02

freedom, not your possessions, not your deep connections,

Unknown: 00:12:07

because it can't be taken away from you at every moment of

Unknown: 00:12:12

life. And that doesn't mean to live in anxiety and fear and

Unknown: 00:12:17

clinging and overly attaching. It just means appreciating a

Unknown: 00:12:22

little bit more. And soon you will be free again. And soon the

Unknown: 00:12:28

wild years will come because we're all wild animals who have

Unknown: 00:12:34

been trapped for too long now. And when that happens, we react,

Unknown: 00:12:43

we respond. As soon as we feel freedom again, and it will be a

Unknown: 00:12:50

feast, it will be beautiful. It will be a time of reuniting and

Unknown: 00:13:00

celebrations and a deeper sense of life. I think, a deeper

Unknown: 00:13:09

appreciation of true human connections. Don't get me wrong

Unknown: 00:13:16

social media media is awesome. But we're also thirsty for deep

Unknown: 00:13:21

connections. deep conversations, loyalty, respect, understanding,

Unknown: 00:13:30

and we will all get that. But for now, we have to give it to

Unknown: 00:13:37

ourselves. We have to be there for ourselves and know that it

Unknown: 00:13:44

is okay to feel frustrated. It is okay to be so angry. But

Unknown: 00:13:50

don't let it consume you. I'm gonna let you go for now. I'll

Unknown: 00:13:56

be out there tomorrow. Again, take really good care of

Unknown: 00:14:00

yourself. Maybe go for a walk right now with some good music

Unknown: 00:14:05

or with another episode of mine here and have a huge glass of

Unknown: 00:14:09

water
