Shownotes

We are slowly but surely getting closer to the end of the year.

I love to ask myself these questions:

What do I want more of in my life ?

what do i want to let go of ?

where do I see myself within the next 6 months

I find it important to have a vision to not only keeping my monkey mind in check but be excited for the future.

What steps can I make to get closer to my goals ?

The next thing to be very aware of is that it is not always going to be easy and that 'feeling good' all the time can't be a good goal to set.

Change is uncomfortable. moving forward is painful. letting go of people or habits is very scary .. so .. this being said.


Your end goal can be feeling more satisfied and content and so on BUT to get there i will accept what it takes and especially those times of self doubt and growth pains


enjoy todays episode,


with much love

Aurora

Transcripts

Unknown:

Oh

Unknown:

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

Unknown:

host Aurora, life coach.

Unknown:

Always here on Monday and Thursdays, I want to create a

Unknown:

space for you, where you can recharge your batteries,

Unknown:

reflect, and rest. And most importantly, reconnect to

Unknown:

yourself. Sometimes it's not so much about learning new things

Unknown:

and acquiring stuff, reading books.

Unknown:

Sometimes it's more about unlearning, and letting go of

Unknown:

things. And being reminded of who you are.

Unknown:

Remember who you were, when you were three years old, eight

Unknown:

years old, 10 years old.

Unknown:

It is a beautiful journey to be on. Sometimes it is very

Unknown:

painful, because we learned to engage in situations that make

Unknown:

us feel good in the moment. But then realize that feeling good,

Unknown:

should not always be the goal, the aim,

Unknown:

sometimes feeling good as they are to distract and to

Unknown:

guide us further away from who we are, because we think we have

Unknown:

to change we think to

Unknown:

overly adapt in order to feel comfortable with other people.

Unknown:

And that is good for some time. But you will reach a point where

Unknown:

you don't know who you are anymore.

Unknown:

And that's a scary place to be.

Unknown:

So once you go within and see that you steered away

Unknown:

for too long, too far off from your own path.

Unknown:

It can be very disturbing and sobering. And that's what you

Unknown:

know, people don't expect at times, they want change, they

Unknown:

want to feel better.

Unknown:

But they think it's going to be an easy path, they think it's

Unknown:

going to be fun, and that they be laughing. Others think it's

Unknown:

going to be way too hard and not worth it. And it's more

Unknown:

comfortable and easier and time effective to stay on the path.

Unknown:

So everybody has a very different view on change on

Unknown:

being authentic.

Unknown:

We're slowly but surely approaching the end of 2021. And

Unknown:

what I love to ask myself towards the end of the year is

Unknown:

what is it I want to stop doing?

Unknown:

What is it that I want to slowly? Let go off?

Unknown:

What is it that doesn't serve me anymore?

Unknown:

Second question would be what is it I want to start doing? What

Unknown:

is it I want more of in my life?

Unknown:

So take a moment and maybe you know already while I'm talking

Unknown:

what you want to embrace a little more in the future and

Unknown:

what you want to let go off.

Unknown:

And it is so important to try and envision yourself.

Unknown:

Who would you like to be down the road?

Unknown:

If you go a couple of weeks ahead a couple months ahead a

Unknown:

couple of years maybe even who's the person you would like to be?

Unknown:

What would be most sustainable for you.

Unknown:

But let's get back to what we want to stop doing and let go

Unknown:

most of the time, if not all of the time, what we're engaging in

Unknown:

and what we want to let go of in the future. We are doing

Unknown:

initially to make ourselves feel good

Unknown:

to make ourselves

Unknown:

like more functional and okay

Unknown:

It is not things that we just engage, and then yeah, we don't

Unknown:

like them anymore, we engage in addiction, we engage in certain

Unknown:

behaviors for a very, very specific reason. And that is to

Unknown:

feel better to be able to cope.

Unknown:

So to just stop doing that behavior is not gonna work, of

Unknown:

course, you could cold turkey it and just stop doing it. And some

Unknown:

people are very successful at that. But most people stopped

Unknown:

doing

Unknown:

something, I don't want to talk only about addictions, but

Unknown:

habits. And then slowly through the backdoor, that habit creeps

Unknown:

back in as soon as should go sideways. As soon as, yeah,

Unknown:

things become difficult. And we are being reminded of why we

Unknown:

initially started that behavior.

Unknown:

So again, it can be pretty much everything it can be alcohol,

Unknown:

video, gaming,

Unknown:

emotional eating, whatever you come up with, to distract from

Unknown:

your pain.

Unknown:

And this is so important to attempt to have a coach at your

Unknown:

side. Because with your coach, you explore why you initially

Unknown:

engaged in that behavior, and then you start your healing

Unknown:

journey.

Unknown:

And you just start replacing this behavior that you want to

Unknown:

change, get rid of, with a new behavior that is more

Unknown:

beneficial.

Unknown:

And what is it you want to see down the road? What is it that

Unknown:

you want to, you know, have more in your life? And how can you

Unknown:

keep your goal in mind? And vision it?

Unknown:

If not on a on a hourly, but on a daily? And what are the baby

Unknown:

steps that you can get?

Unknown:

Or that you can take towards your goal?

Unknown:

I think that is such an incredibly important question.

Unknown:

Because sometimes we have a goal. And then we see people on

Unknown:

Facebook, on Instagram, in our life that are there already we

Unknown:

feel like and then we feel discouraged. Or another example

Unknown:

is we set a goal. But we're not really making baby steps or any

Unknown:

steps towards our goal. And after a couple of weeks or

Unknown:

months, we just drop it because we feel there's no point

Unknown:

anyways.

Unknown:

So this again, is something that your coach will help you with is

Unknown:

to stay accountable, and to explore what kind of steps you

Unknown:

would like to take in order to get closer to your goals.

Unknown:

So

Unknown:

first of all, find out what is it you want more in your life?

Unknown:

is a joy, is it love is a connection? isn't money?

Unknown:

And what is it? You want less?

Unknown:

Is a drama? Is it confusion? Is it miscommunication? Is it

Unknown:

health issues, money issues?

Unknown:

Loneliness.

Unknown:

And then we can go from there and see

Unknown:

how we can reach these goals.

Unknown:

You can hear it in my voice already. I'm very calm, close to

Unknown:

being sleepy. But it is that time of year where you know the

Unknown:

days are really short here in North America. And you really go

Unknown:

within and reflect and allow this. I know our society here is

Unknown:

doing quite the opposite.

Unknown:

Which doesn't make any sense, but this is how it is. But if

Unknown:

you are aware that Mother Nature is actually wanting you to get

Unknown:

to go inside and to go a little slower. And yes, society around

Unknown:

us is going crazy and it's all about planning and controlling

Unknown:

and influencing and buying presents.

Unknown:

And that can drive some of us severely crazy.

Unknown:

So I encourage you to make time be it in the morning in the

Unknown:

evening. Or if possible in middle of the day for you too.

Unknown:

To be alone with yourself and reflect and enjoy your company.

Unknown:

And if you don't enjoy a company that you see, hey, what is it

Unknown:

that I want to change? If I don't really like being with

Unknown:

myself, if I don't like to look myself in the eyes in the

Unknown:

mirror, then I would suggest we need change.

Unknown:

And that is okay. Change can be very uncomfortable. Change is

Unknown:

not going to be the I feel good route all the time.

Unknown:

But the end goal is going to be so satisfying. To feel authentic

Unknown:

to feel you can be yourself is so incredibly precious. And all

Unknown:

the pain all the digging all the unfolding that needs to happen

Unknown:

before is totally worth it.

Unknown:

I hope you know how precious you are. And not only because you're

Unknown:

listening to my podcast, but because if you are listening to

Unknown:

my podcast, it means you are growth oriented. You like to

Unknown:

challenge yourself. He likes to make this place a better world.

Unknown:

And you are willing to look at yourself instead

Unknown:

doing the work instead of blaming and shaming the outside

Unknown:

world. So let me tell you, I'm incredibly proud of who you are.

Unknown:

And I'm so blessed to have you here on this journey.

Unknown:

If ever you feel ready, reach out to me and schedule a coach

Unknown:

call. I would love to support you. I would love to empower

Unknown:

you. And the people who have reached out so far are Yeah,

Unknown:

again such a blessing. I learned so much. And we grow together

Unknown:

and it's just an incredible way

Unknown:

of connecting with people.

Unknown:

I couldn't be happier when it comes to my job and the way I

Unknown:

can interact with people and meet people from around the

Unknown:

globe.

Unknown:

If you have a moment, please leave me a review or a rating.

Unknown:
