Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora life coach and companion on this

Unknown:

beautiful journey called life. I hope you feel good, I hope you

Unknown:

feel relaxed, I hope life is flowing nicely. I hope that you

Unknown:

can feel good and comfortable in your skin and evidence is not

Unknown:

the case, then I hope that I can bring you some value and help

Unknown:

you you know, bring down that stress level of yours and and

Unknown:

make you feel okay, a little bit. Yeah, more okay with where

Unknown:

you're at if you don't like it right now. And create a space

Unknown:

for you where you can relax and simply recharge your batteries.

Unknown:

It is June 21. Summer Solstice. And, yeah, it's been quite the

Unknown:

ride this year has been quite an interesting year for me. But

Unknown:

yeah, I think we all we all have stuff to work through and

Unknown:

situations that are being thrown at us that are not easy to deal

Unknown:

with. And then there's other people who are thriving and very

Unknown:

inspiring. So it's a constant change constant up and down. And

Unknown:

today, I want to talk about the obstacles that we put in our own

Unknown:

way. In which way do we stress not only each other out, but do

Unknown:

we stress ourselves out. It is very interesting to observe and

Unknown:

to be you know, a little detective when it comes to

Unknown:

articles online. And I don't really have the source of where

Unknown:

I heard this the other day, but it was not for me. It was

Unknown:

somebody who had done the research that there is people

Unknown:

out there. And he even said 50% of the people out there that's

Unknown:

create stress for themselves, that is not necessary. And he

Unknown:

said there they're going back to the childhood of the people that

Unknown:

were the you know, addicted to the stress the stressors, so to

Unknown:

say in society, and they found out that those people usually

Unknown:

had a very tensed situations at home, it was you know, sometimes

Unknown:

good, sometimes not so good, but overall, there was always a

Unknown:

slight tension within the family. So, the nervous system

Unknown:

of the child adapts to that tension and makes it normal. And

Unknown:

a person that grows up and attends to household that learns

Unknown:

that as specific tension in the nervous system is normal goes

Unknown:

out into the world now unconsciously seeking this

Unknown:

normal this behavior those situations, everything really

Unknown:

that can get that nervous system into that state of how it was

Unknown:

back then and the tensed dysregulated household will make

Unknown:

this people these people feel normal and somewhat good, even

Unknown:

though it is stress, even though it is not comfortable, they will

Unknown:

find that it is familiar and what the brain always seeks and

Unknown:

us as little habit animals will find comfort in great discomfort

Unknown:

because that is what we learned at a young age. So a person like

Unknown:

that will seem scattered all over the place. An organized as

Unknown:

sometimes it is a mixture of a people pleaser. So people who

Unknown:

keep see saying yes to projects to tasks to things that have to

Unknown:

get done, because they also learned maybe at home that you

Unknown:

have to be of service to others. So now if you have the

Unknown:

combination of both a people pleaser and a person who feels

Unknown:

at home when the nerve Our system is running crazy. What a

Unknown:

bombastic combination of chemic chemicals do you then have? It's

Unknown:

a very interesting one, I want to say, and maybe you can

Unknown:

reflect about yourself right now. Or you can think of a

Unknown:

person and maybe you thought of the person already, while I was

Unknown:

saying this, because every second person struggles with

Unknown:

being somewhat addicted to stress. I find that so, so crazy

Unknown:

interesting. And they not only labeled it stress, they only

Unknown:

they also label the drama. So people who label love and

Unknown:

relationship as messy or love as dramatic or love as

Unknown:

unpredictable. People will seek out these relationships and

Unknown:

these people that match this belief system. Isn't that so

Unknown:

fascinating? Right? Even though we can read books and study and

Unknown:

go to coaching and go to psychotherapists and take a

Unknown:

little pills, if we don't go all the way down to the root cause

Unknown:

on how we were calibrated, how we were conditioned, when we

Unknown:

were young, and what are normal is, we will not be able to

Unknown:

change this. And we will keep running into problems because

Unknown:

people are constantly burning out now after COVID More than

Unknown:

ever, because we are out and about again. And there's not

Unknown:

only the work, life balance that is making life difficult for

Unknown:

people, but also the leisure time stress, that it's really a

Unknown:

thing, leisure time stress, that people have so many positive

Unknown:

activities scheduled in that sometimes it gets so much that

Unknown:

it ends up being stressful. And that's totally fascinating with

Unknown:

me. So if you didn't learn to have boundaries with yourself,

Unknown:

boundary boundaries with others, you will keep running into

Unknown:

problems, you will keep burning yourself out, you will not be

Unknown:

able to keep your household clean and tidy, you will not be

Unknown:

able to keep your body healthy and in some way tidy, because it

Unknown:

will all feel like a to do. And it's just too much. Right when

Unknown:

the two dues get too much. We usually throw out the window and

Unknown:

Tennessee kindness self care. And it's it's crazy how how it

Unknown:

can change the character of a person to a point that you

Unknown:

really cannot recognize them anymore. So all this to say is I

Unknown:

invite you to reflect about your life. How do you organize your

Unknown:

life? To what do you say? Yes? To which behavior do you like?

Unknown:

Which behavior do you tolerate from other people? Where do you

Unknown:

set boundaries with yourself? And where can you confidently

Unknown:

say no? Because if you say yes, you know, you will end up in a

Unknown:

in a weird situation of exhaust moment of resentment. Where is

Unknown:

it that you are avoiding uncomfortable conversations?

Unknown:

Really? conversations that make you cringe when you think of

Unknown:

them? cringe? No, I don't know. It's another word that I'm

Unknown:

looking for. Not crunchy cringe. You know what I mean?

Unknown:

uncomfortable, an uncomfortable conversation that will, you

Unknown:

know, maybe expose a person, maybe make another person feel

Unknown:

uncomfortable and you're scared of the reaction. By not setting

Unknown:

your boundaries by not engaging in these conversations. You are

Unknown:

pushing things underneath a rug. Where then there is being

Unknown:

resentment built resentment and anger and sadness, which can

Unknown:

lead to depression if you don't address it.

Unknown:

So the more a person knows themselves. And you know, that

Unknown:

is something that I keep repeating on and on in my

Unknown:

podcast and my yoga studio and my coaching classes. The more

Unknown:

you know yourself, the better you're going to be at setting

Unknown:

boundaries, the better you know where your limits are, you will

Unknown:

know how much can I take on when do I have to start to say no.

Unknown:

And you will know how to express yourself in those uncomfortable

Unknown:

conversations. Because the more you avoid those, the more you

Unknown:

will realize that your relationships are going to be

Unknown:

tough, avoidant, inauthentic, exhausting. And you might end up

Unknown:

hurting and labeling yourself as an introvert. But not because

Unknown:

you are a genuine introvert but because you don't know how to

Unknown:

handle your own emotions and your expression in the world,

Unknown:

and how you can relate to people in a healthy way. That is where

Unknown:

the nitty gritty is, this is where the dog is buried, like we

Unknown:

say, in German. And it is really, really important to

Unknown:

notice, hey, I'm exhausted, I'm burned out, I'm sad, I'm tired,

Unknown:

I'm angry, I'm irritated, I'm agitated. Let's start and think

Unknown:

about where you can reduce your stress, where you can teach your

Unknown:

nervous system that being in a calm state is not a weakness,

Unknown:

being an accomp state, even if it feels uncomfortable at first,

Unknown:

even if your mind will kick in and give you 10,000 excuses to

Unknown:

not be in a calm state right now. Try it out just a couple

Unknown:

minutes a day. After waking up in the morning, set your alarm

Unknown:

clock tomorrow morning, just two minutes earlier. And once you

Unknown:

wake up, take those two minutes, to just sit on your bed, and to

Unknown:

feel your body to embrace the new day to be grateful for who

Unknown:

you are, and the mission you're on. And you can start from

Unknown:

there. It doesn't have to be big jumps. And if you need to talk

Unknown:

to somebody about your stress and how you handle stress and

Unknown:

how you possibly create all the stress that you have in your

Unknown:

life and want to start to take accountability for that. seek

Unknown:

out a mentor, a coach, a therapist, whatever you can

Unknown:

think of to help you out and feeling more grounded and

Unknown:

stable, feeling more like yourself, and not constantly

Unknown:

overwhelmed and burned out. So I think I'm gonna go deeper with

Unknown:

this topic in future episodes, because I realized that there is

Unknown:

a lot of people out there, including me, that suffer from

Unknown:

you know, having to be busy, otherwise, we feel worthless.

Unknown:

And also from like, suffer from unhealthy relationship dynamics

Unknown:

where things are not being expressed, that are difficult to

Unknown:

express. And, in doing so, and not expressing, we make our life

Unknown:

hard and miserable, and we become toxic in our

Unknown:

relationships. So stay tuned, with so much love I sent you out

Unknown:

into the day or into the night, wherever you are listening from.

Unknown:

Unknown:

love you so much. I love that you believe in my mission. And
