Shownotes

There is no way around selfcare.

Being a good person.

Helping others.

Avoiding conflict.

Avoiding people that make you feel shitty.

All this won't get you anywhere if you don't know how to stand up for yourself

nobody can and should do it for you.

Let's be honest. We secretly want to stand up for ourselves BUT something is holding us back .

Why is this ?

Let's have a closer look at it

with love

Aurora.

Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora.

Unknown:

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

Unknown:

today.

Unknown:

First off, I want to apologize for not posting my episode as

Unknown:

usual on Thursday.

Unknown:

I had kind of an emergency yesterday

Unknown:

and was not able to show up and tense back pain

Unknown:

to the point that I was not able to breathe properly anymore,

Unknown:

held me back.

Unknown:

And

Unknown:

I'm slowly but surely healing and taking really good care of

Unknown:

myself.

Unknown:

And I thought Yeah, first thing I want to do, once I have a

Unknown:

little more power, again, is to be there for you, and share with

Unknown:

you what I'm learning because I know, in sharing this, I might

Unknown:

am might be able to help you.

Unknown:

And

Unknown:

I can show up as authentically as I want. And that's going to

Unknown:

help me heal as well.

Unknown:

I think I was living under the impression that the more good I

Unknown:

was doing in the world,

Unknown:

the less likely

Unknown:

I will be hurt or disappointed or attacked by people.

Unknown:

And for the same reason. So thinking that if I do good in

Unknown:

the work world,

Unknown:

I also don't have to, yeah, really stand up for myself.

Unknown:

I can avoid

Unknown:

weird,

Unknown:

uncomfortable situations because I just want goodness in my life.

Unknown:

But in doing so I totally neglected myself, I was not

Unknown:

there for myself, I just kept putting work and content out

Unknown:

there thinking that I'm kind of paying into my health account.

Unknown:

But I was not. I was Yeah, doing an out of balance.

Unknown:

And now I'm paying the price.

Unknown:

Life will force you on to your knees and make you learn these

Unknown:

lessons.

Unknown:

Take care of yourself first. Make yourself a priority. And

Unknown:

you're not going to be selfish, you're going to be authentic,

Unknown:

you're going to be able to speak your truth and make people see

Unknown:

you understand you. Setting a boundary with someone doesn't

Unknown:

mean that you want to shut them out of your life. It means that

Unknown:

you give them a manual on how to treat you.

Unknown:

And I share this with people I preach this I beg people to take

Unknown:

care of this and focus on this

Unknown:

yet at the same time. I don't do it for myself.

Unknown:

And that's really concerning.

Unknown:

In German we say the dentist has the most crooked and ugly teeth

Unknown:

right they see what they can fix and do and the other and how to

Unknown:

serve others but they kind of neglect themselves.

Unknown:

Of course not every dentist has crooked teeth but I think you

Unknown:

know what I'm trying to say here

Unknown:

so yeah, I'm slowly but

Unknown:

surely you're recovering here

Unknown:

my

Unknown:

house practice you know my little rituals that I engaged

Unknown:

in. I also did in a in a resentful way kind of Yeah, I

Unknown:

have to go for this walk now I have to take care of my physical

Unknown:

health.

Unknown:

And I kind of abused myself into these habits to be healthy.

Unknown:

What the fuck was I thinking that that's going to keep me

Unknown:

healthy? No on a mental emotional level. I'm abusing

Unknown:

myself and my body may be to

Unknown:

to some degree.

Unknown:

So self care is really a tricky

Unknown:

Saying,

Unknown:

a thing that we have to learn to integrate in life and to not

Unknown:

practice it in an abusive way.

Unknown:

So yeah, I'm learning these very valuable lessons right now.

Unknown:

And

Unknown:

I'm just, yeah, very bad pain and my back is just

Unknown:

forcing me onto my knees and forcing me to look at where I

Unknown:

was not assertive, where I didn't speak up for myself.

Unknown:

And I know the situations now. And I know that in those

Unknown:

situations, I had physical pain. Mentally, I just had these sorts

Unknown:

of I need to escape, I need to run away, I need to make the

Unknown:

stop.

Unknown:

But acts externally, I didn't act, I didn't do anything, I

Unknown:

didn't do anything to make the shitty situation stop. So like a

Unknown:

sponge, I kept inhaling

Unknown:

that toxic energy. And now it accumulated inside of me. And

Unknown:

I'm dealing with that pain. And I think that's what I'm supposed

Unknown:

to learn. I'm supposed to learn to stand up for myself to not

Unknown:

expect my partner or anybody else around me to do it for me,

Unknown:

I have to do it for myself. I have to feel the self worth.

Unknown:

And then stand up for myself.

Unknown:

And know that it is going to improve my relationships and not

Unknown:

destroy them, because I think that's what I'm scared.

Unknown:

I'm scared that if I show up authentically, if I start

Unknown:

setting boundaries, that I'm going to piss people off that I

Unknown:

have to deal with their resentment and pain.

Unknown:

But if I learned to communicate my boundaries in a gentle way,

Unknown:

I can go to bed at night peacefully.

Unknown:

And know that any weird reaction is like from the other side from

Unknown:

the other party is not going to say anything about me, but about

Unknown:

them.

Unknown:

So

Unknown:

sometimes a coach needs a coach.

Unknown:

Unknown:

Unknown:

Unknown:

Unknown:

Once they let me know that they listen to my podcast and they

Unknown:

want to comment or share something about their lives.

Unknown:

Also,

Unknown:

I'm being very vulnerable with you.

Unknown:

It is a

Unknown:

it is

Unknown:

how do you say

Unknown:

I have to overcome resistance for sure. Before I'm being that

Unknown:

vulnerable because I thought, I'm a life coach. Now. I can't

Unknown:

feel that way. I have to be strong, I have to be a leader.

Unknown:

But I figured that I want to create connection with you. I

Unknown:

want you to trust me and to know that I'm not hovering somewhere

Unknown:

above you. I'm right there with you.

Unknown:

And I'm sure I can learn tons of things from you.

Unknown:

And that's what I'm learning right now with my coaching

Unknown:

clients is that yeah, they learn from me, I provide them all the

Unknown:

tools they need and I serve them

Unknown:

to the best of my abilities, but I also learned so much about

Unknown:

life and about myself and it's just a beautiful journey to be

Unknown:

on.

Unknown:

Unknown:

hold back for 60 minutes are for free. And it's it's incredible

Unknown:

what we can

Unknown:

unlock when it comes to a potential

Unknown:

It is incredible how we can experience a little shift of

Unknown:

perspective within one session. And it can change our lives. And

Unknown:

as

Unknown:
