Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I mean, Mr. Aurora, and I'm very happy to be

Unknown:

spending some time with you today, it's just going to be 10

Unknown:

minutes, 11 minutes that you can use to rest and relax, unwind

Unknown:

from a busy day from an busy mind. And just come back to

Unknown:

yourself.

Unknown:

Today I want to talk about conditional love. I

Unknown:

think we all know what unconditional love is. And we

Unknown:

also know what conditional love is not because of reading about

Unknown:

it, but because of loving it.

Unknown:

Especially the ladies out there. But of course, the gentleman

Unknown:

listening here can maybe relate or maybe you're not aware of it

Unknown:

yet, that you have

Unknown:

a lot of conditions, a lot of expectations, a lot of harsh

Unknown:

thoughts, when it comes to you. And the way you live the way you

Unknown:

look the way you feel.

Unknown:

Let's take an example.

Unknown:

A girl who wants to lose weight,

Unknown:

and she looks into the mirror and just sees that her pants are

Unknown:

not fitting anymore. And in her mind, she compares herself to

Unknown:

the other ladies out there

Unknown:

and decides to start a diet. And she started said with a harsh

Unknown:

comment, like you look fat, you will never be successful.

Unknown:

You are a failure. You have no discipline, blah, blah, blah,

Unknown:

and she will use that to lose weight. Why is she going to be

Unknown:

exist? Sorry. So you're going to be successful?

Unknown:

Chances are if she beats herself up on a regular, she can be

Unknown:

successful was it is that sustainable and healthy and? And

Unknown:

good the way she approaches it? Well, from an outsider's

Unknown:

perspective, of course not if she was to approach it from a

Unknown:

self love point of view, and just seeing that she could lose

Unknown:

a little more weight, but to be healthier to live

Unknown:

in a more healthier space, then approaching her diet in the

Unknown:

future would come from a place of love instead of guilt and

Unknown:

punishment and shame. Because if we approach something with

Unknown:

conditional love, what happens if we fail? What happens if the

Unknown:

other person disappoints us, while we are only left with huge

Unknown:

disappointment and having to punish or regret or anything, if

Unknown:

we approach it with the heart, then we can be more forgiving.

Unknown:

And if we are more forgiving, things are long lasting and

Unknown:

meant for us in the future.

Unknown:

Have a look at the guy who looks into the mirror and sees

Unknown:

perfection. His hair is awesome. He is reaching all the goals

Unknown:

that he's setting himself.

Unknown:

And

Unknown:

he can be described as a very successful man.

Unknown:

But is he happy? Most of those men are not happy. They focus so

Unknown:

much on being perfect and accomplishing that they have a

Unknown:

hard time relating to their partners and being compassionate

Unknown:

and loving them unconditionally. And why is that? Because they

Unknown:

don't love themselves unconditionally. And if you

Unknown:

don't love and accept yourself unconditionally, well, how can

Unknown:

you do that for another person? And isn't not what we're all

Unknown:

craving. We're all craving to be accepted and seen as who we are.

Unknown:

We don't want to be with a partner who as soon as we gain a

Unknown:

little bit of weight or as soon as we lose our job looks down on

Unknown:

us and makes us feel like a failure. If we feel like a

Unknown:

failure

Unknown:

Already, we want a partner who can see that, we will dig

Unknown:

ourselves out of that dirty hole and just continue being awesome.

Unknown:

We want our partner to have faith. But if that partner if

Unknown:

that person is looking into the mirror in the morning and just

Unknown:

sees perfection, doesn't

Unknown:

look into his eyes and can see pain and regret, and mistakes,

Unknown:

and happiness and contentment and appreciation, if he doesn't

Unknown:

see all that, if all he sees is perfection, then he will surely

Unknown:

expect that from the outside world. And he will just live in

Unknown:

huge disappointment because life love especially is not perfect.

Unknown:

There is no perfection anywhere on planet Earth, except if we

Unknown:

created artificially, and then it's very hard to maintain and

Unknown:

very exhausting for all participants.

Unknown:

Let's look at the guy who wants to stop smoking.

Unknown:

You

Unknown:

deeply reflect about yourself, and you find out that you're

Unknown:

smoking and you're not really doing it anymore. out of passion

Unknown:

for the taste.

Unknown:

You do it out of a habit and you're kind of in that habit and

Unknown:

you hate yourself. Every time you let that cigarette?

Unknown:

Well, resentment is not going to bring you far. And to say that

Unknown:

you're only going to start loving and accepting yourself

Unknown:

once you stop smoking, it's also not gonna help you further in

Unknown:

that quest. So how can you approach it if you want to stop

Unknown:

smoking? That guy wants to give up that habit that is so costly?

Unknown:

And also, yeah, not good for a south? What? First of all, he

Unknown:

can maybe dig a little deeper and find out why he needs that

Unknown:

habit. What does it that he would miss

Unknown:

if he was to stop that habit.

Unknown:

And then he can see that he's awesome the way he is. But his

Unknown:

body would be so much healthier in a better place and

Unknown:

all that jazz if he was to quit. So if he reaches a point where

Unknown:

he can have compassion for his body, again, and he can see that

Unknown:

he's not doing it out of

Unknown:

enjoyment,

Unknown:

the cigarette smoking, but because of laziness and habit,

Unknown:

then you can

Unknown:

move yourself out of that addiction way easier than if you

Unknown:

approach it with contempt, and harshness and punishment.

Unknown:

Because you might fall back and then you shouldn't just fall

Unknown:

back and say, Well, I'm just a failure anyways, you can fall

Unknown:

back and say, hey, yeah, it is hard to quit. But I want to do

Unknown:

this for myself, I want to show up for myself and stop that

Unknown:

habit that is harming myself. So those three little stories are

Unknown:

just a few examples of conditional love. And I hope you

Unknown:

can see that. As soon as we give up. Being conditional with

Unknown:

ourselves, we're also more forgiving and loving with

Unknown:

others. And some people are very good at being loving and

Unknown:

accepting of others, but are very harsh on themselves. While

Unknown:

that episode is for you, and the people who try to live in

Unknown:

perfection, and can only see

Unknown:

themselves lovable, if they are perfect if they are

Unknown:

accomplishing at least one goal every day, say look perfect, say

Unknown:

eat the perfect food, say exercise the perfect, awesome

Unknown:

sport. Then I lost my train of thought.

Unknown:

But I know you followed and you know exactly what I mean. All

Unknown:

those people that I described has to start loving and

Unknown:

accepting themselves. And then they will also feel richer in

Unknown:

their relationships and

Unknown:

expect less from their past partners and be more

Unknown:

compassionate and understanding. And if it comes to change, you

Unknown:

can help your partner as well.

Unknown:

to approach it from a space of love instead of harsh, mind

Unknown:

driven approaches.

Unknown:

Thank you so much for listening to this episode about

Unknown:

conditional love. Maybe you have a conditional lover and your

Unknown:

life and you can make them aware of it. Maybe not. And maybe it

Unknown:

is yourself who can become a little more aware that you don't

Unknown:

need to be harsh with yourself and beat yourself up in order to

Unknown:

be good out there in order to love yourself. Thank you so much

Unknown:

for listening to the Borealis experience. I'm your host

Unknown:

Aurora, and I'll be out there for you tomorrow again. Thank

Unknown:

you
