Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora, and I'm very happy to be

Unknown:

spending some time with you today. It is, yeah, end of

Unknown:

October, it's getting gray and cold out there. So please be

Unknown:

reminded that I'm offering coaching sessions now. If ever

Unknown:

you feel blue, dark, uninspired or stuck, I'm there for you,

Unknown:

too. Yeah, empower yourself. And I will provide you with tools

Unknown:

that can sweeten up your life for sure. I received the most

Unknown:

awesomest compliment here the other day, I was called a secret

Unknown:

weapon, secret weapon of love, light and empowerment, because

Unknown:

the person who had connected with me didn't tell his her

Unknown:

friends. And he she started working with my tools and his

Unknown:

environment, her environment started reacting very positively

Unknown:

to his her change. So yeah, I was feeling very joyous and

Unknown:

excited about it. Because that's exactly my intention. I want to

Unknown:

provide people with tools that I back then didn't have to dig

Unknown:

myself out and lighten the weight, and help people to be

Unknown:

Yeah, happier with themselves, the more happy we are with

Unknown:

ourselves, the better people we can be in society, and the

Unknown:

better parents, friends sexual, like romantic partners, and I

Unknown:

think we all win. We all win. If we start looking inside of

Unknown:

ourselves first. Today, I want to talk about being unstoppable.

Unknown:

i There's so much stuff out there, you know, inspirational

Unknown:

coaching stuff. And I hope I don't sound too cliche here if I

Unknown:

use that word unstoppable. But feeling being unstoppable is

Unknown:

something that is really hard to describe it is that little alarm

Unknown:

clock in the morning, that doesn't feel like an alarm

Unknown:

clock, it makes you spring, jump out of bed and be productive

Unknown:

because you are so excited about what you're doing and pursuing

Unknown:

your purpose and connecting with people. And whatever you do. It

Unknown:

doesn't really matter. It is an intrinsic motivation. That

Unknown:

pushes you to do incredible stuff that pushes you to

Unknown:

accomplish things that back then or maybe even still now you

Unknown:

think how am I actually doing this? And it is because you know

Unknown:

your why? Maybe you have read a couple books on that already.

Unknown:

And you can just roll your eyes and skip to the next episode.

Unknown:

But maybe that this is new to you. If we know why we get up in

Unknown:

the morning, and it is a very strong intrinsic motivation. We

Unknown:

are capable of doing the impossible. Look at the person.

Unknown:

You know I'm picking jobs now where people usually look down

Unknown:

on look at the street sweeper, who is doing an amazing job

Unknown:

because he just loves knowing that people enjoy a clean

Unknown:

sidewalk. Look at the McDonald's employee who absolutely is

Unknown:

blooming and and shining and beautiful at her workplace.

Unknown:

Because she knows she's preparing food for people. And

Unknown:

she knows that the money she's making she can use to help her

Unknown:

mom who is sick at home and it makes her feel empowered and

Unknown:

makes her feel important and belonging to society. So those

Unknown:

were just two small examples, but I know you know what I'm

Unknown:

trying to say They hear sometimes we look at people and

Unknown:

we're just wondering, Hey, how like what is driving them? Why

Unknown:

are they so like in such a good mood? And why do they do such

Unknown:

good work? It is because they live and work in alignment with

Unknown:

their purpose and their values. And it is only then that we can

Unknown:

be sustainably successful, and being content and happy. And

Unknown:

then being content and happy, as I said at the beginning, we can

Unknown:

we be way better partners and parents, and daughters and sons,

Unknown:

and whatever role we are playing. I hope this makes sense

Unknown:

to you. So the most important thing is to find out why you are

Unknown:

doing what you're doing. And it really doesn't matter what your

Unknown:

motivation is. It has to be in alignment with your values, it

Unknown:

is most likely serving others it is never harming others. And it

Unknown:

is not an easy to copy explanation. You know, some

Unknown:

people say yeah, because I just love money, and I want to make

Unknown:

money. I don't believe people who just have a simple answer to

Unknown:

such a complex question. It is a complex question, when you look

Unknown:

at it on a deeper level, and today, I want to share with you

Unknown:

what is driving me so intensely to do what I'm doing. And I hope

Unknown:

this will inspire you. I hope you will get to know me on a

Unknown:

deeper level. And maybe we can connect over this on Facebook

Unknown:

and you just share with me what you learned or what you disagree

Unknown:

with, or what your why is. So I'm not going to make this a

Unknown:

super long story. But I'm going to wrap a couple decades into a

Unknown:

couple of sentences for you to not waste unnecessary, valuable

Unknown:

time but for you to know me on a deeper level and finding out

Unknown:

what my why is. So it is 10 to 15 years ago I was still a

Unknown:

physiotherapist and I really loved my job I poured my heart

Unknown:

into it. I really enjoyed seeing people getting healthier feeling

Unknown:

better in their body than when they first came to me. But

Unknown:

slowly and surely I worked myself into a burn out a very

Unknown:

intense one. emotionally and mentally I was a total rap

Unknown:

wreck. And at the same time, the guy that I was dating the guy

Unknown:

that I imagined building a life with my sweetheart from primary

Unknown:

school actually broke up with me. And the way he broke up with

Unknown:

me it was so crazy Shetty we were entertaining, let's say a

Unknown:

long distance relationship. And from one day to the other. He

Unknown:

didn't reply to my messages anymore. Yep. So yeah, I burn

Unknown:

out. And heartbreak in combination is certainly not a

Unknown:

recipe for success. And additionally, I'm not a person

Unknown:

who really likes to share pain Yeah, to some degree but back

Unknown:

then I was so much in pain because

Unknown:

it was so intense on so many levels. You know, I was in pain

Unknown:

at work. I felt that I was less and less effective. I was less

Unknown:

and less. Yeah, good at my job because I burned myself out. And

Unknown:

then my heartbreak made it really hard for me to function

Unknown:

and to get up in the morning and to Yeah, believe and love. And

Unknown:

to to know that yeah, this is temporary. It is painful and it

Unknown:

is going to go away. I couldn't see the light. I couldn't see

Unknown:

anything, any anchor anything I could lean on. There were no

Unknown:

books. There were no YouTube videos. There were no podcasts,

Unknown:

and no one in my friends circle who could really understand and

Unknown:

relate Due to my pain because I chose to not 100% Share and that

Unknown:

was, in retrospect, a big mistake. But yeah, I cannot undo

Unknown:

it right. So my boss at the time recommended that I was in need

Unknown:

of seeing a therapist up psychotherapist. Without big

Unknown:

resistance I agreed. And I went to a couple sessions and reached

Unknown:

the point where she really made me feel that I am too stubborn

Unknown:

to feel better. Heartbreak is part of life, and I should get

Unknown:

the fuck over it. And I should focus on my job more. And maybe

Unknown:

what I have not mentioned is that she closely worked together

Unknown:

with my boss. So my boss was, yeah, very kind and suggesting

Unknown:

that therapist to me. But all he wanted is for me to Yes, feel

Unknown:

better, but also to come back and do the work that I left

Unknown:

behind. And that pressure and that weird negativity from that

Unknown:

therapist just made me Yeah, repel. I felt like a total

Unknown:

failure. I felt like, yeah, the biggest wreck that there is, and

Unknown:

nothing that this therapist said, could help me now don't

Unknown:

get me wrong, there's awesome therapists out there. And she

Unknown:

was probably one of them. But it was just not a good match. And I

Unknown:

choose to not go to any more appointments. And then I got

Unknown:

physically sick because my emotional pain and my mental

Unknown:

pain was really taking a toll on my body now. So it just got

Unknown:

worse and worse and worse and worse. Long story short, it took

Unknown:

me 10 years, you know, to first engaged in my shitty soothing

Unknown:

habits again, you know, excessively doing sport totally

Unknown:

was gone from my friends and family binge watching movies.

Unknown:

Not really taking good care of myself. So I wasted so to say 10

Unknown:

years, not really addressing my pain and kind of navigating

Unknown:

through life in a half acid way. And then I ended up immigrating

Unknown:

to Canada, thinking that all my pain, everything I can leave

Unknown:

behind and start a new life. Well, surprise, surprise, this

Unknown:

is not how it goes. All your pain catches up with you one

Unknown:

day. And it is then that I realized, okay, if I want to

Unknown:

make this move to Canada worthwhile, I need to work on

Unknown:

myself, I have to get rid of my baggage and address it first and

Unknown:

then let it go. But there is no way around it. Fuck. I thought I

Unknown:

can just emigrate to another country, go through the very

Unknown:

painful and long immigration process and then be fine. No,

Unknown:

that was not the case. I brought all my shed over here to North

Unknown:

America, and then had to look at it. First panic attacks. And

Unknown:

then yeah, I started addressing it because the panic attacks

Unknown:

were really influencing my life in a very, very negative way

Unknown:

that I couldn't move freely anymore. So I started my journey

Unknown:

with with a coach and he just tremendously helped me to undo

Unknown:

undid my, my stuff that I was successfully suppressing. And he

Unknown:

gave me tools, he recommended books to me. He again, suggested

Unknown:

ways of approaching my problems. And then he let me go for a

Unknown:

couple of weeks. And then I tried the tools and was really

Unknown:

feeling I was getting somewhere. I was digging up my past looking

Unknown:

at it and making peace with it and able to move on. And all the

Unknown:

tools that I learned during that time and I'm still learning

Unknown:

right I'm still not 100% there. I was so amazed by how simple it

Unknown:

is. But we just have to start believing in ourselves again. We

Unknown:

don't have to Yeah, walk around and just think that oh, I'm the

Unknown:

biggest wreck and nobody can help me because I'm so damaged.

Unknown:

No you're not you're probably not as damaged as I was back

Unknown:

then. And this is not To make your problems, less important,

Unknown:

but it is to emphasize that we have to have the balls to

Unknown:

address it. And we have to stop thinking that we can live around

Unknown:

our problems, we have to address them once and for all and then

Unknown:

move on and start creating new drama and mistakes. No, that's

Unknown:

just a little joke. You make better decisions, once you faced

Unknown:

your, your stuff, and you moved on, trust me, the last thing you

Unknown:

want to do is to go back and make those weird decisions

Unknown:

again. So you find closure with stuff that you didn't think you

Unknown:

could find closure with. And, yeah, and learning all these

Unknown:

tools, I now thought of people who might be in the same

Unknown:

situation that I was 10 years ago, and how helpless I felt and

Unknown:

there was no anchor, there was nothing out there I could hold

Unknown:

myself on to not to become dependent on but to have some

Unknown:

kind of guidance and hope. So I want to be that person for

Unknown:

people, I want to be that person who can give you hope and

Unknown:

inspiration and those tools that make life so much easier. And

Unknown:

that is my why the pain that I suffered back then. And the well

Unknown:

being that I feel now is how I want people to feel in the

Unknown:

future, who are still suffering now. I believe that people go

Unknown:

through pain through suffering, and learn from it, to then

Unknown:

support others, and to then provide shortcuts. Yeah, because

Unknown:

that's evolution, how else can we evolve as human species, if

Unknown:

we keep those healing tools and techniques to ourselves, we have

Unknown:

to share it with others. And you pick and choose whatever is good

Unknown:

for you. Of course, I'm just going to, yeah, connect with

Unknown:

you. Like, I wish somebody had connected with me back then. And

Unknown:

I'm gonna give you everything that I thought I needed back

Unknown:

then. And in doing so, I feel I'm in service of humanity, I'm

Unknown:

able to heal my trauma further, because as I said, I'm not

Unknown:

completely healed, I'm not perfect. But we grow together.

Unknown:

And if I was to hold back, my tools, my healing abilities, I

Unknown:

would feel very selfish. And as if I had no purpose. So when the

Unknown:

alarm clock rings in the morning, this is what I have, in

Unknown:

the back of my mind. I think of a girl, I think of a guy who's

Unknown:

deeply heartbroken, who just lost everything. And I want to

Unknown:

be there and say, Hey, it is okay, where you're at. It is

Unknown:

shitty. And we can go we can walk through this together, you

Unknown:

will reach out to me whatever is good for you. And then we find

Unknown:

out what best healing methods are available for you. And,

Unknown:

yeah, that is my why, in a nutshell.

Unknown:

It is that that urgency that I feel that I want to be the glue.

Unknown:

You know, we have the therapists, we have the

Unknown:

counselors, and sometimes we feel not quite ready. Sometimes

Unknown:

we feel fear, or sometimes we think it's not necessary. And I

Unknown:

can be the one in between telling you, hey, at this point,

Unknown:

it'd be awesome to see a counselor because they have even

Unknown:

better tools to heal the past. I'm here to support you in the

Unknown:

present moment and make you really strong for the future.

Unknown:

And maybe you stick to me, or maybe you go and see a

Unknown:

psychotherapist and they can help you on deeper levels and we

Unknown:

can find somebody who's really, yeah, suiting you, but to be out

Unknown:

there and to if it's just one person. Give them the hope the

Unknown:

guidance, the inspiration that life goes on when you lose

Unknown:

everything. And you can rebuild yourself and find a better way

Unknown:

of living a stronger way to connect with yourself and your

Unknown:

environment. Thank you so much for listening to my little
