hello there,

I hope you are doing okay during those crazy times

today I want to talk about your inner child

All too often we get caught up in being an adult

All too often we get annoyed about things that really should not even get our attention

All too often we forget how it feels to be genuinely present, mesmerized, excited

Do you remember how it feels to experience something for the first time and to be so engaged and excited to get better at it ?

Do you remember how it felt to ask for help and then to be taken seriously ?

DO you remember how you once took your needs, especially your physical needs, very seriously ?

where did you become too ridgid over the years ?

what is it you want to experience in the near future ?

A child like, genuine approach to your goals can easily get you to where you want to end up

All this hustle and pain and suffering is not necessary to reach a state of balance and contentment .

give this episode a listen :)

with love and respect

A.

Hello

Unknown: 00:00:15

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

Unknown: 00:00:18

Aurora, life coach and companion on this beautiful journey called

Unknown: 00:00:24

life. I know life is not always beautiful and easy and fluffy

Unknown: 00:00:31

and rainbow, and unicorns, it can get pretty rough at times.

Unknown: 00:00:39

And that is the time when we need to reach out, we need to

Unknown: 00:00:44

ask for help, we need to open up and admit to where we're

Unknown: 00:00:49

standing at. If you want to learn more about being raw and

Unknown: 00:00:54

honest with yourself, go back to my latest episode called Can you

Unknown: 00:01:00

admit to where you're standing at. With a coach you will also

Unknown: 00:01:07

explore your strength you will be reminded of who you are and

Unknown: 00:01:13

what you're made of. And that is usually a very, very strong tool

Unknown: 00:01:19

to push you through challenging times. And to get you to a place

Unknown: 00:01:28

of contentment and even success. With a coach you can also

Unknown: 00:01:34

explore what your weaknesses are, and not to put you in a box

Unknown: 00:01:39

and to keep you and victim mentality. But to become aware

Unknown: 00:01:45

of the beliefs and things let's call them that hold you back in

Unknown: 00:01:51

life. Sometimes it's hard to see them yourself. And when you get

Unknown: 00:01:57

them gently pointed out by a neutral person. So to say, it is

Unknown: 00:02:03

easier to make changes that are sustainable, that are gonna

Unknown: 00:02:11

affect your life in a very positive way. Let's dive into

Unknown: 00:02:16

today's episode, I want to talk about child like behavior that

Unknown: 00:02:22

we want to embrace. Again, it is so important to not forget how

Unknown: 00:02:31

important playfulness is. And today I don't want to talk about

Unknown: 00:02:36

playfulness only. I want to talk about things that we can learn

Unknown: 00:02:40

from children. And you don't necessarily have to be around

Unknown: 00:02:45

children. You don't necessarily necessarily have to like

Unknown: 00:02:49

children. When we talk about being childlike, again, it is

Unknown: 00:02:54

just necessary to remember how it was to be a child and to

Unknown: 00:03:02

today, as an adult, give yourself what you didn't receive

Unknown: 00:03:09

back then as a child. As a child, we are way more present

Unknown: 00:03:16

with what's going on right now. Yes, we maybe remember a couple

Unknown: 00:03:22

of painful experiences, but our life has not been long enough.

Unknown: 00:03:29

And our brain has been more focused about what's going on

Unknown: 00:03:33

and trying to learn new things adapting and growing. And I find

Unknown: 00:03:40

that very inspiring. You know, especially when the going gets

Unknown: 00:03:45

tough. It is important to focus on the present and to find out

Unknown: 00:03:51

what makes us feel okay, what makes us feel good. What gives

Unknown: 00:03:57

us strength, what makes us feel important, and seen and hurt. As

Unknown: 00:04:05

a child you want to experience you want to grow you want to

Unknown: 00:04:10

express yourself and I know for many adults, not only parents,

Unknown: 00:04:15

but adults surrounded by children. It can get really

Unknown: 00:04:19

tough at times when the child is expressing his or her needs.

Unknown: 00:04:25

Because it comes out so randomly, you know you go for a

Unknown: 00:04:30

walk and all of a sudden the child has to go to the bathroom.

Unknown: 00:04:34

Or you go to the cinema to the movie theater. And all of a

Unknown: 00:04:40

sudden the child expresses that he is hungry as an adult. We

Unknown: 00:04:48

have learned that we have control over our physical needs

Unknown: 00:04:54

and we know our body enough we know that yes if we are hungry

Unknown: 00:04:59

Now we will be able to wait an hour or two and will not die

Unknown: 00:05:03

from this. But as a child, you express your needs right away.

Unknown: 00:05:09

When it comes to pain when it comes to discomfort, and tired,

Unknown: 00:05:14

it's very hard to force to be sitting for several hours a day.

Unknown: 00:05:19

I know we all do this to children at school. But you see

Unknown: 00:05:24

the wild children out there that are just not made to be sitting.

Unknown: 00:05:33

And that's perfectly fine because it's uncomfortable. So

Unknown: 00:05:37

where as an adult Have we started to compromise a little

Unknown: 00:05:42

bit too much to a point that we are abusing ourselves in order

Unknown: 00:05:49

to wanting to fit in. Because as a child, we learn Okay, now

Unknown: 00:05:55

we're not supposed to ask questions. Okay, now we're

Unknown: 00:05:57

supposed to be quiet on now we're not supposed to be thirsty

Unknown: 00:06:01

or hungry. Now we're supposed to be sleeping. Now we're supposed

Unknown: 00:06:04

to be awake, we learn to fit into society. But we also

Unknown: 00:06:13

unlearn who we are at the same time. And I find it very, very

Unknown: 00:06:19

interesting as an adult, to see. Where are you cutting yourself?

Unknown: 00:06:26

Short? Where are you being too rigid with yourself? Where do

Unknown: 00:06:32

you not allow yourself to be authentic and real? Where do you

Unknown: 00:06:38

hold back? Where do you suppress. As a child, you're

Unknown: 00:06:44

constantly learning new stuff. And you're fascinated by the

Unknown: 00:06:50

weirdest, smallest things. And now, don't get me wrong, it's

Unknown: 00:06:55

not about being silly and finding everything exciting

Unknown: 00:06:59

again. But can we bring a little more joy and curiosity and

Unknown: 00:07:05

excitement back into our lives. For instance, next time you bite

Unknown: 00:07:12

into a peach, I don't know the next time you're going to have a

Unknown: 00:07:16

peach in your hand. And maybe you don't like peaches, but

Unknown: 00:07:19

something really yummy and juicy. bite into it as if it was

Unknown: 00:07:24

the first time buy into it, thinking of all the people who

Unknown: 00:07:31

made it possible for you to have the speech in your head now.

Unknown: 00:07:37

Learn new hobbies, learn to exercise in a different way,

Unknown: 00:07:43

explore your body, learn to see where you're holding back where

Unknown: 00:07:52

your inner dialogue is similar to man, I really would like to

Unknown: 00:08:00

experience this again. But I am too old. But I'm not made for

Unknown: 00:08:07

this. But I don't have enough money. But my body is not going

Unknown: 00:08:13

to be like I'm not going to be able to enjoy this. What are the

Unknown: 00:08:19

beliefs that are holding you back when there's something that

Unknown: 00:08:23

you're actually really excited to experience? Of course,

Unknown: 00:08:29

there's lots of differences between children, you know,

Unknown: 00:08:35

there's children that are very shy and scared easily and not

Unknown: 00:08:40

really adventurous. And there's children that are totally, you

Unknown: 00:08:44

know, they do first and then think. But we can learn from

Unknown: 00:08:49

both. I feel both are inherently authentic. They feel okay with

Unknown: 00:08:55

who they are, until the adults come around. Most of the time,

Unknown: 00:09:00

of course, not all parents but most of the time and try to

Unknown: 00:09:05

change them because they feel they're going to help them to

Unknown: 00:09:08

fit in better. When did you stop having fun? When did you stop

Unknown: 00:09:21

having fun? Was it a comment from a neighbor from a parent

Unknown: 00:09:26

from a sibling that made you stop dreaming? Is it conclusions

Unknown: 00:09:32

that you made about yourself after your first huge

Unknown: 00:09:37

heartbreak? What are the things that you are inherently curious

Unknown: 00:09:44

about but you're too shy to explore? And this can really be

Unknown: 00:09:51

everything. Another thing I'd like to address today is that

Unknown: 00:09:58

sometimes

Unknown: 00:10:01

We rejected a dream. Because at that time, we were surrounded by

Unknown: 00:10:09

people who were not in alignment with that dream, or people who

Unknown: 00:10:14

were living this dream already. And we thought, we don't have it

Unknown: 00:10:19

in us to do the same, we don't have the same resources. So we

Unknown: 00:10:25

don't deserve to have the same amount of joy, pleasure and fun,

Unknown: 00:10:30

like the person we are observing. It is really

Unknown: 00:10:34

important to see, who are you surrounding yourself with? And

Unknown: 00:10:39

are these people making it impossible for you to be playful

Unknown: 00:10:43

to expand and to grow? Or are you playing small with the

Unknown: 00:10:49

people you surround yourself is that people that are in your

Unknown: 00:10:54

life, because you want to take care of them, and you don't want

Unknown: 00:10:57

to make them feel bad. And all of a sudden, being a different

Unknown: 00:11:04

person, being yourself again, you know, sometimes we lose the

Unknown: 00:11:08

people that we surround ourselves in, in becoming

Unknown: 00:11:11

ourselves. And it is a natural process. It's a necessary evil.

Unknown: 00:11:17

But sometimes we stay stuck in a situation. Because we are scared

Unknown: 00:11:24

to lose the people. We don't want to be alone, we want to be

Unknown: 00:11:26

long. But then again, you're cheating. You too, cheating

Unknown: 00:11:32

yourself into a situation that is not good. You're not being

Unknown: 00:11:37

honest with yourself, you're trying to fit in, at all cost,

Unknown: 00:11:42

you're trying to stay in your little comfort zone at all cost.

Unknown: 00:11:46

But it is going to cost you at some point, be it physical

Unknown: 00:11:50

illness, be it mental illness. You know, depression doesn't

Unknown: 00:11:55

come from nowhere. It comes from suppressing, it comes from not

Unknown: 00:12:00

being able to express yourself anymore. This is what makes us

Unknown: 00:12:05

feel numb. It is not the cause. In everybody who's fighting

Unknown: 00:12:12

depression. I'm very aware of that. But most of the people I

Unknown: 00:12:17

talk to I get to know, on a deeper level that are fighting

Unknown: 00:12:20

depression, have learned to suppress their voice, their

Unknown: 00:12:26

soul. And that started to make them seriously sick. So I invite

Unknown: 00:12:34

you to explore your childlike behavior. And again, I don't

Unknown: 00:12:43

mean by that, that tonight at the dinner table you throw

Unknown: 00:12:46

around with your spaghetti sauce. I mean, be curious. See,

Unknown: 00:12:54

wherever you can find joy. And what I've noticed in myself over

Unknown: 00:13:00

the last couple of weeks is the world is crumbling, the world is

Unknown: 00:13:05

in a deep suffering, state and chaos. Can I allow myself to be

Unknown: 00:13:12

happy and content and joyful? No, I need to be sad, I need to

Unknown: 00:13:17

be suffering as well. And that is wrong. Yes, I can be sad, I

Unknown: 00:13:23

can feel the suffering from others, I can feel my own

Unknown: 00:13:28

suffering. But if I'm ready, again, to be joyful to be my

Unknown: 00:13:33

powerful self, then it is my duty to live up to that and to

Unknown: 00:13:40

express it and to show it in order to inspire the people

Unknown: 00:13:45

around me in order to give people hope, in order to remind

Unknown: 00:13:52

people that, hey, if we are to all disappear from this world,

Unknown: 00:14:00

on one day or another, why should we not be doing something

Unknown: 00:14:06

meaningful? We shouldn't be sitting there and fear and

Unknown: 00:14:10

sadness, I think we should start and go do something meaningful,

Unknown: 00:14:17

be it for ourselves or for somebody else. Live your

Unknown: 00:14:22

authentic truth to the best of your ability and you will know

Unknown: 00:14:28

who you are and you will make the decisions that are best for

Unknown: 00:14:32

you. And those decisions are going to have a huge positive

Unknown: 00:14:39

impact on your community, on society, on humanity as a whole.
