Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, and welcome to the Borealis experience.

Unknown:

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

Unknown:

today. I hope you're doing well.

Unknown:

I hope life is light and easy flowing.

Unknown:

If it is difficult, complicated, harsh.

Unknown:

Really bad.

Unknown:

At the moment,

Unknown:

I hope I can give you energy. I hope I can give you hope. I hope

Unknown:

I can give you tools to help you get to know yourself better to

Unknown:

recharge your batteries.

Unknown:

The better you know yourself, the better decisions you're

Unknown:

going to make. The stronger, healthier boundaries, you're

Unknown:

going to set.

Unknown:

It's really important. It's something that I'm still

Unknown:

learning, still learning to say? No. When in the past I said yes.

Unknown:

To please or appease somebody.

Unknown:

Sometimes a no is way healthier for you than a yes, was

Unknown:

compromises. There's no doubt about it right?

Unknown:

Today's episode, I will label say yes to yourself, and no to

Unknown:

compromises.

Unknown:

And season one and two and even three, I think I talk a lot

Unknown:

about

Unknown:

self care and how you can better take care of yourself and the

Unknown:

importance of alone time.

Unknown:

And in season five here, I want to

Unknown:

emphasize the importance of alone time. One more time.

Unknown:

It is so critical that you spend time with yourself.

Unknown:

And that you know that spending alone time spending time with

Unknown:

yourself doesn't mean

Unknown:

to watch TV on your own or to go to the bar and drink by yourself

Unknown:

or to binge eat.

Unknown:

alone time. For me what I'm learning right now with a coach

Unknown:

can be a time where you process

Unknown:

where you process feelings and thoughts where you brainstorm.

Unknown:

alone time can also mean being present fully present with what

Unknown:

is.

Unknown:

And if you can imagine going for walks I really encourage you to

Unknown:

going for walks, little walks every day, just a couple

Unknown:

minutes, just 15 minutes to start out. And to be fully

Unknown:

present with your environment.

Unknown:

You can set an intention for every walk. But presence is

Unknown:

something really magical. You don't have your phone yet don't

Unknown:

have a podcast running in the background, not even mine. It is

Unknown:

just you walking around the neighborhood. Of course not

Unknown:

putting yourself in any danger

Unknown:

and being present with what happens around you.

Unknown:

All too often, we rushed from A to B and tried to do 20,000

Unknown:

things at a time

Unknown:

where we could actually relax and reconnect to ourselves.

Unknown:

I find it also helps with feeling less lonely feeling more

Unknown:

connected.

Unknown:

The more connected you feel to yourself.

Unknown:

The more connected you feel to your surroundings. And that's

Unknown:

really fascinating to observe. The better you feel with

Unknown:

yourself.

Unknown:

The better you will feel with people the more accepting you

Unknown:

are with yourself. The more accepting you're going to be

Unknown:

with other people, you know, people who are very judgmental

Unknown:

perfectionist.

Unknown:

They usually very very harsh on themselves.

Unknown:

And on others, they accept the same from others that they

Unknown:

accept from themselves.

Unknown:

And the standard is usually way too high, and not easy to

Unknown:

maintain for others outside of your bubble.

Unknown:

So these walks that I encourage you to do several times a week

Unknown:

can really help you to reconnect to yourself to reconnect with

Unknown:

your environment, and to be there in the moment. And if you

Unknown:

have your mind, your monkey mind, your beautiful little

Unknown:

monkey mind that always wants to be busy creeping up on you, and

Unknown:

coming up with to do lists, brainstorming, processing of

Unknown:

arguments of conversations that might happen in the future

Unknown:

of conversations that happened in the past,

Unknown:

then you can just learn to turn the volume down, and to let it

Unknown:

sit in a corner for a little bit. And then tune back into

Unknown:

your breath, and to what is happening around you. Maybe

Unknown:

there's people walking around,

Unknown:

very busily, maybe there's children playing, maybe there's

Unknown:

cars driving by or bicycles. Maybe you walk in the park or in

Unknown:

the forest, and you notice trees and plants and animals.

Unknown:

And it's funny because while I describe this silent walk or

Unknown:

quality, alone time walk to you.

Unknown:

I feel very relaxed already.

Unknown:

Maybe you observed somebody

Unknown:

in the past who in a waiting line was not looking down on his

Unknown:

or her phone, who was just looking at you and smiling and

Unknown:

saying hello, who was engaging in a conversation with the

Unknown:

cashier, or with the person sitting next to him or her on

Unknown:

the bus.

Unknown:

I feel

Unknown:

we use our phones, for very important things. Don't get me

Unknown:

wrong. I love my phone. I love the internet. I love Facebook,

Unknown:

everything about it.

Unknown:

But there comes a point where we forget to interact and connect

Unknown:

with our direct environment.

Unknown:

And sometimes people start nagging and being upset with you

Unknown:

because they don't know how else to make you stop and connect

Unknown:

with them. Sometimes, an accident happens or you trip or

Unknown:

you hurt yourself because you are not fully present. Sometimes

Unknown:

we lose things like wallets or keys or lipsticks or bubble

Unknown:

gums. Because when we put them away the last time we were not

Unknown:

aware we were not mindful, we were not consciously putting it

Unknown:

away. We just put it somewhere. But it had something else in

Unknown:

mind.

Unknown:

So when you go on these walks, without your phone without any

Unknown:

music,

Unknown:

and really connect to your environment.

Unknown:

It might make you feel very grounded and very good about

Unknown:

yourself.

Unknown:

It might also bring up stuff that you have been running away

Unknown:

from in a long time and this is why you avoid spending a long

Unknown:

time

Unknown:

without distractions.

Unknown:

But this is very important.

Unknown:

It is very important to notice and to observe and to feel and

Unknown:

then to go deeper and to resolve at a later stage.

Unknown:

But to see

Unknown:

in observing your thoughts and your feelings, how you really

Unknown:

are doing

Unknown:

without compensation without distraction.

Unknown:

It is critical.

Unknown:

All too often we run around and

Unknown:

you know we're not feeling 100% Awesome. We call a friend we

Unknown:

call our parents and we unload our stuff and they can help us

Unknown:

to some degree.

Unknown:

And then we go back to our place and same old stuff again.

Unknown:

Sometimes they might not even be available and then you blame it

Unknown:

on them why you're not feeling better.

Unknown:

This little practice here that I'm sharing you with you today

Unknown:

is going to help you to be more self fulfilling

Unknown:

isn't sufficient sorry.

Unknown:

Of course you call a friend when you're not feeling good, of

Unknown:

course you call your parents or guardians or whoever you'd like

Unknown:

to talk to when you're not feeling well.

Unknown:

But I want to give you these tools for you

Unknown:

to know that you can also help yourself.

Unknown:

You can only be there for you so much.

Unknown:

When you have a very distracted life and compensation,

Unknown:

allow some time to yourself, allow some time of no

Unknown:

distraction.

Unknown:

And you will see that you will maybe even sleep better, make

Unknown:

better food choices.

Unknown:

Be more content in life, in general, more confident.

Unknown:

It is really important to take time to yourself, in between

Unknown:

meeting friends and between work and meeting up with your

Unknown:

partner.

Unknown:

And your partner will feel inspired. And maybe also start a

Unknown:

self

Unknown:

empowering journey. And it can improve relationships so

Unknown:

drastically. The better you feel about yourself, the more content

Unknown:

you're with yourself, the

Unknown:

better partner you can be.
