Transcripts

Unknown:

Hello, and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm

Unknown:

your host Aurora, and I'm very excited to have you on board

Unknown:

here. With this second episode of this podcast, I posted an

Unknown:

intro where I introduced myself and gave you a little bit of a

Unknown:

rundown of what this podcast is about. In the first episode, I

Unknown:

was talking about self improvement, and what it means

Unknown:

to self improve if you're ready to self improve. And the most

Unknown:

important thing about the self improvement and growth journey

Unknown:

as said, as soon as you realize that you were in charge of your

Unknown:

life of your happiness all along. It was not your little

Unknown:

brother, it was not your daddy, it was not the school boy 10

Unknown:

years ago. It's a harsh reality to set in. And then it's really

Unknown:

important to not self isolate, and to not punish yourself and

Unknown:

feel bad about itself. Because most people don't ever wake up.

Unknown:

And the people who wake up and have the courage to change the

Unknown:

direction of their life and success and happiness should not

Unknown:

feel poor about themselves. Yeah, so that was the first

Unknown:

episode. And today in the second episode, I want to talk to you

Unknown:

about self care. And what I mean when I say, focus on yourself,

Unknown:

you are so worth it. That's my little slogan here. Yeah, be

Unknown:

kind to yourself, how does that look like in your daily life?

Unknown:

And why is it important because I feel it is the hardest to take

Unknown:

good care of ourselves. I still don't know why it is so hard to

Unknown:

change habits and to just be at peace. But maybe we'll find it

Unknown:

out together. Once again, please send me comments, questions,

Unknown:

share or like my podcast. The more feedback I get, the more I

Unknown:

can focus on your specific case, and maybe help you out there. So

Unknown:

let's dive in. Do you have habits you want to get rid of?

Unknown:

And are these habits reflecting how kind you are with yourself?

Unknown:

I think they do. I think when you look at people that are

Unknown:

successful and good looking healthy, beautiful. What I

Unknown:

realized when I observed people is that they are in tune with

Unknown:

themselves. They are authentic, they are integrated, like very

Unknown:

secure about decision making. So that's one big clue that you

Unknown:

will probably find out right away about yourself is how

Unknown:

secure Are you with decision making? How good do you feel

Unknown:

about yourself and your surrounding? And then let's go

Unknown:

deeper and see what are you made of? So who are you? Are you your

Unknown:

body? Are you your mind? So your thoughts? Are you your emotions?

Unknown:

Or are you spiritual? Are you religious? Are you your spirit,

Unknown:

your religion?

Unknown:

Is it your job that defines you? Is it your house, your car, your

Unknown:

boat? Things you own that define you? Or did you have a set role

Unknown:

in your community, your family and this is what defines you. So

Unknown:

take a moment here and think about yourself. Look at

Unknown:

yourself. You don't have to look in the mirror. But just see and

Unknown:

feel what you made off And I think if you can say that you

Unknown:

take care of all of the above your body, your mind, your

Unknown:

emotions, your spirit, your job, your position in society, then

Unknown:

you're being kind to yourself. It is very hard though, and I

Unknown:

don't know a single person me included, being successful does.

Unknown:

But that's not a problem at all. So let's start with the body.

Unknown:

How does self care for your body look like? For me, it's not so

Unknown:

much about polishing your nails shaving your legs. It is more

Unknown:

about do you breathe deeply? Now, when you tune into your

Unknown:

breath right now? Do you exhale fully? Do you breathe in?

Unknown:

shallow Lee? Is your breathing shallow? Or is it really deep

Unknown:

into your belly? So if you notice your breath, it gives you

Unknown:

a big clue of how you feel in this moment. How much water do

Unknown:

you drink a day? is water. something super annoying, or

Unknown:

like to drink? Or is it something that you can actually

Unknown:

enjoy and really be grateful for? Chances are if you listen

Unknown:

to this podcast, you live in a first world country and you have

Unknown:

water around you all day long as much as you want. You never have

Unknown:

to worry about having a shower or washing your clothing and

Unknown:

washing your hands. So how much for granted you take water, then

Unknown:

you food and take food as a huge topic. I will be talking a lot

Unknown:

about food and nutrition in upcoming episodes. But now if

Unknown:

you think about what you ate today, is it nourishing as a

Unknown:

Heidi process doesn't make you feel good? Would you cram in

Unknown:

your cram hole? Then clothing? Are you wearing comfortable

Unknown:

clothing or as add clothing that is there to help impress other

Unknown:

people? Do you feel good about your clothing or not so much?

Unknown:

And then movement? How much do you move a day? Few move

Unknown:

smoothly?

Unknown:

Or?

Unknown:

Do you don't even care about how you move? Are you clumsy? Do you

Unknown:

exercise too much? Or do you exercise moderately? Do you

Unknown:

really listen to your body's need? Or do you just follow once

Unknown:

your monkey mind the beautiful little monkey mind your ego is

Unknown:

telling you to do? Do you sleep enough? Is it an interrupted

Unknown:

sleep? Or do you have to get up often do you have problems

Unknown:

falling asleep. So those are all points that can give you a clue

Unknown:

of how good you treat yourself on a physical level. Your body

Unknown:

will always try to keep you in balance. But if you don't

Unknown:

provide him what he or she needs, then it will get sick it

Unknown:

will get sore It will literally make your life painful and

Unknown:

uneasy. So the body is always like for me as a physiotherapist

Unknown:

and yoga teacher. The first level of well being that I like

Unknown:

to approach because it's also the easiest to change. You can

Unknown:

change your breath. With training, you can change your

Unknown:

water intake, you can change your food intake, you can move

Unknown:

more you can do everything to sleep better. So it is really

Unknown:

the easiest way to approach your well being. I will go as I said

Unknown:

earlier, more into depth in following episodes, but this is

Unknown:

what I look at, when I take my first assessment of my clients.

Unknown:

And this is what I would like you to have as a tool to see how

Unknown:

healthy how good you are with your body. Then we have as a

Unknown:

mind, how does your mind function? When does your mind

Unknown:

feel irritated? meditation has been my biggest red flag,

Unknown:

actually meditation and yoga has been my biggest red flag for

Unknown:

many, many years. It was something that I kept at

Unknown:

distance as much as possible. And a year ago, I came around

Unknown:

and tried it out and realized it is super hard like for

Unknown:

everybody, and everybody finds different ways to meditate. And

Unknown:

that made it easier for me to start out meditating, because

Unknown:

before that everybody who was meditating just looked so

Unknown:

perfect. And every time I tried it, I just felt like ridiculous.

Unknown:

So your mind, does it play your tricks? Is? Do you really

Unknown:

identify with your thoughts? When something upsets you? Do

Unknown:

you feed into the thoughts that really get get you revved up?

Unknown:

The mind is really the most interesting part of the health

Unknown:

and wellness industry and self improvement and growth industry

Unknown:

because I think everything goes through the mind

Unknown:

is that it is there.

Unknown:

Where we control what we do and how we behave. And with lots of

Unknown:

training, we can unlearn things and behave differently react

Unknown:

differently, yeah, respond to a situation in a calm and good

Unknown:

manner. instead of reacting and jumping into feeling triggered

Unknown:

and feeling old wounds. ripping open again. The mind is really

Unknown:

the most beautiful and powerful tool that we have. And when we

Unknown:

learn to kind of put it in a backseat. Yeah, when we learn to

Unknown:

live from the heart from real, genuine, self nourishing

Unknown:

intentions, intentions that also benefit others, then the mind is

Unknown:

an incredible friend. But for most of us, there's people out

Unknown:

there who struggle with insomnia, with eating disorders

Unknown:

with anger, anger, problems with depression with physical

Unknown:

problems, and, and I feel all starts with the mind. The

Unknown:

physical ailments and emotional pain. All goes back to the mind

Unknown:

if the mind is cluttered, if the mind is unbalanced, unhealthy,

Unknown:

then our whole being and even our surroundings are suffering.

Unknown:

So through meditation, I want to give you a couple tools that you

Unknown:

can have on hand that you will have everywhere you go and

Unknown:

through following episodes here. I want to make you aware of

Unknown:

where you could still grow and then give you guidance on how

Unknown:

you can be better with yourself and feel better. When you go out

Unknown:

there in the world into the world. You got to excuse my

Unknown:

English at times. It's as you know, not my native language.

Unknown:

But I feel I shouldn't interrupt every time I make a mistake. I'm

Unknown:

just going to let it go. And we'll get better with time. This

Unknown:

was the second episode of the Borealis experience. I'm so

Unknown:

grateful you tuned in today, and next time we will talk more

Unknown:

about your role in society, your role as a family member, or your

Unknown:

role in the community. You live in your job, your emotions, and

Unknown:

your spirit. I'm very excited to be posting a new episode very

Unknown:
