"And? How have the last 2 years been treating you ?"

Isn't this sentence the latest and greated way to connect with people ?

Yo ! It's been quite a rollercoaster and those last couple weeks have been even more overwhelming!

Not kidding but anxiety and depression, anger issues are on the rise and I can 100% feel it and try to not soak it all up mindlessly but it's hard to protect yourself without shutting down.

It would be easy to say that it's connected simply due to isolation, overwhelm and uncertainty.

Over the last two years our nervous system has been deeply disrupted no matter on which side of the fence you were standing on and now that the pandemic is over it does certainly not feel like everything goes back to normal.

People are anxious, angry, frustrated, resentful full on hurt..

Let's find out how we can all be a little more gentle on ourselves and others.

We are herd animals and can't go long distances without each other and staying resentful for too long is going to make you sick on the long haul.

This is a place where you can recharge your batteries, reconnect to yourself, 

really get to know yourself and find out what steps you can take to untangle

yourself from a situation you don’t wish to be in. I invite you to get to know yourself better in order for you to make the right choices for yourself in the future.

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:00:10

experience. I'm your host Aurora, life coach and companion

Unknown: 00:00:14

on this beautiful journey called life. I know life is not always

Unknown: 00:00:21

beautiful, life can get pretty messy and dark and

Unknown: 00:00:25

unpredictable. And all of us suffered to some degree How

Unknown: 00:00:35

would I put it into words? with uncertainty? What does the

Unknown: 00:00:44

future hold for us? What is certain? What can we believe in?

Unknown: 00:00:51

Who can we trust? It's really, really tough times. And this is

Unknown: 00:00:59

why today I want to talk about post COVID stress.

Unknown: 00:01:06

Let's all hope this, this mess is coming to an end. And that we

Unknown: 00:01:14

can start a new normal a life after the pandemic. We all come

Unknown: 00:01:27

out of this with some kind of damage.

Unknown: 00:01:32

You know, the people who got really scared because they were

Unknown: 00:01:39

scared to death, they were scared for themselves or a loved

Unknown: 00:01:43

one because of the virus. And then there's others who felt

Unknown: 00:01:49

ostracized, excluded, pushed to the side of like to the outside

Unknown: 00:01:58

of society. So whichever path you went down during those last

Unknown: 00:02:06

two years, it was stressful. It was scary. It took a lot of

Unknown: 00:02:13

energy. And we all were in some kind of Yeah, survival mode,

Unknown: 00:02:20

let's call it. So I really hope that you made it out of this,

Unknown: 00:02:28

okay? And that you're not too damaged, that you can see the

Unknown: 00:02:34

light that you can see hope. And I also hope if you don't feel

Unknown: 00:02:40

good if you struggle with anxiety, mental health, physical

Unknown: 00:02:45

illnesses, that you know that you can reach out to people that

Unknown: 00:02:50

there is professionals out there waiting to help you. And

Unknown: 00:02:55

sometimes it's easy to find people you can trust sometimes

Unknown: 00:02:59

not so much. Just know that if ever you have a question, and I

Unknown: 00:03:06

Unknown: 00:04:10

right, enough of the housekeeping. Do you feel that

Unknown: 00:04:17

tension in the air? Do you feel tends to do you feel agitated

Unknown: 00:04:23

way more easily than before the pandemic? Do you feel anxious? A

Unknown: 00:04:28

lot of people describe panic attacks as being part of their

Unknown: 00:04:35

life No. And it's really really tough to stay cool. I get it. I

Unknown: 00:04:42

mean you probably hear the fan in the background here. We got

Unknown: 00:04:46

34 degrees here in Alberta, Canada. But when you watch the

Unknown: 00:04:52

news or when you just interact with people on the street, or

Unknown: 00:04:57

with family and friends and you will probably notice that people

Unknown: 00:05:03

are struggling. And we can blame it, like part on it on feeling

Unknown: 00:05:14

isolated and disconnected more than ever. As I usually say on

Unknown: 00:05:19

my podcast, we are herd animals, we need each other, we need a

Unknown: 00:05:24

small little, but strong community around us at least.

Unknown: 00:05:30

And during the pandemic that was stripped away. And maybe you

Unknown: 00:05:35

even found out that the people that you used to call your

Unknown: 00:05:38

friends, the people that you used to trust, were not really

Unknown: 00:05:43

your friends anymore, and you can really open up to them

Unknown: 00:05:48

anymore because maybe they had different views than you and you

Unknown: 00:05:52

guys just couldn't be on the same page. It's it's due to that

Unknown: 00:06:01

isolation and the disconnection that we can also feel

Unknown: 00:06:07

aggression, boiling in our veins. I noticed that and

Unknown: 00:06:15

myself, I'm going to be quite blunt with you that, yeah, I can

Unknown: 00:06:19

get pretty angry over stuff. But after the pandemic, I can feel

Unknown: 00:06:24

my whole chemistry

Unknown: 00:06:27

changing now, when I get enraged about something, and I really

Unknown: 00:06:34

have to put lots of effort and energy into keeping my cool and

Unknown: 00:06:40

making sense of my emotions and channeling, channeling into

Unknown: 00:06:46

creative, you know, projects or go for a bike ride without being

Unknown: 00:06:51

angry, but kind of visualizing a deep release of my strong

Unknown: 00:06:58

emotions there. So maybe it is the same for you. Maybe it is

Unknown: 00:07:03

anger and irritation with other people right now that we can all

Unknown: 00:07:08

socialize again, it might take us some time to get used to

Unknown: 00:07:13

people again. And maybe we were able to dig so deeply when we

Unknown: 00:07:21

were alone during the pandemic, and, and face and being face to

Unknown: 00:07:28

face with our staff. And being face to face with the people

Unknown: 00:07:36

that we live with that we have a whole different perspective on

Unknown: 00:07:43

the world in a way that we are way more sensitive. Now. When it

Unknown: 00:07:49

comes to bullshit, we can cut through the bullshit and you

Unknown: 00:07:53

know, get to the meat, which is a great thing. But if you start

Unknown: 00:07:58

socializing again and you realize Holy shit, I'm

Unknown: 00:08:02

surrounded with bullshitters 360. Around, then it is tough to

Unknown: 00:08:10

keep your cool. It is really tough to stay centered. So

Unknown: 00:08:17

today, I want to invite you to sit with those emotions, as I

Unknown: 00:08:24

learned to do it, and I'm still learning to do it. And to

Unknown: 00:08:30

visualize that energy that comes up, and to really ask yourself,

Unknown: 00:08:35

whenever stuff comes up, hey isn't really worth looking at?

Unknown: 00:08:41

Or am I being triggered? And I react to a situation. And I'm

Unknown: 00:08:49

overly emotional about it. So to simply ask yourself, Hey, is it

Unknown: 00:08:56

valid to react here? Or is it just my little ego that feels

Unknown: 00:09:01

triggered? And actually, I shouldn't give it too much

Unknown: 00:09:04

importance because, honestly, if you feel triggered by the small

Unknown: 00:09:09

stuff in life, you will be annoyed fairly quickly by

Unknown: 00:09:13

anybody and everybody, and so many things that you can really

Unknown: 00:09:19

enjoy life on a deeper level anymore. So stay connected with

Unknown: 00:09:27

the people don't withdraw, but express how they make you feel.

Unknown: 00:09:35

And it will take time to master this practice. And as I say

Unknown: 00:09:41

right now, I'm learning it as I speak to instead of reacting

Unknown: 00:09:48

fighting back, avoiding shutting down. I tell the person who's

Unknown: 00:09:55

irritating me. Hey, you make me feel very uncomfortable. Right

Unknown: 00:10:00

now, hey, I feel attacked. Hey, I feel you don't understand me,

Unknown: 00:10:08

hey, I feel we are on a different page. And by saying

Unknown: 00:10:13

this, do you not only value how you feel, and stand up for

Unknown: 00:10:19

yourself, but you also open up a door for the other person to

Unknown: 00:10:24

connect with you one way, deeper and honest level. And this is

Unknown: 00:10:31

how you can connect with people, and learn to trust people again,

Unknown: 00:10:38

in showing up authentically, and expressing how you feel, being

Unknown: 00:10:46

assertive, and emotionally intelligent enough to know that

Unknown: 00:10:53

the person who wants to connect with you but stepped on your

Unknown: 00:10:57

toes wants to know that information about you, because

Unknown: 00:11:03

they want to understand you deep down a person who wants to stay

Unknown: 00:11:06

connected with you. They want to know who you are. Always. So

Unknown: 00:11:12

instead of overreacting and falling back into old patterns,

Unknown: 00:11:19

like I said earlier, avoiding raging, you know becoming

Unknown: 00:11:27

insulting. Swear wording swearing, I mean, of course, you

Unknown: 00:11:35

can learn this new skill and make the time and before

Unknown: 00:11:43

reacting. Find a word how you feel. And then say it out loud.

Unknown: 00:11:51

It works wonders. It takes time. But it works wonders because as

Unknown: 00:11:58

soon as you're able to put it into words, the energy that was

Unknown: 00:12:04

built up the tension that was built up in your body drops

Unknown: 00:12:09

drastically. And you can be calm and you can stand your ground.

Unknown: 00:12:17

And that is so incredibly empowering. And well sometimes

Unknown: 00:12:25

even surprise the people in standing in front of you. Same

Unknown: 00:12:30

goes with anxiety. If you've been very anxious lately, you

Unknown: 00:12:36

know in social settings, or if you are by yourself because your

Unknown: 00:12:39

nervous system is paranoid, of being alone after the pandemic.

Unknown: 00:12:45

Ask your anxiety what its purpose is and know. You're not

Unknown: 00:12:52

sure it's a phrenic if you address that part inside of you,

Unknown: 00:13:00

you don't have to speak out loud. But I want you to start

Unknown: 00:13:04

being curious about your anxiety because your anxiety has a

Unknown: 00:13:08

purpose it is there. For some reason, you can run away from

Unknown: 00:13:13

it. You can sleep it away, you can drink it away, you can sex

Unknown: 00:13:19

it away. It is there and it's going to come back if you don't

Unknown: 00:13:23

address it. So why not being curious about your anxiety? And

Unknown: 00:13:31

to really dig deep there. Hey, why do I feel nervous all of a

Unknown: 00:13:37

sudden? Why is my body tensing up other people that I'm

Unknown: 00:13:41

socializing with? Not good for me and my purpose and my energy

Unknown: 00:13:48

and my whole being? Or am I scared to feel judged to I feel

Unknown: 00:13:55

shame it is really interesting to to go deep and to ask what

Unknown: 00:14:08

it's all about. The way you feel the way you behave. Become a

Unknown: 00:14:16

little detective and allow these gaps before reacting and how we

Unknown: 00:14:26

like to say it and the coaching community do not react, respond.

Unknown: 00:14:36

Alright, I think I want to leave you with that. Thank you so much

Unknown: 00:14:42

for being patient with me. I'm trying out a new thing I will

Unknown: 00:14:49

show up as often as I can for you hear through my podcast. But

Unknown: 00:14:55

I will not stick to a rigid LAN of posting my episodes anymore

Unknown: 00:15:03

because it wasn't serving me that well in the last couple of

Unknown: 00:15:06

weeks. On days that I don't feel well, I don't feel inspired. I'd

Unknown: 00:15:13

rather take care of myself than forcing out a podcast episode

Unknown: 00:15:18

and then you would feel and hear that's inauthentic anyways. So I

Unknown: 00:15:24

will show up for you. Rest assured, and I will show up for

Unknown: 00:15:29

you in my most authentic and real way. But I will not show up

Unknown: 00:15:34

for you no matter what. So, thank you for trusting me, thank

Unknown: 00:15:39

you for being here. I deeply appreciate you. I deeply respect

Unknown: 00:15:46

you because if you listen to my podcast, I know you have a

Unknown: 00:15:51

growth mindset. You want to get out of your comfort zone and get

Unknown: 00:15:57

something done in life. You want to let go of stuff that doesn't

Unknown: 00:16:02

serve you anymore, and those are the most amazing people to have

Unknown: 00:16:07

around. So yeah, I really, really love to connect with you

Unknown: 00:16:16

and love spending time like this with you. take really good care

Unknown: 00:16:20

of yourself and I will be out there very soon again. Bye bye
