Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

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

spending some time with you today. Today I want to talk

about emotional exhaustion, feeling drained, not knowing

where to get energy from, I feel a lot of people go through that

in the last couple months in the year last year.

And

it's very bizarre because you would think that we're working

less, maybe we got laid off, we sit at home, we can do with our

time, whatever we want. Of course, we can go outside, we

watch TV, we are on our phones, we can talk with friends on the

phone. Yet, there comes a point where it is very tough on us to

feel powerless. And to see other people struggle. I feel that

there's a lot of people out there who are in a good

situation. But to watch the news, and to hear how poorly

other people are doing is affecting all of us. It's really

a weird day for me to where I feel inspired. I want to be out

there. But my energy is very low. And maybe you can relate. I

guess if you clicked on this episode, you can relate. So what

do we do on those days where everything is too much? Where

every person who was asking us for a favor is just a plain

nuisance? Do you know these moments where your phone rings

and you know, it's a person who might ask for advice or for

help, and you just think oh my god for Fox eggs, can I please,

please be left alone for a moment and just not interact

with anything or anybody. I also see how social media can drain

us, and the biggest fan of Instagram and Facebook. But our

brain is constantly bombarded with information. And it is a

very natural thing to compare yourself to others and to feel a

certain way about others. When you see what they post.

comparing yourself to others can be very draining when you have

that judgmental, opinionated, mindset even more when you're

very competitive, even more, and to listen to the news is also

very draining. Like constantly, we're being faced with panic and

struggles and people suffering. And, to a certain point, it can

really numb us out where when we switch off the TV or put away a

phone and go out into the real world that we can be there for

the other. We feel so drained already, that we can show no

compassion, we can show no empathy. And if someone wants

something from us, it's just pure irritation. Maybe I'm the

only person on this planet who feels that way at times. And

then this is really the most ridiculous episode I ever

posted. But I had to talk about it because I feel like this. And

if you've Yeah, just in the slightest can relate to that

know that you're not alone in this. And you're not an asshole

and you're not a bad person. It just means that you were

mishandling your energy reserves that you got drained along the

way. And now you find yourself without energy, all you want to

do is sit on a couch, eat chips, maybe drink, maybe smoke

consume. Just something that helps you numb even more out.

And except taking a shower or a bath, which helps me a lot. I

like to just sit there and enjoy the sunshine, if there is some

sunshine on that day, or to just lay on the floor, and put my

hand on my heart, the other hand on my belly and just breathe.

And just know that the day after I will feel better. And maybe

even after getting up from this many meditation, I can feel

better and a little more energized already. Sometimes

it's good to take a break from everything from all at once.

Don't answer the phone. Don't be on your phone, for scrolling or

researching. Don't brainstorm, just be in the moment and maybe

look out the window and see the trees. Or just close your eyes.

And focus on a soft gaze and relaxed muscles around your

eyes. And really tune in to your breath. And know that everything

that your body does for you is towards life and balance and

health and goodness. And you have to trust that life force,

that magical life force that you don't have to do anything, it

will guide you back to your core, if you just allow it.

Don't try to fight it. Don't try to distract from it. Don't

resist it. And just be there with yourself for a moment. He

can maybe listen to soft music, something that you know, Sue

this uso and makes you feel good. Or just pure silence can

be really good too. If you have children, I really beg you that

you take these couple minutes a day, even though you feel good,

especially on the days that you feel good. When you learn to

switch off everything around you for a moment, then on the days

where it seems very hard and where we don't know how to help

ourselves. We know where to come back to. And now I have a little

three months old puppy sitting in front of the door and

scratching and wanting to come in but I'm not going to open the

door today. I'm going to stay here with you for a couple more

minutes. And just enjoy the peace. And I will see soon How

many people clicked on that episode. So I'll see how many

people can relate to it will make me feel better about my

state of absolute non compassion. close to being

reckless and selfish. Take a deep breath in and a big exhale.

And a lot of the times

it's the people who care the most about other people's

feelings and well being that reached that burnout point where

they have to completely shut out everybody because they reach a

point where it's just too much. So chances are if you feel that

way at times, you are a very sensitive intuitive person

fields. Other people's energy and fields drained when other

people suffer on not doing well. So don't beat yourself up. Just

know that you need some alone time

and everything will float back to normal. Maybe to a more

stable, good, normal, resilient, normal. Again, relax the muscles

around your eyes. Take a deep breath in and exhale. staying

engaged with people you live with. And always being

considerate, as

exhausting, when we don't take care of our own well being

first. So may you go out there today and feel good about

yourself a little bit about yourself. Just 10% maybe you're

not alone in this. You're not a bad person. You just needed a

little bit of rest. Thank you so much for being here with me

today. It was maybe a tough day for you to know that you're not

alone out there. And I'll be back out there tomorrow for you.

This was the Borealis experience.
