Hello, and welcome to the Warriors experience. I'm
Unknown:your host Aurora. And I'm so happy to be spending some time
Unknown:with you today. It's just going to be 10 minutes, 15 minutes,
Unknown:maybe a little longer. But it's time where you can just focus in
Unknown:on yourself and relax. disconnect from a busy life. I
Unknown:really like that new little entry years. So I'm really
Unknown:excited to post this episode. I hope you like it too, by the
Unknown:way. So yeah, the other day I was talking about playfulness
Unknown:and how you should try out new things that excites you, or
Unknown:where you know, you're going to fail. But eventually we'll get
Unknown:better at it and learn. I just went skiing today on like
Unknown:backcountry skis. And it's a very weird new thing to try out
Unknown:because I'm only alpine skiing otherwise. And I fell pretty
Unknown:hard and hurt myself pretty badly. But in the end, I can
Unknown:just, yeah, laugh about it and be excited to try it again and
Unknown:know that Yeah, I might get hurt. But I'm going to do it
Unknown:differently next time. So, so much to trying out new things,
Unknown:and really being playful and stuff. Today, I want to talk
Unknown:about your truth. Yes. Do you live your truth? Do you speak
Unknown:your truth? Do you live an honest life? I think that's a
Unknown:very uncomfortable topic to talk about for some. And for others.
Unknown:It's very inspiring, energizing and mind opening. So I will try
Unknown:and talk to both today. What is your truth? And how honest Can
Unknown:you be with the people around you? especially if you live in a
Unknown:committed relationship? monogamous, committed
Unknown:relationship? If you live with roommates, or if you are in
Unknown:really good contact with your family? How about your friends?
Unknown:How much do they know about you? And how truthful Can you be with
Unknown:them? It is hardest, I think to have these conversations where
Unknown:you know, you're gonna speak your truth. And the person who's
Unknown:listening, the person who's sending a sorry, sitting in
Unknown:front of you might not receive it well might not accept you
Unknown:respect to. After you spoke your truth, they might see you
Unknown:differently. A relationship might change after you spoke
Unknown:your truth out. But what can we do about it? Should we just
Unknown:suppress our truth and try and figure it out on our own? I
Unknown:don't know. Some people have to some people are way too scared
Unknown:to open up and share the truth is a lot of cases out there of
Unknown:people who are craving a same sex relationship and they just
Unknown:can't make that leap because they are still too scared of
Unknown:what the judgment of others is going to feel like and the sharp
Unknown:opinions of society. So they decide to live in a closet and
Unknown:not come out. And is that good for their soul and for their
Unknown:health? Not only mental health, but physical health? Of course
Unknown:not. But they still see the price is too high to come out.
Unknown:And they prefer to keep it a secret what they're desiring.
Unknown:What if you are in a partnership where you all of a sudden don't
Unknown:know if you want to have kits? You get along so well. You both
Unknown:have jobs, you're happy together. And initially when he
Unknown:met he talked about having kids but now you changed your mind.
Unknown:What about these big topics? What if we don't talk about
Unknown:them? And what if we talk about them? I think the most Important
Unknown:thing I learned is that you have to talk about it. And you have
Unknown:to stick to your guns.
Unknown:And you also have to communicate it in a way that the person
Unknown:really understands and sees you and maybe can see how hard it is
Unknown:for you to talk about it. And at the same time, being very
Unknown:vulnerable, I think it's very important to also know exactly
Unknown:where you stand, and then stick to it. Because a lot of people,
Unknown:when they hear something they don't want to hear, they're
Unknown:gonna distract away from the topic, maybe, or they will
Unknown:attack you, or they will be defensive about it. Have a
Unknown:strong reaction. And sometimes we don't expect that. But if you
Unknown:can anticipate it, and know, okay, there might be a strong
Unknown:reaction coming up from the other part. But I know what I
Unknown:want, I know what is best for me, I know what brings me joy.
Unknown:And I will not move away. Step away from that path I'm on, or
Unknown:different direction I want to take on. So let's take your
Unknown:parents, maybe your parents see working in a specific job, maybe
Unknown:your dad has a company. And ever since you little he can see you
Unknown:working in that company. But ever since you're little, you
Unknown:can see that he doesn't really support your artistic side, he
Unknown:doesn't really understand that becoming a movie director is one
Unknown:of your biggest dreams and would make you feel so fulfilled and
Unknown:awesome. So what do you do about that? Do you have to submit to
Unknown:your parents wishes? Or can you go out there and live your truth
Unknown:and be proud of yourself at the same time, and not wait for
Unknown:them? To give you approval, or to be proud of you that will
Unknown:come eventually that will come as soon as they see that you're
Unknown:happy, and really shining out there. But you can wait for it.
Unknown:Because people sometimes can't give you that approval because
Unknown:they didn't receive it. And what you're trying to do out there is
Unknown:so far off that they just can't give that thing to you. And I
Unknown:said that before when it came to approval? How is evolution
Unknown:possible if you don't step out of the box of your family? A
Unknown:couple people out there I know are born into families where
Unknown:they have to make that first step into a new world.
Unknown:Otherwise, it's just going to be a continuous circle of a good
Unknown:little mediocre life, that this person was not born to live,
Unknown:that person has to break out and risk to maybe be rejected for a
Unknown:certain time. But trust that it's only going to be for a
Unknown:certain time and those people will turn around if they truly
Unknown:love you and see your happiness, and that you're living your
Unknown:truth. It is really so inspiring. When you see someone
Unknown:and their flow, when you see someone speaking their truth,
Unknown:and that's something that is so admirable, someone who knows how
Unknown:to set boundaries and knows how to say yes, but also to say no.
Unknown:So what I want you to do today or maybe over the next couple of
Unknown:days is reflect reflecting about your relationship. And how
Unknown:truthful Can you be with those people around you? How do they
Unknown:react when you speak your truth? And can you speak your truth in
Unknown:a kind way, in a very confident way so that the other doesn't
Unknown:feel attacked or rejected. Of course if you're in a committed
Unknown:relationship, mana gammas What's your guy's style so far, and now
Unknown:all of a sudden, you feel like Oh shit, I want to be with
Unknown:different people, I still love that one person. But I also want
Unknown:to be with different people. That's a very scary conversation
Unknown:to have, because you guys might not be on the same page. But can
Unknown:you trust that there's a way to be truthful, but still
Unknown:respectful with the other person? And yeah, maybe it means
Unknown:that you guys have to break up and you have to find someone who
Unknown:is okay with open relationships. But you can't just go out there
Unknown:and start cheating and start living a double life that's
Unknown:gonna hurt your soul and your health way more than if you
Unknown:decide to have that very deep and honest conversation. I feel
Unknown:a lot of times when you talk with people who went through a
Unknown:divorce, you can also see there that communication was not
Unknown:always open and honest. Like the guy who is the provider and does
Unknown:all the money making work. And instead of talking to his wife,
Unknown:his partner, and telling her that he's overwhelmed, and that
Unknown:he needs support and all that jazz, you know, if she truly
Unknown:loves them, then they're going to find a way that he feels more
Unknown:supported. But if he decides to start drinking, instead smoking,
Unknown:going out to the bars, maybe committing adultery, having sex
Unknown:with others, that it's not going to make it better, it's going to
Unknown:temporarily make him feel better, and make him feel
Unknown:supported and understood. And help him to cope with that
Unknown:stress.
Unknown:But long term, it's totally going to ruin himself and the
Unknown:relationship. So I think if we learn to, from the start, be so
Unknown:honest, and also realistic about what we need and want. There'd
Unknown:be less breakups, less divorces out there.
Unknown:Yeah.
Unknown:I think that's it. That's my message for today. You can't be
Unknown:radically truthful. from one day to the other if you see yourself
Unknown:now living a lie or not being completely honest. But you can
Unknown:slowly steer your steering wheel into that direction and start
Unknown:being more honest, more transparent with people. And you
Unknown:will see it will change your relationship in such a beautiful
Unknown:way. They will be able to relate with you on a deeper level. All
Unknown:the people who don't like your truth are gonna fade out and
Unknown:move away and that's okay too, because you're gonna attract new
Unknown:people into your life that are more in alignment with
Unknown:you. So
Unknown:now, I want to thank you for listening to this. I hope it was
Unknown:not too much of a swallow bitter pill to swallow. I will heal my
Unknown:wounds now from my little accident today. take really good
Unknown:care of yourself. If you want to connect with me, and then
Unknown:Instagram, the Borealis experience or on Facebook,
Unknown:Aurora Eggert and yeah, I'll be out there tomorrow again. Thanks
Unknown:for letting me be very raw, genuine and truthful here. I
Unknown:never have to put on a smiley face, or happy face. I enjoy
Unknown:that deeply. The way
