Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

experience. I'm your host and life coach. Aurora. I'm so happy

to have you here. I'm so happy to be spending some time with

you. I hope you feel good. I hope you feel heard. Understood.

I hope you feel you can express yourself that feels authentic to

you. And I hope that you're living the life that you're

meant to live. And if not, I hope I can bring you some joy

and hope value with my podcast here. Today, I want to talk

about taking a break, stopping for a moment to take a breath to

reflect to maybe put your feet up. Sometimes we push ourselves

and other people around

to get our needs met, to have projects done. And time sorry,

I'm just closing the windows here because it's a little bit

loud outside. And in doing so we get things done. But we get

things done with kind of a resentful energy, kind of an

energy that is not really pleasant to be around and not

really awesome to experience in our own skin. We push push,

push, we push our limits at work, we push our limits, maybe

with our hobbies, we push our limits with our relationships.

And it doesn't really bring us any satisfaction. So sometimes

you just got to dial down, go back to simplicity. And make

life a little bit more simple again, and especially be less

hard on you. And know that things will get accomplished.

Things will get done. You will get your point across you will

feel understood, heard and seen. But pushing might not be the

right thing at this time. And it doesn't really matter what you

are pushing for. Maybe you're pushing for a relationship that

you want to see unfold a relationship that you want to

see change a job that you want to have or a job that you want

to change a goal that you want to reach. Right sometimes we are

so focused on a goal and it makes us forget about all the

important stuff outside of our goal, setting connections,

genuine connection with the people we love. genuine

expression of how we feel playfulness, and lightness. And

you might say yeah, that's good too. But right now I want to

focus. But sometimes too much focus is not good and it's going

to make you rigid and hard. It's gonna make you beat yourself up

when you don't reach certain goals in a in a certain

timeframe. And that is really not necessary. I invite you to

befriend the term of gentle assertiveness, gentle,

consistent consistency. You can be consistent, assertive,

persistent, and you don't have to be a joke about it. You can

be gentle on yourself and others and trust that things will

unfold in a way that you might maybe not have anticipated.

Take a couple of really deep breaths with me. And notice how

much tension you're holding in your body maybe right now. It's

really important to notice this tension because that tension

doesn't lie that's your state. And you can change it by making

conscious decisions, to relax by engaging in activities that are

going to help you release tension. All too often we think

and feel that we need to tense up and muscle through and

hustle. But that will burn you out. So it's good practice to

notice when you start tensing up, and then to relax, because

this will make you resilient over the long term. And this is

how you will make sustainable steps. This is how you will

progress. It is really important that you don't forget about

this, especially when you are on a path of growth and healing and

excelling in this world. But also, if you are in a situation

that you don't really like at the moment, change will come at

its time. And you can prepare yourself to embrace the change,

but you cannot force it. Yeah. So I'm gonna stay a couple more

moments with you, and quietness and stillness. And hold space

for you to just decompress for a little bit. And it will not be

longer than three minutes, it might even be shorter in case

your ego your mind is jumping in and wants to jump to the next

podcast or next social media scrolling activity, or whatever

it is allow yourself to have these couple

of minutes of pure stillness. And you notice your breath. And

you scan through your body one more time. And notice where

there is tension that you might want to let go off and you trust

that everything will be done at its own time.

Thank you so much for being here. And thank you for having

an open heart and open mind to receive my message to allow

stillness because it is these little gaps and activities,

little gaps in between thoughts that give us genuine rest. This

is where we can make our best decisions where we can be

ourselves where we can ground ourselves. And then from this

point on, we will be conscious and careful and mindful about

what we do next. So this is actually also a little teaser

about what you can expect when you come to the year. I'm

holding space for people from all walks of life. And

especially the people that went through heartbreak in their life

or disappointment, trauma, and wanna engage in a journey that

helps them heal a little further I'd feel honored to be a

stepping stone on your journey to get yourself to a more

peaceful authentic life. And if you have any requests for future

episodes, never hold back. And thank you so much for leaving a

review and for writing us. It helps a lot to continue and to

you know have the word out there for other people to find us and

if you really especially like this podcast, then of course
