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.

It is Saturday, July 31.

So crazy how fast this year is just passing by.

I only started on January 5 of this year

to podcast. And today I want to talk about not only self doubt,

but the stories that we tell ourselves when we start a new

project, when we make changes in life. And those thoughts

keep creeping up on us self doubt, and

stories from the past stories from the present, just stories

that our mind likes to engage in. And it's usually not a good

outcome story, it is a story that will make you want to quit

or

not engage as much as you could.

It is really interesting to watch people who are successful

already and to see them how they perform, how they get better

with

every new project that they pump out. And you just think they are

totally invincible. You think that they never have self

doubts. They never fear, self criticism, or they never fear

being rejected. But quite the opposite is the case. In my

case, for instance, I'm trying something new, something that

nobody ever has done in my family. And I'm being faced with

not so much criticism, but

maybe I would describe it as avoidance.

And it's very uncomfortable when you live under one roof. And you

know that people are not on a percent supportive of what you

believe in. So in my case, my story is I don't receive the

support from my family. I'm not doing what they want me to do.

And this is why I cannot give 100% I feel drained, I don't

feel creative. I feel I'm swimming against a stream. And

I'm not supporting my family the way they would like me to

support them.

With my little project here, I'm very busy in front of my

computer, oftentimes I schedule interviews, if not on a daily,

I'm interacting a lot with other people and my family just simply

feels neglected because they see no point in what I'm doing. And

this is just my perspective. This is just how I feel and how

I see the situation. And if you were to ask them, if another

person would ask, Oh, what is Aurora doing and they would say,

Oh, she's podcasting. They would actually show pride and be

happy, you know, but the vibe that I receive is not positive.

Now I can go and take this as an excuse to not move on to not

show up. But it's really tough thing to do. And I'm sharing

this with you today, I'm trying to be as vulnerable as possible

with you today, to encourage you and to let you know that once

you start something new, it will feel great. You will feel

precious and excited and doorway doors will be opening for you.

But at the same time. On the other side of the coin, there

will be self doubt there will be resistance they will be fear.

And I want you to understand that this is totally normal. And

I'm not some VIP out there. You know, I'm just a regular girl

who started podcasting a couple months ago. And

I'm not special in any way

to say that you can do the exact same thing. You can go out there

tonight.

it tomorrow and start a complete new era of your life. And when

you're going to be faced with self doubt, criticism and people

rejecting you, people avoiding you,

people questioning, you just know that you got to push

through this, and maybe even reach out to people who have

done it before, and who can relate to how you feel and

motivate you. But what I want to say today is that you can

motivate yourself as well, you can learn to push through fear,

you can learn to see that your mission is so much more

important than what one person in your life or two might think

about you. And is that a valid reason to not go out there and

to shine brightly and to share your mission.

I reached out

to a coach, a business coach, life coach. And I'm very excited

to be working with him in the future, because I know he's

going to open up possibilities, he's going to make me see my

weaknesses. And he's going to make me see my strength. And

I will be able to communicate what I'm struggling most with.

So this is another thing that I want to encourage you to do is

that if you feel stuck in life, if you don't feel good about

your situation,

don't stay alone with it. And know that there's so many people

out there, especially now with Facebook, who have the tools to

help you, we have the tools to empower you, to make you feel

less stuck to make you feel less lonely with your situation. And

really, with so many people on this planet, I don't believe

that you have a problem that cannot be solved with another

person together, you might be able to solve it by yourself.

But is it worth all that energy and pain, if you could just

share it with somebody that is

professional in what you are struggling with. And this is the

third thing I want to talk about. So often we think that

our problems are not possible to be solved.

And then we have to realize we have to go into Burt's

perspective, like I love to do it so often. And to see that

right now. And your situation you feel cornered you fishery

about yourself.

You feel afraid, fear driven.

But you only see the situation from one angle.

Imagine a cheesecake, and you're cutting out a little piece of

cheesecake. And this is your angle. Some people have a bigger

angle on life, some bigger, some smaller.

But still, it's not the 360 it's not the whole cake.

And the problem that you might have, might be a piece of cheese

cake for other people to solve, because they look at your

problem from another angle.

And once you open up to them,

they will invite you into their perspective and you will be open

to see through their eyes and see your problem that needs to

be solved from a different angle. And this also can change

you 180 degrees

you will be able to feel less burden feel less lost and

confused

and less alone. And for the future. You will remember this

and for the next time you face a problem you will remember oh

shit when I speak to other people. When I talk to a

professional to a mentor. I will be able to undock myself and dig

myself.

My English is not getting better with time and I know you're

forgiving. I know. You care about what I share here.

and don't really judge me and my English

that receiving a review on Apple podcast is like a currency for
