Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

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

on this beautiful journey called life. Gosh, I missed speaking

this intro, it's been quite a while since I published an

episode for you.

My life has been shaken has been turned upside down. And now I

can slowly but surely find a grip underneath my feet again,

just in a nutshell relative of mine, my father had a stroke in

Germany, and I'm in Canada, and deeply embedded in the community

here and busy and this message reached me and it completely

threw me off. Now I booked my flight to go see him and I feel

so much better I feel I can breathe again, I can sleep

again, I can feel a little bit more normal again. And it will

feel good to hold his hand. So yeah, just a little side note,

while I've been away for quite some time, it's been very

interesting. And in the meantime, I kept working on my

dream on my location that I'm building here for you. And that

was great. Sometimes, when you're not doing well

emotionally mentally. It is extremely awesome to have

physical work to do and a project that you can see

progress serves kind of like an anchor. So that has been very

good. I hope you are good. I hope you feel safe. I hope you

feel understood and loved. I hope that you own up to your

truth. I hope you can live your most authentic life. And first

and foremost, I hope that you enjoy great health. Your

physical body is the reason why you are here on planet Earth.

You experience pleasure you can travel you can take in the world

around you with all your senses. So please, please, please never

forget how important your physical health is. And how it

affects your mind and your emotions, your over all well

being. Today I want to talk about thinking, making time to

think no matter what you're going to do with your life, you

will have a great advantage over your competitors. If you make

time to reflect to rest. And think and what I mean by sync is

not you know just sit there and put your legs up and think about

the next item you want to buy or the next food like the next meal

you want to cook. The next person you want to flirt with

with thinking I mean thoughts that are in alignment with your

desires, dreams and goals. So many of us feel that if we stop

for a moment and are in stillness, that we are wasting

time. But my dear, I'm here to tell you that quite the opposite

is the truth. It doesn't really matter if you are a parent if

you are a lover. If you are an entrepreneur a ce o As a sole

proprietor, an employed person, if you are able to make time and

reflect about where you want your life to go, you will get

there. Eventually. Too many people are on IO autopilot, too

many people are caught up with their to do lists. I know people

who have absolutely no to do lists, and I know people who

have, like, free to tend to do lists for one day. And I just,

yeah, I have a hard time imagining how that can be.

Awesome living? If you're kind of Yeah. Reactive to your To Do

lists if you're like a little squirrel working down your list?

Or how do you say that like, checking off? points on your

list? Is that really enjoyable? Do you feel that alive and in

good about it? When you live like that? Yeah, it gives you

structure. It makes you not forget things. But I'm always

one to encourage people to stay alive and to stay. I don't want

to say alert. But observant. Right, when you go to bed at

night, can you reflect back and see the baby steps that you took

towards your goal? Instead of planning out your week? If

weight loss is one of your goals, or weight gain, and you

plan out your week, or your coming weeks, with tasks that

you want to fulfill each day, what if life happens? And that

comes up a couple of days where you don't do anything? Are you

going to beat yourself up or you're going to fall back? I

tell you what, a lot of people who then get thrown off their to

do lists, so to say quit because they feel they're falling

behind. And then they end up not doing anything at all. Or they

fulfill all the little tasks that were written down on your

on their to do list.

But it's kind of like a it feels like a should and like a must.

And is that the right way to go about your dreams and to be on a

path of self discovery and joy and true living living with

purpose? Living from the heart? I don't think so. I think we

have to read just when I'm going through this crisis again and

coming out of it alive. I'm taking day by day. I don't plan

big things. I focus on the the essentials are the most

important things. I have my goals and my dreams and my

desires in mind. And it doesn't matter which little step I take

towards my goal each day, even if it is just two minutes,

because I know life happens. I know, distraction happen. But if

I know that even if I was distracted, even if I felt

uprooted, and life was horrible. And I still made those two

minutes that were serving my goals that were in alignment

with my values. I could tap myself on my shoulder and I can

keep going. Right you keep that consistency. It's like a red

line. That from the day you decide what your goal is, what

your dream is that you want to reach to the day that you reach

your goal that this red line never gets interrupted. And it

doesn't matter if the red line is fat balled in a way that We

can say, Yeah, you made lots of time you put lots of effort in

and you were very productive. And on days where the line is

thin, and you could only make two minutes time, or you could

only make one little phone call that it counts as one. But you

didn't leave your goal your dream out of sight. And this is

what I was doing over the last couple of weeks when I was not

showing up as often as I wanted to, as to not beat myself up to

know that I will come back stronger than ever. And in the

meantime, I will work on stuff that I usually neglect

stuff that is also in alignment with my dreams and goals and

that will make you feel so awesome. It is consistency, it

is not a To Do lists and beating yourself up for days where you

don't fulfill your To Do lists that will make you come closer

to your dreams. And again, it doesn't matter if you are trying

to manifest a relationship or your ideal weight, or a job or

travel plans. It will fall into place if you are gentle with

yourself along the way. And I think this is what I want you to

take away from today's episode is that we are human. We are on

planet Earth. Tackling life and life will throw curveballs at

you and obstacles that you are equipped to conquer. But be

gentle along the way because no one else is going to be gentle

except you. And if you are the people around you will be gentle

as well. If you communicate what you're going through, and if you

own up to where you're at on your journey, you will find

support, incredible support. And I'm also always there and so

incredibly grateful to be on this journey with you. This
