Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis
Unknown:experience. I'm your host Aurora. And I'm so happy to be
Unknown:spending some time with you today.
Unknown:I hope you're doing well, I hope you feel good and safe. And just
Unknown:at ease. I know there's lots going on in the world right now.
Unknown:And I somehow, yeah, hope that you're not affected by it. I
Unknown:just came home from a walk forest, and feel very good in my
Unknown:body, it's always good to go for walks and to be close to trees
Unknown:and exposed to a little bit of wind and to see mountains and
Unknown:trees change. Scenery really helps in changing perspectives.
Unknown:I invite you to leave a review for the podcast, by the way, if
Unknown:you like this podcast, because it helps a lot to have new
Unknown:people find this podcast. And there's also a little button in
Unknown:the show notes to buy me a coffee, of course, all the money
Unknown:that I would receive from you, I invest back into my podcast, and
Unknown:my years of experience, my physical location now where you
Unknown:can meet with me for coaching or for yoga, and also relaxation
Unknown:classes. And yeah, for you to be sure that the money is in a safe
Unknown:space. And I'm will make sure that we will not get any
Unknown:advertisement or sponsors onto this show. So that you can enjoy
Unknown:this podcast without having to skip out on annoying
Unknown:advertisement. I want to make sure that it stays that way and
Unknown:sustainable. So today I want to talk about commitment,
Unknown:commitment to yourself commitment to your journey. I'm
Unknown:pretty sure that we all know what commitment means I haven't
Unknown:looked at every key Paideia definition although I could do
Unknown:that quickly. Now one second. Now. So what I found here is
Unknown:commitment, The state or quality of being dedicated to a cause
Unknown:activity, or a person. Isn't that beautiful? So dedication,
Unknown:devotion, loyalty, I would also add faithfulness, fidelity. How
Unknown:about focus is what I want to talk about today. Because I
Unknown:noticed whenever I go into deep, dark phases where I feel stuck
Unknown:and unhappy with where I'm at, or just don't know why I feel
Unknown:down and low, I noticed that it also has to do with my
Unknown:commitments so that I let my commitments slide. So to see,
Unknown:the more I'm committed to my little morning rituals, my
Unknown:evening rituals, consistent sleep, consistent, eating,
Unknown:consistent, exercising, consistent nurturing of my
Unknown:friendships, the better I feel. And this is why I want to share
Unknown:this with you so urgently because I have so many people
Unknown:messaging me right now that they feel out of place, they feel
Unknown:uncertain, they feel anxious about the future. And I can
Unknown:totally relate to that and what helps me is to be committed to a
Unknown:cause to my life to my relationships. And at this
Unknown:point, I also want to say if you are single or if you are in a
Unknown:place of uncertainty in a relationship. I want you to
Unknown:become committed to that. So let's say you are single but you
Unknown:are not happy with that state is Then I want you to commit to a
Unknown:journey that will involve all the work and exercises and
Unknown:unraveling and untangling from stuff. So that you can meet a
Unknown:partner in the future. That is a good suitor. If you are singer
Unknown:and you are happy, I want you to commit to all the activities to
Unknown:your friendships, to maybe it is freedom, traveling, self care,
Unknown:and really commit to that. But if you are single, and you are
Unknown:not happy, me, as an outsider, me as a caring member of your
Unknown:community, I want to see that you are taking steps to reveal
Unknown:and free yourself from stuff that is not serving you anymore,
Unknown:because you're not single, just, you know, because people don't
Unknown:like you, I feel if you're listening to this show, you
Unknown:might be single and unhappy. Because you don't know yourself,
Unknown:you're not setting boundaries with yourself maybe, or you
Unknown:don't know what you're made of. You don't know what partner
Unknown:would be compatible with or to you, which goes back to you
Unknown:don't know yourself enough. And then you're just tumbling
Unknown:around, wobbling around. And life is too short, to not be
Unknown:committed to your journey. And I'm going to say it again, it
Unknown:doesn't matter if you like your path or your journey, where
Unknown:you're at right now or not. And especially if you don't like
Unknown:your path, if it is uncomfortable, I need you to
Unknown:commit to find a way to understand why you are at where
Unknown:you're at, and where you want to go to become a Digilent.
Unknown:Detective, on who you are. And then to make decisions based on
Unknown:you knowing who you are. And you'll get a way different
Unknown:outcome than if you keep stumbling around in life,
Unknown:wasting energy and time, and maybe even burden friends and
Unknown:family with the same ongoing problems with the same broken
Unknown:tape. On and on and on. Right. And I know this is a little bit
Unknown:of a tough love episode today. I'm glad I can label my episode
Unknown:explicitly. So that you know from the get go that yeah, it's
Unknown:not for the soft spoken. Here, we want to get to the nitty
Unknown:gritty. And we want to know that if you are on a path that
Unknown:doesn't feel good. How you can get out of it gracefully. And
Unknown:with emotional intelligence, and dedication to live a life that
Unknown:is true to your self. Life is short, my dear. And I don't want
Unknown:you to lay on your deathbed one day. And think about all the
Unknown:stuff that you haven't done all the experiences that you didn't
Unknown:have, because you were too shy and too scared. That's not what
Unknown:we want to do. On our last day here on Earth. We want to
Unknown:recount memories with big joy and big sorrow. And we want to I
Unknown:think we all want a juicy life. But right now, especially after
Unknown:COVID after having to isolate and you know, stay apart from
Unknown:each other. I feel that a lot of us struggle to get back out
Unknown:there. And to know like what feels good and what doesn't and
Unknown:to find out okay, who do we want to hang out with and who do we
Unknown:not want to hang out with? But there's a lot of shyness out
Unknown:there. And people are very reserved when it comes to
Unknown:meeting new people. And it's harming us. We are herd animals
Unknown:and we need each other we need to feel a community around us
Unknown:beyond close friends and family. And that is something that will
Unknown:not be good for our mental and emotional health.
Unknown:If it continues like that we need to learn to be curious
Unknown:again, to be open and to not be driven by fear, but by
Unknown:courageous, open hearted love, where we are consciously
Unknown:extending our comfort zone. But at the same time we know it is
Unknown:not dangerous, it is safe adventure. And we can check out
Unknown:and set boundaries at any moment in time. So, I will leave you
Unknown:with that and hope that I somehow hit home that it
Unknown:resonates with you. I want to make sure that I deliver what
Unknown:you need and want when it comes to emotional and mental health.
Unknown:So never hold back from shooting me. topic requests. If you have
Unknown:questions, shoot me a message on Facebook or Instagram, Aurora
Unknown:Eggert or Aurora coaching on Instagram. And I'm always happy
Unknown:to to answer questions and to deliver episodes to your needs.
Unknown:Yeah, I'll leave you for now and we'll be out there very soon
Unknown:again. take really good care. Bye bye
