Hello, hello and welcome to the Borealis
Unknown:experience. I'm your host Aurora, life coach and companion
Unknown:on this beautiful journey called life. I'm so happy to be
Unknown:spending some time with you today. I hope you're in a good
Unknown:place, I hope I can bring you value hope, love understanding.
Unknown:The most important mission I have with my podcast is that I
Unknown:provide you with tools that help you to get to know yourself
Unknown:better, the better you know yourself, the better decisions
Unknown:you're gonna make. And the more content and fulfilled you're
Unknown:going to be, which in turn is going to deeply affect the
Unknown:people, the environment around you. Today I want to talk about
Unknown:compliments. What are the thoughts the feelings that come
Unknown:up when I speak out this word compliment? I want to compliment
Unknown:you. I have so much respect for you for being here. Because
Unknown:chances are you are a person with a growth mindset. You are
Unknown:an entrepreneur, you are a parent, you are a lover, you are
Unknown:just a very decent human being who wants to live up to their
Unknown:potential and be their best version. And proud of you. You
Unknown:can be proud of yourself. How do you react when you receive a
Unknown:compliment? Do you blush? Do you accept? Do you reject and
Unknown:decline? Do you make fun of people that give you a
Unknown:compliment? Do you give compliments easily? Or are you
Unknown:hard to impress? I feel we can give each other so much energy
Unknown:and complimenting speaking out a compliment. It is so important
Unknown:to acknowledge the people around you to truly see them for who
Unknown:they are to see their efforts and what they are accomplishing
Unknown:doing, but especially who they are. Who are you? What is
Unknown:special about it to be you? How do you perceive the world? When
Unknown:you receive a compliment, you have touched something in
Unknown:another person. Yes, there is genuine compliments and there's
Unknown:honest compliments. But let's just talk about the honest
Unknown:compliments today. If somebody wants to give you a compliment,
Unknown:you have triggered something positive inside of them. They
Unknown:see something in you that you might not see in yourself. I
Unknown:feel that a lot of times when we reject a compliment. It is
Unknown:because we don't see ourselves the same way that other people
Unknown:perceive us. Every time that's the case. So every time you
Unknown:reject a compliment, you don't want to accept a compliment. I
Unknown:feel that's where we have to go deeper and find out what is
Unknown:going on here. Why do you have a a weird, negative perception of
Unknown:yourself and how can we heal that? Do you freely give away
Unknown:genuine compliments? Or do you never really acknowledge the
Unknown:people around you? Do you show appreciation. It is so important
Unknown:when you want to have a deep connection with the people
Unknown:around you. And it doesn't have to be your romantic partner it
Unknown:can be your parents, your siblings, other relatives, your
Unknown:friends, acquaintances, a stranger in the street. One
Unknown:little rule I live by is to leave the people in a better
Unknown:mood than how I found them. And sometimes a compliment
Unknown:just does it just does the trick. It can make another
Unknown:person stay if they receive it well, you can really make a
Unknown:positive little imprint on their heart. And isn't that so magical
Unknown:and beautiful and worth trying. So, over the next couple of
Unknown:days, I want you to notice things. And people around you, I
Unknown:want you to acknowledge actions, gestures, behaviors, that deeply
Unknown:touch you impress you, make you feel good about yourself or
Unknown:about other people. And if you're not there yet to express
Unknown:it, then just notice it, just start by noticing it. But if
Unknown:you've already, I encourage you, to express it, to show
Unknown:gratitude, appreciation, show that you're deeply impressed by
Unknown:another person. We never know what's going on in another
Unknown:person's life, you know, they might have a really tough and
Unknown:shitty day. And then you come along and share this beautiful
Unknown:genuine compliment with them. And all of a sudden, they see
Unknown:the good and humanity again, all of a sudden, they feel better
Unknown:about themselves. Again, all of a sudden, they feel energy to
Unknown:accomplish the next steps that they need to take. On that day.
Unknown:We all have to become a little bit more aware on what deep of
Unknown:an impact we have on each other. And once we know that, once
Unknown:we're aware of this, we have to own that power. And make the
Unknown:best of it. The way you impact people is the way that people
Unknown:are going to remember you, the way you make people feel is what
Unknown:they're going to be thinking of when they think of you. It is an
Unknown:incredibly beautiful experience, to be noticed, to feel
Unknown:acknowledged, to feel seen and hurt, you know that to try to
Unknown:give that to other people. And we can all make this planet a
Unknown:little bit more kind a little bit more magical and beautiful
Unknown:again, and it costs you absolutely nothing. Just a
Unknown:couple of words. Just a deep look in the eye. A smile, a tap
Unknown:on the shoulder. Very, very simple and powerful at the same
Unknown:time. Right. I'm gonna leave you with that. It's all my love and
Unknown:care. Thank you so much for sharing with the people around
Unknown:you with loved ones. And if you want to send me a little
Unknown:appreciation, donations through my buy me a coffee link are
Unknown:highly appreciated. For me to continue this beautiful little
Unknown:podcast for me to make this work. Yeah, sustainable and most
Unknown:impactful on our society. Take care of yourself, and I'll be
Unknown:out there very soon again. Bye bye
