Ep. 2. What do you go to work for?

Unknown: 00:00:09

Hello, and welcome to the Borealis experience. I'm

Unknown: 00:00:13

your host Aurora, life coach and companion on this beautiful

Unknown: 00:00:19

journey called life. I'm simply so happy to be spending some

Unknown: 00:00:26

minutes, a couple minutes with you today. Thank you so much for

Unknown: 00:00:31

choosing me as your podcaster. And yeah, let's dive into

Unknown: 00:00:37

today's topic. What do you go to work for? How do you feel about

Unknown: 00:00:45

your job? I was live today on Facebook and talked about how I

Unknown: 00:00:52

observe people who I love to ask questions about their jobs,

Unknown: 00:01:00

because it is really, really important to see that you spent

Unknown: 00:01:06

more time with your job with your co workers, then with your

Unknown: 00:01:14

loved ones, and the way you pick your job, the way you wake up in

Unknown: 00:01:21

the morning, really affects your mental health and how you feel

Unknown: 00:01:27

about yourself, other people the world in general, so deeply.

Unknown: 00:01:35

What I observed in recent months is that the people who are

Unknown: 00:01:42

passionate, the people who are driven the people who are highly

Unknown: 00:01:46

motivated, the people who are following their calling, have

Unknown: 00:01:55

something about them, they have that spark in their eyes, they

Unknown: 00:02:00

have that energy that is so incredibly magnetic. And they

Unknown: 00:02:05

usually pick a job that is serving others, they're being of

Unknown: 00:02:14

service to others through their job, they're not going to work

Unknown: 00:02:22

every day, five times a week, to get a paycheck out of it, they

Unknown: 00:02:28

get up in the morning, because they know they are making a

Unknown: 00:02:34

change. They're they're making a difference they're making. They

Unknown: 00:02:41

have a positive impact on society. And this is what drives

Unknown: 00:02:47

them. Then there's people who get up in the morning and they

Unknown: 00:02:51

press snooze 10,000 times first, and then they drag their

Unknown: 00:02:57

beautiful little ass into work. And they're they hate every

Unknown: 00:03:01

second they get along with their coworkers, they kind of hate

Unknown: 00:03:05

their boss, they absolutely hate the activity that they engage

Unknown: 00:03:10

in. But at the end of the month, I guess here in Canada is every

Unknown: 00:03:15

two weeks even, they get a big fat paycheck. And with that

Unknown: 00:03:19

money, they can allow themselves to pay their mortgage, send

Unknown: 00:03:26

their children to an expensive school or get that vacation that

Unknown: 00:03:32

they are longing for to get a break from this job that they

Unknown: 00:03:37

are engaging in. Now in the tone with the tone, not I think we

Unknown: 00:03:44

see it with the tone of my voice. You can already hear that

Unknown: 00:03:51

person a when you meet them will feel very differently. To to

Unknown: 00:04:00

meet than Person B, if you sit across from Person B you could

Unknown: 00:04:06

probably literally see that they are not 100% happy with their

Unknown: 00:04:12

choices. They say things like Yeah, but belts have to get

Unknown: 00:04:18

paid. And you know, everybody has to go to work. Money doesn't

Unknown: 00:04:22

grow on trees. Person A will speak very differently. They

Unknown: 00:04:28

will be very enthusiastic about their job and you will see that

Unknown: 00:04:34

they're just very positive about their job and it feels more like

Unknown: 00:04:41

an activity or a hobby than a job. And you see Person A will

Unknown: 00:04:51

be more likely to be happy and to have healthy relationships

Unknown: 00:04:56

compared to person B because they're not really happy with

Unknown: 00:04:59

what They do with most of their time, they're in it to get

Unknown: 00:05:05

something from the big corporate from their job, they want that

Unknown: 00:05:11

paycheck, and then eff off and tried to distract from their

Unknown: 00:05:16

pain that they're experiencing on a soul level, mental

Unknown: 00:05:19

emotional level on a daily basis. So very different

Unknown: 00:05:25

approach very different attitudes. All this to say, if

Unknown: 00:05:32

you are listening right now, and you feel that you are more like

Unknown: 00:05:37

person be, I'm not judging you. I'm not trying to, you know,

Unknown: 00:05:43

make you feel bad about your decisions. But what I want to

Unknown: 00:05:47

tell you is that if you're struggling with health problems,

Unknown: 00:05:51

mental emotional relationship issues, a clue could be that you

Unknown: 00:05:59

are not happy, satisfied content, in alignment, feeling

Unknown: 00:06:06

authentic with the job that you are engaging with. Engaging and

Unknown: 00:06:14

my English is not really awesome today, but I know you get my

Unknown: 00:06:18

point. And it is not about making radical changes, but it

Unknown: 00:06:24

is about becoming aware of it. And then over time, making one

Unknown: 00:06:31

degree changes, noticing things, observing yourself, feeling how

Unknown: 00:06:38

your body feels, how your whole being feels, when you are

Unknown: 00:06:42

engaging in this job. And then being more inquisitive. When it

Unknown: 00:06:49

comes to what are you doing here? What is your soul calling?

Unknown: 00:06:55

What is it that you would like to do more of in your life? What

Unknown: 00:07:00

brings you to joy when you are in service to others. So

Unknown: 00:07:07

sometimes we knew very clearly as a child what we wanted to

Unknown: 00:07:11

become, but for some reason we let go of that dream. By the

Unknown: 00:07:15

way, I'd love you to share your childhood dream job with me on

Unknown: 00:07:23

Facebook. If you haven't yet, please subscribe to my podcast

Unknown: 00:07:28

here. Or connect with me on Facebook, Aurora Eggert, because

Unknown: 00:07:33

I'd love to hear what your childhood dream job was. And

Unknown: 00:07:39

maybe it's still there, maybe you lost track of it. And I can

Unknown: 00:07:45

be the one reminding you of again of it. So it is really

Unknown: 00:07:52

important to know that your job has a heavy influence on how you

Unknown: 00:07:57

feel about yourself. And today, I'm not talking about your boss

Unknown: 00:08:01

and your co workers. That's a totally different story. But the

Unknown: 00:08:05

activity itself, do you feel that you are making a

Unknown: 00:08:12

difference? Do you even if it's just a very small wheel that you

Unknown: 00:08:17

are in the system? But are you making this place? A better

Unknown: 00:08:22

place? Are you supporting people? Are you helping people

Unknown: 00:08:25

out? And you know, a streetsweeper? An accountant, a

Unknown: 00:08:31

person who works at McDonald's? You could ask and if they give

Unknown: 00:08:36

you an answer like yes, it brings me to joy to see people

Unknown: 00:08:42

walk in a clean Street. It brings me to joy to serve people

Unknown: 00:08:48

food that they enjoy. And to be able to support my family with

Unknown: 00:08:54

paying their rent or if you're an accountant. It brings me to

Unknown: 00:08:59

joy to help people out with crunching numbers and helping

Unknown: 00:09:04

them to see new ways on how to spend money or how to go about

Unknown: 00:09:10

their business because I love supporting people. So don't get

Unknown: 00:09:16

me wrong. It doesn't matter what your job is. You don't have to

Unknown: 00:09:20

be an entrepreneur who's inventing the next medicine

Unknown: 00:09:23

against cancer. But it has to be of meaning to your soul. When

Unknown: 00:09:30

you get up in the morning. I want you to see happy and lit up

Unknown: 00:09:37

to go to work and if you can tell me that it doesn't feel

Unknown: 00:09:40

like work, then that's even better. And again, if you are in

Unknown: 00:09:45

a situation where you are in the system to get money out of it,

Unknown: 00:09:52

then just become aware of this first and also be aware that it

Unknown: 00:09:58

will impact how you think and feel about life, it will impact

Unknown: 00:10:05

how you relate to people. Because when you're not happy at

Unknown: 00:10:09

your job, how can you be a happy person, when relating to people

Unknown: 00:10:14

you will be nagging, complaining, you will be a drag,

Unknown: 00:10:18

you know you will be draining because people can sense that

Unknown: 00:10:22

you're not content with yourself. And it can negatively

Unknown: 00:10:29

impact relationships to the point where people don't want to

Unknown: 00:10:32

hang out with you anymore. So I'm not saying that you are in a

Unknown: 00:10:40

terrible situation, if you are now working in a job that is,

Unknown: 00:10:44

you know, serving a certain purpose. But what I'm trying to

Unknown: 00:10:49

inspire inside of you is that you go out and look, what isn't

Unknown: 00:10:55

true alignment with yourself with your calling, and maybe one

Unknown: 00:11:00

day you can make it a job. Or maybe you can start investing

Unknown: 00:11:05

more time in a new hobby that feels like you would live in

Unknown: 00:11:11

more alignment. All right, I'm gonna let you with this. And

Unknown: 00:11:18

wish you a good rest of your day. Thank you so much for

Unknown: 00:11:23

tuning in. And if you have a moment, if you want to give

Unknown: 00:11:27

back, there's a link in the show notes where you can buy me a

Unknown: 00:11:32

Unknown: 00:11:39

Unknown: 00:11:44
