Ep.1 Inventory check, self care. [self-awareness]

Unknown: 00:00:06

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:00:09

experience. I'm your host Aurora. And yeah, I'm very

Unknown: 00:00:14

excited to be record in episode number one of season two now.

Unknown: 00:00:22

It's been quite a great journey. So far, I've been posting an

Unknown: 00:00:28

episode every day ever since January 3. And, yeah, I feel

Unknown: 00:00:35

inspired every day to post something for you to guide you

Unknown: 00:00:39

through meditation, or to inspire you with my stuff here.

Unknown: 00:00:47

And today, I just want to do an inventory check today is a day

Unknown: 00:00:54

where I will be just a little more quiet than usual. Kind of a

Unknown: 00:01:02

half meditation, half inspirational talk. And we will

Unknown: 00:01:07

see how we feel. And if we want to continue the way we were

Unknown: 00:01:12

operating in the past couple weeks or months. So best would

Unknown: 00:01:20

be that you know driving a car, or bicycle or operating any

Unknown: 00:01:24

machinery. Be in a safe space where you can relax and maybe

Unknown: 00:01:29

even close your eyes. And just see how you feel today. Because

Unknown: 00:01:35

I feel like doing it for myself today. I decided to make this

Unknown: 00:01:40

the new episode of a new season. I have my dogs wrestling in the

Unknown: 00:01:48

background, I will not edit them out because they are a huge part

Unknown: 00:01:54

of my life. And it's been a little challenging at times to

Unknown: 00:02:00

be recreating and taking care of the puppies at the same time and

Unknown: 00:02:05

trying to grow a little business here. But it's going alright,

Unknown: 00:02:11

it's going great.

Unknown: 00:02:18

So see how you feel today and see how you feel about your last

Unknown: 00:02:21

couple of weeks. Maybe they have been stressful because of COVID.

Unknown: 00:02:29

Maybe you've been bored most of the time and stuck at home.

Unknown: 00:02:35

Maybe you felt lonely? Maybe you were figuring things out with

Unknown: 00:02:42

your life with your past life and want to be on a new path.

Unknown: 00:02:46

No. Maybe you're studying hard for exams, maybe you're very

Unknown: 00:02:52

focused on something that one day will turn you into a doctor

Unknown: 00:03:00

and nurse and lawyer. Whatever dream you have you want to

Unknown: 00:03:04

accomplish. Maybe you're very very focused at the moment. And

Unknown: 00:03:09

I think wherever we're at right now, it is good to at times.

Unknown: 00:03:18

Take a break and just see how everything fields and take

Unknown: 00:03:27

effortless. Take effortlessness into account. Sorry, I got

Unknown: 00:03:41

distracted here because all of a sudden the dogs are quiet. So

Unknown: 00:03:44

sometimes that gives me anxiety. So yeah, effortlessness and ease

Unknown: 00:03:52

and natural flow. Sometimes when we want to accomplish something,

Unknown: 00:03:58

maybe you studying, working hard and me here trying to build a

Unknown: 00:04:05

little business and have that podcast growing for you.

Unknown: 00:04:10

Sometimes we get too caught up in the two dues in wanting to

Unknown: 00:04:15

accomplish and wanting to reach a goal every day. And it's

Unknown: 00:04:20

tiring. Sometimes we tire ourselves out. So it is you who

Unknown: 00:04:28

then have to decide No, I'm gonna take a break. No, no, I'm

Unknown: 00:04:32

going to binge watch a series now. I'm gonna eat some junk

Unknown: 00:04:36

food. Now if I was great on a diet. It's good to keep the

Unknown: 00:04:41

balance. Take a deep breath in and exhale through your mouth.

Unknown: 00:04:56

Very good.

Unknown: 00:05:01

I joined Instagram today. I had huge resistance, joining

Unknown: 00:05:08

Instagram for the longest time. And yeah, no, I did it because

Unknown: 00:05:14

for some reason, I'm not allowed to post life videos on Facebook.

Unknown: 00:05:20

And I felt constipated in the last couple of days, like, I

Unknown: 00:05:26

really wanted to be out there for you and post a live

Unknown: 00:05:29

meditation. And I was not allowed. And I got so

Unknown: 00:05:33

frustrated. And now I just realized, no, I have to get

Unknown: 00:05:38

given to something that I was resisting for the longest time.

Unknown: 00:05:42

And I'm just gonna surrender to Instagram and allow them to see

Unknown: 00:05:48

me and be vulnerable and raw out there. And it's a beautiful

Unknown: 00:05:55

platform that I'm very, very excited to use. But then I

Unknown: 00:06:01

posted on Facebook that I was on Instagram now. And you can see

Unknown: 00:06:06

that I have a couple people unfollowing and zero followers,

Unknown: 00:06:11

and it just made me feel very humble, to start something from

Unknown: 00:06:18

scratch. And to know that people might be judging me because I

Unknown: 00:06:24

have no followers so far and, and that whole social anxiety

Unknown: 00:06:28

that exists on Facebook and Instagram. But I want to ignore

Unknown: 00:06:35

that feeling and make it more important. What I put out there

Unknown: 00:06:40

for you, and the stuff that I know, will feel like a big

Unknown: 00:06:50

drink, or have a nice beautiful, soothing source. Something

Unknown: 00:06:58

soothing, something that is supposed to bring you joy and

Unknown: 00:07:01

peace and quietness. So yeah, today I had to overcome that

Unknown: 00:07:07

level of resistance. And this is doza being very vocal today and

Unknown: 00:07:13

wanting to say hi. And I'm also very excited to introduce him to

Unknown: 00:07:17

you guys because he's a lovely puppy of 10 weeks, not potty

Unknown: 00:07:22

trained now. Always yet. So we have a lot of fun getting them

Unknown: 00:07:28

trained and, and having him in our lives. Now I drifted off,

Unknown: 00:07:35

but let's get back to your breath and where you at. And

Unknown: 00:07:40

that you want to take a break today from all that craziness.

Unknown: 00:07:46

From the to do mode from the having to accomplish mode from

Unknown: 00:07:52

the playing a role mode. Maybe you are a father or a mother.

Unknown: 00:07:59

Maybe you are a son or a daughter who feels responsible

Unknown: 00:08:04

for his parents. Or maybe you are a big brother, big sister

Unknown: 00:08:11

and always there for your younger siblings, then this is

Unknown: 00:08:17

exactly for you. And for all the people out there who who want

Unknown: 00:08:23

take a break for a moment here. You've been doing awesome. The

Unknown: 00:08:29

mistakes you made you learn from and you will not repeat them in

Unknown: 00:08:34

the future. And if you do it is for a reason and they will get

Unknown: 00:08:39

you somewhere. Just take a couple breaths, drink good clean

Unknown: 00:08:48

water. Eat awesome. Good food that makes you feel really good

Unknown: 00:08:56

about yourself.

Unknown: 00:09:02

Have restful sleep, posted a couple meditations that can

Unknown: 00:09:07

really help you to wind down at night and to for you to have you

Unknown: 00:09:12

are undistracted not again because of my puppy biting my

Unknown: 00:09:17

pullover. I posted episodes for when you struggle with insomnia.

Unknown: 00:09:26

I don't have a good night's sleep. So feel free to go back

Unknown: 00:09:32

to season one and work through a couple of the meditations.

Unknown: 00:09:36

They're really just 10 minutes long or a little longer and they

Unknown: 00:09:40

were so obvious so well. I feel I have to keep that episode a

Unknown: 00:09:48

little shorter because the puppy is really going crazy now. And

Unknown: 00:09:54

feel free to continue to just sit there and breeze. And relax

Unknown: 00:10:01

and know that the to do lists can be approached tomorrow

Unknown: 00:10:06

again, or later on today. take really good care of yourself.

Unknown: 00:10:11

Unknown: 00:10:17

of how chaotic My life is in the background behind the scenes of

Unknown: 00:10:22
