Ep. 13 Your dreams. How to reach them or at least get closer to reaching them. [empowerment]

Unknown: 00:00:07

Hello there, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:00:11

experience. I'm your host, Aurora, here in the Rocky

Unknown: 00:00:15

Mountains and Canada. It is above 00. And today I decided to

Unknown: 00:00:22

record outdoors. So you will be hearing my dog walking in the

Unknown: 00:00:27

snow, you will be hearing maybe a little bit of wind. And you

Unknown: 00:00:32

can imagine me standing outside with a tooth and a little jacket

Unknown: 00:00:38

on sunbathing in the winter sun. So today, I want to talk about

Unknown: 00:00:47

dreams and how you can get closer to your dreams, even

Unknown: 00:00:52

though they seem so far away. Maybe he live in a city. And

Unknown: 00:01:00

your biggest dream is to be on a farm one day and to retire in

Unknown: 00:01:05

the mountains. Nobody of your family members has ever done

Unknown: 00:01:10

that. No one of your friends has a farm or is living on in the

Unknown: 00:01:18

countryside. And, yeah, you just have that dream in your mind.

Unknown: 00:01:27

Most of the time you push it down, suppress it. go about your

Unknown: 00:01:35

daily life focus on work, because you have to make money,

Unknown: 00:01:40

especially if you want to reach that dream one day. But what can

Unknown: 00:01:46

you do right now to get closer to that dream. And I think the

Unknown: 00:01:50

farm example is very nice. Because a lot of people right

Unknown: 00:01:55

now are caught in their apartments in a city and dream

Unknown: 00:02:01

of B being somewhere else. And I'm getting too cold right now.

Unknown: 00:02:06

So I have to interrupt liner episode here and go back inside

Unknown: 00:02:13

was a good idea to be outside. But hold on for a second.

Unknown: 00:02:19

Wonderful back inside in the warm. So you have that dream.

Unknown: 00:02:29

And the first thing I would say is every day

Unknown: 00:02:35

depending on how passionate how urgent that dreamers but I would

Unknown: 00:02:40

say every day, put aside at least five minutes and envision

Unknown: 00:02:49

your dream. How do you want that dream to look like and be as

Unknown: 00:02:57

specific as you need. And for some people that can just sit

Unknown: 00:03:01

there and close their eyes and think of it imagine, others need

Unknown: 00:03:06

to write things down. And there might be other options too. But

Unknown: 00:03:11

those two are the ones that I recommend. So you write things

Unknown: 00:03:17

down how you want your dream to look like your future to look

Unknown: 00:03:22

like. And you Be as specific as possible. Like go down to the

Unknown: 00:03:30

windows and the door that you want to use every morning when

Unknown: 00:03:33

you step out. The animals you want it to be surrounded with

Unknown: 00:03:40

the plants you want to grow the location, the people you want to

Unknown: 00:03:47

talk to the vibe that is out there. But you will have your

Unknown: 00:03:54

farm. So that's step number one, put aside a couple minutes every

Unknown: 00:04:02

day. And if you're doing that already, put more time into it

Unknown: 00:04:06

and write things down and vision. How specific you want to

Unknown: 00:04:12

be, the more specific the better. Second point is. You

Unknown: 00:04:17

need to research online and internet is so so sexy because

Unknown: 00:04:24

you can research pretty much everything nowadays. You have to

Unknown: 00:04:29

connect with people who have done that step before who have

Unknown: 00:04:34

moved out to the countryside from a big city. And you can

Unknown: 00:04:40

listen to their stories. You can contact them, you can meet up

Unknown: 00:04:45

with them. Of course, yeah, you got to see how it is with COVID

Unknown: 00:04:51

restrictions. But you have to open your eyes up to people that

Unknown: 00:05:00

have done that step before. And there, it really doesn't matter.

Unknown: 00:05:06

Like, right now we're talking about a farm on the countryside.

Unknown: 00:05:09

If it is a,

Unknown: 00:05:12

I don't know, travel, if it is a car, like something material,

Unknown: 00:05:18

you have to get in touch with people who are there already.

Unknown: 00:05:24

And trust me if they can sense that you're just half as

Unknown: 00:05:28

passionate about it than they are, they will help you because

Unknown: 00:05:33

those people are most of the time open hearted and willing to

Unknown: 00:05:38

help, because they have the compassion, they know exactly

Unknown: 00:05:43

how you feel, not being there yet. So first thing was envision

Unknown: 00:05:49

every day, second thing was put time into research and making

Unknown: 00:05:55

connections. And the excuse, or nobody in my family has done

Unknown: 00:06:00

that before. Nobody of my friends can help me how it

Unknown: 00:06:05

doesn't count, you have to meet up with strangers. And you will

Unknown: 00:06:13

very quickly realize that they will not stay strangers, because

Unknown: 00:06:17

they had a dream once and they were able to reach it. And they

Unknown: 00:06:23

are willing to help you. You must believe in that. Because it

Unknown: 00:06:28

is a very beautiful thing between people that so many

Unknown: 00:06:34

people don't see at times is that when someone is truly

Unknown: 00:06:39

glowing and passionate about something, then it's contagious

Unknown: 00:06:45

and attractive. And people want to help you out. It's in our

Unknown: 00:06:50

nature, we are herd animals, and they will listen to you and also

Unknown: 00:06:57

give you advice you will listen to them. So third point is talk

Unknown: 00:07:05

to your friends and family. And even though they might not have

Unknown: 00:07:10

the same dreams and visions and values as you it is always a

Unknown: 00:07:15

good thing to talk to people that we know and trust and share

Unknown: 00:07:22

our thoughts and our dreams with them. And they might have

Unknown: 00:07:27

constructive feedback and ideas. And if you can sense I always

Unknown: 00:07:32

put people in three category categories. Like the optimists,

Unknown: 00:07:37

the dreamers, the realists, or it's for actually, the

Unknown: 00:07:42

pessimists. As soon as you sense that they're pessimistic about

Unknown: 00:07:46

your idea, your dream, then move away and move on to people who

Unknown: 00:07:51

are optimists. And realists, and dreamers, because those are the

Unknown: 00:07:56

people who are going to lift you up and bring you closer to your

Unknown: 00:08:00

goal. And if you are a loner, if you used to do everything, by

Unknown: 00:08:06

yourself, it is okay to just contact people that you don't

Unknown: 00:08:11

know. But you have to know that you can only reach your goal

Unknown: 00:08:15

through other people. You have to learn to be open and to share

Unknown: 00:08:21

your passion, your why. And then people will gladly support you

Unknown: 00:08:29

or their little network brain is going to kick on and they will

Unknown: 00:08:34

come up with people that you can contact in the future.

Unknown: 00:08:40

So those are the three things I want to give you today. Because

Unknown: 00:08:45

COVID let's be real here sucks. There's no doubt. But I feel

Unknown: 00:08:54

COVID also makes so much time for reflection and dreaming. And

Unknown: 00:09:00

there's going to be the crazy years after this confinement

Unknown: 00:09:04

where people are going to let their hair down and let loose

Unknown: 00:09:08

and I can't wait for it. But now is the time to really envision

Unknown: 00:09:13

your dreams and to start working on your dreams to start making

Unknown: 00:09:17

the connections. And you will see you can get closer and

Unknown: 00:09:22

closer to your dream. If it is baby steps if it is big steps.

Unknown: 00:09:28

Sometimes you will reach a plateau and not move closer to

Unknown: 00:09:33

your dream and that's okay too because maybe something has to

Unknown: 00:09:38

grow and develop first inside of you in order to to go further.

Unknown: 00:09:43

Yeah, you will grow with every step step you take towards your

Unknown: 00:09:49

dream. And you were realized that one day I love you so much.

Unknown: 00:09:54

I believe so much and you you only got to believe in yourself

Unknown: 00:09:59

now. And yeah, I'm very excited to be out there for you every

Unknown: 00:10:05

day. I love your support. I love your feedback. You guys are

Unknown: 00:10:10

incredible. So, yeah, I'm your host of Aurora. You were

Unknown: 00:10:16

listening to the Borealis experience here. Be kind to

Unknown: 00:10:20

yourself. Until next time, bye bye
