Ep. 14 Committing to your path [self-empowerment]

Unknown: 00:00:08

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown: 00:00:11

experience. I'm your host Aurora. And I'm so happy to be

Unknown: 00:00:16

spending some time with you today.

Unknown: 00:00:19

I hope you're doing well, I hope you feel good and safe. And just

Unknown: 00:00:25

at ease. I know there's lots going on in the world right now.

Unknown: 00:00:29

And I somehow, yeah, hope that you're not affected by it. I

Unknown: 00:00:36

just came home from a walk forest, and feel very good in my

Unknown: 00:00:44

body, it's always good to go for walks and to be close to trees

Unknown: 00:00:50

and exposed to a little bit of wind and to see mountains and

Unknown: 00:00:55

trees change. Scenery really helps in changing perspectives.

Unknown: 00:01:02

I invite you to leave a review for the podcast, by the way, if

Unknown: 00:01:09

you like this podcast, because it helps a lot to have new

Unknown: 00:01:14

people find this podcast. And there's also a little button in

Unknown: 00:01:20

the show notes to buy me a coffee, of course, all the money

Unknown: 00:01:25

that I would receive from you, I invest back into my podcast, and

Unknown: 00:01:32

my years of experience, my physical location now where you

Unknown: 00:01:36

can meet with me for coaching or for yoga, and also relaxation

Unknown: 00:01:42

classes. And yeah, for you to be sure that the money is in a safe

Unknown: 00:01:48

space. And I'm will make sure that we will not get any

Unknown: 00:01:52

advertisement or sponsors onto this show. So that you can enjoy

Unknown: 00:01:58

this podcast without having to skip out on annoying

Unknown: 00:02:03

advertisement. I want to make sure that it stays that way and

Unknown: 00:02:07

sustainable. So today I want to talk about commitment,

Unknown: 00:02:15

commitment to yourself commitment to your journey. I'm

Unknown: 00:02:23

pretty sure that we all know what commitment means I haven't

Unknown: 00:02:26

looked at every key Paideia definition although I could do

Unknown: 00:02:32

that quickly. Now one second. Now. So what I found here is

Unknown: 00:02:37

commitment, The state or quality of being dedicated to a cause

Unknown: 00:02:45

activity, or a person. Isn't that beautiful? So dedication,

Unknown: 00:02:52

devotion, loyalty, I would also add faithfulness, fidelity. How

Unknown: 00:03:02

about focus is what I want to talk about today. Because I

Unknown: 00:03:10

noticed whenever I go into deep, dark phases where I feel stuck

Unknown: 00:03:17

and unhappy with where I'm at, or just don't know why I feel

Unknown: 00:03:23

down and low, I noticed that it also has to do with my

Unknown: 00:03:29

commitments so that I let my commitments slide. So to see,

Unknown: 00:03:37

the more I'm committed to my little morning rituals, my

Unknown: 00:03:42

evening rituals, consistent sleep, consistent, eating,

Unknown: 00:03:49

consistent, exercising, consistent nurturing of my

Unknown: 00:03:55

friendships, the better I feel. And this is why I want to share

Unknown: 00:04:01

this with you so urgently because I have so many people

Unknown: 00:04:06

messaging me right now that they feel out of place, they feel

Unknown: 00:04:11

uncertain, they feel anxious about the future. And I can

Unknown: 00:04:19

totally relate to that and what helps me is to be committed to a

Unknown: 00:04:26

cause to my life to my relationships. And at this

Unknown: 00:04:33

point, I also want to say if you are single or if you are in a

Unknown: 00:04:40

place of uncertainty in a relationship. I want you to

Unknown: 00:04:47

become committed to that. So let's say you are single but you

Unknown: 00:04:57

are not happy with that state is Then I want you to commit to a

Unknown: 00:05:03

journey that will involve all the work and exercises and

Unknown: 00:05:12

unraveling and untangling from stuff. So that you can meet a

Unknown: 00:05:19

partner in the future. That is a good suitor. If you are singer

Unknown: 00:05:25

and you are happy, I want you to commit to all the activities to

Unknown: 00:05:29

your friendships, to maybe it is freedom, traveling, self care,

Unknown: 00:05:38

and really commit to that. But if you are single, and you are

Unknown: 00:05:43

not happy, me, as an outsider, me as a caring member of your

Unknown: 00:05:50

community, I want to see that you are taking steps to reveal

Unknown: 00:06:00

and free yourself from stuff that is not serving you anymore,

Unknown: 00:06:07

because you're not single, just, you know, because people don't

Unknown: 00:06:12

like you, I feel if you're listening to this show, you

Unknown: 00:06:16

might be single and unhappy. Because you don't know yourself,

Unknown: 00:06:21

you're not setting boundaries with yourself maybe, or you

Unknown: 00:06:26

don't know what you're made of. You don't know what partner

Unknown: 00:06:31

would be compatible with or to you, which goes back to you

Unknown: 00:06:37

don't know yourself enough. And then you're just tumbling

Unknown: 00:06:42

around, wobbling around. And life is too short, to not be

Unknown: 00:06:50

committed to your journey. And I'm going to say it again, it

Unknown: 00:06:54

doesn't matter if you like your path or your journey, where

Unknown: 00:06:58

you're at right now or not. And especially if you don't like

Unknown: 00:07:03

your path, if it is uncomfortable, I need you to

Unknown: 00:07:08

commit to find a way to understand why you are at where

Unknown: 00:07:14

you're at, and where you want to go to become a Digilent.

Unknown: 00:07:21

Detective, on who you are. And then to make decisions based on

Unknown: 00:07:28

you knowing who you are. And you'll get a way different

Unknown: 00:07:33

outcome than if you keep stumbling around in life,

Unknown: 00:07:38

wasting energy and time, and maybe even burden friends and

Unknown: 00:07:45

family with the same ongoing problems with the same broken

Unknown: 00:07:49

tape. On and on and on. Right. And I know this is a little bit

Unknown: 00:07:54

of a tough love episode today. I'm glad I can label my episode

Unknown: 00:08:02

explicitly. So that you know from the get go that yeah, it's

Unknown: 00:08:07

not for the soft spoken. Here, we want to get to the nitty

Unknown: 00:08:14

gritty. And we want to know that if you are on a path that

Unknown: 00:08:19

doesn't feel good. How you can get out of it gracefully. And

Unknown: 00:08:25

with emotional intelligence, and dedication to live a life that

Unknown: 00:08:30

is true to your self. Life is short, my dear. And I don't want

Unknown: 00:08:37

you to lay on your deathbed one day. And think about all the

Unknown: 00:08:41

stuff that you haven't done all the experiences that you didn't

Unknown: 00:08:45

have, because you were too shy and too scared. That's not what

Unknown: 00:08:51

we want to do. On our last day here on Earth. We want to

Unknown: 00:08:56

recount memories with big joy and big sorrow. And we want to I

Unknown: 00:09:03

think we all want a juicy life. But right now, especially after

Unknown: 00:09:09

COVID after having to isolate and you know, stay apart from

Unknown: 00:09:15

each other. I feel that a lot of us struggle to get back out

Unknown: 00:09:20

there. And to know like what feels good and what doesn't and

Unknown: 00:09:26

to find out okay, who do we want to hang out with and who do we

Unknown: 00:09:31

not want to hang out with? But there's a lot of shyness out

Unknown: 00:09:35

there. And people are very reserved when it comes to

Unknown: 00:09:39

meeting new people. And it's harming us. We are herd animals

Unknown: 00:09:47

and we need each other we need to feel a community around us

Unknown: 00:09:52

beyond close friends and family. And that is something that will

Unknown: 00:10:00

not be good for our mental and emotional health.

Unknown: 00:10:06

If it continues like that we need to learn to be curious

Unknown: 00:10:10

again, to be open and to not be driven by fear, but by

Unknown: 00:10:15

courageous, open hearted love, where we are consciously

Unknown: 00:10:22

extending our comfort zone. But at the same time we know it is

Unknown: 00:10:27

not dangerous, it is safe adventure. And we can check out

Unknown: 00:10:33

and set boundaries at any moment in time. So, I will leave you

Unknown: 00:10:39

with that and hope that I somehow hit home that it

Unknown: 00:10:46

resonates with you. I want to make sure that I deliver what

Unknown: 00:10:55

you need and want when it comes to emotional and mental health.
