Aurora Eggert Coaching

Hey there, and welcome to the Borealis experience. I’m

your host Aurora, and today and specially

excited to be recreating an episode for you.

I know, it’s been crazy this week, so many people reached out

to me and gave me feedback about this podcast. And I feel just

very, very touched. And feel like when I’m recording an

episode, I’m connecting with you at the same time.

And we have been going through a lot of stress here on the farm

in Canada at minus 40 degrees.

The water pipes froze. So for over a day now, I’m without

water. And to record this podcast just

gives me peace, and helps me to disconnect from Yeah, farm

stuff. So thank you so much.

Today, I got to thank you for this little time out here, I

hope you are in a good place, and can rest and relax into my

energy here. And if you’re not in a good place, I hope I can

lift you up, make you feel okay. And yeah,

might just be a phase or a shitty day.

So, having to live without water for a little while now really

teaches me

how much I was taking water for granted. imagine not being able

to wash your hands, you can’t even go to the bathroom because

you don’t want the house starting to stink.

Of course, you don’t have no water to drink.

You can’t wash your fruit, or vegetables.

Yeah, washing your hands has been the worst for me because of

COVID and wanting to be cautious. So it’s been very,

very interesting. And of course, taking a shower, washing your

hair is not possible either. So you rely heavily on not other

people, which is something I really, really dislike, to say

the least.

So today, it made me think what else am I taking for granted in

my life? And if it was gone from the one minute to the next.

What would I severely Miss or couldn’t live without? And I

think it’s very important to ask that question on a regular

because we tend to be so caught up with our daily lives with

watching the news and having opinions and judgments. And you

take the stuff that really gets you going that keeps you alive

for granted and are scattered all over the place.

Although it’s all right in front of you, but you don’t see it. So

what is it that you take for granted, and especially if

you’re having a shit day, it is always good practice to think

about everything we have the abundance we live in, in order

to pull ourselves out of that miserable place again.

So I want to start with meaningful connections that you

have.

Of course food and water is most important shelter and good

sleep. But on an emotional level.

What keeps us healthy is meaningful relationships. So if

you’re currently in a relationship, if you are

married, how grateful are you for your partner? Is it the

right match? And if yes, do you show them your appreciation,

your gratitude

and I don’t want this episode to be like too heavily focused on

gratitude, but more on taking for granted.

So the opposite

side of gratis gratitude. If you look at your partner, did you

have a meaningful conversation lately?

Did you really listen to them and put yourself into their

place? Maybe you are in a long term relationship, and they keep

having the same problems. They keep having

the same stuff they bring up. Maybe they’re naggy?

Is there something you can improve from your side? When it

comes to conversation? Can you maybe cut through the laggy

nagging, nagging? And see what is the deeper rooted cause of

the nagging?

Did you have a meaningful conversation lately, and if not,

I encourage you to have one and it doesn’t matter.

Really what it is about it can be about something in your

childhood, or

like the happiest day in your life, or whatever you’re

interested in. And maybe never asked your partner. So in order

to not make the other person feel taken for granted, a good

conversation can help to make you feel good about yourself,

too. and deepen the relationship.

Then, of course, water, how do you use water? in your life? Do

you just have a shower in the morning or in the evening? And

just make it quick and? and easy? Or do you actually

sometimes stand there, of course, without wasting tons of

water, but really relish in that feeling and know how rich you

are? Because you’re able to take a shower whenever you want,

maybe even a bath? Do you truly enjoy and feel pleasure? When

you have that water running down your water your body?

And then drinking drinking water? Do you truly enjoy having

clean water to drink? Or do you just toss it down? Because the

doctor said you have to hydrate? And you have to drink a little

more when you exercise? Do you like just crammed on your cram

hole? Or do you actually see how precious water is and in the

future, there’s not going to be wars over oil or gas, there’s

going to be wars over fresh water supplies.

And then food how grateful how much for granted? Do you take

your food on your plate? Can you next time you have something to

eat. Just picture how that piece of food. And hopefully it’s

something nice and nourishing and makes your tastebuds excited

how that food is being broken, broken down, sorry, into little

cells and those cells are going to run through your veins and

they’re going to energize you and

your body is going to create tissue out of it.

Everything you ate so far in your life, made up body cells

that you are carrying around and that you might be seeing in the

mirror when you look into the mirror in the morning. So when

you eat and are aware of how your body is going to process

that and turn it into your skin cell your liver cell or your

whatever cell

it is going to make you appreciate the food more and I

think it’s also on a subconscious level. Make you be

more mindful with how you pick your foods.

What else can we talk about when taking for granted? What about

transportation? Do you have a train and a bus out the door

that brings you to places where you want to go where you can go

during COVID What about a car if you own a car man You’re so red.

You can go on road trips when COVID is over you can experience

such freedom without even asked for permission and having to

show a passport if you travel within your country.

What else can we think about the fresh air? Yes, I just opened my

windows here before

recording this episode and to breathe in that ice cold fresh

air and to feel my lungs filling in with that beautiful gas that

is going to nourish my body selves to and to feel refreshed

and energized, energized and knowing that

All these trees out there are producing

oxygen for me to breathe in, and I’m producing co2 for them to

take in and then help them produce oxygen again. And how

beautiful is that. And when you picture that,

how grateful can we be to have all these trees and plants out

there that supply

such precious substances for us, I don’t know if you say

substance for oxygen, but I know you know what I mean.

So take that also not for granted, there’s so many people

and huge cities that have to wear masks on a daily because

the smoke is so bad, the air is so bad to breathe in. So take a

deep breath and exhale and know that if you’re having a shit

day, you can let that shit go now, and appreciate those very

simple things alive. But if you think about it, it is exactly

those things that keep us alive. And the more precious you look

at them even more precious you feel they are, the more your

body and your soul can take it in and make something good out

of it. And you can pull yourself out of your deep hole that you

might be sitting in. And if you are in a good place, it doesn’t

hurt either.

Another thing that I want to

not take for granted in my life is music.

Today, I had a very dark day and yesterday and I was listening to

A Tribe Called Quest I was listening to Queens of the Stone

Age, I was listening to The Notorious BIG

Biggie

and his album with featuring Frank Sinatra. And few find a

song if you find music that is really matching your mood. And

that really makes you indulge in that weird mood you’re in. It is

so healthy if you do that for a couple minutes or a couple hours

and then know that you can smile about that shitty face that

weird day you’re having. And just know that there’s more

people out there who go through days like that, and you’re not

alone. And music, I find a such a magical tool to uplift you to

make you feel understood. And

so if you have CDs, if you have music download,

listen more to your music, and maybe even dance.

Check you your booty or just sit on the couch. And yeah, listen

to what those awesome artists have to say.

Yeah, I think those were the points that I wanted to talk

about today. And those are things that we take for granted,

for sure. And if they’re gone from one day to the other

forever, then we first of all die. And second of all, our soul

might

diminish to a little piece of reason.

There might be way more things that you take for granted. And

then I haven’t been mentioning here and that should be

mentioned. But I’m sure my brain will come up with something new

regarding that topic soon. And I’ll just post it and spend

another episode

with you.

You will listen to the Borealis experience. Thank you so much

for letting me serve you. This way podcasting has become a huge

passion in my life. And I enjoy every minute every second.

I’m your host Aurora. And yeah, take really good care of

yourself. We need you out there. Bye bye.
