085: A New Kind of ‘To-do’ List To Manifest Your Big Life

This week I share a clarifying process for your desires and how to release your stress and anxiety about what’s to come. It’s a new way to do your ‘to-do’ list and it has helped me tremendously this week as I’ve been sick.  I hope that it serves you too. This episode is great for anyone who feels overwhelmed or wishes they could release the grip they feel on their future and perhaps some negative feelings surrounding what’s ahead.  I hope that it serves you and gives you a new way to look at your life. Transcript: Welcome to the art of living day. I’m your host, Betsy Pake. And this podcast is designed to share interviews and new ideas to help you redefine what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hey, everybody, welcome to the show. All right. So I want to talk to you this week, about another way to help you narrow down your focus and identify your big life. And I kind of came upon this this past weekend, it’s been really helpful for me, so I wanted to share it with you. As I’m recording this, it has been so nice in Atlanta, like, I feel like spring is coming. So my windows are open. And there are a lot of really, really loud birds out there. So I’m not sure if you can hear them. But if you hear some squawking in the background, is me enjoying nature? Will I will I record this episode for you? Now, this week, I’ve been sick, my daughter has been sick for like a week and a half probably. And, you know, I feel like we keep hearing how everybody’s sick, right? I mean, everybody has the flu, we hear that on the news, like constantly. And so I kept saying, I’m not gonna get sick, because I don’t get sick. Other people could get sick around me, and I just never get sick. I kept saying that, and it was coming true. And now we talk on the show a lot about manifesting our reality. And so I felt like it was really important that I stay focused on my wellness, that I talk about how good I feel and how energetic I am and how I never get sick and how strong my immune system is. And so that’s what I did. But as my daughter started getting more and more sick, and she started to feel like her throat really hurt, I was like, oh, we’re gonna have to go to the doctor, if your throat really hurts, we’re gonna have to, we’re gonna have to see a doctor and make sure you don’t have strap or something else, right. And I felt like she just had a cold, so I wasn’t super concerned. But by Sunday afternoon, she was feeling really funky. So I said Monday morning, if you still don’t feel good, then I’m going to bring you to the doctor. So Monday morning came? You know, it was hard to tell like, are you just have a really bad cold? Or is it something else? And she’s a teenager. So I mean, you know, she can talk and explain how things are feeling. But it’s also still nice to get out of school when you’re a teenager, right? So I was trying to really identify like, Is she really sick. And so I said to her, I said these words, and I remember the words coming out of my mouth and feeling them so much. So I said to her, I don’t want to bring you to the doctor if you just have a cold. Because if we go to the doctor, we’re going to expose ourselves to all the germs at the doctor’s office, like all the other kids that are really, really sick. All the kids have the flu that are going to the doctors, we’re going to expose ourselves to those germs. So I don’t want to go to the doctor and expose ourselves if we don’t have to. But she was sick. And so we went to the doctor. And it was hours of me being at the doctor where I got sick now.
