093: Becoming Impatient in Manifesting Your Big Life: Mini-Edition

Ah, Impatience! Something we all struggle with from time to time, and if you’ve got big dreams it can be even more annoying. There are times when things move slower than you may want. I tend to think that all things are happening at the right time at the right pace and it is matching my development and growth.  But it’s still a struggle!  In today’s episode, I share a practice I use with my clients to refocus and help ease the mental struggle of the process. I hope that it serves you! 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, we are doing our next edition of the mini Additions for this week. So this has been really fun. What I’ve been doing is just sharing a process or a question that commonly comes up with my one on one clients. So everybody’s issues and challenges are specific to them. But there’s generally an underlying theme, and something as humans we all just struggle with. And so I wanted to take this week to share five of those common themes that I see with my one on one clients. So today, I want to talk to you about getting impatient on manifesting your big life. Now, if you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know, the big life is sort of a theme with me, I have a book called start small, live big. And of course, the podcast is the art of living big. And living big is not living perfectly or living like a Kardashian life for whatever that means. It’s not this outstanding, perfect life, but it’s what feels good for you right then, right now in this time of your life. So there are times in my life where living big feels getting to go and talk to a couple hundred people on stage and share my message. And sometimes living big for me feels like having everybody together at the dinner table to have dinner during the week. So living big is really the point where you feel joy. And many times if we’re working towards a specific goal, or an outcome that we want for our life, we can tend to get really impatient, we can start to think like, why is this taking so long? Why is this? Why isn’t this working out the way that I want. And this is something that I see in my life to where there’s something that I’m working on or a goal that I have, and it’s taking so dang long. You know, I saw this a lot with my coaching clients when I coached just specifically with my precision nutrition and my nutrition clients. And so that’s sort of a good example, because it’s something most of us can relate to. But when you’re working so hard, you’re focused on your food, you’re exercising, you’re doing all these things. But then you keep jumping on the scale and comparing and saying why isn’t it working? Why isn’t it working? Why isn’t it working. And so using that example, I just want to say maybe it is working, but you’re measuring the wrong things. And so let’s back that up and take that into our lives for something else that maybe you’re working on. Maybe you’re working on a specific project at work, or you’re working on creating a really wonderful relationship with your partner. Or maybe you’re looking at finding a partner or whatever that is for you. But you’re starting to feel like this is never gonna happen. Like, why is this not working? I’m doing all the right things, why is it not working? And so what I would say when I work with my one on one clients is maybe you’re just looking at the wrong things. So how else could we focus on what’s working and how things are coming toge...
