Listen to todays episode here…. Transcript: Welcome to The Art of Living big podcast. My name is Betsy Pake, and I’m an author, speaker and a master mindset coach focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of your subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hello fellow adventurers. Welcome to today’s show. I am excited today to talk about step two. So if you listened last week, I talked about step one, I’m going to recap that just a little bit. But you’re welcome to pause this and go back to that episode and listen there first, so that it all makes a little bit more sense. But before we get started, I wanted to let you know that I recently recorded an episode for an online retreat. And it is a reinvention retreat, it’s this woman put together this really incredible event to bring together 10 or 11. You know, coaches thought leaders, people that are authors and, and interviewing them and sharing just some really incredible things to help you move forward in your life. And I just trying to think the best way, here’s how you can get there. So the link is kind of one of those links that might not be super easy for me to give you over the over the podcast. But anywhere on my social media, Instagram, on my public Facebook page, there is a link that has all of that if you click on it, it’ll give you four or five different things that I’m up to right now. But it’ll be the very first thing that’s listening, let’s list it. And it will say like, click here to register. It’s a free event. And if you are on my my email list, you will get an email about it. But go ahead and click the link get signed up.

And she’s just got a really cool lineup. So I was really honored to be part of it. I would love for you to listen to my episode, and see what you think so Alright, so let’s get into step two. So last week, we talked about step one, which is Abraham Hicks, if you’re not familiar with Abraham Hicks, you can go back to episode I think it’s like 7071, I talk about Abraham Hicks. The step one is contrast. So the whole idea behind step one is that every day, all day long, we’re experiencing contrast, things that we don’t like things that we do like. And our only job in this step is to notice the contrast and shift to what we do want. So I noticed, you know, I noticed that I stubbed my toe, and I don’t like that so I can shift my thoughts to it feels really good to have my other foot feel really healthy, right? I want to feel really healthy. I use the example in last week’s episode of granola, I bought two different kinds of granola. I tried one of them, and I didn’t like it. And so I just shifted my thought to next time I’m going to use this other granola. Here’s the problem is that so many times when it’s something bigger than stubbing your toe or getting granola, what do you do is you get really, really focused on the thing you don’t want, and you create a lot of momentum behind it, right? So my boss sent me a jerky email. So instead of shifting and saying this is giving me perspective on what I would do as a boss, or I can see that my boss has some pain that he’s not ...
