338: Proof of life

When Olive goes out with friends I’ll text her (even though she is a grown person who doesn’t live with me 😬 ) “Proof of Life”…. and then once she gives me a thumbs up, I feel like I can go to bed and sleep okay. I started thinking about this last week with the anniversary of my mom dying…. she can’t ask me “proof of life” but if I asked myself, How would I know? How would I know I’m REALLY living? I talk about it on today’s show. Listen in! Transcription: Welcome to the Art of Living big podcast. My name is Betsy pake. I’m an author, a speaker and a trainer of NLP and hypnotherapy. And I’m focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of the subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big doubt and they are like changing out the carpet or something. Oh my god, I swear. But I think it’s I think it’s good. I think we’ll be okay. I got a lot to I got a lot to talk about today. So like we got to get going. So, welcome to the show. If you’re new here. Hi. Thanks for being here with all these other fellow adventurers. Every once in a while, I like to explain what I mean by fellow adventurers. But I believe that we are here as pieces of source or spirit beings, levels of consciousness that have come into this physical experience to have an adventure. So the ups and the downs, we are all about it. We love the feelings and emotions, because that’s part of the whole experience. So welcome, welcome, welcome. Okay. First of all, this past week, April was here, if you guys know April is who I call the magical unicorn that works with me. She was on the show, sometime maybe last month, when we did the AMA episode. But April came in from Las Vegas, we were here together like three days, and just really did a ton of organization and planning and all kinds of stuff. It was so good. And at one point, I was like, you know, we were talking about social media and planning. And I was like, I’ve talked about on the show, before of whooped, openly talked about how sometimes I have like a cramp about social media. Like I don’t want to do the things that don’t feel like me, you know what I mean? And so I’m finding my balance in that has been something where I’ve had to avoid, I’m going to say avoid, I’m going to look away from what I should like, quote, unquote, be doing should be doing. And I’m just doing the things that feel aligned, even though it might not be what you’re supposed to do. Anyway, I feel like my engagements gone up, I feel like it’s working because it feels way more aligned. And I’ve noticed this since I have stopped resisting the idea of doing other things starts to feel so much better, right? So we were getting ideas for reals, that actually felt fun. Instead of like, I don’t want to do a skit or dance and point at things. It was like something else, which I want to pause for a second and say if you do skits on reels, or you dance and point at things on reels, I love that I watch those. I am not saying anything about people that do those. I’m just saying for me. As a 51 year old, it doesn’t feel like doesn’t feel aligning, whether it has anything to do with my age or not, I don’t know. But I’ve had 51 years of experience, and I know what feels good in my body and what doesn’t, and that doesn’t, but I love it if it feels good for you, especially if you’re like having fun, go have fun. So, but in all that April and I were talking,
