    Transcript:







    Betsy [00:00:05]:Welcome to the art of living. Big podcast. My name is Betsy Peik. 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.







    Betsy [00:00:32]:Is this thing on? How do I use this?







    Betsy [00:00:35]:Wait.







    Betsy [00:00:37]:Hello, fellow adventurers. Oh, my gosh. It’s been so long since I’ve been here. I hardly know what to do. And I got kind of nervous. Like when you first start dating somebody and then you’re going to go see them, and then you’re like, I’m kind of nervous, but I’m excited, too. That’s what it’s like. I haven’t been here in several months, which if you’ve been here for a long time, you know, that’s highly, highly unusual.







    Betsy [00:01:00]:I was consistent every single week with this podcast for seven years. And then last fall, I thought, I’m going to take a little break and do some searching. And I was sitting in meditation. I may have talked about that at the time, but I was really doing a lot of searching and decided to launch my program, the navigate method. Anyway, fast forward. It just took on a life of its own. And I kept thinking, I’m going to come back. I’m going to come back.







    Betsy [00:01:30]:And I think I tried around Christmas time and truly, truly the moments of silence that I have had. I would lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling, like, oh, my God, I just need a minute to breathe. So there have really been so few moments where I could even think about what I wanted to talk about or what I wanted to share. And I don’t want to waste your time. Anytime I do these podcasts, I want to make sure that it’s something that’s relevant and important to you and all the things. So if you’re new here, welcome. I’m excited that you’re here. If you found me through Instagram, I’m excited that you’re here.







    Betsy [00:02:09]:That algorithm was forever in my favor this fall, and I’m just really excited to be back. So here’s the thing. I’ve got a lot of stuff to share. And if you’ve been here for a long time, you know that there are times where I would do these coffee talk, like grab a cup of coffee, I’m going to just catch you up, sort of like we’re old friends, and I was trying to think about what do I talk about in this episode? Because it’s sort of like there’s so much to talk about. And then if I’m a good friend, I don’t want to be the only one talking. But since it’s just me, that’s kind.







    Betsy [00:02:45]:Of how it’s going to be.







    Betsy [00:02:46]:But I would love to hear from you and hear what has been up with you. I would love to hear what. If you have been a regular listener of this show and I wasn’t available, what did you listen to?







    Betsy [00:03:00]:I want to know kind of what.







    Betsy [00:03:01]:The go to has been. I want to know what books you’ve been reading. I want to know all the things. So with that said, let me just dive into all the things over here.







    Betsy [00:03:13]:And it’s been so long, I didn’t select the microphone.

    Welcome to the art of Living big podcast. My name is Betsy Peik. 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.







    Betsy [00:00:32]:Hello. Hi, fellow adventurers. So if you’re new here, I was thinking this during the last show. If you’re new here, I always say fellow adventurers, because I believe that we have chosen to come here on this big adventure, ups and downs and all of it. So welcome, fellow adventurers, to today’s show. I missed last week. I didn’t really miss. I am just handling a lot, and the thing that I am most focused on is keeping my energy intact. So I’m doing what I can while keeping my own energy totally full. And I highly recommend that because I am doing a lot of things and still feeling really good. So we are about to head into the holidays. I am taking a week off. It’s like a week in a day, right? Because New Year’s Day falls on Monday. So I will be back. I’m going to be out of the office Friday afternoon and then back on January 2. And I’m really looking forward to it. I am going to be fully present. I am going to be putting my phone away and focused where I am. And I’m just so excited. My daughter is moving. If you’ve been here for a little while, she lives near where I used to live, my old apartment, after I sold my house. And I moved into that apartment. And she lives not far from there because she works over there. Well, the place that she works has two locations, and the other location is right near my new house. Anyway, my new house is more in the city, right? It’s in Atlanta. And it’s so much more her speed. And I just kept telling her, you would love it here, you need to come. It’s maybe 10 miles, but it’s 30 minutes. Anyway, she’s moving. She’s moving right down the road. I mean, far enough away to have her own space, but close enough so it wouldn’t be a big deal to run over and get coffee or whatever. And I’m so, so excited about it. So it’s a season of really good, really good stuff. So today I wanted to talk a little bit about an idea that has been coming up. Like, as people have been messaging me, know, reaching out on Instagram or even inside the group. If you’re not inside the Facebook group, make sure to join the art of living. Big Facebook group. We’re really focused in there on relationships and how to shift. But the showing up for yourself is a theme in everything that I do, in all the work that I do. Okay, so I wanted to talk about this idea that, especially at the know, so many people were messaging me and they’re like, oh, my gosh, it’s the holiday. And I’m so excited, and there’s so much to do. There’s so much to do that I feel like I can’t even enjoy it. And then it’s gone, it’s done. And all I want to do is shut the door and not talk to anybody and just hide in the bathroom and be alone. And I think this is a really common thing. The magic of Christmas is really moms all over the place and some dads, too, right? But putting it all together, making it all work, doing the planning and the thinking, down to having enough magic tape and bows for the presents, to putting the Christmas tree together and making sure everybody’s stockings are filled. I mean, so much of that falls on our plates. And for a lot of us, we also still have work to do, right?

Now, let’s go live big.







    Betsy:







    Hello, fellow adventurers. It feels so funny to be back. It feels like. How does it feel? It feels sort of like when you haven’t seen a friend in a long time and you pull into the coffee shop and you’re like, oh, my gosh, that’s what it feels like. And also a little nervous. I’m a little nervous. Hi. Hi.







    Betsy:







    Welcome. Hi, everybody. Any new folks that are listening? Hello and welcome. I have been doing this show for seven years and I took a short hiatus. I don’t know, maybe like seven weeks or so. If it was seven weeks, that would be kind of cool because I’ve been doing this for seven years, but I’m so excited to be back and I’m so grateful for the time. I have to tell you, the first couple of weeks, I was like, this feels like such a release, like such a relief to not have to be thinking and coming up with stuff and really fitting the recording into my schedule because it had gotten really busy and so just having that space. But then the longer time went on, the more I was like, oh, I really want to come back.







    Betsy:







    I really want to connect with everybody and share some thoughts and things that are going on. So I have so many things to tell you and some magical, wild things to tell you, too. So if you’ve never been here before on the show or you’ve just listened to a few episodes, we’re a little sciency and a little believe in the magic of the spirit. So a little touch of both to kind of bring some balance into this experience. So, as I always say, take what works for you, discard the rest. I am on the journey with you and I am learning along the way. And so, so many of the stories and things that I bring to the show are really things that I have been learning, things that I’Ve been experiencing. All right, so let’s kind of dive in here.







    Betsy:







    I’m getting settled in my new house, so if you’ve been here for a little bit, you know, I bought a new old house, like almost a hundred year old house back in May. I moved in in June, and there was a million things to fix and do and I feel like I’m finally getting a little settled. Do you guys know who she did? I should look. Let me look. Hang on. Okay, so she’s a film producer, and she has made a lot of movies that you’ve loved, like the holiday father of the Bride. Okay, so when you think about that, you probably have the father of the bride like house in your mind, right? Or if you watched the holiday, did you guys ever watch that? It’s like one of my favorite Christmas movies, the Holiday. You remember the interiors of the houses.







    Betsy:







    So the holiday, they switch houses, right? It’s Cameron Diaz and whatever her name is. Sorry, but the point is the interiors. So as I have been putting my house together and I’m nowhere close, but I’m keeping Nancy Meyer’s aesthetic in. It’s actually. I kind of feel like maybe it’s starting to work. I’m typically not a super great decorator, but I do my best. So Google Nancy Meyer’s aesthetic and you’ll see what I mean.

Now, let’s go live big.







    Hello fellow adventurers. Hi, everyone. I have I have been thinking, I’ve been struggling like, what should I talk about this week? What’s the show gonna be about like every day, as they get closer to when I would be recording? I’m like, Why should I talk about? You know, I have had, I’ve had this podcast for seven years. I talked about this last year, we just finished our seventh year. And I’ve shared a lot of stuff. And I’m like, I feel like I’m starting to say the same things again, which I think one does, if you’re talking every week, for seven years. So I’ve been struggling with what am I going to talk about. And then last night, in the middle of the night, I woke up, you know how you wake up sometimes in your thinking some random thing. And I was thinking







    when I was in Iceland,







    when I went to Iceland,







    the one thing that made that experience really easy. This is a weird thing. But again, remember, I just woke up in the middle of the night and thought this, the thing that made it really easy was that the bed was so comfortable. Like every place we went, beds are like a big Nordic thing. They have these like thick pads on all beds, every Airbnb, I went to every hotel, and then they have tons of down pillows and comforters. I mean, every bed was like insanely comfortable. And I remember, at the time thinking like, This is so great, because every bed is so comfortable. I woke up thinking that was so great. Every bed was so comfortable.







    And then as I laid there, I thought when I went to get my Master Practitioner certification for NLP years ago, I went to Philadelphia, and I stayed in an Airbnb with a few other girls. And the bed that I had was so terrible. And I’m not even like it’s not like it’s kind of uncomfortable, like it was almost an livable, they had like this super thin comforter, and I ended up sleeping on top of the comforter just to have padding. And it was it was so much better. Okay, so that’s how bad it was. So in the middle of the night, I wake up and I’m thinking, you know, Iceland, I appreciated that so much. Those were the most comfortable beds. And then I thought, remember those terrible beds in Philadelphia.







    Those were awful. And it occurred to me, even though we hear this all the time, and we say this all the time. But it occurred to me that I appreciated the beds in Iceland so much more. Because I had such a terrible experience with the Airbnb beds when I was in Philadelphia. Now,







    those were years apart. They weren’t close together. But because I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about it, which is when our unconscious mind is doing its sifting and sorting and weeding out and showing us things and making things obvious to us. You know, you’ve probably heard me talk before, about to about before you go to bed, writing a problem on a pad of paper,

    Hello fellow adventurers. Hi, everybody.







    Welcome, welcome. Welcome. So a few days ago, I was looking something up in my, in my journal. So I’ve talked about how I use an app for my journaling app that I’ve used for years and years and years. It’s called day one. And the cool thing is, is that it shows you like on this day, 10 years ago, on this day, two years ago, whatever it shows you all of that, and I was looking and I was like, Oh my gosh, it’s been seven years since we started the podcast. I, every year I forget. And then it’s like October, and I’m like, oh my god, I missed September. But it has been seven years since we’ve been here together. And so I wanted to take at least a second just to celebrate, that is the most consistent thing I’ve ever done in my life.







    Oh my gosh, it’s lasted longer than lots of things. And so um, you know, I wrote a post on my Facebook and in an Instagram and I had posted the four covers that we’ve had over the years. And it’s funny, because







    you know, this has been such a journey for me of sharing. And I know a lot of you have been here, like the whole time. And those covers when I look at them. I’m like, Oh, I remember what was going on, you know, it’s sort of like, when a season felt complete, then a new me was emerging and a new cover needed to emerge to so I started out with this picture of me kind of looking off to the side. And I think it’s so interesting, because at that time, I really wanted to start the podcast, and how I started it was interviewing people. So not coming straight on, coming from the side, right where I would interview people like the first 50 episodes, were strictly interviews, and I still interview people from time to time, but not in that way. And so like almost a full year. And I was thinking about it. And I was like it’s really







    sometimes we have this idea of what we want to do. And the LEAP feels really big. But there can be a step in between. And I think that that doing those interviews was that step for me. And then I moved into just about every episode where I was talking or sharing or teaching something. And then there’s a next cover, which is like a black and white cover where you only see half my face. And that is the time where my daughter started getting sick. Like as I was looking at it, I was like, that’s such an interesting cover, I took that photo of myself. And again, like, I can’t, you can’t see all of me because there’s this thing that I can’t really tell you about. And you know, as we navigated that and over the years, then there’s this next cover, right, so there was a cover in between that’s not in the post that I did. But there’s this cover that’s like me sitting I think in the middle of the road.







    Just Zen and I think that that’s where I was chaos can be happening around me. It may look like there is disruption, but all is well. And then there’s a cover where I am holding a cup of coffee, just like it’s a cream background,

Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everyone. Welcome fellow adventurers. Hi, I hope you’re having a good week. I missed last week, I wanted to do today’s episode and tell you about a little experiment that I’m doing. And it kind of feeds into last week. I sometimes I start these episodes, and I’m like, this isn’t going to be very long. And watch this be like a 45 minute one, but I don’t think this one’s going to be very long. So if you’ve been here for a little while, you have heard the episode with my daughter that I think now was recorded, you know, maybe two years ago. And we talked about some of her mental health issues that she shared. And she wanted to come on the show. If you listen to that episode, you’ll hear I was hesitant to have her on. But she is an adult and she wanted to talk about it. And I think it’s really great to destigmatize mental health, right, and mental health issues. So this week has been really hard. This has been really, really hard. And I decided that I was going to be as how do i i want to say joyful. And I know that sounds like a really strange word to use. But one of the things that I learned when I got COVID, back in July, and I don’t know if you remember me saying like, I felt so good when I came out of it. Like, I felt better than I’d felt in years. In years. Years and years and years, I felt this surge of energy. And I felt this, like incredible sense of enjoyment and happiness around the work that I do. And I’ve started showing up differently on social media in places where I would create content, like I just felt so good. And I realized in that that a component of me not feeling good. Why I had such contrast was because I have been pushing a lot. And you know, I talk about being in the moment and being in now and flowing through things. And I feel like I do a really good job with that. I also feel like I have a list of things that I’m trying to accomplish. And I approach that list of things, very corporate tea, right, like there is a list and there is a date that that has to be done. And come hell or high water, that thing has to be accomplished and checked off the list. And, you know, I think it has led me to realize that sometimes I was doing things that didn’t totally feel aligned or didn’t feel good while I was doing them. But in the end, I was happy to have done them. Like I was happy to have crossed the task off the list. But when I’m laying there during COVID, and I’m so sick, I can’t do anything. And I’m thinking about my list. And I’m thinking I don’t have to do it. And it was this recognition or this moment of like, I have been thinking I have to do that in order to get the outcome. But when I look back, most of the things where I really was pushing and not enjoying but like pushing to finish or to meet the deadline self imposed deadline, those things didn’t turn out the way I had anticipated. They didn’t really turn out that good. In fact many of them I just like abandon was like oh,

Betsy’s podcast was sent to me!

I am so glad that my friend sent me Betsy’s podcast. The first podcast I listen to this #355 about complaining. What a wealth of information and lots of meat! I love the ladder example because it’s some thing I can understand from my tangible world to help me understand my unconscious world.Thank you Betsy for the work you’re doing in the world!
