1 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Emily A Badi here, you are listening to 2 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: five Minute Friday from Hurdle. I am in a good 3 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: mood this week, and I want to encourage you to 4 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: ask yourself what it is that you're after. Why I 5 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: am saying that is that I know so many times 6 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: on the show before I have said the sentiment. I've 7 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: shared this thought that energy attracts like energy. And on 8 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: a week that is commercialized to be all about love, 9 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: as a single woman, it could be easy to feel 10 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: some kind of way about it, and that's understand but 11 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: I have had the best week and I firmly believe 12 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: it is because I am exuding love. I once sat 13 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: down with Brendan Collinsworth. He was working with Core Power 14 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: at the time, helping to develop their first new program 15 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: in quite some time, previously a Nike trainer, such a 16 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: sweet guy, and he said something that really resonated with me, 17 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: which was that if you want love, you must be love. 18 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: And in approaching my week this way, I really was 19 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: met with so much goodness. I don't just mean by 20 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: my friends and my family and the people that I 21 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: see all the time, but by complete strangers on the subway, 22 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: at the donut shop where I ran to on Tuesday. 23 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: In my inbox, unexpected opportunities popping in multiples. Candidly, I 24 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: just felt like, because I was approaching my day to 25 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: day this week with an optimistic attitude, that I was 26 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: being met by the universe with good things. And that's 27 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: not to say that every day it's easy to wake 28 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: up and choose positivity and light, of course not. However, 29 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: if you remind yourself that you have that opportunity, that 30 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: it is available to you, even in the moments when 31 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: it might not feel that way, you may just be 32 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: surprised with how the universe and how the world shows 33 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: up for you in return. Earlier, I was on the 34 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: phone and I said a sentence that I haven't said 35 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: in months. I said, I feel really good in my 36 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: body right now. And I don't just mean like in 37 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: general with how my body feels, but with the injuries 38 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: that I've dealt with for so long. This week I 39 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: went on multiple runs and I haven't thought about my 40 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: mee at all. And I say this two weeks out 41 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: from a marathon, and I believe that it is caused 42 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: by the fact that I am choosing where I want 43 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: to be in this space. I don't want to sit 44 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: in this woe is Me space. I don't want to 45 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: sit in this victim mindset. I want to be in 46 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: a place where not only I feel in control, but 47 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: I have immense amounts of gratitude for what my body 48 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: has empowered me to do, even in the moments where 49 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: it hasn't operated as I've wished. Right right now, I 50 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: feel content and I'm not focused on the things that 51 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: I am without, but rather on the goodness that I 52 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: am with that I do have. And so my problem 53 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: for you this week is what's one highlight from your 54 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: past twenty four hours? I literally answer this question every 55 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: single day in a notebook when I journal, after I 56 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: do my breath work in the morning, and by doing so, 57 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: and I've shared this on the show before, it enables 58 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: me and empowers me to reflect on the past day 59 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: and be more present and think about the good. And so, 60 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: maybe you're not at the place right now where you 61 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: feel like you can get on this positive mindset train, 62 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: and that's okay, but it starts small. And so, what 63 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: is one good thing that you can highlight from the 64 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,119 Speaker 1: past twenty four hours? Where's your gratitude at? And now 65 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: a listener question. 66 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: Hey, Emily, this is Janet, longtime listener. I know you 67 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: do so many different types of projects and you're such 68 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, but I was wondering of all the projects 69 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: that you do most recently, in which ones do you 70 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: feel the most creative? And like are your biggest creative outlets? 71 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: Hey Janet, Oh, this is a good one. Okay, When 72 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: do I feel my most creative? Generally speaking, I have 73 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities to feel creative in the work 74 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: that I do, And there are two airs specifically that 75 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: I feel my most creative, and both of them involve brainstorming. 76 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: So the first one is on my bi weekly call 77 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: that I have with Chelsea, my assistant. We brainstorm upcoming 78 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: content and things for the show, and in that meeting 79 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: I love how we get to flex those creativity muscles. 80 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: And then the other moments that I feel the most 81 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: freely creative are probably the ones where I am concepting 82 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: or pitching brands on ways that we can collaborate. And 83 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: so what that might look like is I am working 84 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: with Adidas on things for the Boston Marathon, and I 85 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: know what their objectives are, and then I think about 86 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: what within my skill set I could bring to the 87 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: table to make that experience great for not only the 88 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: customer the individuals that they're trying to engage, but also 89 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: for my audience as well. I hear those words come 90 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: out of my mouth and it's fun for me because 91 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: I never took marketing or marketing classes in college. Yet 92 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: so much of what I do now for the show, 93 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: for the offerings that I've created, for the lane that 94 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: I've carved for myself, is within that wheelhouse, and it's fun. 95 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm constantly learning, I'm constantly evolving, and it really does 96 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: keep things interesting. Make sure your following the show over 97 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: on social It's at Hurdle Podcast.
