I write about what's 3 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: happening in the Weekly Hurdle newsletter this week. 4 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: It came out this morning, every single Friday. 5 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: If you don't get it just yet, the link to 6 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: subscribe is in the show notes. But coming back from 7 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, waking up in the morning has been hella 8 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: difficult for me. 9 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: Period. 10 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: Every day for the last three days, my alarm has 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: gone off at seven am and getting up feels absolutely impossible. 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: Now it makes me have an appreciation for all of 13 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: the people that are in my dms that say that 14 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: they feel as though it is impossible for them to 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: be a morning Now, if you are one of those people, 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: again in the Weekly Hurdle, I've got tips on how 17 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: you may be able to make it a habit, so 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: check that out. But what I'm here to talk about 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: today is how I have been accommodating the fact that 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: my body is craving later mornings. 21 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: I get it. 22 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: Some of you here seven am and you're like, that's 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: still hella early, and that's cool. But for me, as 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: someone who typically wakes up without an alarm between five 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: thirty and six. Waking up at seven drastically changes my 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: morning routine. But here's the thing. I refuse to be 27 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: stressed in the morning. It's just not how I want 28 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: to start my day. And so as much as I 29 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: love hitting the gym first thing after the coffee and 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: the journaling and the meditation and whatnot, I am craving 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: this week a slower way to start the day, and 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: so as a result, I have been hitting the gym 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: in the middle of the day. Today I did a 34 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: strength workout using my Future app. To learn more about 35 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: the Future app links in the show notes, you can 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: get a month absolutely free. 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: Think of it as a personal trainer in your pocket. 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: And seriously, this week, it makes me so grateful that 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: I know exactly what I want to do when I 40 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: want to show up. I digress. I've been working out 41 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: in the middle of the week future app today. Yesterday 42 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: I did a peloton workout. The day before I use 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: the Future app again and it has literally been a 44 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: meeting that I set with myself. Now I hear we 45 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: hear it all the time, right like mark it out 46 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: in your calendar. It makes it easier, but more so 47 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: than ever when I'm doing this movement in the middle 48 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: of the day. It truly feels like I only have 49 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: this X amount of time calendar block right And it's 50 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: been an interesting experiment. It's been something that I look 51 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: forward to in the middle of the day. I work 52 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: from home, and so for me to go down to 53 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: the gym in the same building, come back upstairs, maybe 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: rintse off really quick. I give myself a calendar block 55 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: that's about ten to fifteen minutes longer than the workout itself, 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: and then I get to it and that's it. And 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: so it feels super simple to say this, but when 58 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: you want something bad enough, when you know what your 59 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: why is, then you will make it a priority. And 60 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: for me, I know how I feel when I move 61 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: my body. I know that it makes me feel like 62 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: a better me. And to be real, I'm proud of 63 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: the fact that I'm figuring out a way to make 64 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: movement work for me instead of feeling like a slave 65 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: to the movement, if that makes sense. So I'm curious, 66 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: my listener prompt for you this week, what is going 67 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: on in your life? What's a habit right now that 68 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: you have in your routine that you feel like is 69 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: something you should be doing and not something you're doing 70 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: because you really enjoy it. 71 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: And is there a way to switch that up? 72 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: What is a habit in your routine right now that 73 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: you just do because you feel like you should be 74 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: doing it? And is there something more enjoyable that can 75 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: bring you more fulfillment, that feels more in line with 76 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: your values that you can bring into the mix. And 77 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: now a listener question. 78 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, It's Heather from Cincinnati, Ohio. First, I'm glad 79 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: that everybody agrees with me that Five Minute Friday are 80 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: amazing and hopefully we can help keep them going with 81 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: these questions. My staff know on Fridays I will walk 82 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: in with my tidbit of advice or thought for us 83 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: traveling into the weekend after listening to five Minute Friday. Anyways, 84 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 3: I my question is about the difference between therapist and 85 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 3: life coach. You have talked about using both to help 86 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: you and I had a wonderful therapist. She understood my backstory, 87 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: we got along great. She moved away, and I'm looking 88 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: to kind of restart, but now contemplating a life coach 89 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 3: since I also am looking at some restructuring. Our big 90 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: steps in my personal and professional Life Again, Thank you 91 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 3: for your content. 92 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: Heather, what's up? 93 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for calling in, and thanks so much 94 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: for telling me how much you love Five Minute Friday. 95 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: If you are listening to this and you also love 96 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: five Minute Friday, follow Heather's lead and send me a 97 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: voice message. Ask me a question to feature in an 98 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: upcoming episode. I'd love to answer it on the podcast. 99 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: And if for some reason it's been a little wonky lately, 100 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: not my fault. If you have an issue leaving a 101 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: voice message using the link in the show notes, you 102 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: can always message me a voice recording from your phone 103 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: via email over at Hello at Hurdle dot us. Now 104 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: to answer your question the difference between a life coach 105 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: and a therapist. 106 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: This is a popular question. 107 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: So therapy is a long term process in which a 108 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: client works with a healthcare professional to diagnose and resolve 109 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: problematic behaviors and feelings. Again, they work with you to 110 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: diagnose and resolve problematic behaviors and feelings. So, rather than 111 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: focusing on external circumstances, therapy looks inward and towards the 112 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: path to analyze the root cause of a client's biggest 113 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: challenges in the hope of creating a happier, more stable future. Now, 114 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: when it comes to life coaching, life coaches work with 115 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: clients to create a vision for their optimal future and 116 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: how to make that vision a reality. So think of 117 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: a life coach as someone who's really aimed at getting 118 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: you to where you want to be. A life coach 119 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: would work together with a client to identify personal and 120 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: professional goals, the obstacles standing in their way, and then 121 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: create an action plan to achieve their desired outcomes. Now, 122 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: where therapy and counseling focus primarily on the past and present, 123 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: life coaching again, it focuses almost entirely on the present 124 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: and future, and those are the biggest differences between life 125 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: coaching and therapy. It sounds like hoether you have a 126 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: lot of big changes coming up in your life, and 127 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: if you've worked extensively with a therapist, it might be beneficial 128 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: for you to try mixing it up and working with 129 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: a life coach, but you won't know until you try. Remember, 130 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: whether it's a therapist or a life coach, you have 131 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: the opportunity to quote unquote date around. You have no 132 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely no requirement to stick with someone after a 133 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: first consultation, So find the person that feels right for you. 134 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. Make sure you're following along 135 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: with hurdle over on social adhurdle podcast I am over 136 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: at Emily a body and a heads up.
