So where I'm at physically, 38 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 2: I am still in this apartment. 39 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: You know I was. I was messaging a friend earlier today. 40 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: It's it's a hard time because so many of us 41 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: want to get on with our lives right. We want 42 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 2: to see our friends, see our family, do all these 43 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: different things. We've been in a global pandemic since March, 44 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: and it's frustrating for me to watch people live their 45 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: lives completely as though nothing's going on. I feel as 46 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: though some of these behaviors are definitely impacted by where 47 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: your geographic location might be. Being in a major city, 48 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 2: I can confidently say that a lot of us have 49 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 2: been taking the coronavirus pandemic very very seriously. And so 50 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: while now I might be able to see people I 51 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: care about more regularly in a safe and socially distant way, 52 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: I'm not traveling like I used to, I'm not galllevanting 53 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: like I used to, and it's hard for me to 54 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: see other people that are doing that. Okay, small coronavirus 55 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: related rant done. I think I'm just really paranoid at 56 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: the moment that we might go back into the way 57 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: that things were in April and the beginning of May, 58 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: and so I'm just, you know, manifesting positivity, trying to 59 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: keep my attitude upbeat and push forward and to be real, 60 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: I think that's kind of how I have been approaching 61 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: a lot of things in my life lately. I am 62 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: grateful because from an athletic point of view, I have 63 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: been kind of performing better and feeling better than I 64 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: have in a really long time, and of course when 65 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: you say sentences like that, something always tends to pop up. 66 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: So at the beginning of this week, I want to 67 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: say I sprained my toe, which sounds like such a silly, 68 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: little insignificant thing, but I sprang my toe, and I 69 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: noticed about late in the afternoon on Monday that it 70 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: started to bother me, and that was weird. I talked 71 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: to my friend that's an orthopedic surgeon at Yale, and 72 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: she said that she really didn't think that my toe 73 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: injury of sorts had anything to do with my recent 74 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: activity outside of maybe hitting it on something, because the 75 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: sprain came out of nowhere days after I had been active. Anyway, 76 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 2: I'm sitting in my apartment on Tuesday morning, after springing, springing, 77 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: springing my toe on Monday, and I have one of 78 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: those moments that if you've ever been injured, you know 79 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: it so well. You're sitting there and you're wondering what 80 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: you're capable of, and you're starting to get a little frustrated, 81 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: and I just shook it before it even got to 82 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: the point where it could grab a hold of me. 83 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: And I sat there and I took a deep breath, 84 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 2: and I said to myself that you have the power 85 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 2: to choose optimism, to stay positive, to move forward and 86 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 2: focus on the things that you can control instead of 87 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: freaking out about the littlest things that you cannot. And 88 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: so that's what I did. I went on a nice, 89 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: calm bike ride, didn't irritate my toe at all, and 90 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: went to my favorite coffee spot, and just as the 91 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: you know, the hours and the days went by this week, 92 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: I got more to a place of gratitude and less 93 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: to a place of anger. This little thing, like many 94 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: of the things, the hurdles that we deal with during 95 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: our day to day, it comes, it came, it will go. 96 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 2: I will move forward. And that's that again. I feel 97 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: like this attitude, this it's gonna be okay, Breathe through it. 98 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: Mentality. 99 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: I've been really leaning into it a lot lately, whether 100 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: it's with a lot of deadlines or trying to figure 101 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: out the best way to communicate effectively with my audience, 102 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: whether it's in my personal relationships and my professional relationships. 103 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: I am just at a point now after another three months, 104 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: where I'm excited about the opportunity and not letting the 105 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: hurdles be the reason that I I get overly worked 106 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: up or down on myself. I'm really focusing on the positives. 107 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: I'm focusing on the growth, and I'm remembering that with 108 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: hard work and time, you will see the positive fruits 109 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: of your labor.
