So for this week, 18 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm talking about something that I feel like a lot 19 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: of other people feel right now but may not be 20 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: so vocal about it. Listen, things are crazy right now. 21 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: They're chaotic. We are all living in this state of 22 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: ambient anxiety. But it's hard not to think about what 23 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: was supposed to be. I am on day ten of 24 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: not running. I went out for a jaunt ten days ago, 25 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: and toward the end of the run, I had a 26 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: pain that felt so debilitating and uncomfortable on my left 27 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: side near my hip that I had to stop. With 28 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: about a mile left to my house. I walked, and 29 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: I was beside myself, knowing that finally, after this pain 30 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: had come and gone for the last few months, that 31 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: it was about time I really gave my body some rest. Now. 32 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: The last thing that anyone wants to deal with during 33 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: a pandemic, again, when we're feeling anxious and we're staying 34 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: inside for the most part, and when running is your 35 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: coping mechanism, is that you cannot run. So while no 36 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: one told me I couldn't run, I knew and I 37 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: know that it is important, so important to give my 38 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: body some rest. Now I can't help but think and 39 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: all of this. That next week. I was supposed to 40 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: be heading to London. Next week, I was going to 41 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: be gearing up for what would be my ninth marathon. 42 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: And if this all wasn't happening, if I was still 43 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: heading across the pond to log those twenty six point 44 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: two miles and run over Tower Bridge and experience that 45 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: great city in a new way. I would probably just 46 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: be sucking up this hip thing and pretending it wasn't 47 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: an issue. You know me, I'm pretty upfront with what's 48 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: going on with my life, especially on social media, and 49 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: this hip thing has been something that I haven't really 50 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: talked a lot about. And that's because it just feels 51 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: right now like there are so many more important things. 52 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: So many individuals are dealing with hard stuff, losing loved 53 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: ones to this awful virus. Who am I to speak 54 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: up when otherwise I am completely healthy? But the thing 55 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: is is that just because all of this is happening 56 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that how I feel isn't valid, And that's 57 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: really important. Right now, I'm going to be okay, But 58 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: I guess I'm just telling you all of this so 59 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: that you know, if there's something you're frustrated with, something 60 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: that was supposed to happen. Things were supposed to be 61 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: some kind of way. It's okay to feel frustrated as 62 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: long as you keep it in perspective, which brings about 63 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: this week's prompt. This week's thought provoking question, what is 64 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: it that you're really grateful for right now? Again, what 65 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,559 Speaker 1: is it that you are really grateful for right now? 66 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be something huge, because when I 67 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: feel myself getting sucked into that this isn't how it 68 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: was supposed to be feeling. I take a step back 69 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: and I asked my myself, what are you grateful for? 70 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: What can you be thankful for? What is it that 71 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: brings me joy every single day? This whole story appropriate 72 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: to lead us into my content pics for the week. 73 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: First off, an unbelievably written article by a good friend 74 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: of mine, Kate for Tempo Journal on her good friend 75 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: Elliot Kipchogi. Many of you know him to be one 76 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: of the best runners of all time, and he was 77 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: set to run London as well, even if running is 78 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: not your thing. Again, her words are just so well 79 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: strung together and it reads like poetry, and it is 80 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: absolutely remarkable and just a reminder. All of these content 81 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: picks they are in the show notes in the link 82 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: with the description to this episode if you're looking for 83 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: a good movie to watch, Thanks to those of you 84 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: that threw me suggestions. The other night for my personal 85 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: movie night with Popcorn included, I sat down and watched 86 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: The Gentleman with Matthew McConaughey, and I thought it was excellent. 87 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: I also have been having a personal pizza night on 88 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: Fridays and I could not be more excited because I 89 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: have purchased and acquired received Emily the cookbook. There's an 90 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: amazing pizza spot here in New York City. It's called Emily. 91 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: Obviously I have a soft spot for it. Tonight, I 92 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: am going to be making their signature Emily Pizza. It's 93 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: got crushed pistachios and honey and like four or five 94 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: different types of cheeses, and I could not be more stoked. 95 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: So the cookbook is a content recommendation, but if you 96 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,559 Speaker 1: are getting into the kitchen now, it is a great 97 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: time just to play around and try new things. And 98 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: for me, that new thing is pizza Fridays from scratch. 99 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: Two more things to highlight. First of all, the content 100 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: that is over on self dot com right now is 101 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: absolutely remarkable. I think a lot of brands are trying 102 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: to figure out how to create smart content that's informative 103 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: and really has some great service. So kudos to the 104 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: edit team there on smart really excellent reads like how 105 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: to tell if your Shortness of breath is from anxiety 106 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: or coronavirus. Literally, I've been asking myself that every single day. 107 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: How to shop for groceries while protecting yourself from coronavirus. 108 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: What it's like to be a crisis text counselor right now, 109 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: what it means to be a black health editor during 110 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: this pandemic.
