1 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: Hang Hudlers. It's me Emily popping in with a little 2 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: experiment of sorts. I am trying to think about what 3 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: the best way is to connect with everyone during whatever 4 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: is going on right now, and so I am trying, 5 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: at least for now, five minute Fridays. It's a term 6 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard used by other content creators before, 7 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: and for me, the purpose of this segment is really 8 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: just to check in, to give you a story, to 9 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: offer you a thought provoking prompt, to share with you 10 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: the content that's really resonated with me this week, whether 11 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: that's podcasts or books or things on social media, and 12 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: leave you with a quote that really impacted me, to 13 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: take you into the weekend. Obviously, you are listening to 14 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: me right now, but I want this to be a conversation. 15 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: So when you're done listening today, I want to hear 16 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: what you think. Is this something that you like, is 17 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: this something that's helpful. I don't know what's going on here. 18 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: I feel like none of us do, but I'm just 19 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: navigating this the best I can. So starting with a story. 20 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: Last night, I was sitting on my fire escape listening 21 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: to John Legend's Instagram live video. He did, which I 22 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: think was titled Together at Home, and he was doing 23 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: a little concert with his little family at their home piano, 24 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: and I was sitting there enjoying it. Especially oh I 25 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: died when he went into tailor as old as time 26 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: from beating the beast. I digress. I'm sitting there and 27 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: I have this thought, I haven't facetimeed my mom tonight. 28 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: Granted like I facetimed her earlier in the day, but wow, 29 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: and I realize in that moment, before this whole thing, 30 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: I would go days sometimes without talking to my parents, 31 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: maybe just because things got busy or work got in 32 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: the way. And how special is it that I took notice, Hey, 33 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: you haven't connected with your family, Hey, you should check in. 34 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: It was a little alarming, but also really special that 35 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: I had that realization right that I'm taking this time 36 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: to invest in my relationships and check in on my people. 37 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: And I'm really thankful for that. And so the prompt 38 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: for this five Minute Friday this week is who is 39 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: it that you want to reconnect with? I think a 40 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: lot of the time, when it comes to relationships that 41 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: maybe have fallen off a little bit, it can be 42 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of a pride thing, or maybe there 43 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: was a specific instance or incident that happened that made 44 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: you fall back from a certain situation. But right now 45 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: is a really great opportunity to reconnect. Maybe that involves 46 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: you offering an apology, Maybe that involves you going outside 47 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: of your comfort zone, but why not now? So again 48 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: the prompt, who is it that you want to take 49 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: this time to reconnect with and what is it that 50 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: you want to tell them? Maybe writing this down it's 51 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: the first step, and you need to let that sink 52 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: in a little bit and then you can actually make 53 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: that reach out, that connection all right now. My content 54 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: picks of the week, my highlights of the week. Headspace. 55 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: Headspace is doing some really awesome stuff right now for 56 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: both paid and free users. They are offering up a 57 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: set of meditations they call these packs on Weathering the Storm. 58 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: And one of my favorite components to their Weathering the 59 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: Storm pack is this walking at Home set of meditations 60 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: and basically Andy Puticolen, the co founder of Headspace, he's 61 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: been on the podcast. A link to his episode in 62 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: the show notes here. He talks to you through an 63 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: exercise where you're just leisurely strolling through your space, and 64 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: I think that's a really effective way to get people 65 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: who may not feel like they can just sit with 66 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: their thoughts and do meditation well quote unquote, to open 67 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: up to this idea of working with the mind and 68 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: moving while you meditate. And so I really really liked 69 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: the walking at Home and I suggest that you take 70 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: a listen to it. Another highlight of my week a 71 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: song of the week. I cannot stop listening to The 72 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: Key by Madison Ryan Ward. My book of the Week 73 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: is The One Thing That Is by Gary Keller with 74 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: Jay Papasan. I'm probably saying that wrong, and I think 75 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 1: right now more than ever, this idea of doing one 76 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: thing at a time when we feel sporadic and you 77 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: want to clean your apartment, you want to sit down 78 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: at your computer, you want to get work done, you 79 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: want to connect with your friends. It feels like we 80 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: have nothing but time, but there's still not enough of it. 81 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Focusing in on one specific task at each moment, it 82 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: allows us to really give all of our energy to 83 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: that one thing and to do that one thing well. 84 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the author talks about in this book. 85 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: So I highly recommend it. And last, the quote of 86 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: the Week comes from the class. It's a workout method 87 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: created here by Taren Toomey in Tribeca in New York City. 88 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: I've been doing one every morning in their live digital studio, 89 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: and on Wednesday, I believe I took a class by 90 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: my friend Natalie Kuhn, and she said, if there is 91 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: anything that you let die in this whole fucking thing, 92 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: it's your old story that really impacted me. I don't know. 93 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: This feels like a lot of rambling, and I do 94 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: think that with time, these five minute fridays will get 95 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more concise. But reach out to me, 96 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: because I'm here in this one bedroom apartment on the 97 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: Upper East Side of Manhattan and I'm not going anywhere 98 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: at Emily a body at Hurdle Podcast right now.
