00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: loved the solo episode on things that I have learned

00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: as a self employed woman. So on that note, if

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: at Hurdle dot us. Today I want to talk to

16
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: you about what happens when you just take a step

17
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: away for a second. I've been working on a deal

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: that I can't talk about just yet, but I have

19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: been like prowling my inbox over this with baited breath

20
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: another thing that tried to say that one five times fast,

21
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: and it has been in the works for a second.

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: It's really exciting to me, and I feel so many

23
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: things about it. It feels synergistic with what I have

24
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: going on. I feel as though this opportunity is an

25
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: opportunity that will enable me and empower me to reach

26
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: more people. And so yeah, I've been excited about it,

27
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: and I've also been just checking my email a lot.

28
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: So this morning I got up and I did a

29
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: workout and I got my act together. I was going

30
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: to meet a good friend, Hey, Lauren, what's up. I

31
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: know you're listening to this at a coworking spot in Dumbo,

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: and I probably went I'm not even exaggerating, maybe like

33
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: an hour ish without checking my email, and I was

34
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: just in my flow state and getting things done whatnot.

35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: I sat down to the desk in Dumbo, which is

36
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: a part of Brooklyn, and there was an email and

37
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: the email asked me to get on a call in

38
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: a few hours. And I got on the call. And

39
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: I feel as though it is human nature to get

40
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: to this point where we're preparing for the worst, right

41
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: So I went into the call thinking a lot of

42
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: things could happen here, and I was met with not

43
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: only my desired outcome, but it was better than I

44
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: could have imagined. And so I thought to myself in

45
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: this experience which I'm talking about now obviously, that I

46
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: let go a little bit and I allowed thing just

47
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: too unfold as they would have unfolded whether or not

48
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: I was sitting there and stressing about it. How often

49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: are we so worried and frustrated about making sure that

50
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: everything is going some certain way? And a lot of

51
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: the times the things that we are so stressed out

52
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: over are things that we absolutely have no control over.

53
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: I get it, I go there often. But there is

54
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: so much freedom in releasing the anxiety that goes hand

55
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: in hand with the things that you cannot control. There

56
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: is so much freedom in throwing your hands up in

57
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: the air and saying, I surrender to whatever is supposed

58
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: to happen for me in this moment, sitting there and

59
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: worrying it wasn't going to do me any favors, and yes,

60
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: one more time, it's easier said than done. But what

61
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: happens if you think about what you can do with

62
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: that amount of bandwidth that you were pouring into something

63
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: that wasn't serving you, To do something that can right,

64
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: to focus on something that gives back to you an

65
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: energy faucet instead of an energy drain. So I prompt

66
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: for you this week, what is something that is an

67
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: energy drain for you this moment? And how can you

68
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: redirect your energy into something that will serve you. What

69
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: is something right now something you're stressing about that you

70
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: actually have absolutely no control over that you can just

71
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: let that go for now and instead focus on something

72
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: that gives back to you. And now a listener question. Hey, Emily,

73
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: I saw you started running again and I wanted to ask,

74
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: how are you really feeling about training for what is

75
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: probably your last marathon? Oh my gosh, the way that

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: that question was phrased. I'm just going to say this.

77
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that Tokyo will be my last marathon,

78
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: but it is my last World marathon major, and I

79
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: feel anxious as hell. And I know I just gave

80
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: you this whole spiel about letting go of your anxieties.

81
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: But there are things that I can do within my

82
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: capacity during this training cycle to keep my anxiety at bay.

83
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: As I've spoken about in recent five minute Fridays catching

84
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: up with y'all, I have some tendinitis on my left knee,

85
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: and so this training cycle just like my last training

86
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: cycle for Berlin, when I was dealing with planterfasciitis looks

87
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: different than quote unquote it should. It involves me as

88
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: of right now, running twice a week and biking twice

89
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: a week, and I'm not doing any long runs. I'm

90
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: only doing long bikes and that is a little concerning.

91
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: But I'm at this point where I am admittedly, now

92
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: that I say this out loud, letting go of the

93
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: things that I cannot control and surrendering to the guidance

94
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: of someone who knows how to handle this better than me,

95
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: and that is my physical therapist. So aside from the

96
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: complications that come with my body, which I love very much,

97
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: I am elated about Tokyo. I am so excited to go.

98
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: I have never been. I'm tacking it on to another

99
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: trip and it's really going to be just a once

100
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: in a lifetime experience that I feel so blessed and

101
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: privileged to have the opportunity to go after. So yeah,

102
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: my heart and my mindset is mostly on gratitude with

103
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: a little side of anxiety. But I am really looking

104
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: forward to accomplishing this massive goal, which if you asked

105
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: Emily a decade ago, if she'd be doing something like this. Yeah,

106
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if she'd believe you again. I'm over

107
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: at Emily Abadi at Hurdle Podcast Let's Talk Online. I'd

108
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: love to hear from you another hurdle conquered. Catch you

109
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: guys next time. AM to MA
