Huge, 9 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: huge kudos to my assistant, the wonderful Chelsea for helping me, 10 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: gosh so through all of the madness that goes on 11 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: in my mind. I would be remiss if today's Five 12 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: Minute Friday wasn't about the what felt like apocalypse that 13 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: I experienced yesterday, which was traversing my way home from 14 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: the US Open in Queens to my apartment in Brooklyn. 15 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: So I'm sure you if you are listening to this, 16 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: you heard the news if you're not based in the Northeast, 17 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: that we got clabbered, like absolutely clobbered with the remnants 18 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: of what was Hurricane Ida here on Wednesday evening, and 19 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: so I was at the US Open when this really 20 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: started to come down. Thankfully, Arthur Ashe stadium. I was 21 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: there to watch Slan Stevens. She was amazing. When I 22 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: was there, There's a roof on Arthur Ash, so that 23 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: was a non issue. But as we're sitting watching the 24 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: tennis matches, it was crazy because you thought, like that low, dull, 25 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: rumbling noise could be like an can get like a 26 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: large I don't know air filtration, air conditioning situation, but 27 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: it's really just like sheets of water hitting the dome 28 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: the US open and so when my friend and I 29 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: go to leave the stadium, it is just buckets, like 30 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: sheets of water, and we look at each other and 31 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: we're like, literally, there's no point in opening an umbrella 32 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: because we're just gonna get soaked. I'm wearing like a 33 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: full length MAXI Nike skirt that no like that seriously 34 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: was just drenched. We started we at different points getting 35 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: to the car, like we were wading through water that 36 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: was up to like at least mid calf height in 37 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: a parking lot. Like literally, I've never seen anything like 38 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: this at all. So once we start driving, we wait 39 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: for it to die down what seems like a little bit. 40 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: At one point, we were listening to this radio station 41 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: ten ten Wins, and on ten ten Wins they said 42 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: that the rain was coming down at three inches an 43 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: hour at one point, so I think by the time 44 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: we started driving, it was more like one inch an hour. 45 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: And we started to make our way back toward my 46 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: apartment in Brooklyn, and I again, it looked like the apocalypse. 47 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: There were cars driving every which way. So many roads 48 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: were they weren't actually like closed, they were just flooded. 49 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: And you would see a car go down one way 50 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: and then go to turn around and come back another way. 51 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: There were cars making U turns absolutely everywhere, but some 52 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: cars trying to make it through like super deep water 53 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: and then they'd get stuck, and so it was nuts. 54 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: And I tell you all this not just to share 55 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: this experience with a ton of people on the Internet, 56 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: but more so because this was a prime example of 57 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: me feeling as though the mindfulness that I've been integrating 58 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: into my routine was really paying off in that I gosh, 59 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: was I nervous as hell? Yes? Was I anxious? Hell? Yes? 60 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: I think I may have mentioned this on the show before, 61 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: but years and years ago, I want to say, like 62 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: maybe ten years ago. At this point, I was driving 63 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: with an ex boyfriend on my way to Yukon, I 64 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: went to school at the University of Connecticut, and we're 65 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: driving up there and it started to snow, and we 66 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: were so close into getting into a really really bad accident, 67 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: and that the car did a one eighty on the 68 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: highway and for a moment we were driving backward. And 69 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: ever since then, I've just been super scarred on driving 70 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: in englement weather. And so last night, I don't know 71 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: what I mean, I know what came over me, so 72 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: to speak. What came over me was the fact that 73 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: I knew that I couldn't do anything in this moment 74 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: to change my circumstance. And so what we did was 75 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: we evaluated our options and we proceeded with caution and 76 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: the best way that felt right in the moment. And 77 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: so rather than you know, freaking out or crying or 78 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: losing my shit or getting angry about the circumstance, it 79 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: was just like, Okay, well this is how it is now. 80 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean that it was any less scary 81 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: er that I didn't have anxiety. It was just more 82 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: so that I had the opportunity in that moment to 83 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: react in a way that was productive and use the 84 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: tools that I have started to harness in my mindfulness 85 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: practice to get through that situation. I've talked about the show. 86 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: I'm not the best at meditating. I'm actually really excited 87 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: because I just was gifted the Core Meditation Trainer. I 88 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: know that hyper Rice just acquired them. This isn't sponsored 89 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: in any way, They're not a sponsor on the show, 90 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: but I'm really excited to start trying this out. I'll 91 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: link to it in the show notes if you want 92 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: to give it a look see as well. But I 93 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: don't have a regular meditation practice, but I do have 94 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: a pretty solid mindfulness practice, and that whether it's on 95 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: my run or something that Victoria Albina when she was 96 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: on the show was you can find holes and pockets 97 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: for mindfulness in your everyday routine where you may not 98 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: think that they could be so. For example, when she 99 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: was on the show, she talked about paying attention to 100 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: putting your jewelry on and feeling the weight of your 101 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: ring as it slides onto your finger, and perhaps the 102 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: same when you put a necklace around your neck, and 103 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: then the same as you put on a bracelet on 104 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: your right wrist, Like being very intentional and mindful about 105 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: how that feels and being very present in that moment. 106 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: And so if you're like someone that like me at 107 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: times has said like, oh, I'm no good at meditating, Like, 108 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't need to be a full on twenty minutes 109 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: to sit cross legged on a pillow to make a 110 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: major difference in your day to day. And I would 111 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: say again that this mindfulness practice, whether it's intentionally putting 112 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: on my jewelry or taking some time for myself on 113 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: my run just to close my eyes and be so 114 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: present in the world around me and take a deep 115 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: breath and feel gratitude and case capable, it's it's really 116 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: paid off for me. So that was my that was 117 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: my Wednesday night. Really grateful that I'm safe. And I 118 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: hope that if you're listening to this and you're in 119 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: the area, that you are safe, that your homes are okay, 120 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: that your families are safe as well. Uh and uh, 121 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: my thoughts and prayers really are not just in the 122 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: area where I am, but of course down especially in 123 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: the New Orleans area. I donated to an organization that 124 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: a girlfriend of mine shared the other day. It's called 125 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: World Central Kitchen. World Central Kitchens in New Orleans Right 126 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: after the storm passed, they began preparing hot, fresh meals 127 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: along with sandwiches and fruit for first responders and families 128 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: that were impacted. So again I donated to them earlier. 129 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: This week, I'm going to put their information in the 130 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: show notes in case you want to donate and help 131 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: the relief effort as well. And now my prompt for 132 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: you this week, what is one way that you can 133 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: be more mindful in your day to day routine? Again? 134 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: What is one way you can be more mindful in 135 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: your day today routine? And now a listener question. Hi Emily, 136 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: It's Christina originally from New York but now living in Denver. 137 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: Wanted to know how you wash your workout clothes and 138 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: what you can do to get the stink out. Thanks 139 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: so much. Bye. You know I get this question all 140 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: the time, and I mean I sweat a ton, and yes, 141 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: my sweat smells cute. I know, But I just use 142 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: regular tithe to wash my workout clothes. I've I've been 143 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: pitched like special sport detergents before. I also have a 144 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: practice that right after I'm done working out, especially when 145 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: the clothes are drenched, I will then lay them or 146 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: hang them so that they can kind of dry off 147 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: before putting them into a laundry bin. And I pretty 148 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: regularly do my laundry. Like I'm I would safely say 149 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: that I do laundry at least once a week. Granted, 150 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: of course, it was not that way when I didn't 151 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: have a washer dryer in my home. What I will 152 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: say is that the sooner I find you wash your 153 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: clothes after you're done working out in them, the better 154 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: chance you will have of not having them smell long term. 155 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: I've also heard some other tricks like throw in a 156 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: little bit of vinegar, add some baking soda to your 157 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: laundry load. Also, perhaps it can help to wash your 158 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: clothes inside out. And another tip that I heard was 159 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: skipping fabric softener somehow can also help with this whole thing. 160 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: If you have more tips and tricks, feel free to 161 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: shoot the Hurdle Instagram a DM over at Hurdle podcasts. 162 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: Of course, you know I'm also over at Emily a body. 163 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: I want to say again, thanks so much hurdlers for 164 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: such an unbelievable season.

So just can't continue to support 173 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: the show and support me and share the episodes and 174 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: rate it in the Apple Podcast Store wherever you get 175 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: your podcasts, and you know, take part with the sponsors 176 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: like all of it. It all matters and you matter. 177 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: So thank you, really from the bottom of my heart. 178 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: That's it for now, another hurdle conquered. Catch you guys 179 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: next time.
