1 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, what's going on? Emily Body here? You are 2 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: listening to five Minute Friday from Hurdle. Something that really 3 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: resonated with me today that I want to talk about 4 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: this week is the fact that at one point or another, 5 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: someone that is wildly important to you in your life 6 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: was a stranger. Let that sink in for a second. 7 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to say it again. There are people right 8 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: now that are your closest humans, your closest friends in 9 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: your life, that at one point they were someone you 10 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: didn't know. And I bring this to the feed today 11 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: because it was so funny. I went to yoga with 12 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: a friend of mine who I met a few years 13 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: ago in the city, and after yoga, we grabbed coffee 14 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: and I bumped into one of my closest friends' husbands 15 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: and I met both of them also in the city, 16 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: And I have this moment as I was sitting there 17 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: drinking my coffee that it really hit me how lucky 18 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: I am not only to have such great people in 19 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: my life, but also the fact that there was something 20 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: that brought these people into my orbit. And especially as 21 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: we get older, it's so difficult to expand your circle 22 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: and candidly many people I know at this point aren't 23 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: really that interested in doing so. But I know because 24 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: of the good that I've seen that comes from opening 25 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: up and getting vulnerable with new people and reaping the 26 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: benefits of these fresh relationship and hips, that there is 27 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: good that can happen when you allow yourself to simply 28 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: be open and by choosing that path instead of saying 29 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: to myself, oh, I'm not really interested in getting to 30 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: know someone new, I am better for it. And so 31 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: knowing that you have the opportunity, regardless of whatever is 32 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: going on in your relationships right now, to look back 33 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: in a year from now and think, wow, I had 34 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: absolutely no idea about the people who would enter my life. 35 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: I had no idea about how they could change my world. 36 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: And how lucky am I to have had the experiences 37 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: with the people that I have some perspective, if you will, 38 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: My thought prompt for you this week is who is 39 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: one person you are very thankful for in your life? 40 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: Why is that? And then I challenge you to tell 41 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: them that today, who is one person in your life 42 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: that you are super thankful for? Why are you thankful 43 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: for them? And then bonus points if you let them know. 44 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: And now a listener question Emily. 45 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: Hi, my name is Emma. I'm from Minneapolis, and my 46 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: question is about the kinds of things that you do 47 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 2: living at home by yourself in the evenings. So I'm 48 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: wondering what kind of things you do when you have 49 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: a night to yourself at home that are not Netflix 50 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: or reading or just cooking dinner. Do you have like 51 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: games that you play alone or anything that just keeps 52 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: you occupied in the evenings. Thanks so much, love the. 53 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: Show, Emma, what a unique question, Candidly, A lot of 54 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: the things that I do you just listed, So I'm 55 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: big on a good Netflix moment right now. March Madness 56 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: has all of my attention in terms of watching television. 57 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: Beyond that, I do love to read. I also I 58 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: love to write, and I am a constant organizer. So 59 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: if I'm home and looking to decompress, something I do 60 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: in addition to cooking is I will organize like one 61 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: section or thing in my home and I'll listen to 62 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: a podcast while doing it. I know this sounds really exciting. 63 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: You don't have to tell me twice, But organizing while 64 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: listening to a podcast or a good playlist, watching something 65 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: on TV, doing something honestly mindless after trying to use 66 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: my brain all day. That's kind of where my head 67 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: is at now. Something recently that I'll add to this 68 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,559 Speaker 1: that I do when I'm home alone. I'm really into 69 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: mocktails lately. I'm trying not to just have a glass 70 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: of wine for the sake of having a glass of wine. 71 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: So I really like this ritual apparteef. I'll put that 72 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: in a glass with seltzer and a little orange slice, 73 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: and I'm having myself a little evening. Nothing too crazy here, 74 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: but a little snapshot into what's happening inside my Brooklyn apartment. 75 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for listening, Emma, and for everyone listening 76 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: or a now hit me with a listener question.
