1 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, emilya body here. You're listening a five minute 2 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: Friday from Hurdle. Can I tell you that this week 3 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 1: has felt really, how do I say this? Fulfilling? It's 4 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: felt fulfilling and it's felt good. I would be remiss 5 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: if I didn't say that. The last month or so 6 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: has certainly, on the work front, at the very least, 7 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: held its fair share of challenges. I felt as though 8 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: I was throwing some stuff at the wall and hoping 9 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: it would stick, and nothing was sticking. And on Wednesday 10 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: and Thursday of this week it felt like, after weeks 11 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: months of throwing stuff at the wall, not only was 12 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: it's sticking, but it was happening in abundance. And it's 13 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: so easy these days in we talk about it all 14 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: the time, this culture, this climate of the highlight reel 15 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: to just have the impression that someone is winning all 16 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: of the time. And I will be the first person, 17 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: well maybe not the first person, but I will be 18 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: the person today that tells you that that is just 19 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: so not true, that is not how it works forever. 20 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: Yes that I hear, I'm likely told a dozen knows, 21 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: and every so often I have these days. I have 22 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: these days where it feels as though, what did I 23 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: do to deserve this goodness? And I was reminded this 24 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: week that what I did was that I persevered. What 25 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: I did was that I put in the work. What 26 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: I did is that I kept showing up even when 27 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: it felt hard. And so this week, for five minute Friday, 28 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: which might actually come in at exactly five minutes, this 29 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: is really all that I want to run home. I 30 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: want to tell you to keep going. I want to 31 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: tell you to keep your chin up. I just watched 32 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: the last season of Missus Mazel, and in Missus Masel, 33 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: the marvelous Missus Masel, she says to her manager all 34 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: of the time, tits up. And so I want to 35 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: tell you, tits up. The journey is gonna have bumps, 36 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: they are gonna be hurdles. But if you can just 37 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: believe that there is goodness that is out there for you, 38 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: and that if you keep being a good person and 39 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: being kind, it will come back around. Then trust me, 40 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: the hard days are gonna feel a little bit easier 41 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: knowing that, I promise you. I do want to say 42 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: that on the day that it felt like all the 43 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: good things kept coming. The first day on Wednesday of 44 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: this week, I had a busy schedule and I scheduled 45 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: in a workout for myself at twelve noon, which you 46 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: know me, is not my normal. I'm definitely typically a 47 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: morning workout person. But I was lying in my bed 48 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: that day and knew I needed another hour and a 49 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: half and so I scheduled in that time for myself. 50 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: And by taking that time, by making time for myself, 51 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: by giving to myself, it felt like that was the 52 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: foundation for me to then open myself up to goodness, 53 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: to be more fully present in the things that I 54 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: was doing. And as a result, the good things started coming, 55 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: I believe because I started by being good to myself. 56 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: And so I prompt for you this week, how can 57 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: you be good to you? What is one thing that 58 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: you can do for yourself today that doesn't need to 59 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: take mounds of effort. Maybe a compliment that you can 60 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: give yourself, a fifteen minute break that you can take, 61 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: take a walk around the block, splurging for that iced 62 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: coffee that you've avoided getting all week because you're trying 63 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: to be a little bit better with your spending.
