1 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Emily Badi here, you are listening to another 2 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: episode of Five Minute Friday on Hurdle. Good morning, good afternoon, 3 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: Good evening. I want to talk about giving one hundred 4 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: percent of whatever you have on any given day. I'm 5 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,319 Speaker 1: just going to jump right into it. This week has 6 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: been challenging for me for a number of reasons, and 7 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: I in the past have been very frustrated with myself 8 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: during moments of turbulence, especially when there are items that 9 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: I need to get done on my to do list, 10 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: or I just feel as though I, quote unquote should 11 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: be able to operate in a different capacity. The fact is, though, 12 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: that we are not going to wake up every single 13 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: morning and have it all together. 14 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 2: The motivation may not always be there. 15 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: The amount that we feel capable is going to differentiate 16 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: from day to day. And so something that has really 17 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: stuck with me lately is that on the days that 18 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: you wake up and you feel that you only have 19 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: seventy percent to give fifty percent to give, it is 20 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: up to you on that day then to give one 21 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: hundred percent of the seventy of the fifty and when 22 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: you view it in that way, you stop shoulting on yourself. 23 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: If only just a little right. When you view it 24 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: in that way, you approach the days where your tank 25 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: feels like it's half full, and yes I'm saying that 26 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: full to be optimistic. You're approaching that day where the 27 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: tank feels half full with a bit more grace, with 28 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: a bit more compassion for how it is that you 29 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: are capable of showing up in that moment to meet 30 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: that moment. Listen, it would be weird if you woke 31 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: up every day and fell to one hundred percent. 32 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: That is not human. 33 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: And in the scheme of things here, we're talking about 34 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: being relatable and vulnerable and not perfect. No one is perfect. 35 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: Say a letter for the people in the back. So 36 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: maybe this is you this week. Maybe you're also feeling 37 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: like your battery is in the yellow right, So when 38 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: it's in the yellow, do the best to show up 39 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: with what you can to meet that moment and recognize 40 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: that it won't stay in the yellow forever. When you 41 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: give yourself grace and compassion, you are pluging it in right, 42 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: and it's going to take time to get back up. 43 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: It's going to take time to recharge. But when you 44 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: plug it in and you do the best you can 45 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: with what you have. That's truly all that you can 46 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: ask of your self. Right now, I'm personally navigating a 47 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: bit of grief, a bit of loss, and grief is cruel. 48 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't care what plan you have, it doesn't care 49 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: what's on the agenda, and it certainly pays no mind 50 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: to any of your wants and desires. 51 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: But the thing about grief. 52 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: And loss is that it reminds us that even through 53 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: the pain, there can be light if only you choose 54 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: to see it. And so this week I am choosing 55 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: to do the best I can with what I have 56 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: to give one hundred percent on the days that I 57 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: feel seventy percent, and for me right now, that fear 58 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: like enough. My thought prompt for you this week is 59 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: where are you being a little too hard on yourself? 60 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: How can you ease the judgment and embrace grace because 61 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: you deserve it? Where are you being a little bit 62 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: hard on yourself? And how can you embrace grace in 63 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: your day to day? And now a listener question, Hey, Emily, 64 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: longtime listener of the pod. So grateful for you and 65 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: this community. Thank you for answering questions on five Minute Friday. 66 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: I always love hearing fellow listener questions and enjoying your 67 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: take on whatever the topic is. I've been getting back 68 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: into running, and it's spring in Nebraska, which means the 69 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: weather is all over the place. I can't seem to 70 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: find the right long pant legging that doesn't feel like 71 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: it's falling down while I run. Not sure if I'm 72 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: sizing correctly or if it's the brand. So I'm curious. 73 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: What are your favorite leggings to run in? Is there 74 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: a certain compression that's best for running? 75 00:04:59,440 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 2: Thanks? 76 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: And Megan, Oh Megan, Oh my god, Do I have 77 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: some go tos? My first go to is the Fast 78 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: and Free legging from Lululemon. I size down one size 79 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: and that gives me the right amount of I don't 80 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: know how if there's a word for this. I mean 81 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: you said the word comprushing. 82 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 2: It's like the that's the noise I think of when 83 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: I think of how I want my running tights to feel. 84 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: I love that legging, the Fast and Free. 85 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: I wear the Wonder Train high Rise six inch short 86 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: with pockets as well. They currently don't have it on 87 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: the site, but they do have the regular version at 88 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: this moment. Truly, if you look at my drawers These 89 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: are the two items you will see the most up. 90 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: I do have favorites from a few other brands, including 91 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: Nike and Athleta, and I will link to those in 92 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: the show notes, but I would say that a majority 93 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: of my tights and shorts are from Lulua Lemon. I 94 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: do also have Yeah, this is a sleeper pick, but 95 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: I bought four pairs of. 96 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: It last summer. 97 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,239 Speaker 1: An eighteen dollars favorite short from Target that I will 98 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: also link in the show notes, and I'll do a 99 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: post on like to Know it as well, so if 100 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: you follow me over there, I'll link my profile in 101 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: the show notes. 102 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 2: You can always. 103 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: Stay up to date with the picks that are in 104 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: my regular rotation. One other note here is that when 105 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: you are dressing for the season, the day you want 106 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: to be dressing like it's fifteen degrees warmer outside than 107 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: it actually is. So if it's a fifty degree day 108 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: and you're someone that's comfortable running in shorts, you'll probably 109 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: want to opt for a short over a tight, because 110 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: the real feel for your body once you get moving 111 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: is going to be sixty five degrees. That's just one 112 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: temperature example, So dress. 113 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: To be comfortable. 114 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: You don't want to get overheated out there, because we 115 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: do not need extra things making that work feel harder 116 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: than it is.
