I talked on the show about 6 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: celebrating my birthday last Friday, and I don't know if 7 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: I've ever felt so beyond measure in terms of supported 8 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: and cared for. And I feel really grateful for that 9 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: this year, this last around the Sun. Now for last 10 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: week's installment of the weekly Hurdle newsletter, which comes out 11 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: every Friday. If you're not subscribed just yet, the link 12 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: to do that is in the show notes. But I 13 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: shared thirty five different lessons I learned in honor of 14 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,919 Speaker 1: my thirty fifth year, and one of those lessons something 15 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 1: I talk about all the time. It's my through line 16 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty three and certainly am bringing this into 17 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: my year thirty five is energy attracts like energy. And 18 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: last Friday I was in the best mood. I started 19 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: the day by doing a strength workout. I then rode 20 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: bikes with some friends and I quickly showered and got 21 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: myself together to get back out the door to go 22 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: meet some friends to lay out by the pool, and 23 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: before I hopped in a car because I was in 24 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: a bit of a rush. 25 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: I stopped inside of the seven. 26 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: To eleven not far from my apartment, and I go 27 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: to check out at the counter with a beverage and 28 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: the cashier and I exchanged some niceties. 29 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 2: He asked me how my day is. I'm saying, I'm having. 30 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: A really great day. It's so nice outside, what great 31 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: weather we're having. And then he looks at what I'm 32 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: buying and asks me if I like I was buying, 33 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: to be completely honest, a tall can of sugar free 34 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: like alcoholic lemonade Seltzer. And he says to me, how 35 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: do you like those? And I was like, actually, I 36 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: really like this one. It's super refreshing. And he looks 37 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: at me and then he looks back at the fridge 38 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: behind me and he says, go grab another one. I'm 39 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: gonna buy it for you. I love your energy. I 40 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: was so flattered. I told him, of course, he did 41 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: not have to do that, and he insisted. So I 42 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: grabbed another can and I brought it to the counter, 43 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: And to be completely frank, I thought that he was 44 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: probably just gonna not even ring it up, but he 45 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: rings up the second tallgan and then he swipes his 46 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: debit card, his personal debit card, and I just looked 47 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: at him and I was like, that was so unnecessary, 48 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: but I'm going to tell you something now, and he's like, 49 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: what's that. I was like, it's my birthday today, and 50 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: he could not believe it. 51 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: It was just the. 52 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: Most beautiful moment between two complete strangers. 53 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: I haven't seen him since. I need to like go 54 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 2: back in there and look for him. 55 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: But it truly gave me goosebumps and was the epitome 56 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: of energy attracts like energy and I after having such 57 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: a remarkable day, and that was just like one of 58 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: the things that contributed to the great day. I woke 59 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: up the next day and asked myself, why not today too? 60 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: What is stopping me from approaching every single day with 61 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: that level of happiness, that giddiness, that opportunity mindset? Every 62 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: day I have the opportunity, we all have the opportunity 63 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: to get up and go after the energy that we 64 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: want to attract. I giggle because it's like that class 65 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: sick Drake line, like turn my birthday into a lifestyle, 66 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: Like maybe that's. 67 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: What I've just got to do. Maybe that's what we 68 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: all have to do. 69 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Approach every day like it's a day to celebrate, to 70 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: be present, to tell people that you love them, to 71 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: tell people that you appreciate them, and watch what happens 72 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: when that is the energy that you greet your days with. 73 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: My prompt for you this week, who are you buying 74 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: a can for? Who is someone that you appreciate their 75 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: energy and you want to let them know you want 76 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: to show them your appreciation. And to be clear, you 77 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: don't actually need to buy them a tall can of 78 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: alcoholic lemonade, but maybe you just tell them today who 79 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: are you going to tell that you appreciate what they're 80 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: bringing to the table. And now a listener question. Happy birthday, Emily. 81 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: As the years go by and you've moved to different 82 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: homes along the way, what is one random thing you 83 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: know you can toss but you keep on bringing with you. 84 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: Wow, this is a good question, you know. The first 85 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: thing that comes to mind is, actually, this is so random. 86 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: My wetsuit. 87 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: So I've done one. I've done one triathlon in my life. 88 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: It was the New York City Triathlon. It was an 89 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: Olympic distance try and somehow during that triathlon, I ripped 90 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: the leg of my wet suit. I also haven't worn 91 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: this wetsuit like since that day. So not only am 92 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: I keeping this wetsuit that has a hole in it, 93 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: but since I haven't used it since this day and 94 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: this day, I want to say I did this like 95 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: eight years ago. Maybe I just think that by the 96 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: time it's if I ever and I have a feeling 97 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: I will if I ever do another triathlon, and Iron 98 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: Man is not off of my radar. 99 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: Let's just say that. 100 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: But if I do another triathlon, by the time that happens, 101 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: probably gonna need a different wetsuit. Anyway, I know this 102 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 1: wasn't really an exciting answer. Beyond the whatsuit, something else 103 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: in my home that I have been moving with from 104 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: apartment to apartment. Okay, I know it's my soda stream. 105 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if people still use soda streams. I'm 106 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: a sucker for an ice cold can of Seltzer and 107 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: so my affinity for trying different flavors of Seltzer's and 108 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: drinking them out of really nice chili cans has replaced 109 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: me using the soda stream and so yeah, I think 110 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: it's probably time that we part ways. 111 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: A profound five. 112 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: Minute Friday for you this week, make sure you're following 113 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: along with hurdle Over on social set Hurdle Podcast, I'm 114 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: over at Emily a Body, Another hurdle conquered. 115 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: Catch you guys next time. 116 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: Everybody here
