1 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: Life, Life. Hey everyone, EMILYA body here. You are listening 2 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: to five Minute Friday from Hurdle. I've been getting a 3 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: lot of messages this week about traveling, which is fair 4 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: because I've been doing a fair amount of it and 5 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to chat about that for this week's episode. 6 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: The questions are mostly revolving around routine. How do you 7 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: make time for a movement and working out when you're 8 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: out of your normal How do you prioritize it when 9 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: there's so much to do? And candidly, it depends on 10 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: what's happening. I will say that I know for certain 11 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: that I feel better when I move my body. And 12 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: because I know that, and because moving my body is 13 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: important to me and I have a strong why connected 14 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: to it, more often than not I will factor that 15 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: in when I think about what I want to do 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: during the day, whether I am walking through Kyoto or 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: simply where I am right now, which is in Santa Monica, California. 18 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: And that could look differently, right, that could look like 19 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: a dedicated workout in which I book something like some 20 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: sort of a boutique fitness class like spin or yoga 21 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: or gym time using class pass, which yes, I'm still 22 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: on class Pass and I'm obsessed with it. I'll put 23 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: my referral link in the show notes. I think get 24 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: to a free month. Actually, So whether it's using class 25 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: Pass or just on a whim, maybe I'll book a 26 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: class or some gym time. And if it's not that, 27 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: maybe I'll factor in time for a run. And if 28 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: it's not that, if I do have a ton of 29 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: things that I want to do, then maybe I'm thinking 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: about movement in a little bit of a different way. 31 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about walking around from point A to point B, 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: thinking about how I can do what I want to 33 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: do while incorporating more steps. I'm maybe not taking an 34 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: uber a mile down the road, but instead walking a 35 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: mile down the road. It's all a give and take 36 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: and prioritizing the things that are important to you and 37 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: also knowing that sometimes it's just not gonna happen. Period. 38 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: Right now, I'm getting really excited about strength training again. 39 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: Feels really good to lift heavy weights. And I'm traveling 40 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: for business. I am seeing people I don't get to 41 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: see very often. I am incorporating meetings and running from 42 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: point A to point B, and so that meant that 43 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: today I didn't get in the strength workout that I 44 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: was hoping to do, and you know what, that's okay. 45 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Life goes on beyond incorporating regular movement. My biggest tips 46 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: there knowing your why, knowing why movement is important to you, 47 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: and allowing it to be a flexible thing, knowing that 48 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: it might look different when you're on the road than 49 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: it might at home, and that's totally fine. Beyond that, 50 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: I would say other things that help me keep my 51 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: mind and body in check when I'm on the road 52 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: include incorporating my regular supplement routine that means ag one 53 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: and element on the road always, and then also making 54 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: it a priority to get good sleep. Even though I am, 55 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: you know, a dinner and drinks kind of gal. I'm 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: not a late night kind of person, and that doesn't 57 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: change when I'm away from home. So thinking about hotels 58 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: that have great beds, great blackout curtains, looking into that 59 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: before I book them. I'm serious. These are things that 60 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: I do. And beyond that, beyond sleep, I'm also making 61 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: sure to maintain my mindfulness practice when I'm on the road. 62 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: I am so excited that this morning, probably by the 63 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: time many of you listen to this, I'm going to 64 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: finally check out the studio of Open in Venice. I've 65 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: been looking forward to this day for such a long time, 66 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: and so I'm going to be doing my mindfulness practice 67 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: that I usually do at home IRL and I cannot wait. 68 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: And besides the breathwork and the meditation that otherwise when 69 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: I'm not in the studio I do on the open app, 70 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm also finding the time to journal. And because it's 71 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: marathon weekend, I'm taking my soon to be official sister 72 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: i e. My dad and her mom are getting married, 73 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: and I'm taking her to a contrast studio where we're 74 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: gonna do a sauna and cold plunged thing. Right, It's 75 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: just I know how I like to feel, and I 76 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: know how these things feel as a part of my routine, 77 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: And just because they might look different when I'm on 78 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: the road doesn't mean that I'm not taking that into 79 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: consideration when I'm wherever that I am. So know your why, 80 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: know why these things are important for your life, for 81 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: making you feel a certain way, and then do the 82 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: best you can with what you have to accomplish that feeling, 83 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: knowing that it might look different than when you're at home. 84 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: And again, that is totally fine. Find the grace. Find 85 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: the grace. My question for you, what is something, whether 86 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: you're on the road or just kicking it at home 87 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: this weekend, that you can do that makes you feel 88 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: good in your body? What is one thing that you 89 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: can do to feel good in your body this weekend, 90 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: no matter where you are. And now a listener question. Hey, Emily, 91 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: big fan of the pot over here. I was just curious. 92 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: You do so many things, and you do them all 93 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: so so well. Does keeping so many pots on the 94 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: stove ever get to be a little bit overwhelming for you? 95 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: Excited to hear your answer. Thanks so much. What a 96 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: good question, and I love the phrase keeping so many 97 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: pots on the stove. I will say this sometimes, yes, 98 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: I do get overwhelmed, and sometimes I do need to 99 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: completely withdraw, And more often than not, I'm proactive about 100 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: knowing that inevitably that's going to happen, asking myself regularly, 101 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: how can you own your no? What is it that's 102 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: within my power that I can do so that I 103 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: can stave off overwhelmed, so that I can feel more 104 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: in control of my day to day. For me, doing 105 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: a multitude of things, whether that's podcasting or hosting or 106 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: creating content or working with brands in a myriad of 107 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: different capacities. This keeps my life interesting and it really 108 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: excites me. But with that said, I am constantly being 109 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: pulled in a number of different directions, especially when I 110 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: integrate balancing a personal life, my movement practice, my mental health, 111 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: my family, so on and so forth. So I am 112 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: proactive about doing the things that I need to do 113 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: to put on my metaphorical oxygen mask so that I 114 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: can continue to show up in the best way possible 115 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: in all of the different capacities that I try to 116 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: on the regular And when that overwhelm comes, which it 117 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: does every once in a while, I know that that 118 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: means that I need to take time for myself. I 119 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: need to shut it down. I need to either spend 120 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: some time at home in my apartment or go to 121 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: dinner by myself, or do something that is me knowingly 122 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: taking care of me, making Emily happy and asking myself 123 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: what is good for Emily, knowing that that question is 124 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: not selfish, and more often than not, I should be 125 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: asking myself that question even more than I already. Do 126 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: you got to take care of you? Trust me, It's 127 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: important make sure you're following along with hurdle over on 128 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: the socials.
