1 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: What's going on everyone? Emily A Badi Here, you are 2 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: listening to five Minute Friday from Hurdle. I'm kind of 3 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: giddy today. I feel like it's kind of lame to 4 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: say that you like celebrating your birthday. It's my birthday. 5 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: I really like celebrating it. I just love an excuse 6 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: to gather with the people that I care about, and 7 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: that is entirely what I plan on doing today. I'm 8 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: probably riding bikes with friends. If you are listening to 9 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: this first thing in the morning, I'm going to spend 10 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: the day with friends. I'm going to dinner with girlfriends. 11 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: Tomorrow I'm going to see my family and spend more 12 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: time with people that I love. And it just feels 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: it's really special. I wanted to be really candid for 14 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: this five Minute Friday this week for the weekly Hurdle newsletter. 15 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: If you're not subscribed, the link to do that is 16 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: in the show notes. But in the newsletter, I share 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: thirty five lessons for thirty five years. I know a 18 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: little sappy, but I had this idea last week and 19 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: I've been journaling on it every morning. Some of my 20 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: biggest takeaways, not just from the past year, but from 21 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: all thirty five really, and earlier this week, upon talking 22 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: to my life coach and chatting about this concept, I 23 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: told her that I would be remiss if I didn't 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: say that it's not apparent to me the things that 25 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: I am also without. And she asked me, what if 26 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: we are to reframe? What if instead you thought about 27 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: and focused on the abundance that you have in your life? 28 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: How would that make you feel? And it's such a 29 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: simple swap. It is understandable that as I am on 30 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: the cusp here of my thirty fifth year, and oh 31 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: my goodness, I cannot believe the next big milestone is forty. 32 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: That is insane that I have these thoughts. That's understandable. 33 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: But how do I choose to move forward? What do 34 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: I want to focus on? Where do I want my 35 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: energy to go? And so the biggest, biggest, biggest takeaway 36 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: from the last three hundred and sixty five days, and 37 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: I say it here constantly on the show, I'm going 38 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: to be beating a dead horse. But energy attracts like energy, 39 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: and I know for certain what it is that I 40 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: am looking for, not only from this year, but as 41 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: I move forward in this life, and what I am 42 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: looking for is kindness and love and just goodness. I 43 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: am worthy of good things, I am worthy of greatness. 44 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: The theme of the year going from good to great, 45 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: and so I choose consciously to reach frame. I choose 46 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: to focus on the things that my life has, the 47 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: abundance that is at my fingertips, and what a beautiful 48 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: way to start again, not only this new year, but 49 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: of course all of the years that come after. And 50 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: so my question for you today is what can you reframe? 51 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: What's something that you've been struggling with and maybe you 52 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: are choosing to see the negatives when there are still 53 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: so many positives at your fingertips. And now a listener question. 54 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: Happy thirty five Emily Woo. So we know that we 55 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: are bodies age over time, and that's just a universal truth, 56 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: and so you know, it's harder for us to kind 57 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: of like stay active and be up to date with 58 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: kind of our bodies and how we feel. You've had 59 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: a few injuries set backs this year, and you've been 60 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: very honest with us about it. Looking ahead, what advice 61 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: do you have for your fellow hurdlers looking to adjust 62 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: fitness goals with that feeling like we're aging or we're 63 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: really giving up help us find motivation thanks. 64 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: Our bodies do age over time, and really year thirty 65 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: four that felt more apparent than ever as I have 66 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: continually fought back against the snagging planter or fasciitis. And 67 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,119 Speaker 1: so my advice for hurdlers that are looking to maybe 68 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: adjust their fitness goals is first and foremost to have 69 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: grace with yourself. Know that it is normal to go 70 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: through these periods of frustration. It is normal to maybe 71 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: not be able to do all the things that you 72 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: used to do when you were twenty one. With that said, 73 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: you can make your new normal. You get to decide 74 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: what good feels like in this body and meet yourself 75 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: with where you are now. I'm also aware that just 76 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: because I'm not hitting the same paces that I was 77 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: at this time last year doesn't mean that those paces 78 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: are gone forever. So that goes back to the topic 79 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: of having grace with yourself and knowing that whatever is 80 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: meant to be will be. I firmly believe that it 81 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: is great to have goals within training, but the reason, 82 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: the prime reason that I move my body is because 83 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: I want to give back to myself. I want to 84 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: fill up my cup and so filling up my cup 85 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: means not comparing myself to my old self. Filling up 86 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: my cup means finding the joy in the small things. 87 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: It means at this point in my life, a little 88 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: bit less intensity sometimes so that I continue to show 89 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: up day in and day out and do the thing 90 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: that I love, which is movement. In general, we shift 91 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: and we adapt and we adopt the mindset that movement 92 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: is a gift. I am aiming to keep on moving 93 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 1: throughout goodness the rest of my life. My grandmother still 94 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: goes on like run walks around her neighborhood and plays 95 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: tennis and does dance cardio, and she is in her nineties. 96 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: So there's hope for all of us. There really is. 97 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: Make sure you're following along with Hurdle over on social 98 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: It's at Hurdle Podcast.
