1
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, it's Emily a body here coming to you

2
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: live from the AG studio. You are listening to another

3
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: installment A five minute Friday from Hurdle. I realized this

4
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: week how much time I spend in my apartment and

5
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: I get it right, Like I have been working from

6
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: home here now I have a dedicated office space. I

7
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: am so happy with it. I love working from here.

8
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: But I, aside from my run, can go during the week,

9
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: like from Monday to Friday, basically with just being here,

10
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: waking up, up, working out, maybe seeing other people during

11
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: that workout, coming back home, getting to work, making dinner,

12
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: being on the couch. You know, just it's a cycle, right.

13
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: And on Wednesday, I had a meeting or two in Manhattan,

14
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: and I was sitting on Park Avenue in between the

15
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: two meetings eating lunch, when I was kind of blown

16
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: away with just like how insane and buzzy the city was.

17
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: The thing about Midtown is that obviously a lot of

18
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: offices are in Midtown, and that means at lunchtime, like

19
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: the streets are buzzing, co workers are walking together, There's

20
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: lines outside of all of the restaurants, and like the

21
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: fast casual places and it's just like kind of a scene.

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: And there I was sitting there thinking to myself that

23
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I had no idea that this was fully back, so

24
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: to speak, Like, I know that New York is back,

25
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: and there are people everywhere, and rent is higher than

26
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: it's ever been, and we're you know, going out to

27
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: eat like we used to. But for some reason, like

28
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: I had just kind of assumed that so many people

29
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: were for the most part working from home like me,

30
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I guess this is just like

31
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: a total perception is your reality moment. Anyway, as I

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: was sitting there and thinking about the fact that I

33
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: probably need to get out a little bit more, I

34
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: also couldn't help but think about how I've grown to

35
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: be this person that I don't know really what I

36
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: thought that I would become. But I'm really proud of

37
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: where I'm at. I started as an editorial assistant making

38
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: thirty four thousand dollars a year, didn't make enough money

39
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: to move into New York City, and now I live

40
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: in a two bedroom all my own in Brooklyn, which,

41
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: as I said, I probably need to at times get

42
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: out of a little bit more. I've built a business

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: and a name for myself, and I've worked with brands

44
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: that I dreamed of working with forever, and I did

45
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: all of this and it feels really freaking good, you know,

46
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: it feels really good. And I try to come back

47
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: to that in the moments where it could be easy

48
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: to get down on myself about the things that aren't happening,

49
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: or maybe quote unquote, when I'm not doing enough of

50
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: i e leaving my home. It's all happening, right, It's

51
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: all happening for a reason. I've got to trust the process.

52
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I've got to stop by Midtown every once in

53
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: a while to remember the beginning and to keep my

54
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: eyes on where I'm going. My prompt for you this week,

55
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: what is one thing that you are doing right now

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: in your life that a younger you would never even

57
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: have dreamt of? Again, what is one thing you are

58
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: doing right now in your life that a younger you

59
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: could not have even dreamt of or maybe would have

60
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: really freaked out about. And now for your question.

61
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: Hi, Emily, my name is Juliana from Virginia. My question

62
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: for you is, now that the days are getting shorter,

63
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: it's getting a little cooler, how do you cope or

64
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: deal with the times when you just feel bone tired.

65
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: Maybe you're sleeping well enough and you're feeling okay, but

66
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: there's something just about this time of year that makes

67
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: I think most of us pretty tired, and it can

68
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: be off putting and a little bit hard to keep

69
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: your motivation up. So I'm curious what you do at

70
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: times like that to keep your energy high, keep yourself focused,

71
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: and ultimately keep yourself happy. Thank you, hey, Juliana.

72
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we can all really really relate to this.

73
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: So you're right, this time of year can be a struggle.

74
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: And my biggest piece of advice to beat the days

75
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: where you just feel like a blob and you feel

76
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: tired and you just don't feel like doing anything is

77
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: planning ahead. That's does it mean that it's not okay

78
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: to take some time for you. I think that's a

79
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: really important thing to note about this time of year

80
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: is that there are a lot of other important things

81
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: going on, family obligations or work things trying to wrap

82
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: up for the year, and in doing that, those can

83
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: be exciting and fun but also super stressful, and so

84
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: you need to listen to your body about what you're

85
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: actually ready to take on. But if it's just this

86
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: feeling that you're trying to kick in the butt again.

87
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: My suggestion is planning ahead, plan your week of workouts,

88
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: if that's what we're talking about here at the beginning

89
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: of the week right now, in between goals, trying to

90
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: figure out exactly what I want to do next. More

91
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: on that in an upcoming episode. I find it really

92
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: motivating to have my week of workouts set in stone

93
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: before Monday morning even hits that way, just kind of

94
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: like laying out your workout clothes ahead of time. It's

95
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: one less thing to think about, knowing that I want

96
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: to move my body and having to make that decision

97
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: in the moment. I also, by planning ahead, can diversify

98
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: what I have on deck right, which is something that

99
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing as much when I was myself training

100
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: for a marathon. Now I'm looking at going back to classes.

101
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: That's something that you can do if you feel comfortable,

102
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: incorporating the peloton, going on a run or two a week,

103
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: strength training, just a bunch of different things that make

104
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: me excited, and to be honest, it's kind of fun

105
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: to feel a little bit like a beginner again. In

106
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: some ways, I'm looking forward to getting stronger, and I

107
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: know that in getting stronger and in giving back to

108
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: my body, hopefully over time, I'm going to feel a

109
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: little less tired. Also, making your movement practice part of

110
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: your morning routine another huge, huge help. So if you

111
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: are one of those people that needs to really get

112
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: up and wake up before you can give any sort

113
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: of movement your full energy, establish some things that help

114
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: you get in the mood, so to speak, whether that's

115
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: journaling and sipping your coffee and maybe listening to a podcast.

116
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: Those are all three things in my morning routine that

117
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: I do without fail before I go to move and

118
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: it kind of sets the tone for where I'm going.

119
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: So try it out, let me know how it goes.

120
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Make sure you're following along with Hurdle Over at Hurdle podcast.
