1 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: Hey, it's em you're listening to five Minute Friday. Someone 2 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: told me yesterday that when they think of my name, 3 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: they think of me as Emily, a body like need 4 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: the first and the last name. I can be just Emily. 5 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: That's cool with me anyway. I digress. Hey, what's up. Hello, 6 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: I've had a week. I want to tell you what 7 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: I did this week. I booked my trip for the 8 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: Berlin Marathon. And I'm gonna be honest, I am scared 9 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 1: as hell to even say that, because right now I 10 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: am sitting in front of this microphone speaking to you 11 00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: while also simultaneously icing my foot, and I have the 12 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: confidence from my PT team that I am capable of 13 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: doing this, that I will be okay to do this, 14 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: But man, does it feel as unsettling as everything to 15 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: say to myself, I am going to be able to 16 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: run a marathon at the end of September, knowing that 17 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: I am regularly going through random, sporadic pain now, and 18 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: I say that also recognizing that things now are much 19 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: different than they were five months ago. These days, right now, 20 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: I am strength training three days a week, running three 21 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: days a week, and doing yoga Monday a week, and 22 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: some of those are doubled up, so I still have 23 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: a rest day on Sundays. And with that said, I 24 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: was certainly not running three days a week back in January. 25 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: In fact, I was taking the month off of running 26 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: in January. So yeah, I just have a lot of feels. 27 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: This has been something I've wanted to do for a while, 28 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: and I also recognize that London was something I wanted 29 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: to do for a really long time, and I put 30 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: that off for a year after I had registered for it. 31 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: So what will be will be. 32 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: But the hotel is booked, the flight is booked, the 33 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: after travel is mostly booked, and I Am just going 34 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 2: to do the best I can with what I have. 35 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: I feel now like booking all of this and kind 36 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: of putting this all in motion. I was really committed 37 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: to my recovery before, but this feels like I am 38 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: being intentional with where I'm going and my commitment to 39 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: where I'm going, and that feels really good. It feels 40 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: like I'm doing something for me, despite how scary it is. 41 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: I will be the first to say that over the 42 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: last few years, I've learned a lot more about valuing 43 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: and prioritize zaying things like this prioritizing the things that 44 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: I need to do for me so that I can 45 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: show up better for myself and then in turn better 46 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: for the people that I care about. And so I 47 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: tell you all of this to bring you to this 48 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: prompt at the end of five Minute Friday. Here, what 49 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: is one thing that you can do for yourself today 50 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: to prioritize you. And it doesn't have to be something big, right, yes, 51 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: signing up for a marathon big to do. And also 52 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: I say that, and some people listen to this might 53 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: be like, that is my own that sounds like personal torture. 54 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: And that's okay. Your self care. Doesn't need to make 55 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: my self care. So what is one small action it 56 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: can literally be today. I will walk around the block today, 57 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: I will speak to myself like I would a loved one. Today, 58 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: I will make sure to drink six glasses of water 59 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: because I know that I feel good when I'm hydrated, 60 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. So what is one thing that 61 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: you're going to do for yourself today that is giving 62 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: back to you you prioritizing yourself and feeling good. And 63 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: now a listener question. 64 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, It's Mandy from San Francisco. I've been traveling 65 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: a lot more for work lately and keep ending up 66 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: in New York a little sick of everything within a 67 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: two block radius of my Midtown hotel and would love 68 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: some recommendations for where to venture out, where to eat, 69 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 3: where to drink, where to walk, what pasta to get, 70 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 3: and where looking forward to the res. 71 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: Lucky for you, Mandy, I have an entire weekly hurdle 72 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: on this very topic. My favorite place is to eat 73 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: breakfast and brunch, and eat lunch and dinner and have 74 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: cocktails and sweat all of the categories. So I'm will 75 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: link that in the show notes.

There are so many unbelievable pastas at restaurants 82 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: and spots that are really hard to get into, like 83 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: Lilia and Carbone.
