And then just some others that I won't 26 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: get into now. But it just felt like I this week, 27 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: like I would be running and it felt like I 28 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: couldn't get my feet under me. And then I got 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: knocked down, and then I got back up, and then 30 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: I was moving forward and I finally felt like I 31 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: was back in my groove again, and then I got 32 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: knocked down. And I just know that, man, if you 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: can probably relate to this feeling. So I'm sitting at 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: my desk and I was looking out the window and 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: thinking to myself about like the two different mindsets that 36 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: one can often have in this frustrating scenario. Right, There's 37 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: like the first mindset, which is like, Okay, let's focus 38 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: on the positives here, get your shit together. It's really 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: awesome that you have earned your seat at this table, 40 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: that your name is even in the ring for these things, 41 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: that your hard work is paying off. And you know what, 42 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: like this one thing not going as you had hoped, 43 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: it's okay because it's going to open up your energy 44 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: and your time for like the thing that is gonna 45 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: be the thing. 46 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: Okay. 47 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: So that's headspace number one. Headspace number two, it's you know, 48 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: woe is me? Why as just just sucking? I'm crying, Like, 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: can I just feel sad for a little bit? 50 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, like that one. 51 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: And I know I've told this story on the show before, 52 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: but I feel like it's a great time to bring 53 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: it back into the mix. When I was the fitness 54 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: editor atself in twenty sixteen, I was working on a 55 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: package for our Olympics themed issue and I interviewed a hurdler, 56 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: a serious hurdler named Don Harper Nelson, and Don talked 57 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: to me about the World Championships in Beijing in twenty 58 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: fifteen when she tripped over the second hurdle in one 59 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: of her races, and she was mortified and angry and 60 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: understandably upset, and she literally jumped a couple offenses so 61 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: that she didn't have to go toward where all the 62 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: media were waiting to talk to the athletes. And I 63 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: think she was in that process or thinking about undergoing 64 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: that process, when she finally stopped for a moment and 65 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: took a breath, and she realized in that moment, and 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: it's something I'd come back to time and time again, 67 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: which is why I'm sharing it with you possibly again, 68 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: that she had the opportunity in this moment to be 69 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: a upset for sure, that she knew she didn't work 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: that hard to quote unquote fail. But she also understood 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: that this was a teachable moment and that we have 72 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: the opportunity in all of these moments when things aren't 73 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: going as we had hoped to recognize the situation, take 74 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: a deep breath and learn from it. Talk about a 75 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: growth mindset, right. And So, as I was sitting here 76 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: at my desk thinking about all of this stuff, I 77 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: had my moment. I digested what was going on. I 78 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: talked it out with a friend, and then I decided 79 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: that headspace number one is just where it's at. I 80 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: am talking to you about this because lately, for me, 81 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: it feels as though the highlight reel is just in 82 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: full effect, like everyone around me is succeeding and their 83 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: life is all like glitz and glamor, even though they 84 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: are also like working from home and everything is going 85 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: right for everybody else, get me wrong, Like I love 86 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: to be your cheerleader. There's literally nothing that brings me 87 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: more joy. I love to see people succeed. I love 88 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: to cheer you on. I want to hype you up. 89 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: But it's just hard to not fall into the comparison trap, 90 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Still, I know that everyone 91 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: is dealing with their own struggle, their own things that 92 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: we're not seeing on social media. And so I open 93 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: up with you here because I want you to know 94 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: if there is something that you are struggling with, that 95 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: you are not the only one in the struggle, and 96 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: you will never be the only one in the struggle, 97 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: and neither well I. The fact is that we need 98 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: to show up and be honest with one another so 99 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: that we can destigmatize this idea that everything is supposed 100 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: to be roses and flowers all of the time, because 101 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, like I would love 102 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: roses and flowers all the time, but life doesn't work 103 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: like that. And so I know that I'm not the 104 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: only person here sitting in her gray jumpsuit. And I 105 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: say that also because I'm sure that you were all 106 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: targeted for the very gray jumpsuit that I'm sitting here 107 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: wearing from old Navy. I know I'm not the only 108 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: person sitting here in her jumpsuit at her desk feeling 109 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: some kind of way. And I also know that I 110 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to think about how I feel and 111 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: use that energy, use this frustration to level up to 112 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: go after the next thing. 113 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: That it is that I want and what a beautiful 114 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 2: opportunity that is this week. 115 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: For the prompt, I am asking you to get grateful 116 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: and come back to the idea. 117 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: Of focusing on the good. 118 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: So, what are three things that happen for you this 119 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: week that are your silver lining? 120 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: Again? 121 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: What are three things that happen for you this week 122 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: that are your silver lining highlights of the week.
