1 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Emily Abadi here. You are listening to five 2 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: Minute Friday from Hurdle and Wow, what a week that 3 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: we have had with the going for It series. Don't 4 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: get it twisted. There are certainly going to be more 5 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: awesome stories that I will be recording and having during 6 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: the Olympic and Paralympic Games. They will be coming to 7 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: the feed and I could not be more amped. But 8 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: I thought that this was a fun way to kick 9 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: off such a special moment in sport, and also candidly, 10 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: for me, this is the first Olympics that I feel 11 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: like I'm really in my groove with both the podcast 12 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: and the writing that I'm doing. I feel as though 13 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: I actually have a seat at the table to have 14 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: really awesome and fun conversations. And so thank you for 15 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: being a part of that, because without you, the Hurdlers, 16 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have that seat.

I can't put my 32 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: finger on it, but I was sitting at my desk 33 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: feeling a little bit overwhelmed the other day, shortly after 34 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: interviewing Alison Felix for an article, and it came to me, 35 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: and it came to me very clearly, and by saying 36 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: that to myself and doing a few quick rounds of 37 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: box breath, I was reminded of who the hell I am, 38 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: which I could say in a different way, but I'm 39 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: keeping this PG here and what I am capable of 40 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: and all of the things that I have done up 41 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: to this point that have paved the way for where 42 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: I am. And then ultimately where I am going. I 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: am made for this moment, and it is just one 44 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: routine that I have, these mantras, but it is one 45 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: that is very helpful. And I'm sure that you have 46 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: routines in your day to day that help you come 47 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: back to self, that help you remember who you are, 48 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: that help you feel more capable, whether it is making 49 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: time to move your body first thing in the morning, 50 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: or prioritizing your own own personal mental health by speaking 51 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: to a therapist regularly. Whatever the routines are that you 52 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: execute regularly that help you feel good, those are worth 53 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: your energy. 54 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: You are worth your own investment. 55 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: And that is really the point of what I came 56 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: here to say this five minute Friday, This mantra I 57 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: am made for this moment is really resonating with me. 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: And I know that despite the ups and downs, the 59 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: things that I can't even plan for if I wanted to, 60 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: the craziness that is on deck for the next two 61 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: weeks as I leave for Paris this coming Monday and 62 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: spend the next two weeks doing something that I have 63 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: dreamed of doing for so long. This is all happening 64 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: not only because I am made for this moment, but 65 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: because I took the time to invest in myself knowing 66 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: that I am worthy of this investment, an investment that 67 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: arguably started back in college when I one day that 68 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: I was capable of putting myself first and beyond that, 69 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: not only was I capable, but I. 70 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: Deserved to do it. 71 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: So my prompter you this week, if you had to 72 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: lean into one mantra that feels really good for you 73 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: right now, what is it? 74 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: I would love it.
