• 0:20
  Speaker 1: What's going on everyone?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Emily Abadi here, you're listening to five Minute Friday from Hurdle.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: This week, I had a project that I was working
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: on that was the monster.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Let me break down what the monster is.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: It is the thing that, for no single individual, particular
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: reason at all, oftentimes we arbitrarily make something the thing
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: that we want nothing to do with examples of things
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that can become the monster, perhaps you need to clean
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: out your bedroom closet, or you have a proposal that
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you are diligently working on for your job. Or perhaps
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: you have an email that's been lingering in your inbox
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: for three months and you know you want to respond.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: To it, but you just haven't made the time.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: These are all things that you may unintentionally or intentionally
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: make the monster. And what we realize is oftentimes the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: thing that we do not want to do lingers over
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: us and really gets in the way of so many
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: other things, especially your vibe and your energy. So I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: had a project this week that I made the monster.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And whereas I know the opportunity that comes with tackling
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the monster head on and getting it out of your face,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I procrastinated and waited and waited until I wasn't capable
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: of waiting anymore, until a deadline was up on me.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I am on the other side of the monster. I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: have successfully made it, and I'm here to tell you
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that it feels better once you just handle it the monster.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: For me, I made it that way because I knew
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that it was going to make me confront things that
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I was scared to see. And I don't mean to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: be necessarily vague with this. I just don't think the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: details specifically are really relevant to the point I want
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to make. The monster, although scary, brought me clarity, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: clarity is something you will never be worse for having.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Let me provide you with an example.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I my last relationship was a long time ago, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: when I went through that breakup, I was devastated, but
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: knowing what was going on, having clarity enabled me to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: eventu move forward and I got to make the decision
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: of what I wanted to do next. Yes, there were
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: all of these feelings and some sadness and a whole
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: lot of what the hell is going on in my
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: life questions, but I had clarity on the situation.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I knew what I needed to know.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Think of this in relation to going after a job
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that you're really excited about, maybe your four interviews in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: on a lengthy application process and you finally find out
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that they're going with another candidate. Yes, it's sad, Yes,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it's a bummer. But with that clarity, now
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you can move on. With that clarity, I'd argue, there's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a weight lifted off your shoulders. Clarity is always a
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: good thing, even though getting it may be difficult. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that is a theme that I'm really doating with right now.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: That is a sentiment that I am bringing with me
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: into the weekend. My question for you this week my
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: listener prompt what is one thing that you got clarity
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: on lately and what's your next step? What is one
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: thing that you got clarity on lately and what is
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: your next step?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: And now a listener question. Hi Emily, my name is Mindy.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm so stoked to hear that you will be at
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the every Woman's Marathon in Savannah. I will be there
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: as well. My question for you is what's your post
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: race routine. I've mixed it up in the past where
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I might eye up a massage table if it's available,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: thinking why not, or maybe head for the food or
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: recap the race and chat with my family and friends.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Mindy, I am so stoked to be
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: at every Woman's Marathon, and actually in a couple weeks
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I have a special episode coming up whether you may
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: be doing that race or have something else on the
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: horizon in answering all the questions that you need to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: know before you toe the starting line.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But I digress.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: My post race routine is exactly what you said at
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the end there.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It's heading to.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Grab food with family with friends, usually a burger and
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: a beer and some French fries and really just decompressing
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in that way. I love a massage table, but for me,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: same day massage can be a little tricky. I would
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: much rather opt for a compression boot situation and then
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I schedule a massage about five days later, maybe four
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: days later, depending on how my body is feeling. That way,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I can really enjoy it a bit more than I
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: might be able to with those immediate post race legs.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Of course, you know your body, you have a feeling
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: for what might feel right. But I believe that after
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: an effort like that, regardless of your time or what happened,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it is something to celebrate your effort is something to celebrate,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: so relish in that. Make sure you're following along with
• 6:07
