5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Is This Listener Flirting With Me? · Hurdle with Emily Abbate

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Emily here man, I geez, five minute Friday.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: What is good?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I am so happy to say the word Friday right
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: now because this week has had so many highs and lows,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and I am ready for a really beautiful weekend.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: It's supposed to be gorgeous here in New York this week.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: For five Minute Friday, I want to talk for a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: second about some of the lows, because the concept of
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the show hurdle the whole premise here me talking to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: so many awesome individuals garnering tips and tricks for us
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to live healthier and happier lives, but also to hit
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: home this idea that it is possible for us to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: overcome even the most difficult, upsetting, frustrating hurdles in life.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And my attitude is that going through these hurdles better
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: prepares us to navigate whatever else comes our way in
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the future. Cool For me, this week had a lot
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of rejection on the work front. I felt as though,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and I mean that happens right because for me, I'm
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: constantly making what feels like really large asks to get
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: people to give me their time, and time is something
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you can't get back, so you can have all of
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the best intentions and be a really good person, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: just literally not have the bandwidth to offer someone your time.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And so, long story short, I had been chasing a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: guest for what feels like years now, and I finally
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: thought I had an in and that in didn't shake out,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and I was really bummed about this.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I think this was back maybe on Monday or Tuesday
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: of this week.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: And I will also say that this happens all the time,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and sometimes these like hard to get guests, they do
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: come back around. So that's why it's always really really
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: important to treat people with kindness because you never know
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: when they could come back into the mix. But okay, anyway,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I was really bummed about this, but I made the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: conscious decision, literally like within minutes of getting the this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: just isn't going to happen email, that I would do
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: something to find the bright side of the day. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: so I got up from my desk. This was like
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: tail end of the day, I want to say, like
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: five forty five. I took a walk around the neighborhood.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I came back in, I made dinner, and I reset,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and I came to realize as the week went on
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: from that moment that I had adopted this mentality that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I wasn't going to let the things that weren't going
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: as I I had hoped define how my week would go,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and I started to take more notice of the things
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that were going right right I chose that positive perspective.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'll give you some examples here. I found a men's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: gratitude to even just show up to track practice on
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Tuesday when I hadn't been in like six weeks. Every
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: single night this week, I purposefully looked out my window
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at the sunset. It's been absolutely gorgeous lately here in
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: New York, and I would stand there and just stare
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: at it in amazement of the fact that, like I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to do that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I woke up earlier than I had intended to the.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Other day, and instead of being like, oh, I'm so
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: frustrated that I'm not sleeping, I was like, Wow, look
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: at me having this chance to get done the things
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that I have been putting off around the apartment before
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it's light enough outside to actually leave and do some
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: form of exercise.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Now see how I'm shaping all this?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: See Yah, there's so much opportunity within perspective here. It's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: easy to get caught up in the stuff that isn't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: going as we'd hoped. But my message this week for
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: five Minute Friday is to take hold of what you
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: can control and let go of the things that you can't.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: There is so much that's going on in your life
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: right now that you probably don't even realize is something
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that maybe you have wanted forever. And as easy as
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it is again to use that word easy to get
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: caught up in all the things that aren't happening and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all the things that aren't going to plan, so to speak,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the best thing that you can do is just take
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a second to find the gratitude for the things that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: are shift that perspective and move forward from there. So
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: my prompt for you this week, what is one great
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: positive thing that you can reflect on from the past
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours? Again, what is one in a great
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: positive thing that you can reflect on from the past
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours? And now I'll listen our question.
• 5:06
