• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, emilya body here. You're listening a five minute
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Friday from Hurdle. Can I tell you that this week
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: has felt really, how do I say this? Fulfilling? It's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: felt fulfilling and it's felt good. I would be remiss
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: if I didn't say that. The last month or so
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: has certainly, on the work front, at the very least,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: held its fair share of challenges. I felt as though
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I was throwing some stuff at the wall and hoping
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it would stick, and nothing was sticking. And on Wednesday
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and Thursday of this week it felt like, after weeks
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: months of throwing stuff at the wall, not only was
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's sticking, but it was happening in abundance. And it's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: so easy these days in we talk about it all
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the time, this culture, this climate of the highlight reel
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to just have the impression that someone is winning all
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of the time. And I will be the first person,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: well maybe not the first person, but I will be
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the person today that tells you that that is just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: so not true, that is not how it works forever.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yes that I hear, I'm likely told a dozen knows,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and every so often I have these days. I have
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: these days where it feels as though, what did I
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: do to deserve this goodness? And I was reminded this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: week that what I did was that I persevered. What
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I did was that I put in the work. What
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I did is that I kept showing up even when
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it felt hard. And so this week, for five minute Friday,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: which might actually come in at exactly five minutes, this
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is really all that I want to run home. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: want to tell you to keep going. I want to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: tell you to keep your chin up. I just watched
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the last season of Missus Mazel, and in Missus Masel,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the marvelous Missus Masel, she says to her manager all
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of the time, tits up. And so I want to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: tell you, tits up. The journey is gonna have bumps,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they are gonna be hurdles. But if you can just
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: believe that there is goodness that is out there for you,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and that if you keep being a good person and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: being kind, it will come back around. Then trust me,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the hard days are gonna feel a little bit easier
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: knowing that, I promise you. I do want to say
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that on the day that it felt like all the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: good things kept coming. The first day on Wednesday of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this week, I had a busy schedule and I scheduled
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in a workout for myself at twelve noon, which you
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: know me, is not my normal. I'm definitely typically a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: morning workout person. But I was lying in my bed
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that day and knew I needed another hour and a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: half and so I scheduled in that time for myself.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And by taking that time, by making time for myself,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: by giving to myself, it felt like that was the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: foundation for me to then open myself up to goodness,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to be more fully present in the things that I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: was doing. And as a result, the good things started coming,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I believe because I started by being good to myself.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And so I prompt for you this week, how can
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you be good to you? What is one thing that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you can do for yourself today that doesn't need to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: take mounds of effort. Maybe a compliment that you can
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: give yourself, a fifteen minute break that you can take,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: take a walk around the block, splurging for that iced
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: coffee that you've avoided getting all week because you're trying
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit better with your spending. I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: get it. I am always with you. What can you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: do for you today to give back to you, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: now a listener question.

• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a great day. I wanted to see if you have
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: any suggestions or tips for someone who wants to get
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: into cycling. I'm a longtime runner and have a chronic
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: knee injury unfortunately now, so I am unable to keep
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: running like I used to, and I'm really looking for
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a new active hobby that can keep me moving and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: kind of fill the void in terms of that dwarphin rush.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: But I am super duber beginner when it comes to biking.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It looks like something I would really enjoy, but kind
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of scared to get started and not really sure where
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to get started. So any tips you have would be amazing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, thank you for everything that you do. Appreciate you.

• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Listener from San Diego. Today is weekly Heardle newsletter is
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: sharing four essential lessons I learned as a new cyclist. Now.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I know that you're asking specifically about tips to getting
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: on the bike, and my biggest tip truly is just
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to start. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: on a good bike In fact, there are plenty of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: bikes that are for sale on sites like Craigslist and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Facebook Marketplace so that you can get in the saddle
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: at a discounted price. Now, once you do get your wheels,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: once you get on the bike, my biggest tip, like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I said, is to simply just start and keep it
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: super local in that process. So, I know that riding
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: far from home can be really intimidating, So do yourself
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a favor, make a loop around the neighborhood that feels
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: safe for you, make sure somebody has your location, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: start out with just twenty minutes. And then before you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: know it that twenty minutes you're going to be ready
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to elevate and upgrade to thirty, thirty to forty and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: so on. So the biggest tip here when it comes
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to wanting to start something new, and I love that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: this listener is listening to their body, is to truly
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: just start and know that you're not the only person
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that's a beginner. There are going to be so many
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: great let's see resources out there, Instagram pages, a lot
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of really great helpful content. Follow all of the people,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: gain all of their wisdom, and be easy with yourself again.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Knowing that it's okay to be a beginner, and you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: only get the opportunity to be a beginner once. So,
