5-MINUTE FRIDAY: When All You've Got Is 50%, Give 100% Of That · Hurdle with Emily Abbate

• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Emily Badi here, you are listening to another
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: episode of Five Minute Friday on Hurdle. Good morning, good afternoon,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Good evening. I want to talk about giving one hundred
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: percent of whatever you have on any given day. I'm
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: just going to jump right into it. This week has
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: been challenging for me for a number of reasons, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I in the past have been very frustrated with myself
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: during moments of turbulence, especially when there are items that
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I need to get done on my to do list,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: or I just feel as though I, quote unquote should
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: be able to operate in a different capacity. The fact is, though,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that we are not going to wake up every single
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: morning and have it all together.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: The motivation may not always be there.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The amount that we feel capable is going to differentiate
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: from day to day. And so something that has really
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: stuck with me lately is that on the days that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you wake up and you feel that you only have
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: seventy percent to give fifty percent to give, it is
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: up to you on that day then to give one
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: hundred percent of the seventy of the fifty and when
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you view it in that way, you stop shoulting on yourself.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: If only just a little right. When you view it
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in that way, you approach the days where your tank
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: feels like it's half full, and yes I'm saying that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: full to be optimistic. You're approaching that day where the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: tank feels half full with a bit more grace, with
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a bit more compassion for how it is that you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: are capable of showing up in that moment to meet
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that moment. Listen, it would be weird if you woke
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: up every day and fell to one hundred percent.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: That is not human.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And in the scheme of things here, we're talking about
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: being relatable and vulnerable and not perfect. No one is perfect.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Say a letter for the people in the back. So
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: maybe this is you this week. Maybe you're also feeling
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: like your battery is in the yellow right, So when
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it's in the yellow, do the best to show up
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: with what you can to meet that moment and recognize
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that it won't stay in the yellow forever. When you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: give yourself grace and compassion, you are pluging it in right,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and it's going to take time to get back up.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's going to take time to recharge. But when you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: plug it in and you do the best you can
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: with what you have. That's truly all that you can
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: ask of your self. Right now, I'm personally navigating a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: bit of grief, a bit of loss, and grief is cruel.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It doesn't care what plan you have, it doesn't care
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: what's on the agenda, and it certainly pays no mind
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to any of your wants and desires.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: But the thing about grief.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And loss is that it reminds us that even through
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the pain, there can be light if only you choose
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to see it. And so this week I am choosing
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to do the best I can with what I have
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to give one hundred percent on the days that I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: feel seventy percent, and for me right now, that fear
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like enough. My thought prompt for you this week is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: where are you being a little too hard on yourself?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: How can you ease the judgment and embrace grace because
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you deserve it? Where are you being a little bit
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: hard on yourself? And how can you embrace grace in
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: your day to day? And now a listener question, Hey, Emily,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: longtime listener of the pod. So grateful for you and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: this community. Thank you for answering questions on five Minute Friday.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I always love hearing fellow listener questions and enjoying your
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: take on whatever the topic is. I've been getting back
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: into running, and it's spring in Nebraska, which means the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: weather is all over the place. I can't seem to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: find the right long pant legging that doesn't feel like
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it's falling down while I run. Not sure if I'm
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: sizing correctly or if it's the brand. So I'm curious.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: What are your favorite leggings to run in? Is there
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a certain compression that's best for running?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Thanks?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And Megan, Oh Megan, Oh my god, Do I have
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: some go tos? My first go to is the Fast
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and Free legging from Lululemon. I size down one size
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and that gives me the right amount of I don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: know how if there's a word for this. I mean
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you said the word comprushing.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: It's like the that's the noise I think of when
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I think of how I want my running tights to feel.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I love that legging, the Fast and Free.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I wear the Wonder Train high Rise six inch short
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: with pockets as well. They currently don't have it on
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the site, but they do have the regular version at
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: this moment. Truly, if you look at my drawers These
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: are the two items you will see the most up.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I do have favorites from a few other brands, including
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Nike and Athleta, and I will link to those in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the show notes, but I would say that a majority
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of my tights and shorts are from Lulua Lemon. I
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: do also have Yeah, this is a sleeper pick, but
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I bought four pairs of.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: It last summer.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: An eighteen dollars favorite short from Target that I will
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: also link in the show notes, and I'll do a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: post on like to Know it as well, so if
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you follow me over there, I'll link my profile in
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the show notes.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You can always.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Stay up to date with the picks that are in
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: my regular rotation. One other note here is that when
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you are dressing for the season, the day you want
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to be dressing like it's fifteen degrees warmer outside than
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it actually is. So if it's a fifty degree day
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and you're someone that's comfortable running in shorts, you'll probably
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: want to opt for a short over a tight, because
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the real feel for your body once you get moving
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: is going to be sixty five degrees. That's just one
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: temperature example, So dress.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: To be comfortable.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: You don't want to get overheated out there, because we
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: do not need extra things making that work feel harder
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: than it is. Make sure you're following me over on
