5-MINUTE FRIDAY: You Get What You Give · Hurdle with Emily Abbate

• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Emily A Badi here, you are listening to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: five Minute Friday from Hurdle. I am in a good
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: mood this week, and I want to encourage you to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: ask yourself what it is that you're after. Why I
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: am saying that is that I know so many times
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: on the show before I have said the sentiment. I've
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: shared this thought that energy attracts like energy. And on
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a week that is commercialized to be all about love,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: as a single woman, it could be easy to feel
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: some kind of way about it, and that's understand but
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I have had the best week and I firmly believe
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it is because I am exuding love. I once sat
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: down with Brendan Collinsworth. He was working with Core Power
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: at the time, helping to develop their first new program
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in quite some time, previously a Nike trainer, such a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: sweet guy, and he said something that really resonated with me,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: which was that if you want love, you must be love.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And in approaching my week this way, I really was
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: met with so much goodness. I don't just mean by
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: my friends and my family and the people that I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: see all the time, but by complete strangers on the subway,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: at the donut shop where I ran to on Tuesday.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: In my inbox, unexpected opportunities popping in multiples. Candidly, I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: just felt like, because I was approaching my day to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: day this week with an optimistic attitude, that I was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: being met by the universe with good things. And that's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: not to say that every day it's easy to wake
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: up and choose positivity and light, of course not. However,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: if you remind yourself that you have that opportunity, that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it is available to you, even in the moments when
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it might not feel that way, you may just be
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: surprised with how the universe and how the world shows
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: up for you in return. Earlier, I was on the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: phone and I said a sentence that I haven't said
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in months. I said, I feel really good in my
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: body right now. And I don't just mean like in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: general with how my body feels, but with the injuries
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that I've dealt with for so long. This week I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: went on multiple runs and I haven't thought about my
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: mee at all. And I say this two weeks out
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: from a marathon, and I believe that it is caused
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: by the fact that I am choosing where I want
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to be in this space. I don't want to sit
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in this woe is Me space. I don't want to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: sit in this victim mindset. I want to be in
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a place where not only I feel in control, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I have immense amounts of gratitude for what my body
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: has empowered me to do, even in the moments where
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it hasn't operated as I've wished. Right right now, I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: feel content and I'm not focused on the things that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I am without, but rather on the goodness that I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: am with that I do have. And so my problem
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for you this week is what's one highlight from your
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: past twenty four hours? I literally answer this question every
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: single day in a notebook when I journal, after I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: do my breath work in the morning, and by doing so,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and I've shared this on the show before, it enables
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: me and empowers me to reflect on the past day
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and be more present and think about the good. And so,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: maybe you're not at the place right now where you
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: feel like you can get on this positive mindset train,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and that's okay, but it starts small. And so, what
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: is one good thing that you can highlight from the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: past twenty four hours? Where's your gratitude at? And now
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a listener question.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, Emily, this is Janet, longtime listener. I know you
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: do so many different types of projects and you're such
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, but I was wondering of all the projects
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that you do most recently, in which ones do you
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: feel the most creative? And like are your biggest creative outlets?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Hey Janet, Oh, this is a good one. Okay, When
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: do I feel my most creative? Generally speaking, I have
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities to feel creative in the work
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that I do, And there are two airs specifically that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I feel my most creative, and both of them involve brainstorming.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So the first one is on my bi weekly call
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that I have with Chelsea, my assistant. We brainstorm upcoming
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: content and things for the show, and in that meeting
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I love how we get to flex those creativity muscles.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: And then the other moments that I feel the most
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: freely creative are probably the ones where I am concepting
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: or pitching brands on ways that we can collaborate. And
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: so what that might look like is I am working
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: with Adidas on things for the Boston Marathon, and I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: know what their objectives are, and then I think about
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: what within my skill set I could bring to the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: table to make that experience great for not only the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: customer the individuals that they're trying to engage, but also
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: for my audience as well. I hear those words come
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: out of my mouth and it's fun for me because
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I never took marketing or marketing classes in college. Yet
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: so much of what I do now for the show,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: for the offerings that I've created, for the lane that
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I've carved for myself, is within that wheelhouse, and it's fun.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I'm constantly learning, I'm constantly evolving, and it really does
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: keep things interesting. Make sure your following the show over
