5-MINUTE FRIDAY: On Having The Grace To Deviate From the Plan · Hurdle with Emily Abbate

• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, everybody, Emily a body here. You are listening
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to five Minute Friday. I want to talk to you
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: this week about pulling out of a workout. I get
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: so many questions about motivation, how to get started, how
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to show up, how to do things when you just
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: don't feel like doing them, And oftentimes.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: My tip to that is just start.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: You'll be so surprised what happens when you get through
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the process of putting on your sneakers or throwing on
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that sports bra, putting on your leggings or your shorts
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and just begin, because that in itself is
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a massive hurdle. But what happens on the days where
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you do begin and you stick it out for those
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: five minutes, those ten minutes and it's just not clicking. Well,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened to me last weekend. I got
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: back to the city from Father's Day. I spent a beautiful,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: beautiful evening in Connecticut with my dad, and I laced
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: up to go for my run. And as of recent
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I have been doing my interval runs, which are at
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: this point in my training two minutes on, two minutes off,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: repeat for five rounds. I've been doing that on the treadmill,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and week by week I've been seeing progress and getting
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit faster, and it feels really good. Okay,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: but this week I decided to take it outside and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: so I did my first s rep and I looked
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: down and it's faster than I.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: It'ssibated.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I did my second rep and it felt hard, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I looked down and it was faster than I.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: It dissibated.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And so halfway through my third rep, as I felt
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like the heat was getting to me, I'm running later
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: than I usually do, I just made the call that
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I wasn't going to push through it. It didn't feel
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: right for me. And so in that moment, rather than
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: be hard on myself, rather than judge myself, I chose grace.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I chose the concept that there's tomorrow, and most importantly,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I chose to.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Not get worked up about it. Listen.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: That's not to say that every time something like this happens,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes, bow out, duck out. It is
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the time perfect. Maybe not, but for me, in this moment,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it did feel right, and I was happy that I listened.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And the next day I got up and I put
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: my sneakers on and I got started, and I did
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the workout as it was intended in its entirety, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that's it. And then I moved forward. Right, It's not
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the end of the world if you have to change
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the plan. That is why so often we hear this
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: phrase that training plans are meant to be written in pencil.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: This is a lesson that is applicable in so many ways,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: so much farther than running some days, all you can
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: do is the best you can with what you have,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and that is enough. Even if it looked different the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: day before or the week before. That is oh okay,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It is okay to change the plan. Listen to your gut.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I promise you'll never regret it. My prompt for you
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: this week, what is one area of your life that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you could use a pivot in and what would that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: pivot look like? What is one area of your life
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that you may need to have a little grace with
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: yourself take a little bit of a pivot and what
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: would that pivot entail? And now a listener question.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Hi, Emily, I was wondering if you could share more
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: about your life coaching certification. I know you've talked about
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: it in your stories and previously on the pod, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I wanted to dive in deeper and just ask if
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: how you knew it was the right move for you.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I have a few different health and wellness certifications, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time between twenty twenty and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty one working with a handful of clients, but
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it kind of fell off my priority list after having
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: my son in August of twenty twenty one. I've absolutely
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: loved pouring my heart and my soul into my family
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and know a little bit into my day job. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I just keep feeling this pull that I could be
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: and should be doing more, not only for others, but
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: also for myself. Anything you could share on the certification,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: how you chose it, which company you went with, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: then mostly how you're using it today and how it
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: has affected your own life would be so so appreciated.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you for this question. It's a good one.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So I did IPACK, which is the Institute of Professional
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Excellence in Coaching. It is a Certified Professional Coach certification,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and I chose to become a life coach because I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: felt inspired in two ways, first and foremost by the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: life coach that I'm working with I was referred to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: this life coach by a friend who used her, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it has been a really helped, full and super transformational
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: almost two years of us working together. And the second
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: reason that I chose this specific certification was that in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: my experience as a journalist, especially working in the wellness
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: industry over the last god almost decade, I have always
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: made it a point to go after education that serves
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: me in creating the content that can best serve my consumer.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So that is exactly why I became a certified personal trainer,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: then a certified run coach, then a Level one Precision
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Nutrition certified coach, and now a life coach, so to speak.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I found that through the show You're a Hurdler you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: listen to it, I was really dabbling in the self
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: help space and getting to a place where I was
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: coaching on career, life, family relationships, and so I felt
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: as though it was my responsibility to seek out the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: education that I could use to speak about these topics
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: in an extremely responsible manner. Now beyond the show, where
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I find myself using a lot of the skills I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: learned in this program in my interviewing through open ended
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: questions and really listening and talking about feeling. I am
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: also using this one on one with very minimal clients
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and in addition in creating the structure that I want
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to use moving forward when it comes to hurdler huddles
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and coaching opportunities for the community in the future. So
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I think that answers all of your questions, But if
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: there are more questions on life coaching, I would be
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: more than happy to create an individual Hurdle Moment episode
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to answer them. Just like all the other questions, if
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you ever have them, feel free to click the link
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: in the show notes, leave me a voice message, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: pending what happens there, I'm more than happy to create
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a special episode. Oh, in the last HitBit, it is
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: so understandable that you, my fear listener, are looking for
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: ways to kind of mix it up, pivot again, shift
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the plan, change the plan. I'm proud of you for
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: doing that inner inquiry and asking yourself, what is it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that I need to feel good right now?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: It's really beautiful.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Trust your gut, go with that, and also do the research,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: which is exactly the phase that you're in right now.
• 7:22
