5-MINUTE FRIDAY: How Can You Be More Present In Your Day-to-Day? · Hurdle with Emily Abbate

• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Emily Doatti here. You're listening to five Minute
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Friday from Hurdle. I had a moment this week that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I knew as soon as it happened it was exactly
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: what I was going to talk about here today. And
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that moment happened when I was in yoga at Liinstein
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to Studio over in Chelsea. I was there on Wednesday morning,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ticking class and I found myself. It was like as
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: though I had completely lost myself in the middle of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the practice. We were about halfway through and I was
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in my favorite pose. It sounds I don't know how
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it sounds. I feel a little lame saying this, but
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: my favorite yoga pose is tree pose. I don't really
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: have a rhyme or reason. I know that it works
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: ankle stability, which as someone who is not getting planter veggiitis,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: this is something that I am sensitive too. But regardless
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of that, I just always love how grounded and solid
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I feel in that specific pose. Now, for those of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you not familiar with tree pose, generally speaking, you stand
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on one foot, you put your other foot, the sole
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of your foot on the inside of your inner thigh,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and you raise your arms up and in the air,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and so I was standing there in tree pose, my
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: right foot was on my left thigh, and I had
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a moment when I didn't remember or realize like how
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I got there, Like I was so in my own
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: head thinking about other things that I had obviously been
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: listening to the queuing of the instructor, but did not
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: remember getting into this place where I was in my
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: favorite pose. And it was so real for me. It
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was as though like the things that had been going
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: on throughout the week kind of really just hit me
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: like head on, and that I feel as though a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: lot of the things that I've been doing this week
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I have just been on autopilot. I haven't been present.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I've been taking meetings and answering emails and working on
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: who knows what, And I look up and all of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a sudden, an entire day has gone by, and I'm
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: realizing that I keep just ending up in tree pos. Now, luckily,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in this instance, I'm miraculously in my favorite pose. But Hi,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I want to feel that, just like I want to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: feel everything, you know, the good and the bad. There
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is this principle in the IPECK, the Certified Professional Coach
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: course that I'm Finishing Up now put on by the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Institute of Professional Excellence and Coaching. A lot of big
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: words there, and the principle is there are no mistakes,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: there are only lessons. And so I'm not angry at
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: all about the fact that I feel as though I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have been just going on autopilot. But I now have
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this awareness that it's not what I want. I want
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to soak it in. I want to soak in the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: good moments. I want to experience, as hard as they
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: can be, the bad moments, and I want to be
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a participant in my own life. And something that really
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: resonated with me from the conversation that I had earlier
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: this week with Danielle Laporte is she said that sometimes
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: we have to get to a point where it's like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: are you unhappy enough yet? Are you tired enough yet?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Are you fed up enough yet? And it's when we
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: get to that level of extreme that we are often
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: as humans, finally able to make a change. And so
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I recognize this, and I see this, and I don't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: want to be here. So it's time to make a shift.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And if you hear my story and it is something
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that resonates with you, then I encourage you to pay
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit more attention along with me. That episode
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I Reverence with Daniel Laporte. It's a hurdle moment on
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: how to identify patterns that are holding you back. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: will link to it in the show notes. My prompt
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: for you this week are you present in your day
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to day? And if not, how can you be more so?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: How can you be more present in your day to day?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And maybe, while you're at it, right down a highlight
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: from your week and now a listener question.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Hi, Emily, this is Marissa from Burlington, Vermont. I am
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: starting to shift my running goals and want to work
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: on becoming a stronger marathon runner. So my question is
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: what are the benefits of working with a running coach
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: and how would I go about finding a running coach
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: in my local area or using a running coach coach online?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for being so open and honest
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: with everybody. It really is such an inspiration getting to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: listen to your experiences as we navigate this athletic field.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Thanks again, Hey, Hey, thanks so much for your listener question.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: As a reminder, if you have a question that you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: want me to answer on an upcoming installment of five
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Minute Friday. I would love to the link to leave
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: me a voice messages in the show notes, but if
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you are more comfortable recording a voice recording on your
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: phone and sending it to us over email, that totally works.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Hit us up over at Hello at hurdle dot Us.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So running coaches huge fan of using a coach. Even
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: certified coaches need coaches. I have worked with many a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: running coaches for many different reasons, and it is important
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to identify your why before you hire one because knowing
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: your why can lead you in the direction of a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: coach that may work best for you. So for me,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I have worked with a running coach at different times
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: with different whys. I've had the why of wanting to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: get faster. I've also had the why of really seeking
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: an accountability buddy, and so knowing that I was able
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to talk to different coaches and vet them, so to speak,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to figure out which relationship, which dynamic felt right for
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: me in the space that I was in knowing my why,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and as Marisa mentioned, you can work with a coach
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: remotely or in person, and often coaches will have different
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: plans based on what they know that their clients may want.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: They could have an option where they run with you
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: once a week, once a month, or they could just
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: create you a plan. They can be available over texts,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: so feel free to ask a potential coach what they
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: typically offer their clients and make sure that it matches
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: up with what it is that you are seeking. You
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: will never regret over communicating what it is that you
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: are after from the get go so that you can
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: manage those expectations, especially because, let's be real, running can
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: feel hard enough sometimes. So when it comes to choosing
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: your coach, first and foremost, make sure that they have
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a relevant certification. You want a coach that has done
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the work. I would say the most prevalent certifications out
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: there are USA, TF, McMillan, Coaching, UESCA, r r CA,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and ISSA. So definitely look to see that the coach
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you are interested in working with has a certification that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they have done the important work that they need to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: do so that they can help you get to where
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you want to be. Beyond that, you want to make
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: sure that you get on a call with them so
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that you can feel it out. As cool as someone
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: may seem to you on social media, there is going
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to be a vibe there. You've got to do a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: vibe check and make sure that theirs fits with yours.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And I'll just reiterate this more time. Know what you
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: want going into it. So maybe you just want a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: coach to create a custom plan for you. Maybe you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: do want someone that's going to text you regularly. Perhaps
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you want someone who is coaching a group and so
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you can have other people that you're chatting with and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: running with and communicating with, whether it be Irl or
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: over Slacker, Zoom or whatever. You get the point. But
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: knowing exactly what you want, not only from your coach
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: but also from your experience is really going to help
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you get to exactly where you want to be and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: on your way to whatever your big goal might be too.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's it for now. Make sure you're following
• 8:27
