Summary
First 5MF of the year! So happy to have the opportunity to catch back up with all of you and talk about the latest over here at Hurdle HQ. Proud of how I've started off 2024, with the exception of an unexpected injury that has me evaluating the importance of letting go of the things I cannot change (and prioritizing what I do have control over — my emotions). Also: Answering a listener question on how to bring excitement to work-from-home life.

| 0:04.0 | Hey, everybody. Emily Abadi here. You are listening to Five Minute Friday. Can I tell you when a couple of weeks go by and I don't do one of these? I know this is a one-sided conversation except for the interactions that we have on social over email and direct message. But I think to myself, like, |
| 0:41.2 | oh, it's been so long since we've had a moment to catch up. Do you feel that way? Am I crazy? |
| 0:46.5 | I'm unsure. Yeah, since I last did a five-minute Friday. I mean, we're in a new year. |
| 0:52.8 | 2024 has really started off in a way that makes me feel excited. I mean, we're in a new year. Uh, 2024 has really started off in a way that |
| 0:56.0 | makes me feel excited. I'm locking in opportunities and gigs for work. I'm really on my health |
| 1:04.3 | and wellness game. I've been sticking with a slew of my habits, which make me feel energized and |
| 1:09.7 | excited. Uh, one of my goals for the year was to really |
| 1:14.5 | lock back into my morning routine. And for me now, I make it a point not to touch my phone |
| 1:23.2 | until after I'm done with my breathwork and journaling practice, which means that it'll be |
| 1:29.4 | at least 15, 20, 30 minutes in the morning before I'm checking it out. What I've come to realize |
| 1:35.8 | is that nothing time sensitive is going to happen in those 30 minutes more often than not. |
| 1:42.0 | I'm talking for except extreme circumstances. And for me, |
| 1:46.0 | having that space for myself, the morning as a whole is a really big, this is Emily time. |
| 1:51.3 | But that extra 30 minutes being disconnected from the world where I have that space to breathe |
| 1:58.2 | and to do things for me and feels really, really good. So yeah, I wake up and I make |
| 2:05.3 | my coffee and I do the open nervous system reset and I'll link to that in the show notes if |
| 2:12.4 | you're interested in getting in on the free classes. And then I journal and I just started a new journal. I think there are a few |
| 2:18.9 | feelings in the world that feel better than that, having a fresh start on paper. And then I go about |
| 2:26.5 | the rest of my day. I usually work out in some way or I go outside for a walk. I get back in. |
| 2:31.7 | I make my omelet. I'm doing whole 30 right now. That even feels good. |
