0:00.0 | What's going on, herdlers? I'm only about a year. You're listening to Five Minute Friday. |
0:23.4 | I am bringing forth to the feed. Something that I shared yesterday via my Instagram. And that is the |
0:36.1 | I am overwhelmed. I can do hard things hour. There's probably a quick way to sum that up. Let's go with I |
0:45.1 | can do hard things hour. So basically what happens for me is every week there is a list of items that I |
0:54.6 | am aware of that I am also putting off. I'll put them on my to do list and every day perhaps because |
1:03.6 | the item itself is overwhelming. I will go through my to do list and not check off that particular |
1:10.9 | item. And in doing that, I recognize that the reason I am not checking it off is because again, |
1:17.7 | it is overwhelming. So what I've started to do each and every week is set aside between 90 minutes |
1:26.0 | and two hours to get this thing done. To check off the things on my to do list that make me feel |

2:03.4 | to show up, to do, to complete. And so upon sharing this on my social media yesterday, |
2:13.0 | I wanted to make sure that I brought it into the feed, this idea of the hour where you handle all |
2:18.2 | of the things that make you feel maybe perhaps even lesser than what happens if you tackle all |
2:24.6 | of those things, what happens if you are reminded of your capability, what happens if you just |
2:30.6 | get it done. I'll tell you what happens. You are reminded that you are capable. You can do hard |
2:38.1 | things. And when all of those things that are prevalent in the moment are no longer on your to do |
2:44.4 | list, you are undeniably in a position to feel more free, to do more with your time, to be less |
2:54.0 | stressed, and what a beautiful gift that is. And so this week, Reviving Friday, I asked you |
3:00.9 | this question, what is on your overwhelming list and are you capable of setting aside that hour |
