Hey, everybody. Emily, here. You're listening to Five Minute Friday from Hurtle. I had a moment this week that I knew as soon as it happened.

It was exactly what I was going to talk about here today. That moment happened when I was in yoga at Mindstown to studio over in Chelsea.

I was there on Wednesday morning ticking class. I found myself, it was like, as though I had completely lost myself in the middle of the practice.

We were about halfway through. I was in my favorite pose. I don't know how it sounds.

I feel a little lame saying this, but my favorite yoga pose is tree pose. I don't really have a rhyme or a reason.

I know that it works ankle stability, which as someone who is navigating plantar fasciitis, this is something that I am sensitive to.

But regardless of that, I just always love how grounded and solid I feel in that specific pose.

Now, for those of you not familiar with tree pose, generally speaking, you stand on one foot.

You put your other foot, the sole of your foot on the inside of your inner thigh, and you raise your arms up into the air.

I was standing there in tree pose. My right foot was on my left thigh. I had a moment when I didn't remember or realize how I got there.

I was so in my own head thinking about other things that I had obviously been listening to the queuing of the instructor,

but did not remember getting into this place where I was in my favorite pose.

It was so surreal for me. The things that had been going on throughout the week kind of really just hit me head on.

I feel as though a lot of the things that I've been doing this week, I have just been on autopilot.

I haven't been present. I've been taking meetings and answering emails and working on who knows what.

And I look up and all of a sudden an entire day has gone by and I'm realizing that I keep just ending up in tree pose.

Now, luckily, in this instance, I'm miraculously in my favorite pose.

But hi, I want to feel that just like I want to feel everything, you know, the good and the bad.

There is this principle in the IPEC, the certified professional coach course that I'm finishing up now,

put on by the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching. A lot of big words there.

And the principle is there are no mistakes. There are only lessons.

And so I'm not angry at all about the fact that I feel as though I have been just going on autopilot.
