Hey, everyone, Emily here. Happy Five Minute Friday. I hope you're having a wonderful week. I had,

I'm giggling. This week has been insane, insane in good and questionable ways in that I've been in San Antonio and I arrived on Tuesday. I am here to host a

conversation on women in sports media during a trade show called The Running Event. And on Tuesday,

after de-planning and going to a few events, I sat down to do some work and went to reach

for my laptop and realized that I left my laptop in the seat pocket on the plane. I have never done that before. I have left an Apple Watch on a plane

happened with the laptop. I have it. It is here next to me. But this whole not getting ahead of

myself thing, I used to not be good at this. I used to be the kind of person. I admittedly like things a certain way. Of course,

no one wants to lose something that's very important to them, but I would let the things that were

beyond my control really, really, really ruin my mental game, my, my everything, honestly, in the moments that

felt so much bigger than me. And through this practice, and I specifically call it a practice

because it is something that requires diligence, I have been able to get better at responding instead of

reacting. And so, yes, I had some feelings and felt overwhelmed when I realized the item was
