Hey, everyone.

Hey, everyone. Emily Abadi here. You are listening to Five Minute Friday from Hurtle. I am recording

live looking at the water right now on a Virgin Voyage's cruise ship. It's, my gosh, it feels a little

silly to talk about this because there's so much going on in the world. But this was something that I planned back in November. And so I am getting off the ship tomorrow. I've been on it for a week. Unfortunately, we haven't had the best weather. It's been rainy and cloudy for most of the time here. I think out of the seven days, we got one day of sun. but an amazing place to be despite the fact that it

wasn't sunny and bright. I mean, the facilities are gorgeous. The restaurants are top-notch.

I went to Extra Virgin last night. If you live in New York, you know how amazing their food is.

And so much fitness, like the fitness facilities on this boat are mind blowing and something like 20 classes a day.

Again, so much different than anything I ever remember cruising to be.

So if you are looking for some sort of a trip that I would say is pretty budget conscious, I would definitely recommend looking into going on

a Virgin Voyages cruise. I digress. I've been thinking a lot this week because I'm out of my

usual one about routine. And it's something that I'm writing about in the newsletter today.

I talked about recently on social as well. Routine in my mind is such a

gift. And there are always going to be things that beckon us to get out of our routine, right?

Whether it is uncontrollable circumstance, even though you may be home, whether it is travel,

work travel, disagreements or arguments with friends or loved ones that make

you feel some kind of way.

So many different things can pull us out of our normal routine or make it feel like the routine is not possible.

But what has been a constant for me, despite so much uncontrollable, over the last 365,

is doing the same things almost every single day, although those things

might look a little bit different. So the aspects of my routine right now that feel so good

to me, my morning routine habits stack, if you will. It involves breathwork, journaling,

gratitude, moving my body, light exposure. Those are non-negotiables for me.
