5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Do You Have An Energy Leak?

I’ve been seeing the same therapist since October. On Wednesday of this week, we had our last session together. I just had an inkling that I was ready to move on to the next chapter. Toward the beginning of our chat, she said “I’d like for us to round out our final session by you telling me what you’ve learned about yourself in our time together.” A few things stood out, but mainly this: It becomes pretty clear what things, people, and relationships you’re giving most of your energy to when someone offers you 45 minutes to talk about you week after week. For a while, I was giving some of the wrong things too much of mine. 

Your energy is your magic. In today's 5-MINUTE FRIDAY, I talk about this and more, as well as encourage you to do a personal audit.

PROMPT: What is one thing in your life that’s draining your energy? What’s one thing that excites you that you can replace it with?

REGISTER: Hurdle Sessions
Last week, I kicked off the launch of Hurdle Sessions: New online seminar programming, aiming to provide Hurdlers with education surrounding topics I’m well-versed in as a veteran journalist, entrepreneur, and run coach. On Tuesday, we covered “Intro to Podcasting,” which will be available for purchase shortly on the Hurdle website and raised $350 (!) for The Loveland Foundation. Coming up on Tuesday is “Intro to Freelance Writing.” Each Hurdle Session includes downloadable materials and a charitable donation.
