redefine fitness together and learn to balance fitness and fun. So Sarah, Kaylee, I have an idea for a topic but I don't really know what it is for sure. It's not helpful. Okay. But that's kind of how we roll. So how we roll. You have no idea what I'm about to talk about. I don't honestly even really know what I'm about to talk about but something did happen today. While it was happening I was like I have to figure out a way. Let's talk about this and maybe it's really
weird. Maybe people will think I'm weird. One of my New Year's resolutions which you know we've talked about in the past I don't really do New Year's resolutions. But now you have one? Well one of them is gonna get kind of weird but it's like
like to cry more. Do you want to cry more? Kind of but not like in a bad way but just in like I want to like I spent a lot of my adult life like trying not to feel things because I don't like to feel negative things and there are a lot of negative things went on you know early on in my 20s and I figured out a way to just like push it all. Tuck it away. Push it really deep down. Bury that trauma. But then I but then I learned years later that it didn't go anywhere. You're like oh
wait it's still there. Still there. But I have kind of curated this life where like I don't feel things or and I certainly don't let people know that I feel things. I joke. You do joke a lot. I'm funny. You are? The funniest people are the ones with the most trauma. Yes. So they're covering up something which makes them very
suspicious. I have no idea where this is going. It's making me nervous. One of the things over this last year that I feel has been one of the something that has helped me kind of release some of those emotions actually has been running. Right. That was kind of my first foray into like the fitness world but it's like and I know a lot of people can relate. A lot of runners can relate to this. It's like you just kind of like reach this point where I don't know. It kind of just starts
coming out that way through running. You can release some of those emotions. I started. Does it upset you that I give you a hard time for running? You can't hurt my feelings. Okay good. I just want to make sure I wasn't gonna squash this like epiphany. No no no. And I started this new thing and since it's cold out right now
it's slowly on the treadmill. That's my happy place and I've always had like a goal like I'm gonna you know run a 5k on the treadmill or I'm gonna do this speed and you know and like pushing myself and that's all great and well and there's nothing wrong with that but I started this new thing recently where I'm like I'm just gonna hop on the treadmill and I'm gonna run till I don't feel like running anymore and then I'm gonna walk until I feel like running
again. I'm gonna run till I don't feel you know and it's just like very like you can do it. I can actually do what I want you know and no nobody's gonna stop me. Right. You know and it feels really good and I haven't felt that in a long time like just like felt completely in control of my own you know and I'll push myself a little bit more but the key I found is like and we've talked about the stupid music I listen to. You do listen to stupid. Some stupid shit. It is
very stupid. But I won't listen. You don't have to. Okay good. But the combination of the running that I have control over and the listening to the music that I like to listen to and that could be different for it obviously that's going to be good. Not everybody who listens to Celine Dion you know that's fine. You do? The Queen. She's going. The Queen. Okay don't knock Celine Dion that will hurt my
feelings. That is a sensitive subject. Okay got it. Mm-hmm. I mean I just I actually kind of blanked out just a little bit when you started off with the treadmill is my happy place because we're already not on the same. I saw you glaze over a little bit. Now this is my turn to like glaze out. I don't get this feeling of euphoria and maybe it matter no maybe I'll get there someday and I feel like other people do but I don't get this
feeling of euphoria when I lift. It is very much a chore for me. It's hard. Well yes. Yeah. And not that I want it to be easy but I don't like I don't know I don't get that like hi I'm doing it I'm doing it you know it's like I'm doing it I do with that so yeah yeah so you're getting with running that's kind of where you can relate but so today I was doing it and I just was like going back to my weird New Year's resolution of like I just kind of want to like feel
more and cry more like it all just like weirdly came together. Did you cry on the treadmill? I cried on the treadmill. You did? You got it all out girl. Me? Running? Me? Celine Dion? My heart will go on. Just near, far, where ever. I love Celine Dion. It's not just Celine Dion. It's just whatever music you feel I know for you that would be like some heavy screaming you know chaotic situation and if that's what like you
know gets you right there then do that. So I don't know. So that's what hit you today.
That's what got me today. You know what I actually I like is that you or you've created that connection of how it's making you feel and going on that part of it right I mean you're like okay this is actually feeling good this make me feel and I'm getting control because those types of feelings that are what actually I feel like help create consistency long term now it's making you feel yeah there's like a sense of emotion connected to it and yeah now I'm like I
want to do it again I want to cry again yes give me that treadmill like I was like openly weeping but it's just like I think a lot of people and it's not just like it's not even just trauma it's just like if you have a hard time letting go like letting your emotions go or feeling the things that you should be feeling and I don't know maybe that's a maybe that's a unique thing feeling about feeling things yeah maybe so do you feel your feelings yeah just feel
them you feel them and you process them in a healthy yeah Wow I think so I mean I don't really know good for you do you cry oh yeah damn I can't I can't cry as matter of fact my best friend in the whole world just asked me a few weeks ago she's like do you ever just cry I'm like really no I haven't like my body has like a visceral reaction like when I feel like I'm about to cry my body's like no you aren't no we're not doing this no interesting very much so in
front of people have you ever seen me cry no I make you happy all the time I'm not really sure what I've done I don't cry I don't cry in front of people if I do cry it is very much alone but it's not very often that's not how my body processes emotions you used to you know I think I growing up I think crying wasn't necessarily seen as like a productive or accepted way of showing your emotions and I've struggled with that raising my own kids because I have
passed some of that onto them you know we don't cry I get very triggered when my kids cry I don't like it I'm very uncomfortable since they were a little tiny I don't like it makes my skin crawl I feel like you need to talk to somebody myself because I am NOT a qualified professional we need to get Emily back in here yeah we do we do need to get Emily back in here she is super helpful these different areas I think I'm not qualified for you know if this is a thing that you deal with I don't know
maybe it's just me maybe I'm the only weird person that can't cry but I have to I have to believe that I'm not well I will definitely say with my children if you're crying because it's something you got her or pain that's fine yeah but just crying for no reason I am I'm not a fan of that by any means yeah don't be whiny or cry or like yeah okay there's a certain okay you can feel your emotions but now it's done I can't make the differentiation
between like whining and crying like it's all just bad it's all bad to me just don't do it you know like there's better shit to do I do find myself saying a lot of times like oh I'm sorry like I will listen to you when you're speaking to me like a regular person like I don't understand what you're saying right now how often you cry I don't know it's not a regular thing but like I mean if I'm feeling emotions of like sadness or frustration or even like
if I'm super angry I will definitely cry if I get super angry just because it's like a volume of frustration that just doesn't come out any other way and then you do it and then you feel better yeah no and I actually like I've learned that recently because like you know something you know I actually received some fairly devastating news about a month ago and the whole next day I'm like I felt like there was like poison in the pit of my stomach and I'm like that I feel sick you
know like you just get like that sick to your stomach feeling that's like after you know after about half a day I'm like I think I might have a cry about this did you and I did okay and then I was like holy shit I feel a little bit you know I didn't fix the situation and it wasn't my situation to begin with but I felt better and I honestly I never knew that like crying was like actually like a physical release of like that poison feeling in the pit of your stomach so
you just reliving with all this poison basically you're not getting it out you know what it manifests as running anxiety oh it manifests as anxiety okay and I think if I've had some anxiety issues we need to talk about those I'm fine you know like obviously do you feel like you're having that say all those same level of emotions since you've been more consistent with your workout routine and exercising and running then you were before you were starting to do
some of that stuff like do you think it's played a factor yeah it's helped for sure has it really and I think but I yeah and I think what's the weird I don't know what that weird treadmill thing that I'm doing it I don't do that every day right usually it's like a weekend thing where I have time I have an hour to just like run don't run run right and you know that feels good but just as far as like overall anxiety since I've been working out for sure but it's not gone
completely I still struggle with a lot of that sure but it has been easier to manage does it feel like you kind of have some sort of like control or schedule or like consistency is that what it is or I think a lot of actual physical like physiological effects of exercising I think it has to do with like having a lot more of a more structure and routine in my life it does it helps me feel more in control and then I can you know deal with some
of those a lot of my a lot of my anxiousness is I can recognize that it's I don't want to say silly but silly you know it's made up situations that I let you know my mind kind of run with and the last year I've been able to like recognize like this this isn't something I can control and so stop that's like actually one of my favorite go-to like I don't have any tattoos but if I ever was to have a tattoo mm-hmm I would do like a very beautiful scripted word serenity
on the inside of my arm because the serenity prayer which I modified it a little bit but it's like grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change yep change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference because I feel like I say that mantra motto saying whatever you want to call it many times throughout the week or it's like okay this is a moment where it's like what what do I have control over what's worth it but just granting yourself the
opportunity to have that wisdom to be like okay is this worth it or not and that makes a huge difference finding something that works for you to kind of notice and name those reactions with what you're doing and your habits and all that fun stuff yeah cuz I was having a lot of anxiety about things that and you know essentially were made up things in my head that that then just don't go away faster they've yeah just kind of go run in circles yeah well
here's actually like the million dollar question though then like how far did you actually run that on your treadmill this today yeah miles well total three miles but I walk they ran I walk ran three miles did it feel like the same three miles when you kind of went into it that mindset as it does if you say go into I'm just gonna do a really different no it's completely different I didn't want to stop I told myself I was gonna you know three miles and like like
get on with your day I had shit to do like okay I've clocked my time I'm but it actually would be kind of interesting like case study to do for yourself at some point to be like okay well if you stop thinking about a certain target or goal yeah I'm just go based on feeling like I could have gone a lot longer how long would you go or how long would it take for you to actually I mean maybe that was the beginning of feeling new emotions
unlocking something else as far as like the responses or how you're I don't know that would actually be kind of interesting you know like how far would you go yeah or could you go if you just did what you wanted mm-hmm yeah it's been super fun that was your first time that you've ever done that so before you're like it was the first time that I think it like turned into like a weird like I don't know I don't want to say spiritual because it wasn't spiritual
but it kind of was though emotional experience but that being said I have done the like I'm just gonna go down I'm just like you know screw around on the treadmill and do what I want to do yeah and I've always enjoyed doing that like it's unlocked more a weekend thing that's how I'm spending my weekends Sarah these days on the treadmill just messing around on the treadmill fun for me that's what I do oh I think it plays into like I mean so this is season 3 the
last episode which is 24 yeah and I don't need therapy so clearly but I do think that it pulls together though a lot of the things that we've talked about especially with some of our guests because you know they've there's all been like these different components that weave into somebody's kind of fitness journey finding what works for you even if it works for you is you know different weird shit you know but it's it's what works for you it's
