So we were in the habit of, you are well aware, I get up, you are well aware, I don’t have to set my alarm, but I </p> <p>Michele Norris: Do you get up at the same time? </p> <p>Michelle Obama: Uh, roughly, around the same time. I make, but my sleep is off, extremely, and I’ve heard this from a lot of people, it’s, you are well aware, because we’re not moving around as much. So I’m not as tired, I’m not, I’m not knocked out tired, like I frequently am at nine o’clock, I’m going to bed a little bit later, so, and I’m waking up in the middle of the nighttime, motive I’m worrying about something, or there’s a heaviness. But, if I sort of set aside, an erratic nighttime, I do tend to wake up at the same time. Not the crack of dawn, but, pretty much like six, seven o’clock, then I “ve been trying to” make sure I get a workout in, although, “theres been” dates throughout this quarantine, where i just, have felt too low. You know, I’ve gone through those feeling high-pitcheds and lows that I think everyone feels, whatever it is you time don’t feel yourself, and sometimes I’ve, there’ve been, uh, a week or so where I had to surrender to that, and not be so hard on myself. And say, you know what, you’re just not is of the view that treadmill right now, um, but. </p> <p>Michele Norris: That’s unusual for you. </p> <p>Michelle Obama: It is unusual, and it is, you are well aware, it’s a direct consequence of simply being out of, out of body, out of mind. And spiritually, these are not, they are not fulfilling experiences, spiritually. You know, um, so I, I know that I am dealing with some sort of low-grade depression. Not only because of the quarantine, but because of the ethnic animosity, and just seeing this administration, watching the hypocrisy of it, day in and day out, is dispiriting. </p> <p>Michelle Obama: So I have had to kind of grant myself that, those dates, those instants, but for the most part, staying in a programme, get a exercising in, trying to get outside. Um, but planned has been key, and having a regular dinner age. And, I’m determine that in quarantine, we are pleased to that. Because we, in our residence, what the hell is all do is go off into our little workspaces, right. Barack’s in his office, doing bawls, “workin on” his record. I’m in my area, duh duh duh, the girls are on their computers, and sometimes we’re outside if the climate permits, but we’ve developed this routine, of you are well aware, we don’t really worry about seeing one another in the day. But right around five o’clock, everybody comes out of their crannies, and, we like do project activities, like, dilemmas have become large-scale, merely exactly sitting and doing these thousand portion questions. The daughters are just like into’ em, and we’re all sitting on the floor, around a counter where the puzzle is now permanently set up. And then we sitting there for dinner. And we are talking here some more. And then afterwards, the girls and Barack, and, another friend there, they’ve got a scoops tournament. So Barack has taught the girls spades, so now there’s this fiendish rival. They wouldn’t have sat down but for this quarantine, to learn how to play a poster came with their dad. </p> <p>On How the First Lady is Getting Through Quarantine</p> <p>Michelle Obama: Not to articulate anybody out of work, but this time has schooled me how to do my own waxing, do my hammers, </p> <p>Michele Norris: You’re waxing? You’re waxing! </p> <p>Michelle Obama: I did! </p> <p>Michele Norris: I am affected! </p> <p>Michelle Obama: I did, but it’s like, there’s a lot of trash, I’m figuring out, if I require it done, I gotta figure out how to make love, but that’s how we were raised, right. </p> <p>On Racial Injustice and Identity</p> <p>Michele Norris: In this moment of commotion and indecision, a lot of people are feeling the high-pitcheds and the lows.</p> <p>Michelle Obama: Mm hmm. They’ve been real for me, and, you know I don’t think I’m exceptional, in that, but, I’d be remiss to say that part of this dimple, is also a result of, what we’re examine in terms of, the rallies, the continued racial discontent, that has beset such countries, because it’ birth. I have to say, that waking up to the news, waking up to how this administration has or will not answered, waking up to, yet another, um, fib of a Black man or a Black person somehow being dehumanized, or hurt or killed, or, falsely accused of something, it is exhausting. And, and it contributing to a load that I haven’t felt in my life, in a while.</p> <p>Michele Norris: You know I spend a great deal of my time thinking about race and name and studying race and identity and that position of my job has been roiling. You know. And it started really with the pandemic and the racial discrepancies that were apparent almost immediately. In who was getting sick and who had access to testing, and then who was dying, but there is, there’s been this period, where it’s been a ratatatat of death that time doesn’t even make sense. The killing of Ahmaud Arbery, immediately followed by Breonna Taylor, and then, the killing of George Floyd in a manner that really didn’t, simply doesn’t … I make, I’m trying to find the freedom utterances to describe how much it hurt to watch that video, and I determined myself watch that video. You know literally pressuring the life out of someone. I feel like it’s almost, it creates a certain sense of vertigo, I envisage for us because we were told it was supposed to be better.</p> <p>On Managing Your Mental Health</p> <p>Michele Norris: When “youre feeling” the lows, how do you get through that? How do you moves forward? </p> <p>Michelle Obama: Well, this is, the part of, of knowing yourself, knowing how to replenish yourself with the things that do “ve brought you” rejoice. So for me, my spirit is lifted, when I am feeling healthy, when I am surrounded by good parties, you know, so I are to be achieved. I reach out to my family, and to your best friend, uh, even in this time, of, quarantine, you are well aware, I fought to continue to find a way to stay connected to the people in “peoples lives” who “ve brought” joy, and my lovers, my husband, my teenagers, it’s, it’s the small things. It’s small, the smaller rites. Right. For me, there’s no magic to it, but it is effort, right. Because you have to recognize that you’re in a place, a bad place, in order to get out of it. Um, so you kinda have to sit in it for a minute, to know, oh oh, I’m feeling off. So now I gotta, I gotta feed myself with something better. And sometimes for me that planneds turning it off. Right, it it intends turning off the telephone , not taking in the news, because it is negative energy, I given to understand that in the days of the White House, and, sometimes we feel like that’s irresponsible, to really cut off, and I think it is, if you do it over long term, but for me, for my mental health, there’s some times I cannot sound. I need to just take a moment, and to just not look. For a few seconds.[ mocks] </p> <p>Michele Norris: I try to be honest about it, with both my girls but specially my daughter, because the strong Black woman trope is a cement necklace. </p> <p>Michelle Obama: Oh god, yes. </p> <p>Michele Norris: You know, that’s supposed to feel like ivories. It’s supposed to be a praise, but what it is, is, it continues the notion that we can throw anything at you. We can simply lunge anything at you and you will catch it, and look stylish do it. And that’s just not true. And so, I try to be honest in my low-spirited instants, you know, this has been a tough era, this has been a tough daytime. </p> <p> \ </p> <p>Michelle Obama: We will get through this, uh, you know cause the thing we have to remember is like we’ve been through tough times, in this nation. Um, and we are in a peculiar time in record. We are living through something, that no one in our lifetimes has lived through it. Uh, </p> <p>Michele Norris: 2020 is, simply extra.[ giggles] In all kinds of ways.</p> <p>Michelle Obama: Who would’ve anticipated. It’s like phew! What more do you have for us, 2020! </p> <p> Have you had a chance to listen to Michelle’s podcast more? What do you like best about it still further? </p> <p> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/bossiprss?a=BJ23QKT4JXc:eLWLfeTPzxI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img
