00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:02.640
Just curious.
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:06.879
Welcome to Just Curious Media.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:09.839
This is Good Thinking, and I'm Jason Connell.
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.679
So I'm back with another weekly reflection.
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.279
Super exciting.
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.559
I get to share the new theme for the next seven positive affirmation episodes.
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.480
And that theme is embracing change.
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:30.000
Something I know a lot about now on my travels, my journeys.
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:38.880
And every single day I'm embracing change as I assimilate into a new country and culture, which is exhilarating and it's a lot.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.399
Your eyes are wide open.
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:50.240
Speaking of which, when I first showed up, I quickly realized that this is a culture of scooters slash motorcycles.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.719
It is just jaw-dropping when you first see it.
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.200
And then you think, can I even cross the street safely?
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.240
I wasn't even about to try the first few days.
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.680
And now I can say I've really gotten with the Hanoi flow of things.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:13.680
Because it is incredible to watch all of these scooters just kind of work together.
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:18.719
They're not going that fast, but there's just an abundance of them.
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.959
And your eyes have to be open.
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.079
You know, from playing sports, I'm always using my peripheral.
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:25.280
And you have to.
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:26.879
And they must as well.
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.000
Their eyes are open.
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.000
I've never seen an accident.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.239
I've never even seen road rage.
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.879
They just kind of let people in.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:35.599
They honk a lot.
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:36.319
They look pamp.
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.159
Letting people know that they're there, that's a smart move.
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.920
But I mean, even at rush hour, they take over the sidewalks.
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:49.200
And in my particular area, it's a big wide sidewalk, thank goodness.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:02:01.200
But if you walk outside at five, six, seven at night, you better scoot over on the side because they're also going to come that way to cut down on some of the congestion.
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.040
But I hold my ground.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.560
It's all about flow.
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.680
We're all kind of getting to where we need to get.
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:09.199
And I'm used to it.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.000
And I can be working, you know, and then I walk outside and I'm clicking reminded where I am.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.680
I have to embrace change.
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.599
So that's a little tidbit.
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.080
And also, shout out to social media.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:31.840
And I am now beginning to share some of the things that I'm facing, some of the things I'm experiencing, because I wanted to bring that element to the social media, and it's a good place to do that.
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:33.680
So check that out.
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.680
And if you want to get to any of them, go to goodthinking.life.
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.280
Links are on there.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.719
Or you can just go to goodthinking.life on the particular handle, whether it be YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc.
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:55.360
So now let's tackle the theme and the five takeaways about the positivity of embracing change.
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.319
Number one, embracing change encourages personal growth.
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:09.680
Welcoming new experiences and stepping beyond your comfort zone creates opportunities to learn, evolve, and discover new strengths.
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.360
I couldn't agree more.
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.599
It is about getting out of your comfort zone.
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.000
Embracing change is exactly that.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.960
Like you cannot embrace change and never evolve and just do the same old, same old.
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.159
Many of us do.
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.599
I am a creature of habit.
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.319
I can easily just do the same routine.
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:34.400
But the minute you step outside that comfort zone, you do learn, you do evolve, and you do discover new strengths you didn't even know you had.
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.439
Number two, embracing change builds resilience.
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:48.960
Learning to navigate unfamiliar situations strengthens your ability to overcome challenges and to move forward with confidence.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:50.479
That's amazing.
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:51.439
I love that.
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.960
Strengthens your ability to overcome challenges.
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.840
I love building resilience, right?
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:04.719
It does help you move towards confidence, which a lot of us lack in certain things in certain ways.
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:06.719
So lean into that.
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.240
Embracing that change will build that inner strength.
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.759
Number three, embracing change opens new possibilities.
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:25.600
Being willing to let go of familiar routines and expectations can reveal opportunities and experiences you may never have considered.
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:27.199
I just talked about this.
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.079
We fall into those routines, those familiar routines and expectations.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:39.199
And embracing change opens you up to new possibilities, sometimes better possibilities.
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.240
Number four, embracing change encourages a positive mindset.
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:57.120
Viewing change as an opportunity rather than an obstacle can help reduce fear, build optimism, and create a greater sense of possibility.
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.759
I love a positive mindset.
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:02.639
This whole show is based on positive mindsets.
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.720
So yeah, this speaks to that.
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.839
Reducing fear, building optimism, greater sense of possibility.
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:10.879
It's amazing.
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.920
So without further ado, embrace change.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.160
And number five, embracing change leads to a more fulfilling life.
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:30.480
Allowing yourself to grow and explore new directions can bring greater purpose, excitement, and satisfaction to everyday life.
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:31.920
Amazing.
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.000
I couldn't have said it better myself.
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.680
It does lead to a more fulfilling life.
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:42.160
Who doesn't want a greater sense of purpose in life and excitement?
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.959
And to change your normal routine into something that's much more fulfilling.
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.720
So embracing change is just that powerful.
00:05:50.879 --> 00:06:05.040
And to recap, it encourages personal growth, it builds resilience, it opens new possibilities, it encourages a positive mindset, and yes, it leads to a more fulfilling life.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.279
So there you have it.
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:12.480
I hope you all enjoy the next seven positive affirmation episodes.
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:18.560

00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:02.640
Just curious.
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:06.879
Welcome to Just Curious Media.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:09.839
This is Good Thinking, and I'm Jason Connell.
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.679
So I'm back with another weekly reflection.
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.279
Super exciting.
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.559
I get to share the new theme for the next seven positive affirmation episodes.
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.480
And that theme is embracing change.
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:30.000
Something I know a lot about now on my travels, my journeys.
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:38.880
And every single day I'm embracing change as I assimilate into a new country and culture, which is exhilarating and it's a lot.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:40.399
Your eyes are wide open.
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:50.240
Speaking of which, when I first showed up, I quickly realized that this is a culture of scooters slash motorcycles.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:54.719
It is just jaw-dropping when you first see it.
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.200
And then you think, can I even cross the street safely?
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.240
I wasn't even about to try the first few days.
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.680
And now I can say I've really gotten with the Hanoi flow of things.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:13.680
Because it is incredible to watch all of these scooters just kind of work together.
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:18.719
They're not going that fast, but there's just an abundance of them.
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.959
And your eyes have to be open.
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.079
You know, from playing sports, I'm always using my peripheral.
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:25.280
And you have to.
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:26.879
And they must as well.
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.000
Their eyes are open.
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.000
I've never seen an accident.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.239
I've never even seen road rage.
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.879
They just kind of let people in.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:35.599
They honk a lot.
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:36.319
They look pamp.
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.159
Letting people know that they're there, that's a smart move.
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.920
But I mean, even at rush hour, they take over the sidewalks.
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:49.200
And in my particular area, it's a big wide sidewalk, thank goodness.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:02:01.200
But if you walk outside at five, six, seven at night, you better scoot over on the side because they're also going to come that way to cut down on some of the congestion.
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.040
But I hold my ground.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.560
It's all about flow.
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.680
We're all kind of getting to where we need to get.
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:09.199
And I'm used to it.
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.000
And I can be working, you know, and then I walk outside and I'm clicking reminded where I am.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:15.680
I have to embrace change.
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.599
So that's a little tidbit.
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.080
And also, shout out to social media.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:31.840
And I am now beginning to share some of the things that I'm facing, some of the things I'm experiencing, because I wanted to bring that element to the social media, and it's a good place to do that.

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.599
I am a creature of habit.
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.319
I can easily just do the same routine.
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:34.400
But the minute you step outside that comfort zone, you do learn, you do evolve, and you do discover new strengths you didn't even know you had.

Strengthens your ability to overcome challenges.
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.840
