Episode 3: Discussion Prompts & Reframing Resolutions

Thanks for listening to this week’s episodes about Bad Habits and Abandoned Resolutions. You may have already noticed that today’s episode is going to be much shorter than the previous two, and that’s intentional. The Monday and Wednesday episodes are meant to be introspective, providing you with a few moments of focused self-reflection and an action item to apply what you’ve learned about yourself. The Friday episodes, on the other hand, are intended to spark conversations between you, your friends, and your peers. 

I’ll be leading these conversations in our Discord server -  the Thanks For Thinking Podcast Community. You can join us by following the link below:

Welcome to Episode 3 of THANKS FOR THINKING, the music business podcast focusing on self-reflection and proactivity for thoughtful music production professionals.  I’m your host, Carl Bahner.

Today’s topics: Friday Discussion Prompts & Reframing Resolutions 

Thanks for listening to this week’s episodes about Bad Habits and Abandoned Resolutions. You may have already noticed that today’s episode is going to be much shorter than the previous two, and that’s intentional. The Monday and Wednesday episodes are meant to be introspective, providing you with a few moments of focused self-reflection and an action item to apply what you’ve learned about yourself. The Friday episodes, on the other hand, are intended to spark conversations between you, your friends, and your peers. 

I’ll be leading these conversations in our Discord server -  the Thanks For Thinking Podcast Community. You can join us by following the link in the show notes.

Today’s discussion prompt is: Share a past outcome-focused New Year’s resolution that failed, and discuss ways you could reframe that goal to be an input-focused SMART goal. 

If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, be sure to go back and listen to episodes one and two from earlier this week.

If you’re listening to this after the original release date, that’s ok! We’ll be keeping the conversations active as long as possible, so feel free to chime in - even if it’s weeks or months after the original release. 

And if you’re ready to join our discussion about reframing resolutions, I’ll see you on Discord. 

Until next time - Thanks for thinking.
