☀️ Host Jason Connell returns for a "Midweek Reset episode of Good Thinking, centered on the week’s affirmation theme of starting and following through. He emphasizes that follow-through doesn’t need to involve big life changes and can be as simple as tackling small tasks like cleaning out the refrigerator, noting that lingering procrastination drains mental energy. He clarifies that not every idea requires action, but encourages addressing the tasks that persist and matter by making a plan and taking clear steps toward completion, even if it takes more than a day. Connell shares that he’s working on overdue tasks himself, invites listeners to reach out via the show notes or the website at hello@goodthinking.life, and frames midweek as a time to reset and prepare for the weekend. He asks for five-star ratings, reviews, and shares.

Just curious. Welcome to Just Curious Media. This is Good Thinking, and I'm Jason Connell. So I'm back for another midweek reset. And I'm super happy to be in the midst of this week in which the theme on the positive affirmation episodes is starting and following through. Such a big thing. And I know I didn't mention it on the weekly reflection, but it doesn't have to be something big in your life either. It could be cleaning out the refrigerator. It's just avoiding procrastination and letting that fester and build. And you might not even realize that you're spending mental energy or fatigue thinking about what you're not doing, and that's not good for you. It's not good for anybody. And we're all guilty of it. And not to say that every idea that pops in your head you have to act on. And if you don't, you're procrastinating. No, it's those things that linger and you really want to tackle, but you just don't get started. Or you do start and realize it's a huge undertaking and you just can't do it right now. And that happens to all of us as well. So it's just making a plan and finishing that plan. It doesn't have to be in five minutes, even in one afternoon, but taking obvious steps towards the goal. It will be a huge win for you, trust me. And so I am taking this week to tackle some things that I have not done. And it feels great. So I hope other listeners are doing the same. And if you are, hey, guess what? Reach out to me. You can go on the show notes and send a text message or a voice message, which is super cool, or send an email. But so many options. Go to the new website. You can email us at hello at goodthinking. Not to say the old email won't get to us, but we're steering people to the website, which is great. And I have some more updates coming soon. And I don't have much more to cover other than this is a chance to reset. This is the middle of the week. And we can gear up for the weekend ahead. It's kind of an exciting time. You've made it through the schlag of the beginning of the week, and now you're kind of ghosting, and then there's the home stretch. I think it's people we're wired that way, and we have routine and we find comfort in that routine. So find a routine and starting something and finishing, following through. So thank you all for listening. Please, please, please give us a five star rating. Super easy, super quick. And if you have enough time, give us a five star review. We only have a few, which is wonderful, but the more of those will help us, will help the show, and even share it with a friend who may enjoy this. So again, thank you, and we'll see you next time.
