Reflection activity
🤔 CONSIDER:
Can you think of a historical example of a paradigm that has shifted? Of a deeply held, almost unquestionable belief that was challenged and then replaced?
How about a time in your own life when you’ve made this kind of shift?
What did it take to make this shift come about?

1. A time in my own life when I made this kind of paradigm shift is that I used to spend way too much time on YouTube to the point where I could probably be on It for five hours just watching videos so I limited myself to only watching around 1 hour of YouTube during this period and overtime I spent less time on YouTube and more on meaningful things I now limit myself to 2 hours and 30 minutes of YouTube just so that I can learn or watch whatever I want.
2. It took doing my homework and two weeks of limiting myself to 1 hour of YouTube for me to adapt to this change.(2 votes)
