The Trailblazer Talks - Christian Leadership and Personal Development Podcast Courtney Hope Wilson

In the last episode of our series on Overconsumption, today I talk about how overstimulation may be ruining our lives. Studies have shown that when we are overstimulated it affects our mental health and our physical health. We spend so much time in front of screens and constantly "entertaining" ourselves that we sometimes don't realize the effect on our health. Today's episode walks through what overstimulation is, how we might be unknowingly overstimulating ourselves, and some tips to help us find more balance with this in our lives.

Deinfluencing is on the rise currently as people are beginning to see the fallout from influencers constantly pushing products at them. In our series about overconsumption, in today's episode, I'm talking about how we can avoid falling trap to trends. I talk about avoiding the pressure to take part in every health trend or fashion trend. I tell stories of my own experiences and give us some practical tips to help us be intentional with our spending and habits.

Culture constantly influences us to overspend. So often we buy things we don't need because we are filling emotional needs or coping by shopping. In today's episode I talk through why it's important to be intentional with our spending habits and how we can overcome our overspending. I talk through different triggers and how we can be mindful of the overconsumption happening in our own lives.

Overconsumption is plaguing our lives. We are constantly inundated with information. We are overwhelmed, overstimulated, and worn out. We suffer from information addiction and information overload. How can we get control of this and stop the pressure to overconsume? What types of boundaries and balance can benefit us? In today's episode I talk about this and provide tips to help move us in a healthier direction. 

So many of us are running on empty. We are overstimulated, overrun, and burnt out. We have trouble concentrating because we have so much on our plates. It can feel a bit much at times and if we aren't properly refilling our cup, it can wear us down. Today's episode talks through my own struggles with this and how we can refill our cups to find more rest. 

Do you know what God says about you? What does the Bible say about identity? How can I find my identity in Christ and be more strongly rooted in that? This final part of our Rooted series covers just that. I talk all about how we can know who God says we are and have our identities rooted in Christ. I talk about the importance of being rooted and my own story. I also talk about overcoming lies and replacing them with God's truth about ourselves.
