Podcasts about self indulgence

In this episode, Deborah Adele describes the razor's edge between Self-Expression and Self-Indulgence, using the yoga principle of Satya (Truthfulness). She makes the distinctions for us. Then using modern science, drawing from Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and behavioral techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I show how to use many of the interventions and ideas to actually put self-expression into practice. Additionally, discover why "dumping" your emotions is not the same as telling the truth, and learn practical skills like the DBT's DEAR MAN framework and the Gottmans' Soft Start-Up formula to communicate effectively without causing harm. Learn how to pause, regulate your nervous system, and speak from your core "Self" energy rather than a reactive "Part."If this episode resonates with your journey toward authentic, kind communication, please like and share to help others find what might also benefit them.

God wants to empower us. Specifically, He wants us to be able to break free from addictions, cravings, and lasciviousness. Submitting to a change in identity—from who the world tells us we are to who Christ says we are—delivers us from addictive behavior. Seeing ourselves the way God sees us through Jesus changes our thinking, which subsequently changes what we do. Looking to Christ is the only way to find freedom from our sins.   To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org

September invites fresh structure and, if we're not careful, fresh burnout. In this conversation, licensed professional counselor and Enneagram coach Becky Lauridsen reframes self-care as protection (not pampering) and opens the door to brain health with neurofeedback. From postpartum anxiety and over-functioning to rodeo performance and concussion recovery, we explore how to build capacity on purpose, before the crash out.Becky shares the origin story of IOWEME (“I owe me”), a preventative, accessible, guilt-free self-care model born from her own burnout and postpartum anxiety. We unpack the crucial difference between self-indulgence (instant relief, little ROI) and true self-care (sometimes uncomfortable, always compounding). We also trade the myth of work–life balance for work–life harmony: a “pleasing arrangement of parts” calibrated to your actual rhythms (hello, 5:30am clarity!).Then Becky takes us into ROAM (Rodeo Optimization and Mindset) and explains low-energy neurofeedback as a practical path to brain health. Think “parking brake off” for your frontal lobe: better regulation, focus, and recovery after high-intensity performance (for athletes and their horses). If you're craving capacity that's truly sustainable, this one's for you.Listen in for …The self-care vs. self-indulgence distinction, and why protection beats pampering.The IOWEME model: preventative, accessible, and simple mental-health support.Work/life harmony (not balance): designing a “pleasing arrangement of parts.”The “check-engine light” for burnout (irritability over the stray socks = signal).Neurofeedback 101: electrical vs. chemical brain systems, suppression, and flexibility.The “parking brake” metaphor: why so many high-capacity women feel stuck in Delta.Performance & recovery for rodeo athletes, and why brain care must match body care.The pony case study (!) and what equine sessions revealed about regulation.TL;DR (Minute by Minute)00:00 “Conversations” > “episodes” + why listener feedback matters.01:11 Meet Becky: LPC, EMDR, Enneagram coach, LENS neurofeedback provider.06:17 Postpartum anxiety, burnout, and the wake-up call: it starts with me.10:01 IOWEME origin: from reactive therapy culture to preventative care.12:32 Responsibility & boundaries: self-care as non-negotiable, not “extra.”16:00 Self-indulgence vs self-care (instant relief vs lasting effect).18:54 “Outweigh the indulgence”: a practical rule that still leaves room for fun.23:44 Non-negotiable habits: why early-morning quiet time compounds.27:34 Work/life harmony > balance; design for your real energy ebb and flow.31:47 ROAM begins: from rodeo roots to neurofeedback certification.35:49 Neurofeedback explained: amplitude, frequency, suppression.38:59 The parking brake brain: lifting Delta lock for flexible regulation.41:01 Equine neurofeedback: the pony case and practical behavior change.43:35 Head trauma, concussions, CTE risk, and recovery as standard practice.47:26 Where to find Becky + what's next.Where to Go From HereQuestion for you: When the day feels heavy, which shows up first: self-indulgence or true self-care?

Amos shows us that a false spirituality is one that puts self at the center over God and others and calls us to the true spirituality of self-denial.

It’s the episode we’ve all been waiting for – a peek inside Hugh’s brain. After our episode with psychologist and ADHD expert Janelle Booker - and a reboot of his algorithm that Hugh related to on a spiritual level - Hugh began to wonder whether his time-blindness, reject sensitivity and inability to focus on things he wasn’t interested in, could be explained by ADHD. Turns out, yeah. Hugh pretty much definitely has ADHD. Exploring Hugh’s lived experience, Ryan and Josh chat through how Hugh has reconciled his incredible frustrations into acknowledgment and celebration for his strengths.

James begins this portion of his letter by addressing the rich who are so self-indulgent that they are taking advantage of those who are of lesser means. Their evil ways are preparing them for their own slaughter. The Bible is very clear about the dangers of being rich. As believers, we should recognize that our needs are not met by earthly riches. It is God who meets our needs according to HIS riches!

This episode delves into the concept of paradox and its implications for navigating a binary world. We explore the limitations of either/or thinking and the importance of embracing duality, where seemingly opposing forces coexist and even necessitate each other. We discuss a range of paradoxes, including simplicity and complexity, certainty and doubt, ambition and contentedness, and how these concepts can be better understood as interconnected and complementary rather than mutually exclusive.Drawing on personal experiences and artistic examples, we examine how embracing paradox can lead to greater understanding and creativity. We discuss the importance of maintaining a beginner's mind, the dangers of ego-driven art, and the delicate balance between self-indulgence and audience engagement. The conversation also touches on the role of technology, language, and the mystical in shaping our perception of reality. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Tyler continued in our Finding Peace in an Anxious World series focusing on Self-Denial over Self-Indulgence. He emphasized the dangers of materialism, and the transformative power of generosity and contentment rooted in faith. It begins with a reminder that worldly possessions are temporary and encourages gratitude for basic needs, warning against the destructive allure of wealth and comparison. Instead, true wealth is found in contentment, generosity, and faith. Jesus gave up the treasures of heaven to make you His treasure. What you need is not simply to resist money, what you need is to replace it entirely as the source of your deepest desires. When you see God dying to make you His treasure, money will cease to be the currency of your significance, or your security, or your comfort. When you grasp the gospel, money loses its grasp over you. So, think on His costly grace, and it'll change you into a giver. "You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich." - 2 Corinthians 8:9

Judges 3: 12 - 30

In this concluding episode of the 'This Thing Called Character' series, the focus is on mastering self-control as a fruit of the Spirit.  The episode explores how self-control impacts various aspects of life, emphasising the necessity of recognising the difference between beneficial desires and harmful indulgence. Using practical analogies and biblical examples, we discuss the consequences of unchecked impulses, as well as the importance of spiritual disciplines, including prayer, fasting, giving, and forgiveness, as essential tools for regulating emotions, thoughts, and behaviours.  01:08 The Importance of Self-Control 01:50 Understanding Self-Control in the Bible 02:43 Practical Examples of Self-Control 04:52 Defining Self-Control and Self-Indulgence 10:58 The Consequences of Self-Indulgence 12:30 Scriptural Examples of Self-Control and Indulgence 25:24 Boundaries and Impulses 26:31 The Power of Money 27:41 The Grip of Fear 31:06 Emotions and Their Impact 32:56 Spiritual Disciplines for Self-Control 33:25 The Power of Prayer 35:55 Fasting and Its Benefits 37:49 Generosity as an Antidote to Greed 39:53 Trusting in God's Love 42:40 The Practice of Forgiveness Olawunmi Brigue, host of the SuperAbundant Life podcast, is a certified executive and transformational life coach, and the founder of Luminous membership, a Personal & Spiritual Growth Hub for women who desire to build BOTH a highflying career and a wholesome family without sacrificing their wellbeing or personal fulfilment.

Sermon given by Pastor Mark Donaldson on September 29, 2024 at ElmCreek Community Church in Maple Grove, MN. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

David Forsyth delves into the sins of wealth as outlined in James 5:1-6. He examines four temptations common to the prosperous: hoarding, fraud, self-indulgence, and oppression. Forsyth warns that these sins of wealth are baked into our culture, potentially robbing believers of joy and blunting their testimony for Christ. He emphasizes the importance of seeking satisfaction in Christ rather than worldly possessions to avoid the corrosive effects of prosperity. ★ Support this podcast ★

In Paul's day, and down to our own, so-called Christian teachers have effectively duped people into thinking that a life of self-indulgence is compatible with the Christian gospel. But in this passage Paul sets the record straight. Because Christians are God's children, we must walk in love, not in self-indulgence. Sermon Outline:I. Love is Consistent with Your New Identity.II. Self-Indulgence is Inconsistent with Your New Identity.III. Christ Came to Deliver Us from the Wrath Coming on Self-Indulgence.Sermon Discussion Questions:1. How does being “beloved children” of God influence the way we should live, according to Ephesians 5:1-2? In what specific ways can we imitate God's kindness, tenderness, and forgiveness in our daily interactions?2. Paul instructs us to “walk in love, as Christ loved us” (Eph. 5:2). What are some practical examples of self-sacrificial love that align with how Christ demonstrated His love for us? 3. Paul contrasts self-indulgence with a life of holiness. How does the message of Ephesians 5:3-4 challenge contemporary views on sexuality and materialism? How does it challenge your own views?4. Ephesians 5:6 warns against being deceived by “empty words.” How can we discern whether teachings or beliefs we encounter align with biblical truth, especially in areas like sexuality, greed, and personal behavior?5. Despite our failings, Christ offers forgiveness and grace. How does understanding this grace influence our approach to repentance and forgiveness, both for ourselves and when we extend it to others?

The world talks a lot about self-care, but many people in this community feel selfish taking care of themselves. It can be seen as indulgent to take the time to tend to our own needs, especially as mothers -- check out the second half of the podcast where Stef addresses this from her perspective as a parent (her take might surprise you). So what's the difference between self care and self indulgence? Speaking of indulgence, we also look at the way we talk about food under this lens. Are the connotations of this word inherently problematic? Are we just gluttons or is there a case for the healthy pursuit of food as pleasure, or even as self-care? Tune in...

Hello Family,Welcome to Life Points with Ronda. I've been under the weather for the past few days, with the Flu. So my alter ego, Lina, will be my voice for the next few episodes, until I regain my voice. As you well know, it's the podcast that helps you navigate life's challenges with practical wisdom and actionable advice. where we discuss important topics that affect our everyday lives. Today, I'm speaking to the Ladies and Ladies our topic for today is: The Perils of Excessive Self-Indulgence: A Closer Look at Toxic RelationshipsToday, we're gonna dive right into a topic of significant importance, especially for the ladies: the dangers of unmoderated self-indulgence, particularly within the context of toxic relationships.Undeniably, self-indulgence has its allure. It's a way to pamper ourselves, to take a break from the constant pressures of life, and to experience a taste of luxury. However, like most things in life, indulging without moderation can be perilous, casting a shadow over our sense of self, our relationships, and our overall well-being.In the realm of relationships, self-indulgence can manifest in various ways - from allowing oneself to stay in a toxic relationship due to the intermittent rewards it offers, to pursuing self-interests at the expense of the relationship. While it's crucial to prioritize self-care and personal happiness, it's equally important to ensure that these pursuits don't evolve into excessive self-indulgence, which can distort our perceptions, numb our feelings, and hinder our ability to form healthy connections.Firstly, let's clarify what constitutes a 'toxic relationship.' It's a relationship characterized by behaviors that are damaging to one or both partners. This could involve emotional, physical, or verbal abuse, manipulation, constant criticism, or control. Being in such a relationship can be an intensely challenging experience, often leading to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and depression.Now, you might wonder, how does self-indulgence come into play in such a setting? When we are in toxic relationships, we might indulge in behaviors that temporarily relieve the pain or make us feel better about the situation. These could include excessive shopping, binge-eating, excessive use of alcohol or drugs, or even engaging in risky behaviors. While these activities might provide momentary relief, they do nothing to resolve the underlying issues and, in fact, often exacerbate them.Moreover, self-indulgence can create a vicious cycle. The temporary relief it offers can make it seem like an effective coping mechanism, causing us to revert to it more frequently. Over time, this can lead to dependency - whether on the indulgent behavior itself or the toxic relationship that incites it. This dependency can blind us to the reality of our situation, making it harder to recognize the toxicity of the relationship and seek help.Consider the case of emotional eating, a common form of self-indulgence. A person trapped in a toxic relationship might turn to food for comfort. While this might offer temporary solace, it's an unhealthy coping mechanism that can lead to weight gain and associated health problems. More importantly, it does nothing to address the root cause of the discomfort - the toxic relationship.Therefore, it's crucial to maintain a sense of self-awareness and moderation in all aspects of life, inSupport the showhttps://chat.openai.com/g/g-8E47AuJfB-life-points-assistanthttps://FaceBook.com/Lifepointswithronda1https://youtube.com/@lifepointswithronda2968https://TikTok.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Instagram.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Patreon.com/@lifepointswithrondahttps://Lifepointswithronda.com
