This episode may be for me more than it may be for you. But if the shoe fits… know that you are not alone! God recently had to teach me what peace and rest look like. My mind has been so restless the past couple of weeks and to say the least it has been wreaking havoc on my mental health. So this is the episode for the restless to REST! Rest in the fact that your father is FAITHFUL and you can trust Him with you. And remember…. PEACE is a PRACTICE!Correction from the episode I meant to say Philippians not Ephesians.Verse mentioned Philippians 4:6-8“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-8‬ ‭NIV‬‬https://bible.com/bible/111/php.4.6-8.NIVCheck out the outlook podcast on instagram and Facebook https://m.facebook.com/theoutlookpodcast/https://www.instagram.com/the_outlookpodcastMy socialsFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/people/Naomi-Namakau-Besa/100006318619348/?fref=mentionsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/naomi_n_besaSometimes I write here too👇🏾https://naominamakaubesa.wordpress.com/

We have all heard it said,”comparison is a thief of Joy.” But it’s seems like it’s so easy to find ourselves trapped in the habit of comparison in a world that is so obsessed with competition.

Today’s episode is really interesting because you will hear different voices, stories and perspectives on the topic of comparison. I asked my friends David, Mapesho and Katayi to answer a few questions on comparison and I love how everyone’s perspective on the topic has brought to light so many things that will encourage us all to run our race.

Questions asked in the episode

  • Have you ever struggled with comparison
  • In what specific area have you struggled with comparing yourself to others
  • How did that affect how you saw yourself and others
  • What steps are you taking or did you take to avoid comparing yourself to others

Bible verse mentioned:

“Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10:12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Hey there welcome!🤗 Today’s topic is so close to my heart. I have struggled with anxiety for a couple of years now, but I only put a finger to everything that was going on with me 2 years ago. In 2021 I shared on my Facebook account about my struggle and the things I was doing to overcome it, a number of people inboxed me on how they too were struggling.

In this episode I’ll basically be sharing how to overcome anxiety through self awareness and how being self aware has helped me grow in all areas of my life.

I still have days when I am gripped with fearful thoughts and emotions but I have more control of my mind now and I am more self aware

The lessons I’ll share in this episode are things I practice myself so I hope as I share, you will be able to relate and you’ll be equipped to be all that God wants you to be.

Follow the outlook podcast on Facebook and instagram and let’s continue these conversations. I would love to hear from you!

Did you know that every year, more people die as a result of suicide than HIV, malaria or breast cancer  ̶  or war and homicide. In 2019 alone according to WHO, more than 700 000 people died by suicide.

Today’s topic is so relevant and right on time because we are currently in the world suicide prevention month. We recorded this episode on the 11th of September.

In this episode, we talk all things mental health and topics surrounding our mental health, to be specific clinical depression. We demystify some misconceptions the society has about depression, most of which are statements we may have used or heard people use... statements like, “one needs a reason to be depressed”

Emmanuel also shares some alarming statistics on suicide and depression, globally and locally.

We also get to have an opportunity to hear a mans perspective on the topic plus more questions answered. I promise there’s so much to learn in here.

I am so so thankful to Emmanuel for sharing all this relevant and insightful information with us! Greatful is an understatement!

Disclaimer: This episode does not replace professional help. But through these conversations we hope to raise awareness and encourage each other.
