Episode 018: Rest Over Rush: A Faith-Filled Reset for Black Friday Temptations


Listen Later

Black Friday is loud - the sales, the countdown timers, the inbox explosions, the “limited time only” adrenaline.
 But before you rush into the deals, Coach Janet J invites you to pause, breathe, and ask a deeper question:

Is this a genuine need… or a scarcity-triggered impulse?

In this episode, Janet breaks down:

  • The psychology behind Black Friday pressure
  • How urgency activates your stress response
  • Why most purchases are regretted within 30 days
  • Simple, soul-calming practices to shift from scarcity to sufficiency
  • How to reclaim peace, clarity, and your future self in just minutes

She also offers practical tools you can use today:
 - The 10-minute pause rule
 - A mindful “cart audit”
 - Urge-surfing to calm emotional buying
 - A new way to reimagine this day: Gratitude Friday, Rest Friday, Connection Friday, Creation Friday, and Generosity Friday

Sales return… but your peace, presence, and purpose matter today.
 One small boundary can protect a whole day of calm.
