Rediscovering Myself: The Journey of Setting Boundaries and Embracing Self-Care

Feeling drained from saying yes too often? Join me on "Have a Cup of Johanny" as I share my journey of setting boundaries, inspired by lessons from books. Discover the power of saying no and reclaim your peace of mind. Listen now!

Imagine realizing that constantly saying yes is draining your energy and stealing your peace of mind. That was my wake-up call in my 30s, a pivotal time when I began to understand the importance of setting boundaries. On this episode of “Have a Cup of Johanny,” I take you on a deeply personal journey through the hurdles and triumphs that come with prioritizing yourself, especially as a Latina…

Belonging

I think that we have all been confronted with the relentless desire of fitting in and belonging. Brené Brown's message reminds us that there is indeed a better path towards quenching and achieving those human needs. I'd go one step further and remind you that it must occur from deep within your person. Achieving such peace can only occur when we've learned to effectively and unconditionally love our inner person.

2023 - Getting back into reading

After a quiet few years due to the pandemic, 2023 was the year I got back into reading.

One of my habits that took a hit during the pandemic was reading. As I explained earlier this year, this was due to a few factors. In short, pre-pandemic most of my reading was done while commuting, and I've never returned to the office full time. I replaced commuting time with other activities that were now an option (exercise, sleep, family time, gaming) and didn't carve out any dedicated time for reading.

For 2023, I wanted to do better. But wanting something isn't enough. As I learned from 'Atomic Habits', you need to build new routines and behaviours. So I set myself goals to read at least three times a week, and made sure I always had easy access to books to read.

And the result...

Nineteen books (including audiobooks) 'read' in 2023. That's more than double the number of books I read in the prior three years, and on par with my best years prior to the pandemic. Even stripping out the audiobooks and graphics novels, I still beat my pre-COVID goal of reading the equivalent of one actual book per month.

So here's my reading for 2023.

Fiction & Novels

Aurora's End - Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

Dr Who: City of Death - Douglas Adams / James Goss

Equal Rites - Terry Pratchet

Neuromancer - William Gibson

Mortal Engines - Phillip Reeve

Mortal Engines: Predators Gold - Phillip Reeve

Graphic Novel & Comics

Seven Years of Highly Defective People - Scott Adams

The Umbrella Academy: Dallas - Gerard Wray & Gabriel Ba

How can mindfulness reduce our stress

Something I have been pondering lately, is the stress in my life and how can I reduce it. When I think about the things that cause me the most stress it is the things I cannot control. My older brother Patrick suffers from temporal lobe epilepsy, a horrific form of uncontrollable epilepsy to which we have come close to losing him on more occasions that I like to think about. The stress of his condition (obviously on him) but as a loved one watching from a distance and not being able to stop the seizures, stop the injuries, stop the sadness, frustration and anger is nothing short of maddening. When I read Brene Browns Atlas of the heart and got to the section on stress I resonated with it wholeheartedly, she describes stress as the feeling of unpredictability, uncontrollability and feeling overloaded (Brown, 2021) and this accurately describes dealing with a family members illness.

I know when I am feeling very stressed about Patrick, especially when he is in hospital from his injures. I feel anxiety and depression, my performance at work slips, I struggle to regulate my emotions, small things can get me very teary and I can break out in cold sores and hives, all things which we know can be caused from feelings of stress (Bond et al, 2015; Jang et al, 2021; Olson & Petterson, 2017; Golland et al, 2021; Birchinall et al, 2019).

Mindfulness can be a quick on the spot activity that you can do that doesn’t require too much time or resources and has a big impact on stress reduction and therefore wellbeing (Bond et al, 2015; Jang et al, 2021; Olson & Petterson, 2017; Golland et al, 2021; Birchinall et al, 2019). The work of Dr Katherine Neff has been helping people bring mindfulness into their lives in a simple achievable way, and her website has several different tools that you can use. She focuses on mindfulness self-compassion, which can be something valuable for those of us supporting a loved one through illness however it can be used for any stressful situation which has been seen in many studies, one specially with war veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan (Dahm, et al. 2015).

Soothing words of support is a simple tool that you can do in the moment, saying to yourself ‘I know this is hard and stressful, you are doing everything that you can, and I am here for you’. It may seem strange to say this to yourself, and awkward for those of us who has negative self-talk occurring. These simple words can allow you to nurture yourself, and care for yourself whilst you are caring for others. Its so hard for us to remember to support ourselves during times of stress.

Excerpt from #Firefly⁣. ⁣ “It’s so much easier to cause pain than feel pain. And people are taking their pain and they’re working it out on other people. And when you don’t acknowledge your vulnerability, you work your shit out on other people. Stop working your shit out on other people.” - @brenebrown
