I wrote about my new year’s resolutions for the country as a whole in my blog post: https://chef-pocket.com/2022/12/31/new-years-resolutions/

Today I feel called to share one of my own that I believe I am succeeding at: Understanding my window of tolerance as it relates to self-care and drawing a line when circumstances are outside my window of tolerance.

The window of tolerance is a concept in psychology that refers to the range of emotions and physiological states a person can tolerate without becoming overwhelmed. When a person is within the window of tolerance, they can regulate their emotions, think clearly, and respond appropriately to their environment. The window of tolerance can be influenced by factors such as past experiences, current stressors, and the individual’s coping skills. If a person’s arousal level exceeds their window of tolerance, they may experience emotional dysregulation, such as anxiety, panic, or trauma response. In contrast, if a person’s arousal level falls below their window of tolerance, they may experience emotional numbing, disengagement, or feelings of depression.

I’ll share more of my goals for 2023 as I’m called to do so, but in the interim, I wish you success with your goals.

P.P.S There isn’t very much satisfaction in getting the world to accept your viewpoint and praise you. If you only want to hear your opinion, talk to the mirror.
