Lively Living With Lupus: Recent Episodes
Lydia Romero Johnson, RN, CHC
Hi!
Welcome to the Lively Living With Lupus podcast.
I’m Lydia Romero Johnson, RN & holistic health coach. I teach women with lupus how to regain their energy, thrive without pain, and create the life of their dreams.
My intention here is to help you realize that while you have lupus, you also have many tools, strategies, and resources available to live YOUR happiest and healthiest life.
I’ve struggled with lupus, and now I thrive.
I want to create a ripple effect of women using natural solutions to thrive with their diagnosis.
Join the conversation! Love always, Lydia

Stress Awareness Check-in How much awareness do you have to the amount of stress you are carrying around? We sometimes tend to minimize our stress levels, deny that we are in a stressful situation, we sometimes go to numb ourselves so we can't really notice it.We might be carrying around new health and life stressors, and we might be carrying old ones. There are so many potential stressors around us. If we want to life our happiest and healthiest lives, if we want to live our best lives, we have to grow a stronger awareness to where we are with our stress levels, and where we truly want to be. ✨I've created a little stress awareness exercise below. Complete if you so desire. You can copy and past it and answer in a new document, or write your answers on a piece of paper. If you are taking a moment to answer, I want to encourage you to get it down on paper, or a document. It will hold a bit more value than just answering in your head. ✨Awareness Exercise on stress: Note: Add as much or as little to this as you'd like. 1. When I am stressed out, my body and mind respond by _____,_____,____, and _______. 2. This impacts my ______, ______, _____, and ______. 3. The way I try to feel better is by _________, _______, _______, and __________. 4. What I do to reduce my stress is ________, _______, _______, and _________. 5. I notice my stress level is normally at around a level of #________. I would like it to be at #___________. ( 0=none, or 10=the most) 6. What I think will help me most with stress management is? (Complete as many of those as you can. If you can come up with more, great. If you have a hard time coming up with just a few, take a little more time to think about it.)1._______________2._______________3._______________4._______________5._______________6._______________7._______________8._______________9._______________10.______________7. Today I will _______________ to better help manage my stress levels. No need to answer any of these below, I know this is private stuff. This is just for you and your awareness. ✨ If you happen to answer any of these, please let me know. I would love to hear what comes up. Remember, be patient and kind with yourself. With love, 💜Lydia NOTE: This is not to be used as medical advise, treatment, prescription, therapy, etc. Also wanted to share this as a FYI of a great free and confidential resource: 988 Lifeline "We can all help prevent suicide.
