The guys that I've always seen that did really really well, had a general idea of the direction they wanted to go in and could conceptualize that it was going to take time to get there.
Ever wondered what separates those who thrive in recovery from those who struggle? Marcus Shumate has some compelling thoughts on the matter. In this episode of 'The Unbreakable Boundaries Podcast', Marcus sits down with host Jennifer Maneely to share his unique perspective. With a background in Philosophy, Psychology, and Mental Health Counseling, Marcus has seen countless recovery journeys up close. His insights might just be the key you need to unlock your own path to success. One major takeaway?
The importance of having a clear direction. Marcus believes that knowing where you want to go, even if it's just a general idea, can make all the difference. He stresses that recovery is a marathon, not a sprint, and having patience is crucial. Boundaries also play a pivotal role. Setting and defending them isn't just about keeping negative influences at bay; it's about creating a life that's truly yours.
This episode serves as a great check-in for anyone looking to strengthen their own boundaries. Family support is another crucial element Marcus touches on. He advises families to give their loved ones the space to grow and make mistakes, while still being there for support. The first three months of recovery are particularly critical, and having a supportive network can set the stage for long-term success. The episode also dives into professional development as a component of recovery.
Marcus talks about his work with Green Hill Recovery, a program that helps young men not only achieve sobriety but also build meaningful careers. Personal investment from mentors and leaders at Green Hill makes a significant impact on their clients' lives. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives that can help you navigate the path ahead.
Tune in to hear Marcus Shumate's invaluable insights and take the first step towards a healthier, happier life.
