We can't control the chaos, but we can control the rituals we use to anchor ourselves and create structure in our lives.
Ever feel like the chaos of your child's addiction is swallowing you whole? Brenda Zane, host of 'Hopestream', gets it. In this episode, she shares how parents can use simple rituals to bring a sense of calm and resilience into their lives. Drawing inspiration from a Peloton instructor, Brenda dives into the power of rituals—those small, intentional acts that can make a world of difference when you're dealing with constant distress and unpredictability.
She breaks down the difference between rituals and habits, highlighting why rituals are so effective in calming the nervous system. From lighting candles to taking mindful walks in nature, Brenda offers a variety of practical ideas that you can tailor to fit your life. She also touches on the importance of adding physical elements to these rituals, creating a sensory experience that helps ground you in moments of chaos.
By reframing discomfort and triggers as opportunities for growth, Brenda encourages parents to regain a sense of control and confidence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their child's substance misuse, offering tangible steps to create structure and find peace amidst the storm.
