Acceptance doesn't mean that you approve of what's going on or that you've given up on what's happening or that you're detaching from your child. It just means that you acknowledge that things are the way they are and acceptance is really an action.
Feeling like life is spiraling out of control is something many parents face, especially when their teen or young adult is struggling with substance misuse. In this episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane shares seven actionable tips to help parents regain a sense of stability amidst the chaos. Brenda, drawing from her own experience and expertise, breaks down practical steps that anyone can take to find solid ground again.
She starts by highlighting the importance of recognizing what you can and can't control, a crucial first step in reclaiming your peace of mind. Acceptance here doesn’t mean giving up but rather understanding the reality of your situation and focusing on actionable steps. Brenda also stresses the value of nurturing positive relationships and integrating self-care practices into your daily routine. Think mindfulness, meditation, and gratitude exercises – small but powerful habits that can make a big difference.
She also suggests limiting social media to avoid unnecessary stress and distractions, encouraging listeners to zero in on what truly matters. Whether it's through maintaining healthy habits or simply taking time to breathe, these tips are designed to help you find your footing even in the most turbulent times. Brenda's approach is both compassionate and practical, making this episode a must-listen for any parent feeling overwhelmed by their child's substance issues.
