In this week's episode of Lite It Up, Dr. Aginah Musherah gives an update on implementing the seven tips shared from last week's episode of managing stress. As a self-proclaimed workaholic, finding time to rest or prioritize self, is often a struggle. Last week, Dr. Aginah managed to incorporate two tips into her routine: #2 Regular exercise (three days during the week) and #3 Rest. After experiencing a week filled with pain due to a medical issue, Dr. Aginah had to finally sit down and rest. The light bulb finally went off that self-preservation is key. The goal for the upcoming week is to implement the other tips into the day-to-day routine. 

In addition to incorporating the tips for self-preservation, Dr. Aginah also faced another area of growth by learning how to parent from the sidelines. Parenting is the most important job you'll ever have. We have to teach our children everything we can. While we teach our children, we have to also learn how to let go and trust in the fact that we have prepared our children well. It's hard...but you can do it. Here are a few tips to focus on as you begin to parent from the sidelines while giving your children an opportunity to incorporate what you've taught them over the years:

1.  Encourage your child/teen.

2.  Stay positive.

3.  Maintain open communication.

4.  Let them do their thing.
