Woodworking. Golf. Tinkering around under the hood of your old pickup truck. Whatever it is, dads enjoy “me time” just as much as moms. But, have you ever felt guilty about taking a few minutes to just get away by yourself? Ted Lowe, Bobby Lewis, Reggie Lewis, and Buck Buchanan talk about how they recharge their dad batteries in today’s episode.
Speaker and author Jon Acuff says he has the goal of being an active, fun grandfather. We can’t be active granddads and dads in the future if we don’t take care of ourselves now. What do you do for yourself physically, mentally, and socially that makes you healthier and happier? Consistent “me time” leaves us feeling less grouchy, stressed, or worried and more refreshed, rested, and energetic.
Today’s Pro Move: What’s one step you can take either physically, mentally, or socially to take better care of yourself?
