Why fathers should put themselves first.
In this episode I explore why fathers should put themselves first, especially because I have not done a good job taking care of myself and as I start doing that I also want to encourage other fathers to do the same.
The idea of putting yourself first could include behaving the way flight attendants typically advise us that incase of an emergency during a flight and the need to use the oxygen masks arise, we should wear the mask first before wearing it for others including our children if we are traveling with them.
This means that you need to stop in the middle of anything that you are doing and check on yourself as a father. When you do this never feel bad about it. It’s okay to take good care of yourself.
