My self-care begins with being completely honest with myself about the who, what, when, where, whys, and how I want to be as a man, father, and influencer. This involves tending to my body, intellect, mind, practical needs, social needs, and spirit.
Next would be my interactions with others. I think it's important to have face-to-face time with friends. Phone conversations are great. Zoom meetings can work, however, there's nothing like seeing a smile up close or a hug to make things better.
Pay it forward. I tend to focus on our youth, in particular our young men who have no father or father figure for whatever reason. Teaching a young man how to tie a tie, change a tire, oil, eat healthily and be chivalrous is very important to my mental and physical health. Sign up to volunteer with an organization that has a mission that inspires you. The possibilities are endless, and you will feel good taking time out of your day to help others.
