I'M A MEAN MOTHERF#$%^&R
That voice inside your head, if it is like mine, is not always the nicest. In fact, sometimes it can be down right mean. One thing I know I struggle with is, how I treat myself.
CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN
During these times of uncertainty too often we worry about things that are outside of our control. Things we have no influence over, things we can't change. However, if we focus on the things we can control, our thoughts, our own safety, our nutrition, our fitness, it can put us in the correct mindset to help deal with some of the uncertainty.
Being A Dad
One of the hardest, confusing, and most satisfying things you will do is being a dad. There is no playbook, no guideline, and it is hard sometimes. This week we talk about being a dad and some of the things I have learned and screwed up as a parent.
FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT
We all struggle, we all have doubts, we all have fights going on inside of us. In this episode of Man Minutes we talk about Fighting the Good Fight. The fight to be the best version of yourself. The fight to keep going for your dreams. The fight to keep going.
