Box Breathing, Self-auditing, and Small Steps to Being a Better Dad!
Today we speak with Scott Rammage, host of the popular podcast the Brotherhood of Fatherhood. Scott has strong opinions on how to be the best man and dad you can be. Highlights include:
How to take small steps to be your best:
"be relentless in your self-auditing. Audit your day. What conversations did you have? Who did you spend your time with? Did you leave work at work?"
Getting your head into "Family mode:"
"For me, it's box breathing, do one round of box breathing, the four in, four hold, four out, four hold. I do a couple of rounds of that... I make an out-loud statement, I'll say, "What can I do to best serve my family now?" That is my cue to leave everything else behind. I say it out loud, and then I touch the door on the way out. For men, if they're getting out of their car, touch a tree, touch a pillar on the house, do something, I'm leaving it behind. Those physical actions make a difference in your brain."
Enjoy this wide-ranging conversation on fatherhood!
