About Lesson

Key Message: Self-care isn’t about luxury—it’s maintenance. Just like you wouldn’t ignore a truck’s oil change, you can’t ignore your own mental and physical upkeep.

Video Prompt:

  • Title: “Why Dads Need Self-Care”
  • Length: ~5 minutes
  • Content: A relatable video using truck maintenance or tool upkeep as a metaphor for personal well-being. Include humor and straight talk: “If you wouldn’t let your truck run on empty, why let yourself?”

Action Steps:

  1. Reflection Exercise:
    • “Think about the last time you felt completely drained. What signs did you notice? Did you take steps to recharge, or did you push through?”
  1. Checklist:
    • Identify three signs that you’re running on empty (e.g., irritability, exhaustion, lack of focus).
    • Write down one small thing you can do to recharge (e.g., take a 15-minute walk, call a friend, go to bed earlier).
