Being a dad can feel like living inside a storm.
Noise, demands, decisions — and no real off switch.
Most people say “self-care,” but that word never fit.
For us, sanity isn’t spa days. It’s structure.
- A quiet morning walk.
- The short stretch in the morning.
- Five minutes of breathing before bed.
- A notebook where thoughts stop chasing you.
Sanity lives in the small, repeatable things — the ones that reset your system before you burn out.
So I’m curious:
What’s your #1 thing that keeps you sane when life gets loud?
