June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. For some of us, the phrase "mental health" is ugly because we weren't taught to appreciate it. We were taught to handle our situations. Push through. Stay strong. Figure it or them out alone. But here's the truth: you cannot pour from an empty cup. A truth is that many of us are running on fumes, leading families, showing up for everybody else and checking in with nobody about how we actually are.So here's the challenge. It's called The 30-Day Check-In. Every day this month, ask yourself one honest question: "How am I, really?" Then write the answer down. One sentence. That's it. No one has to see it. No one has to grade it. Just you, telling yourself the truth. That's the SMART goal: one sentence, once a day, for 30 days. Specific. Measurable. Achievable. Relevant. Time-bound. By the end of the month, you'll have thirty days of data on your own soul. From this you can see patterns that will show up that you didn't know were there.No off season means no off season, especially on the inside. Take the challenge. Share it with another dad. And let's grow together.By L. Dijon Anderson | nooffseason4dads.com
