Calling All Superheros! 4 Ways to De-Stress Dads

Salt Lake City — (KUTV) Calling All Superheros! Licensed Therapist Clair Mellenthin visited Fresh Living with 4 Tips To De-Stress Dads.

Today’s Dads often juggle several hats every day: working from home, career, childcare, meal planning and making, as well as partnering in a way that other generations have never seen.

Balancing all of the demands of fatherhood, especially for stay at home dads can be demanding and stressful.

Here are 4 ways to help Dads de-stress:

1. Exercise is crucial for self-care. Find a group to exercise with. It takes care of you from the inside out.
2. Make time for guy time. It is so important for dads to have male friends and get out and socialize with them.
3. Alone time. Even 15 minutes makes a huge difference in patience, tolerance, and clear thinking.
4. Nurture yourself. Everyone needs a self-care treat on a regular basis.
