By taking time to focus on themselves and their well-being, fathers can learn to better manage stress, improve their mood, and boost their overall health.

By engaging in activities that bring them joy, whether that's taking a relaxing bath or practicing meditation, fathers can cultivate a sense of inner peace and calm that can have a positive impact on their mental health.
