👎 Think You’re Not a “Fun Dad”? Think Again.

Ever caught yourself thinking,

“I’m just not the kind of guy who…”
Finish the sentence: shows emotion, slows down, or even plays with silly voices?

That’s a limiting belief and the limit is not only on your capacity as a father; it limits your child’s creativity and growth.
This week, we break free from the thoughts that shrink us—so we can rise into the fathers we were made to be.

1️⃣ For Me (Improve Yourself)

🧠 Identify One Limiting Belief—and Challenge It
These beliefs are sneaky. They sound like:

• “I always mess things up.”

• “I’m not patient.”

• “I’ll never get it right.”

This week, spot one and interrogate it like it owes you money.
Ask:

• Is this actually true—or just repeated?

• Where did it come from?

• What’s a better belief to replace it with?

Example:

Limiting Belief: “I’m not a fun dad.”
Better Belief: “Fun looks different on me, but I bring joy in my own way and I’m open to trying new ways to be fun.”

You’re not bound by old thoughts. You’re building new truths—for you and your kids.

2️⃣ For ‘We’ (Improve Your Relationship)

📵 Have a Tech-Free Hour Together
No phones. No TV. No scrolling. Just eye contact, attention, and real-life presence.
You don’t even have to talk the whole time. Just be available. Play a game. Do a puzzle. Make something together. Do nothing together.

My personal favorite: Evening time, light a single candle, shutoff all the lights, sit on the floor across from each other (candle between you) with zero expectations of anything at all. Just be right there.

The message?

“You’re more important than anything in my feed.”

One hour. That’s it. (even 20 minutes of this is recharging).
And it’ll speak volumes louder than a dozen heart emojis or a “like.”

3️⃣ For ‘WEEEEEEE!’ (Improve Your Relationship with the Kids)

🏃 Make a Homemade Obstacle Course
Time to turn your living room, backyard, or hallway into a battleground of awesomeness.

Ideas:

• Couch cushion jumps

• Tape on the floor balance beams (Painters tape is best imo)

• Crawl under chairs

• Sock-toss targets

• Finish line dance party 💃

• Pick an animal to move like (bunny hops, crab crawls, octopus swims)

Let them design it too. Bonus: they’ll burn energy and beam with pride.
Your involvement = the win. Doesn’t matter how wild or wobbly it looks.
