Self-Care Versus Soul-Care: What’s the Difference and Why You Need Them Both
Introduction
So much buzz has been going around about self-care. While it is a very important part of your wellness journey, soul-care is also needed to maximize and sustain the peace, calm and joy you are working to develop and maintain in your life. While the two can share the same activities, they also have activities that are totally different. Some of these activities are purely for relaxation and rest and others are for the nourishment of your mind. Emotional growth often lies in the soul-care practices you have for yourself. Emotional self-care and soul-care often involves a lot of mental work and doesn’t always feel relaxing, lol. It feels exhausting, frustrating and impossible at times. You will likely need to follow your soul-care with self-care to replenish your cup.
How you manage your time will also play a part in your ability to practice self-care and soul-care. Many busy professionals barely have time for what they have to do every week, finding time for the activities your body needs to rest and grow are far and few between. All of these concepts are necessary to incorporate these practices regularly into your weekly schedule. If you have not done a time audit to see where you are spending your time, start there. Then you can see where you are spending your time and make adjustments based on what you have to do and what you want to do. Prioritizing your tasks and activities will help you with your schedule when things pop up or get thrown off track. Also, leaving some white space in between your activities can also help with managing your time and helping you feel less stressed throughout your day. Time management is actually a form of self-care as it allows you to honor your time and energy. Let me know what self-care and soul-care activities you have in your wellness journey.
