Self-Care Versus Soul-Care: What’s the Difference and Why You Need Them Both

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.
