Self care is good. But we can sometimes get the wrong idea about what will really fill us up. 

We can end up thinking that if we could just get a massage, just go get a pedicure, just eat chocolate,  or just watch a movie, it would fix what’s wrong in our lives. Massages and chocolate are good. But these things won’t necessarily nurture our souls.

We can do all sorts of skin-deep self care for our bodies, but end up neglecting soul care. Sometimes when we are soul deep weary what we need is to invest energy in an activity that will refresh and refocus our souls. Something that will not just numb our feelings, but that will bring us deeper peace.
