Initiating a Shift
We hear a lot about self-care—eat well, sleep, meditate. These things matter. But sometimes, what we need isn’t more advice or another routine. What we need is a deeper way of relating to ourselves.
Self-Care as Soul-Care
Carl Jung spoke of the Self as the totality of the psyche. The word psyche means “soul.” So when we talk about self-care, we’re also speaking about caring for the soul.
For me, this small shift—from self-care to soul-care—has changed everything. It invites me to listen not just to my body’s needs, but to my whole self. To move beyond symptom management into something more meaningful: a relationship.
Practicing Soul-Care
Instead of asking “What should I be doing for self-care?”, ask:
- How am I feeling in this moment—mentally, emotionally, physically?
- What is my body trying to tell me?
- Is there a small shift I can make to feel more connected?
Sometimes that means rest. Other times, it means movement, creative expression, stillness, or tears. These aren’t tasks to check off—they’re invitations back into myself.
It’s Not a Performance. It’s a Practice.
Soul-care isn’t about doing it “right.” It’s about being in relationship with yourself.
Each small pause, each act of gentleness, each breath of awareness is an act of coming home. And coming home to yourself isn’t indulgent—it’s essential.
