Self-care is essential to your mental health. Sometimes we call it “soul care.”
“Our soul is like an inner stream of water, which gives strength, direction, and harmony to every other element of our life. When that stream is as it should be, we are constantly refreshed and exuberant in all we do, because our soul itself is then profusely rooted in the vastness of God and His Kingdom, including nature; and all else within us is enlivened and directed by that stream.” Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart.
Jesus is the living water. John 7:37
