Soul-care is so important

Send us a topic suggestionIt is okay to love yourself as much as you love others. Self-love is essential to your mental and emotional health.  The self-love affirmation for today is I AM WHAT I AM BY THE GRACE OF GOD. In this episode I talked about soul-care. The definition of soul-care according to justdisciple.com is "the daily process of cultivating healthy thought patterns and taking inventory of emotions so that you can walk in obedience and live freely before God while also healthily forming meaningful relationships with other people." It is important to practice soul-care, self-care, and self-love. It is important because this is where it all begins, with you. As you have a healthy soul, you will have healthy relationships. As you take care of you, you can take care of others.  As you love yourself, you will love others. Matthew 22:37-39 states, "Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"
