Self-care only fulfills surface-level needs and desires. What our souls really need can only be given by our Creator. Instead of watching that TV show or taking an extra nap you don't need, spend some time connecting with God! Read Scripture, take a walk and admire creation, reflect on how He's worked in your life, or pray for joy that only comes from the Spirit. Of course, God also uses physical resources to fulfill our needs... if you are struggling to feel filled our counselors would love to help you!
