Tend to your fire

Self-care is more than just resting so you can accomplish your to-do list with more effectiveness.

Real self-care is keeping the fire inside of your soul roaring. This means it’s your job not just to rest, but to do the things that bring you joy, create the space to do the work that you are deeply passionate about, and stop settling for a spirituality mediocre life. It is so, so easy to let busy-ness get in the way of our spark, and for us to even intentionally or unintentionally make it harder for other people to focus on their aliveness.

Tending to our fires takes discipline and energy, and we need the fire to fuel the relationships and contributions that are important to us. Focus on the fire and let non-essential burn away.
