“When we begin to care for ourselves more intentionally, on a consistent basis, we inevitably become more aware of our inner world...the standard of care becomes deeper.”
in this episode
How do you care for yourself? Have you experienced times when self-care felt fleeting or incomplete? What does it mean to honor your soul self? What are you doing when you feel most connected to the God within? In this episode, Shelby shares a download she received about moving beyond the concept of self-care into something deeper, truer, and more sustainable. The way dominant culture discusses self-care tends to focus on caring for our physical vessel, which is a groundbreaking step forward from the well-being gap so many of us have experienced, but it’s just the first step toward a deeper connection to self and to spirit. Self-care practices position us to come into presence with our inner world. From that place, there’s more to discover and to bring intention to. Self-devotion can take us even further toward sustainably and intentionally honoring the soul self and the God within. Shelby shares her definition of self-devotion and some of the key elements she’s learned so far along her journey. This episode will leave you feeling curious to seek and honor your truth.
