Self-Care Tool #3:
FEED YOUR SOUL
Self-Care Tool #2:
DIVE INTO BODY
NOURISHMENT
This could be a pretty boring topic,
harking back to the “get enough sleep”
advice I mentioned earlier, however, this
is an invitation for you to tune into your
body in a new, deep, delicious way. Yes,
get enough sleep – that is crucial for us
sensitive folk – but what does your body
want?
I’m not a big fan of going out there and
punishing your body in the name of self-
care. If you are not receiving pleasure
from your body, it’s time to change your
practice. Or if you don’t have a practice,
it’s time to create one your way.
This step is about creating an intuitive
relationship with your body so you can give
it the care it not only needs, but also wants.
What is your current relationship with caring
for your body? How can you care for your
body in ways that give you pleasure? What
kind of movement does your body crave?
Finding ways to honor your body will also
serve to feed your soul, which is Step #3.

This is most certainly one of the most
important self-care tools for a highly
sensitive woman. This is about making
your soul sing. I think of self-care in
terms of “energy-generating” or “energy-
depleting.” As you go through your day,
make sure you are peppering in lots of
energy-generating moments in the form
of things that give you pleasure, instill a
sense of passion in you, and make you
feel alive and inspired. Feed your soul.
These three practices are essential.
Habituating self-care and prioritizing yourself
is life changing. Not only has mastering self-
care helped me realize my full potential, but
it’s allowed me to serve my tribe and live
my purpose in huge way – one that didn’t
feel possible when I was mired in meltdown,
fatigue and overwhelm. These practices
can change your life, too.
