Self care

There seems to a be a theme developing for the past couple of days! I have a lovely cat themed oracle deck and while drawing a card for inspiration on what to write about, received a similar message to yesterday.

This card elicited an “awww” from me as soon as it fell out of the deck. It shows a kitty with a gorgeous stripy tail and a black and green hued body. This poor creature looks like he has been through the wars with one eye stitched up and patches covering the challenges he has been through.

He represents the obstacles and difficulties we all face in life and the journey it has taken to get where we are right now. He may have scars and wounds from his soul travels, but he has endured and come out of it a stronger kitty.

As well as inner strength, ultimately this card is about self-care. That we have to look after our own well being before we can properly take care of others. Like the cat, sometimes we have to take time out to allow ourselves to heal and find peace. To mend our emotional wounds before re-engaging with life again refreshed and renewed.

How will you nourish and soothe your soul today?
