Serving others as we care for ourselves

Serving others, in any professional career choice, challenges our sense of balance. How much we care for ourselves as we care for others matters. What is your balance point? Do you spend your time 50-50? Fifty percent for other, fifty percent for yourself?

Do you feel comfortable or worn out at the end of the day?

Are you taking medications to help with pain after work?

Do you sleep deeply and well, or are you restless and exhausted.

Are you coping with food, drugs, sugar?

Self-assessments are helpful to find out if you are overstepping the balance a bit. Changing this pattern may be the best thing you can do for yourself. Go for 55% for YOU 45% for OTHERS. Giving your best self to others is easier if we give our best to ourselves.
