When you are suffering, you are not only less inclined to help others, the help that you offer them will not be as effective, and there will be less of it. That is why, whether you’re a parent, taking care of elderly parents, a professional in the therapy or medical professions, or donate your time to charity, you need to take care of you first. There are many ways
that you may be able to improve yourself. Some of them are obvious,
like your weight or muscle tone, while others may not occur to you
like the amount of clutter that has worked its way into your
surroundings. You will be amazed at how much better you feel if you
just throw a lot of the stuff out that you don't use. Looking into a
closet or storage cabinet that looks organized and useful will make
you feel much better as will looking around and being in a clutter
free and clean home. Just this alone may give you the energy to get
started on improving other areas of your
life. Another fairly easy
way to take care of yourself is to change your diet so that you
aren't consuming things that aren't healthy for you. Simply put, you
should try to avoid sugar, salt, alcohol, and fat. Other things that
you will want to wean yourself off of are coffee and carbonated
beverages. Carbonated beverages put carbon dioxide into your system
that your body will struggle to get rid of and there are many things
in coffee that are just not healthy. You should always take
the time to do the things that relax you and make you feel at peace.
This may involve reading a book, drawing, listening to music,
running, playing golf, or anything that allows you to focus on
something healthy that gives you inner pleasure. This will help you
relieve stress and you will find that you have more energy and are
able to make better decisions and get more done in the other areas
of your life. Don't let others make you feel guilty about doing
these things instead of trying to save the world. When you get
to what they want you to do, you will be much more
useful. After you accomplish these petty simple things, you will be able to begin to look at other areas of your life that you might want to improve but require more effort. You may want to finish college or go for your Masters. You may want to lose forty pounds or more. You may want to learn a foreign language or start your own business. All of these things and many other things that you want to do are hard, but once you get the simple things done, you will have the energy to do them.
