Some of the most rewarding experiences can come from helping others. Tutoring, coaching, and mentoring are a few great ways to make an impact on someone’s life.

But sometimes we devote so much effort on these activities that we fail to properly take care of ourselves. We let our physical or mental health begin to fade, and soon we find that we’re no longer quite as effective.

Helping others is great, but it can only be done after we’ve properly taken care of ourselves.

A drowning lifeguard isn’t very effective.
