Helping others and keeping the balance

I am catching up with posting online my articles.


So here comes a very important realisation regarding my work and the process in general. Thus I am working as a therapist of natural medicine and I have noticed on few occasions that I got entrapped in the pattern of "sacrificing myself for others".

What does it mean to sacrifice myself for others ?

Well... look... I am in the position where I can help people with their health problems. But at all times I am a subject to the rules of this reality and thus there is a certain limit/number of people that I can attend and assist. And once I cross the critical point of tiredness then my efficiency in helping other decreases dramatically.

But this is not all... after crossing this critical point I can push and force myself to continue attend and see more patients but then this is already affecting my health. And the longer I work outside of the safe zone then the consequences are greater which simply means that I am putting myself at risk at getting sick myself. And it is obvious that once I am sick then I am not able to help others anymore.

Thus within this we have the rule that "the turtle wins the race". In the short term I am able to take on myself more load and help more people but then there comes the point when I get sick and I forced to keep away from people to get myself recovered from my sickness. If I managed my time and my resources wisely ( like the turtle ) then - although I would work at slower pace - I would be able to help more people in the longer run.

But this is not all as here comes also another realisation. Look... once I manage to keep myself in balance all the time I am becoming a living example radiating all the time this balance onto all my patients and other people around me. And I know that there is no medicine or therapy out there that would be better and more effective than that. So this is the point for me to be careful about.
