Taking care of yourself

One of the most important things a person can do is to take care of themselves first. Why would a person not want to, anyway?

But I see so many people, particular in my line of work as a caregiver, who neglect themselves. As a result, their energy levels decline, and people get frustrated with them because a load of stress gets put on others when they do not do what they need to do.

From firsthand experience, I know how important it is to take care of oneself first and worry about others later, if at all. Burnout can be caused by taking on too many worries, concerns, and responsibilities. The wisdom of vitality is to know your limits, and to know what responsibilities to shirk - the ones that aren't yours to take on.
