You could feel charitable today and want to make a helpful contribution to those less fortunate. You might think about the ways you can serve others in your local community, like volunteering your time to a community project or donating food or clothing to a local shelter. You might also want to take care that you don't deplete your strength by taking on too much. If you can set aside some time to take care of your own needs today, you will be in a much better frame of mind to help others. You might engage in restful activities like yoga or meditation to develop a calm mind and rested body, or you could do something enjoyable for yourself, like curling up at home with a good book or taking a soothing walk through a local park.

Taking care to restore our energy and foster a healthy mind and body will enable us to serve others without depleting ourselves. Our desire to serve others is a positive trait, but we may tend to get overzealous in our efforts and give too much of ourselves. Choosing to engage in restorative activities on a regular basis and making our own care a priority will keep us feeling strong and vital. Taking proper care of ourselves will also create a happy, optimistic mind-set, which makes us feel more inspired to make a positive contribution to the world. Devoting some time and attention to your own self-care today will enable you to serve others with joy.
