For me, I find service to others in all the same activities I engaged in before I made the conscious decision to polarize positively. The difference between my life before and my life now is the way I frame the activities I engage in. For example, one of my children awakens me crying out in the night. Before I would have awoken with the thought "Damn, time to own up to my parental responsibility and deal with this" now I frame it as "Great! an opportunity to perform a sacred service to the infinite creator in a new manifestation that he may have the best experience possible at this time". The same goes for the majority of family activity I once saw as burden and responsibility and now see as opportunity to make sacred offering. The preparation of meals is another good example. What better way to make an offering to the creator than to provide for his manifestations sustenance?. This thinking can be extended beyond the immediate family and directed towards all other-selves. The most difficult is directing this type of thinking at those who are of an obvious negative nature. I still struggle with this part, but I have had some success in the idea that those who polarize negatively create the contrast that allows the positive polarity to shine its brightest. Even in serving themselves exclusively, they offer a form of service that is still of value to others.

Shortly after posting this I came across a channeling transcript about this very topic. In brief, Hatonn says that we serve in two ways. The first way is transient but of value, this is stuff like preparing meals for others, helping a friend move...etc and the second way is eternal, an that is to assist in spiritual evolution of another. The latter is more important, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't invest in the former as well. check out the full session here: http://www.llresearch.org/transcripts/is..._0202.aspx
addition from the session following the one posted above:
It is not necessary that you seek out opportunities to serve. It is only necessary that you serve as best you can as the opportunities present themselves. It is impossible to serve if one is not knowledgeable as to how to serve, and it is not possible in your particular state of awareness to know how to serve, unless this knowledge is sought through daily meditation.
The process, therefore, is quite simple. It is only necessary that an individual become aware of how to serve through meditation. It is then only necessary that he serve as the opportunities for service present themselves. If these simple tasks are performed, he is fulfilling all of the requirements that were specified by our Creator.
I hope that I have been of service tonight. I hope that I have been able to act as the opportunity presented itself. I am Hatonn. I leave you in the love and in the light of our infinite Creator. Adonai vasu.
