Chapter one. Save time to make time for you. This chapter and the one that follows are both designed to help find more time for yourself. If you already have lots of free time, don't worry too much about the activities. Just reading the concepts will be a timely refresher on, perhaps provide you with a technique to share with someone you feel would benefit from having more time for themselves. We'll discuss saving yourself time both at home and work, which is a powerful self compassion technique. Don't worry if you live on your own. At first you might think, How can I save time at home? I have to do everything myself. Trust me. There are cunning ways to help you save oodles of time. It's exciting. The same is true. If you work on your own, we just have to think laterally. I'm here to guide you. Let's start by delving into the world of self compassion. Think of the most recent time you helped someone in a tight spot who just needed support. How would you describe your style of care? After reading through these descriptions over the next few sections, you'll be able to see how you categorise yourself as a helper giver, etcetera. Now take a moment to think of all the people you have helped recently. How did you do it? Did you help out with tasks where you're a great listener in Counsellor? Were you a compassionate hugger hand holder? Or maybe they're just because they needed someone to be with. You can apply all these compassion techniques to your family and friends. How you help others is how you will start helping yourself. You'll love your life when you master all these techniques on practise them on your beautiful self.

If it's beneficial for elite athletes, it has to be beneficial for us. We might not run as fast or lift his heavy of weights, But if these elite athletes saw what we juggled every day, they would be exhausted. We need time to recuperate. If you can accept that lightning of Friends workload will help her recuperate and bounce back, the same logic must apply to ourselves. The question is, how can you reduce the pressure on yourself in your everyday life? The reality is not every task has to be done today, and often it doesn't have to be done by you. Similarly, not every task necessarily needs perfection. Good enough is good enough, and sometimes that task doesn't need to be done at all. As women were very good at taking on tasks we shouldn't. If you've ever used the phrase, I'll just do it, then you know what I mean. It is time to ease up on your workload.
