Isn’t it ironic that the one person we expect so much from is the very person that often we give the least attention to. When we neglect ourselves, it becomes so much more difficult to manage and successfully meander our way through our busy and hectic lives.

In this next part of the book we are going to explore:

• How we tend to treat ourselves and what affect this has on our well-being and functioning as we go about our busy lives.
• The benefit of self-kindness and how it is a skill that we can cultivate.
• Ways of being loving and compassionate to ourselves as an antidote to self-criticism.
• How to handle difficult relationships in our lives.
• Practising self-care to build resilience to stress and busyness.
