your self-care checklist is inside ⤵️
Hey Reader,
Let's say someone asks you to do something that you really don't want to do...
How do you react?
Do you:
A. Look at them straight in the eye and say no
B. Look away and make up an BS excuse to explain why you "can't"
or
C. Get awkward, say yes and regret instantly.
If you chose anything but A, you're gonna want to hear what I have to say next.
Saying no can get really uncomfortable.
We feel guilty for putting ourselves first.
As if we were doing something really selfish.
Well the truth is...
We are.
But it's okay.
Actually, and contrary to popular belief, it's NECESSARY.
Yes, you read that right:
If you want to genuinely be there for others, you need to put yourself first.
You need to be selfish to make sure you'll be 100% available when the time comes.
Have you ever heard the expression "you can't pour from an empty cup"?
It means that if you want to show up for others, you need to show up for yourself first.
Now I know that's no easy task, trust me; I've been there.
So if you're still struggling to show up for yourself (or, maybe you're not quite even sure what that means), there's a blog post I wrote that I think you'll love.
It'll help you to understand what showing up for yourself really means and show you how you can do it, DAILY.
Let me know if this helped!
Be selfish,
Marie-Pier xx

Spa days, bubble baths, shopping sprees… Reader, if those are the first things that come to mind when you think of self-care, you’re not alone… but you’re totally off track. And so was I. I used to never make time for self-care… because I believed that it required a significant amount of my precious time, time that I didn’t have. What an irony. Oh and I also used to believe that putting myself first was selfish. I cannot count how many times I’ve said yes or agreed to do things I didn’t want...
Have you ever had this heavy feeling that people are looking at you? Like... you just want to do your own thing but you're SO self-conscious that you just can't. I had this feeling for soooo long. Did I overcome it? I would say yes. Partly, at least. I still feel judged at times, but now I know how to talk myself out of it. Reader, the fear of being judged is so deeply anchored inside that you can't simply snap ya fingers and get rid of it. blah. For me, overcoming it started with...
