It’s Ok To Be Selfish
4 Plays11 months ago
We spend our whole lives putting everyone else first and/or pleasing other people in our lives but what about us? Who are you and what do you want? It’s OK to be selfish! It’s ok to put you first!
And as always, remember:
YOU ARE STRONG.
YOU ARE CAPABLE.
YOU ARE WORTHY.
I love you and I’m ENDLESSLY rooting for you!

Introduction and Importance of Self-Prioritization
00:00:00
Speaker
It's okay to be selfish. It is okay to put you first. It is okay for you to fill your cup first because you cannot continue to pour into the cup of others if you're not pouring into your own first. And it took me many, many, many years to figure that out.
00:00:24
Speaker

Podcast Update and MBS Fitco Pre-launch
00:01:18
Speaker
Hello, hello. Welcome back to another episode of Finding My Best Self. My name is Pam Rivet. I am one of your hosts of Finding My Best Self. I do not have Mandy with me today, nor are we doing an interview episode
00:01:36
Speaker
This is going to be a super short and sweet episode. I just wanted to make sure that we didn't skip a week and that I did just kind of touch base with you and just kind of fill you in on what's been going on. So we weren't able to schedule any interviews for a couple reasons. We're waiting for Mandy to get all of her podcasting equipment in, which she'll be getting this week. So we'll definitely get back on our interview schedule next week.
00:01:59
Speaker
And also because over the last week or two, Mandy and I have been busting our butts, getting everything ready for the MBS Fitco prelaunch. So just real quick,
00:02:11
Speaker
We officially did pre-launch on Monday, February 19th, and pre-launch is running through February 25th. So if you're listening prior to that, we have pre-launched to only our VIP list. I'll put the link in the show notes. If you would like to become a VIP member of MBS Fitco, you will have access to our entire Empower set that is now available to VIP members, and they also are getting 20% off their entire purchase.
00:02:40
Speaker
So if you'd like to check it out, click on the link in the show notes, you can subscribe as a VIP and you will immediately get the email with the link to our shop as well as the 20% off discount code. After the 25th, we will go live to the public and however the discount code will no longer be in effect at that point.
00:02:59
Speaker
If you're interested, we would love for you to check out the set. It is an incredible set. And then you also get to see a little bit more about MBS Fitco and how we name our athleisure as well as our Beyond the Cape icons and what that's all about. So lots of exciting things.
00:03:18
Speaker
So, but today I did just want to take a minute to talk about something that I had on my heart this morning.
Societal Expectations and Self-Care
00:03:25
Speaker
I actually did a TikTok video a while back. I think it was, I don't know, maybe in August or September of last year anyway. And I specifically talked about being selfish and how that's okay.
00:03:40
Speaker
And I got a lot of attention on that, that TikTok video, people saying that they really needed to hear that. And I've just had it on my heart to maybe reiterate that today because a lot of that is how I came to starting MBS Fitco and the podcast. You know, we spend our entire lives always trying to do for and to please other people.
00:04:08
Speaker
So, you know, as a child, when you're growing up, you always are doing things as a kid to impress your parents or to get that, seeking that approval from your parents of, you know, good job, I'm proud of you and all of those things. And then we get a little bit older and, you know, you get into school and college and then it's always trying to do and make your teachers happy or getting the good grades or, you know,
00:04:35
Speaker
making friends and trying to fit in to all of, you know, the different groups or just, again, you know, being celebrated or, you know, with the teachers and stuff.
00:04:48
Speaker
And then we get a little older and maybe we start dating or we get married. And then it's everything and anything to make that other person happy and to lift them up and do for them. And then we have children. We may have children and then it's all about being mom.
00:05:10
Speaker
trying to take care of the kids and do for the kids and putting everyone else first but you. It's okay to be selfish. It is okay to put you first. It is okay for you to fill your cup first because you cannot continue to pour into the cup of others if you're not pouring into your own first.
00:05:33
Speaker
And it took me many, many, many years to figure that out. I put everybody, anyone and everyone,
00:05:43
Speaker
you know, even what I miss is, you know, when you start working and that you're always trying to please your boss or, you know, please your customers or patients or clients or whoever it is that you're working for or speaking to within the company, you know, even other employees, you know, the staff and coworkers and trying to make them
Self-Care Journey and Activewear Promotion
00:06:04
Speaker
happy. It's just everything in life is all revolved around what we can do or how we need to please other people.
00:06:11
Speaker
But then we put ourselves on the back burner and then burnout happens. And that's when depression happens and anxiety and stress and all of those things. And then before you know it, you don't even know who you are anymore. What do you want? Who are you and what do you want in life? What are your goals? Where do you want to go? What makes you happy? We lose sight of that throughout the years, throughout trying to
00:06:40
Speaker
Be a people pleaser. And not that there's anything wrong with that. Of course, we want to do everything for our children. Of course, we want to, you know, love on our spouses and, you know, our significant others. And that's okay. But you have to take care of you too. So I'll say it again. It's okay to be selfish. Take care of you and put you first. Because when you do, everyone else around you will see it and feel it too.
00:07:11
Speaker
And you can have so much more to give, so much more energy and less stress and less anxiety when you take care of you. And so when I did that, when I started taking care of myself, getting up early, doing the personal development, reading and journaling, doing the things that I needed to do to find my own center,
00:07:37
Speaker
And to figure out what it is that Pam likes and what Pam wants and what I want for my future and started to focus a lot more on that allowed so many doors to open for me. So I encourage you to do the same. It's okay to be selfish. Take care of you. Figure out what it is that you want and what makes you happy and what keeps you going. Fill your cup first.
00:08:07
Speaker

Future Podcast Plans and Community Engagement
00:09:12
Speaker
Next week, I believe if I get the interview that I am looking for, we're going to interview someone who's not from here for the first time. Someone
00:09:24
Speaker
that I don't know very well, but she talked with me and she has an incredible story. As I read through her information, it was just the chills and the goosebumps over and over and over again. So I am very, very excited.
00:09:39
Speaker
to speak with her and I have a few others on the lineup. So we're going to have a bunch of really incredible interviews coming up for you, as well as Mandy and I are going to start our duo episodes, which I'm so excited about because I just enjoy talking with her in general. And she'll be able to have all of her set up at home as well. Other than that, I am so excited for the podcast, the future of the podcast and MBS Fitco. We have a lot of exciting things.
00:10:06
Speaker
on the books and planned out for our podcast community as well. I can't share yet, but stay tuned because over the next six months or so, we have a lot to come. A lot of ideas. Mandy and I actually sat down last night and we were doing some talking about goals and what we wanted to see for the future of MBS Fitco, as well as finding my best self podcast. And it's going to be absolutely incredible. So I'll talk to you soon.
00:10:36
