I know what it feels like to lose yourself while trying to hold on to someone else. For years, I gave too much, overthought everything, ignored what I needed. I battled all of this alone.

But somewhere along the way, I started choosing myself again.

You Are Your Priority, Not Their Option is for anyone who is tired of shrinking, overthinking, people-pleasing, accepting mixed signals, chasing clarity, and feeling guilty for having needs.

This book will help you rebuild your self-worth, recognise unhealthy patterns sooner, set stronger boundaries, and learn how to love without abandoning yourself in the process.

This is not a book of empty affirmations or vague advice telling you to simply “love yourself.”

Inside this book, you will find:

110 powerful truths designed to help you understand what is happening and see your situation more clearly
Ask Yourself reflections that help you recognise your own patterns
Reality Checks that bring you back to what someone’s actions are actually showing you
Boundary scripts for difficult conversations
Mini exercises that turn insight into action
Comparison pages that make unhealthy and healthy patterns easier to recognise
Writing prompts that help you process your experiences honestly

And when you are ready to put everything into practice, you will also find a 30-Day Choosing Yourself Practice Section filled with simple daily actions designed to help you turn what you have learned into real change.

You will learn how to:

stop confusing attention with intention
recognise when you are being kept as an option
stop auditioning for a place in someone’s life
set boundaries without overexplaining or drowning in guilt
separate genuine guilt from the discomfort of disappointing someone
and many more…

You do not have to become cold, selfish, or unreachable to choose yourself.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
