I Don’t Even Like Pepperoni!!

You may be thinking; what the heck is Lynn talking about?
What has not liking pepperoni got to do with loving yourself?
Well, let me tell you.
I was such a people pleaser back in the day that I even ate pepperoni when my partner at the time made the only recipe he ever made; pasta with pepperoni. He didn’t just make this meal once, he made it several times and yes, I ‘pretended’ to love it, just to please him!!
Can you believe it?
That was how DESPERATE I was for his love.
I was prepared to do whatever it took to earn his love, because I believed that that was what you did. You ‘EARNED’ love.
This is what people pleasing is; trying to earn love.
As I write this today it seems so ridiculous that I would do this. That I would eat something like pepperoni which I didn’t like, to earn love.
But I did.
And this is just one example I can share with you. There are SO many more.
Today I am NOT a people pleaser.
I will help and support others as much as I can but I am NOT attempting to earn their love.
Today I stand in my own power and know it to be absolutely true that love is unconditional.
How about you?
Do you resonate with my story?
Are you a people pleaser?
Do you try to earn love?
Are you willing to make a commitment to yourself today to STOP?

When you truly learn to love yourself you are no longer willing to people please.
You are no longer willing to do things you really don’t want to do.
You are no longer willing to put other people before yourself.
You are no longer willing to wake up every morning dreading the day ahead.
YOU ARE SO WORTHY OF YOUR OWN LOVE.
YOU ARE SO DESERVING OF YOUR OWN LOVE.
YOU ARE SO LOVEABLE BECAUSE YOU EXIST.
Learn to love yourself.
Learn to be kind and gentle with yourself.
Learn to treat yourself with kindness.
Learn to love yourself.
Sending you all so much love from my heart to yours.
Lynn
