Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
Have you ever had a case of imposter syndrome?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You may know the feeling. That feeling where you feel like you don’t belong or somehow you’ll be discovered as a fraud or phony. That belief that you have been given something that you didn’t earn or deserve. And that at any moment you will be exposed.
A recent study discovered that 75% of women executives have experienced imposter syndrome. So, you are not alone.
Here are some ways to overcome feeling like an imposter:
Stop Comparing yourself to others-Comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t allow the feelings of insecurity and inferiority, that comes along with comparing yourself to others, to diminish your accomplishments.⠀
Surround yourself with positive people-Your inner circle should be your biggest cheerleaders.
Give yourself some grace-You are doing the best that you can in this moment.
Take Care of Yourself-Do not forget to schedule time for self-care and rest.⠀
Watch your words-Stay positive and speak to yourself with compassion and love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If no-one has ever told you this, let me be the first to tell you. You worked hard and deserve every applause, accolade, award and good thing that comes your way.⠀⠀
