Stop Calling it "Imposter Syndrome"

Let's stop calling it "imposter syndrome" and start calling it what it really is...

The thought, the feeling, the action. That's it.

No need to make it into something bigger.

Because when it's just a thought or feeling - sure it's uncomfortable - but it's manageable. We can get through it, know it's temporary, and move past it.

But when it's a syndrome - then it feels massive. It becomes this big block or problem we are faced with, and it can start to weigh us down whenever we think of trying to overcome it.

So let's take away the power by taking away the weight.

It isn't a syndrome. It's a momentary experience. So focus on the moment you're in, the feeling you're having. And don't make it mean anything more about you.

Because thoughts and feelings come and go. No heaviness needed.

Being You

You being you uplifts the planet.

You don’t have to even see how (though if you look, I bet you’ll notice some examples!).

Because when you are you, the whole world benefits.

When you bring your unique, needed self out and share it with the world, you are filling a void.

A void that honestly NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU can fulfill.

You have a key part to play.

All that’s needed from you, is that you be you.

And I know sometimes this can feel so hard.

We can feel like we don’t know how to connect with ourselves because we’ve been holding back for so long that we forgot how to access our own self within.

But it’s easier than it may seem, to reconnect with yourself. Because being you, is what you’re meant for.

So deep exhale out, shoulders back, one step forward.

It’s time to courageously set forth, being fully you, every moment of the day.

You’ve got this darling. You were made for this job.

Check in with You

Before asking that colleague for their opinion.
Before double-checking with your trusted confidant about whether your idea makes sense.
Before soliciting feedback from your peers or mentors.

Check. In. With. You.

What do YOU think?
What resonates with you?

Don’t ask your head this.
Ask your heart.

Drop into the energy of your intuition.
And from that place of calm centeredness, clarify with yourself what you believe.

And then if you want to ask your colleague, or check with a confidant, or solicit feedback, go for it. But don’t use their opinions to define you or whether your idea makes sense. Use their opinions as data for you to solidify, calibrate, further hone your own opinion.

And, now knowing their opinions, you then…

Check. Back. In. With. You.

After hearing what you’ve heard, what is your truth?

It may be the same, unchanged from the opinions of others that you gathered.

It may have changed, and this doesn’t mean anything less about you - it simply means you’ve encountered new experience and insight and have evolved your perspective.

It may be that your original opinion is solidified - even if others disagreed with you, it may just help you to see the strength of your own belief.

Whatever the case, you can rejoice in the discoveries you make.

Because when you do this process, you’re allowing yourself to be open to others’ insights from a place of continued CONNECTION WITH YOURSELF.

So that you don’t feel swayed by each point of feedback you get. Instead you get to use each one as an opportunity to reconnect with your own self about your values and beliefs.

This is you, getting to hear you, and getting to know you and honor you.

The Truth About Positive Affirmations

Positive affirmations cannot come from the mind.
They need to come from the soul.

Meaning that you don’t want to intellectually choose an affirmation to use. And then force it by repeating it to yourself until it sticks.

Instead, you want to use an affirmation that comes from within. Something that you already know - that a part of you inside, is already saying to you. That you can grasp and hear.

This way you use an affirmation that resonates with the truth of who you are. Because it came from you - from your inner guidance within.

Your mind may still not believe that affirmation just yet. But that’s okay. Because you, deep down, believe it. Even if the mind isn’t on board yet.

This is how you use positive affirmations to heal and bring forth greater self love, appreciation, and abundance.

Because the affirmation is specifically crafted by your own soul, just for you, to say just what you need, just when you need to hear it.
