Podcast Episode 120 — Ways to Overcome Impostor Syndrome
Give these a try.
Today I want to talk about impostor syndrome again. I talked about what it is and how it can show up a little while ago. Now I have some tips to help you overcome it.
Recognize the feeling.
Are you suddenly plagued with self-doubt? It could be that you’re dealing with a bout of impostor syndrome. Instead of listening to your inner critic, realize what is happening and choose to move on.
Ask yourself if what you’re feeling helps you.
For example, if you’re feeling like a fraud, does feeling that way help you? Or does it make things more complicated? Once you realize that buying into impostor syndrome does not help you, it can be easier to overcome those feelings and move forward.
Change your thinking.
If you think you don’t deserve success, try giving yourself permission to enjoy your success and own your accomplishments. After all, it wasn’t just luck or help from others that got you where you are. They may have helped, for sure, but it was YOU that put in the hard work. Pat yourself on the back for doing such a great job.
Choose to learn from your mistakes.
