4 Key Lessons from Ditching Imposter Syndrome by Clare Josa
1. Turn your inner critic into an inner coach
Self-criticism is natural and it’s important to be honest with yourself, but it’s also important to be kind and compassionate to yourself.
Start reframing your negative self-talk into positive affirmations and begin to recognize your own worth and value.
This will help you to make positive changes in your life and become more confident.
2. Find a support network
Surround yourself with people who make you feel good about yourself, and who recognize and celebrate your successes.
This will help to boost your self-esteem and give you the encouragement you need to keep pushing forward.
3. Learn to recognize and manage your triggers
Identify the things that trigger your feelings of impostor syndrome, such as fear of failure, fear of success, perfectionism, etc.
Once you’ve identified these triggers, take steps to manage them, such as developing healthy coping strategies and reframing your thoughts.
4. Take action and build momentum
Taking action is essential in ditching imposter syndrome.
Set small, achievable goals and take steps to move towards them.
This will help to build your self-confidence and create a feeling of achievement.
