how to overcome imposter syndrome

You can read so many books and articles on how to overcome imposter syndrome. I know so many people who have Imposter Syndrome, and it shows up in the more mysterious ways. Have you ever felt like you don’t belong, or will everyone find out that you don’t deserve your achievements? Have you taken the time out to do some self-reflection to see where you stand with yourself?

If you can relate to those feelings of chronic self-doubt, you’ve probably experienced imposter syndrome.

You’re not alone – studies suggest 70% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point in their career. 

This post is about how to overcome imposter syndrome.

Overall, imposter syndrome stems from a high sense of self-doubt. Instead of attributing your success to your skills, you might downplay your success and attribute it to luck.

Signs You Might Be Suffering from Imposter Syndrome

Do you relate to any of these patterns?

  • Perfectionism. You may set high goals for yourself. Because your goal is perfection, the most minor mistakes may make you feel like a failure.
  • Attribute success to luck. You downplay your success because you do not believe you deserve success or think you’re just lucky.
  • Unable to recognize success. Instead of celebrating your accomplishments, you worry that others will see “the truth” about your skills and abilities.
  • Fear of failure. Because of a fear of failure, you may set challenging goals and be disappointed when those goals fail. You might also take on limited tasks because you fear failure.
  • Difficulty asking for help. You might have trouble asking for help because you believe asking for help will show that you’re wrong or unqualified.

Experiencing imposter syndrome can limit your confidence to go after new opportunities because you do not deserve them.

Luckily, there are some steps you can take to give yourself more credit and start overcoming those feelings of self-doubt.

how to overcome imposter syndrome

Steps to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

  1. Acknowledge imposter feelings. Recognize when you start feeling like an imposter. Instead of engaging with your thoughts of self-doubt, acknowledge that it is a normal response.
  2. Understand the root of the cause. Why do you think you feel like you don’t belong? Is it due to a fear of failure? Do you believe that you don’t deserve success? Why or why not?
  3. Focus on facts, not feelings. When you start feeling like a fraud, focus on positive points. For example, maybe you were chosen for a job interview because of your qualifications.
  4. Ask yourself if that thought helps or hinders you. Does feeling fraudulent help or slow you? Is that what you want to be? What kind of person do you want to be?
  5. Reframe your thoughts. Instead of telling yourself that you don’t deserve success, reframe your thoughts to give yourself more credit and enjoy the experience.
    1. Own your accomplishments instead of attributing them to “luck” or “help from others.”
    2. Instead of setting impossibly high standards, set smaller goals so you can enjoy the process.
    3. Remind yourself there will never be the “perfect time.”
    4. Accept that we all have to start somewhere.
  1. Accept that it’s okay to make mistakes. Instead of fearing failure, develop a healthy response to making mistakes. Accept that it’s normal to make mistakes and learn from each error instead.
  2. Reach out for support. Having a safe space to receive support will help you reduce feelings of being an imposter. When you feel imperfect, make a mistake, or receive a compliment, your first instinct may be to hide. Instead, start reaching out to an encouraging mentor, coach, or colleague for support.
    1. Say “thank you” when you receive a compliment.
    2. Practice being honest when you feel imperfect, embarrassed, or have made a mistake.
    3. Share and celebrate your achievements and successes.
how to overcome imposter syndrome

Imposter syndrome can make you feel like you’re not good enough, don’t belong, or be undeserving. But it’s important to remind yourself that learning and making mistakes do not make you a fraud – it makes you human.

Instead of doubting yourself, take the above steps to build your self-esteem and self-worth.

Quick Hack for feeding grilled food to little kidd Quick Hack for feeding grilled food to little kiddos.

Yes, kids have choked on the skin/casing of food. Peeling it off allows them to still have the flavor without them trying to peel it off anyway because of the texture. 

Common foods this happens on
✨ Hotdogs
✨ Sausages 
✨ Some Nuts
✨ Some Candies
✨ Grapes

Make sure you are cutting these foods in small pieces for small kids to eat them with no issues

Thank you to everyone that wished Noah a Happy Bir Thank you to everyone that wished Noah a Happy Birthday, yesterday πŸ₯Ή

I take birthdays seriously, especially his. 

Due to RSV, Flu & Rona, we’ve never been able to plan big parties for him so the hubs and I bend over backward and do our best to make sure he feels special. 

He had a pretty light day. 
1️⃣ he ate his favorite meal: Bacon 🀣
2️⃣ licked the icing off the cupcakes
3️⃣ watched #AbbottElementary 
4️⃣ ate β€œnoodles” aka Ramen 
5️⃣ came home and had screentime

This is Part 1 of his birthday festivities. Part 2 coming soon. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ₯°

Even though the mask hurt my face, he was having a good time so that is all that matters. Three-nager loading πŸβ™‘οΈ
