Everything starts with you. The first step is self acceptence. We all have a dark side. We have flaws. Most of us are weird. But who wants to be perfect? Perfect is boring. Everything we feel shame for is what makes us wonderful. Like an accent, funny face expressions, your extreme shyness, or red hair of freckles. I wish I had that. What if you could see yourself just the way I see you! 💖 What makes you weird and wonderful? #designerslife #creativesofinstagram #creativeentrepreneur #businessofdesign #impostersyndrome #impostersyndromeisreal #designcutscommunity #personalgrowth #personalbrandingcoach #personalbrandingtips #personalbrandingconsultant #personalbrandingexpert #personalbrandingstrategist #creativewomen #graphicdesigners #graphicdesignstudent #graphicdesignermalaysia #welovebranding #creativeentrepreneurship #creativeentrepeneur Reposted from @theannelihansson (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwF9QjratT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

WARNING REAL AF POST… As Y’all Know There Has Been A Lot Going On In My Personal & Business Life Lately. Was Feeling Real Down & Out All Day Yesterday. Being Moody & Snapping At My Bride Michele Bruzzi-Kaufman & Kids Im Sorry 😢 Woke Up Feeling The Same Way Then I Opened My Phone And There Was A Message From Dean Graziosi - Mindset, Marketing, Momentum & Newyorktimes Best Selling Author. And I Realized I Was Struggling With Imposter Syndrome. What Is That? I Found This. Are You Feeling The Same Way? Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon in which individuals doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud". This can manifest in feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence in one's abilities. This syndrome is particularly prevalent among high-achievers, as well as in certain fields such as academia and the arts. However, imposter syndrome can affect anyone. It's important to understand that imposter syndrome is not a reflection of one's actual abilities, and that many successful people have experienced it. There are many techniques such as self-reflection, positive self-talk, and building a support network that can help individuals cope with imposter syndrome. So If You Are Struggling With This And Want To Beat This Gimme A HELL YEAH!! #impostersyndrome #impostersyndromeisreal #mindsetmatters (at North Arlington, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnSAL1PuyDB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📢 External Validation 101 ⚠️ If you live to seek praise from others, you're handing them control over your life! 😵‍💫 This is a BIG one & especially in today's day and age. I have to check myself & catch myself slipping sometimes. Some forms of external validation are healthy. Especially when you're a child and you receive positive reinforcement from your parents. It becomes harmful when it's all you seek. ⚡ Here are some harmful examples: ➡️ You date someone based on what your family wants for you. ➡️ You pursue a career because society or your family will see you in a high regard. Not because you're passionate about it. ➡️ You overwork yourself to seek praise from your boss ➡️ You agree with everyone to be liked and considered a "good & nice" person ⭐ Ultimately, relying on external validations to define your self worth. ✅ If you resonate with this, you are not alone. Seeking praise can become a cycle easily. You may not even notice at first. Send me a DM if you'd like to start relying on yourself vs giving control to others. ----------------------------------------------------------------- #impostersyndrome #recoveringperfectionist #impostersyndromeisreal #socialanxietydisorder #socialanxietymemes #momlife #womenempowerement #bosswomenmindset #singlegirls #singlewomen #callherdaddy #selfhelpbook #selfhelpquotes #babyfoodrecipe #selfhelppodcast #confidenceiskey🔑 #confidencebuilding #selfconfidencequotes #peoplepleasers #insecurities #externalvalidation #plantlovercommunity #jayshettymeditation #brenébrown #callherdaddy #affirmationpositive #selfworthquotes (at Kitchener, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFVV8Asj-r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Recently, I’ve had some enquiries about my copywriting business. Exciting right? Well, can someone please tell my brain this! This whole working for myself malarkey still feels very new to me, even though I’ve been doing it for a good few months now. So why did I have a full-on meltdown when I recently got a serious enquiry about my services? I’ve written about imposter syndrome before and…

Can you overcome #impostersyndrome? Yes, you can! 😍 You can use #selfhypnosis to achieve your goals, boost motivation and build confidence. Discover how.

IMPOSTER SYNDROME is the feeling that you’re a fake, a fraud, or inadequate despite your qualifications or past experiences. It’s something that so many of us deal with, and it freaking SUCKS!!!! Actually, it more than sucks. It’s this terrible monologue that we allow to play in our heads which leads to self doubt, feeling unworthy, which results in self sabotage. . But just because you FEEL like an imposter, doesn’t mean you ARE an imposter... . Because imposter syndrome happens at every single level regardless how old, young, experienced, or beginner you are, I wanted to share with you a couple of things that help me when I feel that imposter syndrome is whispering a bit too loudly in my ear: . 1️⃣RECOGNIZE and acknowledge the feelings of imposter syndrome, but don’t judge yourself for them. Becoming aware of what’s happening is an important first step, but no need to make yourself feel even worse for having them. . 2️⃣TALK IT OUT. Call a friend, talk to your partner, DM your insta mate. So often we allow negative thoughts to stew in our brains and become bigger than what they actually are. I find that talking things out really helps to shed light on the fact that these thoughts aren’t based in logic. . 3️⃣MAKE A LIST of the things you’re proud of, both big and small. Give yourself some credit, pat yourself on the back, and for God’s sake, blow your own trumpet! . 4️⃣TAKE ACTION! Yeah, this one is scary, I know. But as I like to say: feel the fear and do it anyway. Rather than asking yourself “who am I to do this?!” flip the question and ask yourself… who am I NOT to do this?! Period😤. . Is imposter syndrome something you experience? .

It’s World Meditation Day. I meditate every day. I’m studying to become a meditation teacher. Slowly and surely. (shout out to my coach, and gratitude for your patience @iamlaurenhowe aurenhowe) I feel like I’m living in a meditation right now. I’ve been grounding into my world. Noticing what’s surrounding me. Up until recently I’ve been allowing things to envelope me that haven’t served. There’s been overwhelm, and confusion. My meditation stills that. Every day as I notice my thoughts I am detaching from them and observing their battle. Without judgement. Each day is new, each day I shed a little more. It’s not all stillness. Far from it. There’s moments though. Moments of peace, clarity and calm. Im allowing them to rise, shedding what’s not serving me. Letting go. Stay tuned to see what’s shifting.

The first lines of "Daisies" by Katy Perry is how I feel about telling people I'm a writer. It doesn't matter that I've typed "THE END" on 4 novels (that I haven't had the guts yet to revise and publish), that I spend every waking moment thinking about books and writing and making it my career, or how many books, podcasts, and articles on the craft I've consumed when I'm not actively writing, planning, or revising my own work. I too often feel like an imposter, and I worry that others will think I am, too. I have this (entirely wrong) notion that others won't see me as a writer or take me seriously unless I have been published by a big 6 traditional publishing house or have my name appear on the NYT Bestsellers list. And that fear has held me back from querying agents and putting myself out there. Well, I'm done. I'm ready. I'm finally revising the novel that I've known for years would be my debut. So, as Katy Perry said, "They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me till they cover me in daisies..." And I onclude myself in "they." So, maybe I also have a slight Gollum complex, eh Precious? 😉 . . #impostersyndrome #impostersyndromeisreal #writerslife #writerscommunity #amwriting #daisies #katyperry #writingcommunity #dontstopwontstop #keepgoing #dreambig #dreambigworkhard https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFPgCYjAcT/?igshid=s1b0u6kcwjq7

Do you ever feel it was pure luck behind your success or that you are not good enough? You could have #impostersyndrome 🙁 Swipe to find out 👈 . Follow @gradsiren for more #job and #career related advice. 😃  

Read my Lips: You are MORE than enough.💗 It is said that one of the fears that affect almost everyone at one point or another is the fear of not being enough. The most interesting thing about this is that most of us can not pin point the exact cause of our anxiety. It’s not so obvious when your stress levels hold you back from doing the things you really want to do. It’s not clear why something inside you just doesn’t feel like you belong. I know all about that feeling because I lived in it for most of my self-conscious life. It’s the feeling of not being enough. Not good enough. Not pretty enough. Not smart enough. Not perfect enough. You get the drill. In part, I attribute that to watching my mother be the most AMAZING woman in the world! Being raised to be like her: super friendly, attentive, with her extra clean home and excellent cooking, caring for my dad’s every need while also caring for my sisters and I. By the time us kids woke up she had already mopped the entire house, cleaned the bathrooms and was cooking up something yummy. HOW did she do it??? Can’t tell ya! Alls I know is that watching her be perfect (in my eyes) made me feel less than, to an extent. And that’s how it happens. I’m sure my mom had her struggles and doubts just like all of us, but all I saw was her greatness. And deep down inside, I feared I could never be like her. What I know now, is that I was never meant to be like her. I was meant to be ME. I was made to carve my own path and find my own way. Who better to do the job than me, then? I am more than good enough! Watch your imposter syndrome, your self doubt, your motives for holding back. Is it a fear of not being enough? Counter that fear with this simple sentence. Remember this sticker and let it tell you the truth when you need it.💕 Sending love to you all and especially to my mom! 💗 . . . . #youareenoughmovement #impostersyndrome #impostersyndromeisreal #imnotperfect #motherhood #momproblems #momlife #beingamom #beingamommy #selfdoubtsucks #youareimportant #fearnot #whosaid #momtobe2020 #mommyproblems #ｑｏｔｄ #pinklipstick #letmetellyousomething #popartstyle #youareenough #youneedtoknow #ladiwithababy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ikDfZjz0W/?igshid=b02e1pep8w9d
