Did you ever have thoughts like, why I can’t be smart like her, why I can’t be successful as he is, why I’m I not perfect, why can’t I handle things flawlessly like everybody else. Everyone else is being a responsible and I’m over here struggling consistently. If you can relate to any of these feelings, you might be dealing with Impostor Syndrome. And you may find it’s gotten worse due to social media, where we see what other people’s lives are like, and unintentionally begin comparing ourselves to them.
I’m about to meet my school friend after ages, now we both are settled. Before meeting her, I started thinking and recollecting our good old days. I further thought how she was in school and she will be surprised to see me today so successful. I finally meet her, but I start feeling that she is far better than me today. Even yesterday she was always better than me. Nothing changed and she is so happy for herself, though she is not working still she is so happy about it. And me slogging for hours managing everything I’m still not happy.
My thoughts conquering strategy: I knew that I’m working hard for my commitments which I made for myself and no one asked me for it. I own the responsibility of my situation.
My thoughts conquering strategy: I have been extremely busy with the marriage preparations single handed and I’m proud that I could so much all alone, now it’s time to enjoy the occasion. I know how beautiful this dress is and how beautiful I’m looking I deserve my compliment not others.
I had started a boutique, and that boutique was not making profits but was going through break even. Every person at my place started pestering me to shut it down and sit at home. I had lost my confidence to a level that for ever boutique decisions I started taking approvals from my inmates. I used to wait sometimes for hours if they were busy, in this way I lost prospective clients.
My thoughts conquering strategy: I knew why I started boutique and educated self to scale it. I made myself aware that I’m able to take decisions and hold myself for the consequences. I decided to take charge of self without giving a damn to critics. I realised if don’t stand for something I will stand for anything and everything. I chose to value self!
In a competition I lost to the team who was less educated then I’m. I feel so low and ashamed of myself, I didn’t even know few simple basic things. How can I be so dumb, and how can they be so smart even not being so educated.
My thoughts conquering strategy: I need self-compassion to breathe in me, I know I’m imperfect but I love myself. If I want to go pivot or cause a revolution it starts with me so let’s start working on things which are required in the specified area. Let me gather with the winning team to celebrate together now and start working on my growth in the required area.
I have a meeting with a prestigious client, and I must crack this deal to weigh my achievement kitty. I’m all set but don’t know why I’m losing my confidence and I’m feeling I might lose this client. I need to talk to take this fear out of my head.
My thoughts conquering strategy: My potential is limitless, but I need to design it well to change and grow. I need a co-conspirator to listen to me so that I can empty my feeling of being impostor by expressing. The shoulder can help me get out of it and work on myself to improve.
In my office there is an announcement of promotion, I had been waiting for it eagerly. But to my dishearten someone else got the promotion and the feeling of self-doubt insecurity started kicking in.
My thoughts conquering strategy: I give myself a pep talk. Hello! You are a queen and not meant to be sad. You are doing awesome and I love you for what you are. Nobody can be like you, you are antique and God has stopped producing people like you. Just keep smiling.
I have been extremely occupied at personal and professional front all these days, let me catch up with my friends online and checkout their updates.
I see my colleague went to a trip and posted beautiful pictures of the trip; it looks as if she enjoyed every bit of the trip. And it’s me here still stuck at both ends.
My thoughts conquering strategy: Wow! My colleague went on a trip, let me check out details of the trip from her. So that I can plan my next trip accordingly, I will sort things before hand at my end to make this successful. I never knew this place could be this fun, I must thank her for showing this face of the place.
