Social Media might be turning up the heat on Imposter Syndrome.
Why?
Because we see people's lives in an idealized way. Most of us post the awesome, beautiful moments in our lives, not the ugly, dirty ones!
I get it. I don't want to get on social media and see all the ugly parts of a person's life. I like social media to reflect the best of us.
The problem isn't social media. The answer isn't to post depressing, angry messages to be "authentic."
The problem is that our minds look at all those posts from "friends" and celebrities and tells us that we should have a life like that. We are triggered into compare and despair. 😩
Imposter Syndrome affects 70% of men and women. It's that feeling that you are a complete fraud and that everyone is going to find out that you didn’t deserve your accomplishments?
I definitely struggled with Imposter Syndrome for years. As a coach, it's one of my favorite things to help clients transform into a grounded sense of confidence in their abilities and accomplishments.
It's an inside job to be sure. This is about all the voices in your head. It can be compounded by a negative review at work, problems with your boss, or in your business, but it often does not have external indicators. It's the story in your head.
That's okay. The good news is, you have the power to transform those thoughts. I help people do it all the time. You just need some tools!
I created a three-video series to help you go from feeling like an imposter to KNOWING you're a badass! Here's video three, you can access all three on the Imposter Syndrome playlist I have on YouTube.
