Silencing Imposter Syndrome: Speak the Truth, Reclaim Your Confidence

inspiration

IMPOSTER SYNDROME was on the mind as it was a topic in a Mastermind call earlier this week. Not sure thereā€™s anyone on the planet that hasnā€™t succumb to imposter syndrome at least once - growing up, it was definitely something I struggled with.

However, recently I realized TWO things:

  1. Imposter Syndrome is based solely on your perception but also itā€™s controlled by your feelings.  Feelings of not being _______________. Feelings of others seeing you as ___________. It has nothing to do with FACTS. Those thoughts are not the truth.
  2. When those negative thoughts creep up in your pretty brain, be AWARE of them and then SPEAK the truth. Itā€™s hard to argue with facts. And itā€™s something the Gillies and I work on if they mutter these negative thoughts.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH

Iā€™ve prepared a list for you just in case you need (SAVE FOR LATER):

  • I am weak. STOP, speak the truth:
    • For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13) 
  • I am not enough. STOP, speak the truth:
    • I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)
  • I canā€™t do this, I will fail. STOP, speak the truth:
    • For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)
  • I am anxious. STOP, speak the truth:
    • Because of my faith in God, I do not fret or have anxiety about anything. (Philippians 4:6)

The last one is one I have on repeat in my head - worrying or being anxious about things.  And as my great grandma once told me, worrying just allows me to suffer twice.

WHO WANTS THAT?!?

When the negative chatter speaks, silence it with the truth.

Are you truly weak, is this something you canā€™t handle? Heck, no. You have tackled every obstacle placed in front of you today and became stronger for it.

Who are you to do this? I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am more than capable to handle this and will do so to the best of my ability.

 

SPEAK THE TRUTH - silence the chatterbox. Just my thoughts for today.

You got this.  We got this.āœŒļø

 

Grit + Gumption.
