Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Are You Likely to Feel Imposter Syndrome?

Imposter syndrome hits nearly all of us, at one time or another. High achievers and people who are struggling to juggle several roles at the same time are most likely to feel inadequate and like they’re going to be found out.

The mental self-talk in the low points of life can be brutal:

  • I’m not good enough
  • I don’t know how I got into this predicament or how to get out of it
  • What if people see me for who I really am and reject me

Here’s the truth – people who worry about not being good enough tend to be better than their peers! The mere fact that they care about providing great service or great care or great whatever it is they’re tasked to provide speaks to a person who will go above and beyond to fulfill expectations.

When you’re feeling like an imposter, you’re really over-qualified for what you’re doing, not under-qualified.

The voice inside your head is lying to you – please quit believing what it says when it’s questioning your competence. Talk back to it – seriously! Either out loud if you’re by yourself or inside your head if others are around, tell that voice to take a hike because you have serious, important work to do that you are uniquely suited to do.

And then go do it.
