Owning Your Power

Limiting beliefs and their resulting self-doubt most often indicate Imposter Syndrome, a pervasive internalized feeling that one is not skilled enough for the work they are doing or aspire to do. This results in one feeling that they don't belong competency-wise in their workplaces, in their roles as caregivers, and in many other aspects of their lives. Ironically, this self-devaluation is more commonly experienced by high achievers, and it flourishes in fields that require specialized training. Although most people have experienced this phenomenon in at least one aspect of their lives, they do not talk about it, as it involves a fear of being exposed as a fraud.

This self-doubt is very addressable, and by learning more about Imposter Syndrome and by implementing certain practicable techniques, one can more objectively and accurately assess themselves, step confidently into their true value, and bring their best selves to their lives with comfort and authenticity.
