Who Do I Think I Am?
Let's get it out there.
Imposter Syndrome, maybe it's a term you've heard of or maybe you haven't.
But I can promise that you have more than likely felt this feeling at some point in your life.
Have you ever wanted to apply for a job and thought
"I can't do that! I'm not qualified enough"
Well that's imposter syndrome, it's this feeling that we are trying to be someone we're not.
I'm feeling it right now!
Tonight, live on Instagram, I am going to be my first EFT video around the topic of money.
I can already feel myself wanted to find excuses to not do it:
It's not ready
I haven't practiced it
I don't know much about EFT
I'm not trained in EFT
What if someone actually jumps on live?!
I'm finding all these reasons because I feel like an imposter! Who am I to run a live on EFT Tappings when I am not a trained practitioner in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
I look at the one I have created and it doesn't feel as good as the ones I do for my own growth on YouTube.
I've felt this way before
But here's the thing, this is not the first time this feeling has come up!
At many stages of my life I have felt this way and I have doubted my abilities.
Alongside my day job I am building a 'Mindset coaching business' and every day I doubt myself and my abilities to be someone's coach.
Who am I to charge people money, who am I to tell them how to better their lives, who am I to call myself a coach?
All of these doubts whizz around my head most days and it can sometimes feel paralysing.
But here's the thing!
It will always remain paralysing if I never take action to mitigate it.
If I continue to take no action to counteract that feeling, the feeling will only get stronger.
My lack of inaction would become 'proof' or 'evidence' to back up these feelings and doubts.
That means it is up to me to choose different!
I must decide that this feeling is only true if I allow it to be. Maybe, I won't always be qualified right there and then, but I can take action to change that.
Here's my plan.....
I will be going live tonight! I will make mistakes, there will be some hiccups along the way, I am bound to stumble over my words but I will also:
Celebrate the fact that I showed up despite all of that
I will learn lessons on ways to improve for next week's live EFT
I will grow in confidence because I showed up
I will potentially get feedback which I can use to better my future lives
Here's what I want you to do! Look at what you've been holding yourself back from and ask yourself why.
Is it because you too are feeling like an imposter?
If yes, take this journal prompts and see what answers you get:
What action do I want to take?
Why do I feel like an imposter?
What do I feel I need to have before I can take the action with confidence?
What action can I take this week to support that?
Who can I go to for support?
Don't let your own self doubt stop you from going after what you want because you deserve the absolute best out of life. Imposter syndrome is just a voice and that voice needs drowning out.
