Where Imposter Syndrome comes from (and how to defeat it)
"I can't do it. I'm not good enough." For months I didn't make any money online in my business. I HATED my life. That crushing doubt makes you second-guess every little choice... I feel it too — I was once stuck in imposter syndrome. Whether you believe you can or you can't... You're right. You either show up with actions... or excuses... You choose not to grow because it's uncomfortable. Even overwhelming. Maybe you don't know you can make it. Or you feel like you're stuck. Or you believe you don't deserve any better... Your "self-image" is your biggest self-imposed limitation... Self-image refers to your unconscious interpretation of yourself (the identity you give yourself). I used to limit myself by: ► Never posting online for fear of judgement ► Never approaching new people for fear of rejection ► Never starting a business because I didn't think I was smart enough Then I realised that I was doing those things because of MY perception, not reality. It's not that those things were unacceptable - it's that I wouldn't accept myself. Once I improved my self-image I: ► Found a whole new group of friends and learned how to dance ► Posted 50+ articles and 1000s of social media posts online ► Made £1000s online despite being doubtful I'd make it I couldn't have done it without focusing on what's inside, instead of everything that's outside. From feeling hopeless... to feeling like the future is already mine. This is the real transformation - not making a bit of internet money... ════❖════════❖════════❖════ How to improve self-image: Become aware first of what yours is. Meditate on reflective questions. Learn how to control your nervous system and relax your body. Go deep into your psyche and find the core beliefs driving low: A) Self-confidence (knowing you can do the thing) B) Self-esteem (feeling like you can do the thing) C) Self-worth (feeling like you deserve the thing) Create positive referential experiences and face your fears (grow).
