I heard the voice of "the Imposter" and I "told it NOT Today!"https://www.beyournumberonecheerleader.com/blog/how-to-triumph-against-the-self-saboteur-within-you
Hi Elpha Ladies,Have you been hearing that voice lately? The one that puts doubt and fear into you?I heard it recently. You see I was due to give a talk this week, which I gave today.Let me take you to earlier in the week............I was overcome out of no-where of thoughts like "You're not ready to give this talk", "You may as well not do it becase you won't do a good job" and "You're not going to represent yourself well".I came very close to pulling out of the talk. I thought before I do that, let me just sense check this with someone else. So I called my Best Friend and told her this was what I was thinking and did she have any advice?Now it's not about what she said, it's actually about my action to sense check the voices with someone-else before letting myself and the event organisers down.Ask me what I thought of my talk? There is a lot of room for improvement!! That being said, I am happy that I went through with it and that I have place from which to improve. Plus I've also practiced and what happens when you practice, you eventually improve and get better!Take Action and Say No "to the Imposter!"Identify 1 thought that holds you back. Write it down and then with a trusted friend or yourself think of all the reasons that this is not true. Say these reasons out-loud, so that you hear them! Put this thought on trial like it is a criminal!*Ekua ends public service broadcast.*Warm Regards,Ekua π
