"Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"
It was a good reminder. I'd forgotten how alive music made me feel and how many times I cried over a sentimental song and when it was over, I felt so healed.
It's been a long time since I was in touch with that side of myself.
HELLO BEAUTIFUL, WELCOME BACK!
I never realized there was a "term" for what I was feeling, but thanks to the Internet, I had a light bulb moment a few years ago. IMPOSTER SYNDROME! Who knew I was suffering from that? Who knew that other people felt the same?
It was such a relief to realize I wasn't an imposter. I was brilliant and deserving and here's a secret, SO ARE YOU!
I no longer doubt myself (well not always) and I believe I can do anything if I really want to! I live by the motto "Feel Fear AND DO IT ANYWAY!". So many things I wouldn't have if not for that -- like the job that I love during the day and teaching at night. I didn't think I was qualified for either and guess what? I am!
There was a great course (Overcoming Imposter Syndrome) that I took on Insight Timer a few years ago. It was life-changing for me!
