Every time you achieve something in your professional, academic or personal life Do you feel that it was due to luck, and not your skills? Every time you congratulate yourself for a job well done or do you get high marks in an evaluation, do you feel that you do not deserve it? You may suffer from Impostor Syndrome .Although it seems very difficult, you should know that this horrible sensation can be overcome, it only requires a little effort.

How to overcome the Impostor's Syndrome?

To begin, accepts that you have had some role in your successes.

We feel like fraud because we are "unable to internalize our successes." They gave us an opportunity that others did not and, therefore, nothing what we got after that opportunity was really deserved.But the opportunities are obtained by those who are exposed to them .Not everything is "fair", unfortunately, it is not at all.However, you did Something to get to where you are, you made a decision when you could have taken another that would have taken you to a very different place.

A good idea is to keep a file with positive comments about you , that other people have expressed.

Every time someone writes you asking for help, take a screenshot and put it in your fridge.When you feel like a fraud you can see very graphically the people you have helped.Yes, you.We know that it is easy to forget that what you do can be something good and useful for others , so do not hesitate and collect your victories, testimonies, whatever and visit them when you feel that the good things that happen to you are undeserved.

How to overcome the Impostor's Syndrome?

Fully expose yourself.

Part of the twisted arrogance caused by the Impostor's Syndrome is the belief (generally unconscious) that you have superior abilities that most do not have.Perform the following exercise, for 30 minutes, write the most intimate, miserable and crazy things about you, those that you would not tell anyone and that, you will not show.Face what you repress and read it later.You will not eliminate these things from your life, but you know what? It will help you to be more objective with yourself.You are not perfect or a person who does not deserve the good that happens to him.You are you.

Remember: Being wrong does not make you a fraud. The best basketball players fail a lot of the shots that lead to the basket.The best executives and business experts lose money almost daily.The best football teams at some point inevitably lose.The loss is only part of the game that is life and to which you have so bravely joined.Do not glorify failure, but do not let it make you feel that you have stopped being a worthy competitor. Why do we feel we do not deserve be in the game? Why haven't we won it yet? We haven't even tried! One of the most attractive qualities in a person is acceptance.Acceptance of others, but above all acceptance of yourself.We need you to keep trying.You are necessary, believe that you are an impostor or not.
