What You'll Uncover:

What is Imposter Syndrome?

Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon that causes people to doubt their abilities and feel like a fraud despite evidence of their competence and accomplishments.

This condition is particularly prevalent among people endeavoring on something for the first time, especially entrepreneurs and spiritual business owners committed to making a difference in the world in their own special way.

Common symptoms of imposter syndrome include:

• Feeling like a fraud - as if you make sh*t up when you probably don't/
• Questioning your abilities and skills - when you're probably pretty good at whatever you do.
• Second-guessing the wisdom you've been asked to bring to the earth - when the truth is, you came here for a reason.
• Feeling like you don't belong or fit in - when there's a community willing to support you if you just knew how to find it.
• Comparing yourself to others and feeling inferior - when you are not inferior, just at a specific place along your journey or path.
• Fear of failure or success - when you need both to learn and be your absolute best.

Causes of the Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome can have many causes, including:

• Perfectionism: High expectations and unattainable standards.
• Past Trauma: Negative experiences from your past, past lives, or ancestral trauma.
• Rejection: Feeling rejected for the beliefs you hold and the wisdom you retain.
• Family Dynamics: Upbringing and family dynamics that make you feel you're not good enough or worthy of success because you operate outside the 3rd Dimensional paradigm.
• Lack of Support: A lack of supportive people or resources can lead to isolation.

Fortunately, imposter syndrome is not a permanent condition, and there are several strategies you can use to overcome it and boost your confidence.

How to Heal Imposter Syndrome

1. Acknowledge your achievements and successes.

Take a moment to think about your achievements, even if they don't fit the typical 3D standards. Remember that your efforts to create a better world require skills and talents that many people may not comprehend. Whatever your accomplishments, even if they are small or unconventional, take pride in them because they signify your contribution to a world in great need of healing.

2. Niche Down

Focusing on a niche may seem like a bad idea for those eager to help in any way possible, but it forces you to excel at a few specific things. This helps improve your skills, earns recognition in that specific niche, and shows off your potential as a leader. If you're struggling to choose a focus, crafting an offer designed to sell.

3. Create your "Thing"

Your "Thing" is something that reflects both you and your work. It's an essential aspect of your brand and signifies what you believe in. For a long time, my "Thing" was the Self-Worth Accelerator, A group coaching program for women healing from narcissistic abuse. But since my business expanded, my "Thing" is The Make More Money Mentoship where I help healers, coaches, counsleors create valuable offers designed to sell. Creating a "thing" is like giving birth to a child. When you bare, nurture and grow it, it shows how powerful you really are. And - if done correctly- how you are absolutely NOT and imposter.

Conclusion

We need more healers and spiritual business owners to own their power and help raise the consciousness of the planet. By acknowledging your accomplishments, niching down to become a recognized authority in your field, and creating your "Thing," you can heal from imposter syndrome and continue to grow your income and impact.
