There is an industry separation between full-time and side-hustle photographers.
Don't let that impostor syndrome slow you from growing in the photographer you are.
Just because you aren't full time doesn't mean you are less of a photographer than someone working full time in their business.
And don't expect to see the same growth in your business when you're allocating 40+ hours a week to another job, when others aren't doing that.
Burnout creeps up on you. It often doesn't hit all at once, you slowly get to burnout. Accept that you are burnt out and move to a mindset that you can recover from burn out. Having that vulnerability to say that you are burnt out and that you need to change things, is a big first step.
Find your triggers. What is triggering you to feel like an imposter or to feel like you are not doing as well as others? When you see where those places and who those people are, you should adjust yourself away from them.
Find someone who can support you, someone who understands that it's part of the business and can encourage you through that.
Don't just jump back into what you were doing before you were burnt out, but figure out a more sustainable way of attaining what you need to get done.
This could be better time management, or delegating tasks to others, hiring an editor, or planning out your days in a more efficient way.
Start to think of your goals and what you want to accomplish, and tell yourself that you are going to accomplish them.
That positivity and the forward focusing mindset will help you stay on track for your goals.
