The Importance of Checking In with Yourself

Before entering challenging situations, it's crucial to take a moment to check in with one's own emotional state. This practice allows individuals to manage anxiety and be more present, ultimately reducing the likelihood of imposter syndrome taking over. For example, one co-host shared their experience preparing to speak at a large church where they paused to center themselves on God, helping to alleviate their fears. This brief self-check can make a significant difference in navigating chaotic environments and maintaining composure.
