Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome significantly affects individuals by instilling feelings of inadequacy and negatively impacting their mood and motivation. To combat this, it’s beneficial to create a journal or notes list of personal achievements, skills, and endorsements from others. This practice serves as a reminder of one's abilities and successes, helping to combat the feelings of unworthiness that often accompany imposter syndrome. Recognizing accomplishments, regardless of their scale, reinforces self-awareness and can stir forgotten memories of overcoming challenges.
