Impostor Syndrome
Every time I swear to myself that I will begin to post on a regular basis, that little voice gets louder and louder. “Who do you think you are to share your thoughts in this manner?” “Why would anyone want to read what you have written?” As most of you know, this is not helpful at all. This time I’m going to “power-through” and write all month long as part of Effy Wild’s Artfully Wild Blog Along. A group of us are participating and it’s a really great way to shake the dust off and get introduced some really talented people who are sharing their gifts with the world.
As uncertain as I feel about blogging, I do know that I am on this planet at this time to help others. I’m going to focus on the belief that I can help at least one person a day with my writing and sharing and let go of the rest of the bullshit stories that play on repeat in my head. More and more amazing women and men in my circles are stepping up and showing up right now. I won’t always be completely confident, but I do want to be someone who shows up consistently and models how to face fears and discomfort in the name of growth and community. I am committing to showing up as perfectly imperfect. Join me?
