Do you feel like an imposter? Do you ever worry that you’re a fraud and that some day you’ll be found out? Or that you don’t belong?

Imposter syndrome is real and often affects people who are viewed by the outside world as high achieving. Feeling like an imposter is about your own insecurities and it does reflect how capable you are.

The question you should be asking yourself isn’t do I deserve to be here? It’s why do I doubt myself so much?

When you notice your thoughts going down that road, catch them and remind yourself that you are as worthy as the next person and you belong exactly where you are!

Do you find yourself thinking I’ll be happy when…. I lose some weight, meet someone, get the promotion etc.?

Are you always searching for that one thing that will give you happiness?

The reality is that we might think that certain things will bring us happiness but we don’t know how we will feel in the future. The idea of a “happy life” doesn’t exist. Our emotions are designed to fluctuate and happiness is a temporary state.

Stop postponing your happiness. Opportunities for moments of happiness exist in the here and now. You just have to look for them and grab hold of them when you can.

Do your fears get in the way of living your life? Do you find your world becoming increasingly small?

There’s so much uncertainty in the world lately and our brains don’t tend to ignore threats. A natural response to an uncertain world or future is to try to limit risk.

The problem with this is that not living your life also comes with risks. The risk that you will miss experiences and adventures that would have enriched your life. That you will overlook relationships or opportunities that you will regret.

Everything in life carries a degree of risk and you have to decide what feels right for you. Just remember it’s just as important to balance the price of not doing something as well as the potential risk of taking action.

The world can been a pretty scary place sometimes - and recently a lot of us have struggled.

Even when the clouds are thick and grey, there is always a blue sky waiting to break through. If you have lost hope, remember happy times are always around the corner. Don’t let fear convince you otherwise! You’ve got this!

Do you tend to look to others for comfort or reassurance when you are distressed?

If you do, this is completely normal and healthy. However, if you find that the only way you feel comforted or reassured is in response to someone else- you might find this leads to problems.

Depending on someone is healthy. However, if you become over-reliant on others you might find that you really struggle when they are unavailable. It can also make you feel deskilled or ill equipped to deal with life and you might start to lose sight of your strengths and qualities.

Be your own hero. You are almost certainly stronger, more resourceful and more capable than you give yourself credit for!

Strength comes in many forms, no matter how small it may seem.

Getting up and getting out of bed when you are depressed takes strength. Picking up your phone to take a call when you are feeling isolated takes strength. Getting out when you are feeling scared or insecure takes strength. Saying no when you desperately want to please takes strength. Dusting yourself off when things don’t go to plan takes strength.

Try one small act of strength today - even if you aren’t feeling up to it. See how it feels.

Not every day is going to be a great day!

When we set unrealistic expectations, we can become deflated when things don’t work out how we planned. We can start to worry that one bad day is a sign of more to come. This can lead to a spiral of negative thoughts and emotions that can end up in a self-fulfilling prophecy.

We all have good days and bad days -you just need to get through the bad ones. Just remember there’s always a good day around the corner! 💕

Have you ever noticed that when you are anxious or stressed you tend to either hold our breath or speed up your breathing?

This is a natural stress response. When this happens it sends signals to our brain that can trigger a state of threat.

Simple changes to your breath can send messages to your brain that everything is OK.

Why hold on to the bu****it?

Do you ever find yourself fixating on small details and missing the bigger picture?

Sometimes it’s best just to let go of the bu****it and breathe in the good s**t. We only have a certain amount of time and energy and so we may as well focus on the things that are meaningful to us.

When we feel low we can feel less than. We might beat ourselves up, put unecessary pressure on ourselves or compare ourselves to others. Our self-esteem can be knocked when we feel as though we are constantly falling short.

Notice when you are being self-critical. Step back and tell yourself that YOU ARE ENOUGH and try and act in accordance to this. Practice self kindness, treat yourself like you treat those you care about.❤️

Because you are worthy of being seen!

The legacy of not being seen can leave deep wounds. It can make you feel like you are not worthy of attention and that your needs and wants are not as important as others. You can spend your life taking a backseat role, feeling like you are on the periphery. It can also lead you to diminish your worth in favour of securing relationships that are not worthy of you.

If this resonates, you need to know that the reason you were not seen was nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.

You deserve love and attention -without feeling as though you need to earn it!

Do you find yourself wanting to escape more than usual? Daydreaming? Drinking more than usual? Staying away from family or friends?

We all need to escape from time to time and let’s be honest, it’s been a difficult couple of years. However, if you find that you are wanting to escape more often than usual -it might be a sign that you are struggling emotionally. Over time, this can impact on your mental health.

If you are concerned you might be over-relying on escape as a way of coping- here are some questions you might ask yourself:

Am I avoiding dealing with important or serious issues in my life?

Am I actually getting pleasure or enjoyment from what I am doing or is this more of a distraction?

Do I feel I have a good balance between being proactive and switching out?

If it was a close friend or family member behaving this way -what would I think and feel?

If you feel that you are avoiding, remember your problems won’t go away.

Here’s what you can do:

Try to make a plan to address the things that might be causing you stress. Focus on the things within your control and start to work on them. Facing up to problems is an act of self-care and your future self will thank you!

Practice being more mindful. Pick an activity or something you do already in your daily routine and try to do it more mindfullly. Try to be as present and aware as you can -it doesn’t have to be for long. A couple of minutes each day. Keep practicing until it becomes something you do naturally.

Remember to reach out- everything seems to feel bigger and more overwhelming when you try to cope alone. ❤️
