Recently came across a few cases wherein the person had a feeling of Impostor Syndrome. It is a psychological experience in which a person suffers from feelings of intellectual and/or professional fraudulence.
If someone has a feeling like an impostor, it means that he/she have some degree of success in life that he/she are attributing to luck. Try instead to turn that feeling into one of gratitude.
Don't be held back by fear of being found out. Instead, lean into that feeling and get to its roots. Let your guard down and allow others to see the real you. If you've done all these things and still feel like an impostor, which is holding you back, reach to a professional psychotherapist seek help & learn how to overcome these feelings.

Let’s Understand a Few Points About Psychologically Safe Education Settings
• Establishing clear norms: To create classroom/school norms around respect, questioning, safe dialogue. Students feel comfortable raising questions, making mistakes, and learning from them.
• Encouraging error-friendly culture: Mistakes are treated as part of learning, not as failure. Educators model vulnerability (“I don’t know that yet, let’s figure it out”) and encourage collaborative learning.
• Ensure inclusive participation: Actively engage quieter students, diverse learners (such as differently abled students, students with some specific psychological issues) and make sure they gain self-confidence and their voices are heard. Peer discussion and challenge are respectful, and diverse viewpoints are valued. Feedback is constructive, supportive, seeking growth for all.
• Power dynamics: teacher-student relationships often carry more authority imbalance than many workplaces, so deliberate efforts are needed to shift culture. Staff (faculties/teachers/trainers) also feel safe to propose changes, innovate, admit uncertainty
• Assessment culture: frequent testing and fear of failure may undermine safety; need to dissociate mistakes from shame and link them to growth.
• Openness and willingness to reach out for psychological support to a counsellor/psychotherapist for any emotional or mental disturbances. It can be for one and all, be it faculties/teachers/trainers or students/learners. Emotional disturbances are as similar as any other physical ailments that needs immediate attention and treatment.

It is advisable to Balance Work and Leisure Time. As often I have observed that people who make time for relaxation and hobbies alongside work and responsibilities & create a balanced schedule are able to prevent burnout and promote a healthier mindset.
Also, it is advisable to Avoid Perfectionism. Accept that it's okay to make mistakes. Perfectionism often causes unnecessary stress and dissatisfaction. Emotional well-being is of utmost importance for each one of us.

My Observations - Adversity Quotient (AQ) and Mental Health
Lower AQ and Mental Health: I have observed that individuals with low AQ are more prone to stress, anxiety, and depression because they may feel helpless and overwhelmed by difficulties. They tend to hesitate and avoid seeking timely help for their difficulties.
Higher AQ and Mental Well-Being: Whereas an individual with a high AQ can protect against mental health struggles by promoting positive coping mechanisms and reducing feelings of helplessness and despair. He/she is more open to seeking help and find ways to overcome the difficulties and bounce back as quickly as possible.
AQ as a Predictor of Success
Research suggests that a high AQ is a strong predictor of success, both in personal life and in the workplace. People with higher AQ are more likely to persist in the face of obstacles, which often leads to greater achievements in the long run. _______________________________________
In summary, Adversity Quotient (AQ) is a critical factor in how we respond to challenges. By focusing on enhancing AQ through resilience-building strategies, improving our mindset, and cultivating a solution-oriented approach, we can handle life’s difficulties more effectively and thrive in the face of adversity.
