Taming My Thoughts & Imposter Syndrome

Towards the Sun Day 6

I was given a lifeline recently by a friend whom I haven’t spoken to in years. An opportunity that could get me to a place that aligns with my core values: freedom, independence, and connections. It is something I want deeply. Yet, I find myself again distracting myself as the day approaches.

Why am I self-sabotaging myself? Why do I not trust what I can control but not what is out of my hand?

Perhaps when your mind is occupied with the stress and pressure you put on yourself, you become obsessed with what isn’t flowing in your life. Be it a person or a situation. So you put yourself in that spiral. You focus on what you cannot control instead of what you can.

What if…

It goes well?

You can get everything you wish for?

You have the power to make it happen?

You can do it differently this time?

Reframe it. The future hasn’t happened yet, so stop applying your previous pattern to your future. The only thing you can do is to focus on now. A cluttered mind is your greatest enemy, and you can turn it into your friend.

You are a different person from your past; you can shape your life with the tools and resources you have developed over the past few weeks. So why can’t it be different this time?

Remember, change is the only constant, and miracles happen every day.

Fuck imposter syndrome. Fuck fears. Fuck anxiety. Fuck all the thoughts that held you back. You are more than enough to step into your element and show them what you’ve got.

Claim it, and it is yours!
