It’s nearly here, 2020
Yes we have Christmas coming and then the New Year’s festivities....what next? Whilst I’m not a fan of wishing my life away I am a fan of planning, preparing to the best of my ability and then letting go. Why not get a handle on your 2020 by starting with a plan. Create it now and enjoy the holiday season knowing you have your starter kit for 2020 in progress. How effective are your New Year’s Resolutions? ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ or steadfast goals, which do you prefer? Generally ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ are often made on a whim, which fades with the sun somewhere between the 3rd & 10th January as you say to yourself ‘I’ll continue with being resolute, tomorrow, next week or next year.’ Turning your ideas, dreams, wishes or aspirations into specific goals doesn’t come with the same pressures as opting for ‘New Year’s Resolutions’. Goal setting and planning when done in your own time provides you with greater options, space and resources to achieve them.

Because being behind it means it’s an obstacle.
What is Imposter Syndrome? Imposter Syndrome or Imposterism has been around for a while. This is what it’s currently known as but who knows in a few years it might have a new name. Imposter Syndrome generally affects your professional life and is described, as having a persistent feeling of inadequacy despite there being evidence to the contrary. Even though you’ve experienced success in your life, you still have the feeling you’re a fraud, a fake or you’re not good enough and at some point you will be found out and marched off the premises. The interesting thing about Imposterism is that it affects high achievers, people who for all intents and purposes could be most proud of themselves for what they’ve achieved in life, but instead they are mired in self-doubt. I see Imposterism as part of self-development or growing pains, uncomfortable but if you want to go further in life, necessary. The logical mind might tell us the feeling we’re experiencing of feeling like a fraud doesn’t make any sense, but the intense emotive feeling of self-doubt does not lend itself well to logic. If you’re feeling challenged in this area here are a few things to consider: Guilt can be an expensive emotion, often experienced with neither reward nor added value. I’m not talking about the guilt where you have committed a crime in the eyes of the law therefore punitive action is required or the feeling of guilt when you have wilfully and knowingly committed an ethical or moral wrongdoing, let's park those for now and move on.
To the type of guilt defined as; the feeling of responsibility, culpability or remorse that you hold for having committed a perceived wrong; or where you feel you have failed in an obligation, the type of guilt where you self-punish, whatever your preferred choice of self-punishment is. I’ve been responsible (use of the word guilty has been carefully swerved here) of this in the past, I also often hear others talking about how guilty they feel; about something they’ve done, something they feel they should have done or worse, they feel guilty when someone else has deliberately gone out of the way to manipulate them into feeling guilty. I want to challenge your thinking, your feeling of guilt is a choice, things could be different!! Do you want it to be? |
