In our fast paced and demanding world where the ability to pivot and transition every day is a necessity, how do we move past what Psychologists call "Impostor Syndrome" to conquer the deeper fears of not being enough? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST Impostor Syndrome is a concept that describes individuals who are marked by an inability to realize their accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud." This way of thinking causes us to dismiss our accomplishments and abilities, feeling they may have occurred from luck, circumstance, or having deceived others into thinking we're someone other than our true selves. To some extent, everyone is ingrained with this mental noise that can tell us we're not good enough or don't belong. Our mind often wonders what may happen if people find out we're not as intelligent as they think. These thoughts can be the loudest when pursuing a goal or passion, and the fear of exposing ourselves as a failure can limit exploration and destroy the courage needed to delve into new experiences. To overcome these limiting and destructive thought processes, it's necessary to ask ourselves an important question: How can we move past Impostor Syndrome to develop our power, awareness, and take action in the direction of our true desires? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, we explore this topic and much more with Ella Lucas-Averett, Host of the "On Air With Ella" Podcast. During this interview, she discusses techniques to move past our fears and find greater alignment in our lives. Listen To Episode 127 As Ella Uncovers: Why she felt a calling to spread the message of health and wellness The importance of taking complete accountability in our lives How to start where we are, use what we have, and do what we can Why the path towards success isn't a linear journey How to make sure impostor syndrome doesn't stop us from pursuing the things we desire The power that comes from being authentic Triggers that can amplify impostor syndrome How we can take an emotional inventory and find our authentic voice Ways to turn fear into curiosity How to determine if something isn't in alignment with our true selves How thoughts are manufactured around events, situations, and circumstances The importance of taking complete accountability in our relationships Why taking action won't always be fun and comfortable How we can use visualization to overcome our fears The tools that help us move through impostor syndrome Top 3 Takeaways From Ella In order to take more control over our lives, it's necessary to develop radical accountability with our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We must choose to manufacture powerful thoughts if we are to move past our fears and find greater alignment. There is strength in vulnerability and letting our authentic selves shine through to the world. Trying to project an image of perfection can hold us back from finding our deeper calling.
