Imposter Syndrome + the Pandemic

This is little Lee before imposter syndrome was a thing - just a reminder, that we can ALL work through imposter syndrome.

As we continue to live our lives during a global pandemic, I’ve come to realize just how social we are as human beings. The connection to another human being especially now, is essential for our survival, as a wholistic being.

Hello triggers, I sensed you’d pop up and make an appearance while we’re in isolation and social distancing.

I’ve been feeling imposter syndrome as I create The Cloud Membership platform, and tbh for a while.

What the heck? If I’m sharing from my lived experiences, why the heck would it pop up?

These are things that help me move through and overcome imposter syndrome these days.

Human Design

I learned about human design through Vaness Henry 4-5 years ago or so, and implemented this into my life 1.5-2 years ago, and wow I feel so much more myself these days.

I’m an emotional projector, and as a projector, there’s this narrative that we LOVE naps (I mean I love my naps, so whateva!) however, I’m here for another narrative about projectors. We’re here to guide and wait for invitations to guide and offer support to those who need it. I use my strategy and authority to support me in making decisions, as I feel it out to ensure it feels light in my body.

Leaning into the triggers and shadow work

When I feel those triggers come up as I write content to share, I feel sensations in my body such as anxiety, fear, and an overall heaviness. BLAH!

When these come up, I take a mini break to smudge and ask what’s underneathe that needs to be held. At times, those feelings in my body just need to be heard and seen, and then those sensations dissipate. Phew bye felicia!

Saving nice things said by those I trust

I will save compliments that others have shared with me on my phone, in my notes or photo sections. These reminders are encouraging to read/look at when I’m stuck in a fear-based thought loop as it can often pull me out of it.

These nice things are gifts, as it’s often someone I admire and trust sharing the gifts and strengths that they see in me, and for that I am grateful.

You do you boo boo.
