This past Weekend has been a blast… But not without it normal rebounds. Doing a live interview where I learned a lot and got to catch up with a friend and colleague, attending my nieces birthday party where I lead them in a painting activity (we painted bird houses), booked halve of the guest list for ARTIST EMOR’S ART SHOP, and did a draft for the Pixar’s Soul contest album cover… and “IT” HIT me like a smothering pillow in the face during a wonderful dream… Imposter syndrome.
Imposter syndrome - “Imposter syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success. 'Imposters' suffer from chronic self-doubt and a sense of intellectual fraudulence that override any feelings of success or external proof of their competence.” - as defined by a quick google search
-the link describes the best series of steps to overcome it, provided by the Harvard Business Resource, but that's my personal stance-

I found that for me personally, it comes down to how I have seen my circumstance and up until just a few years ago, lived in a sense of dread and regret, overthinking, reflecting on what bothers me more than, simply enjoying the act of being… there is a symphony of feelings that happens during those moments… and when the music stops abruptly. all that is left, is the longing for more, like the readjustments walking in from a bright summer day, our eyes crave the light, hence everything goes dark; for a time, and its during that time that we can reflect positively, and take what we have learned and apply those experiences to our futures, changing what seems to be silence… in to a new bases for potentially, hopefully, a symphony of the night.
i’d like to hear how you have over come such thoughts and feelings.
