✨10 facts about impostor syndrome and self-confidence :
Imposter syndrome is normal and evidence that you are growing and stepping out of your comfort zone.
This syndrome creates a tendency to devalue your assets and achievements, to the point of doubting that you deserve your accomplishments.
The more competent you are, the more you realize that you don't know much, the less competent you are, the more you overestimate your abilities (Dunning-Kruger effect).
Self-confidence is not related to our real abilities to succeed or perform, but to the belief in our ability to succeed or perform.
Self-confidence is a skill, so it is not innate, it is learned!
If you want to get out of the impostor syndrome, it requires changing your way of thinking, your perception of yourself, your beliefs and your way of measuring success.
You are not an imposter as long as you are realistic and transparent about your strengths and weaknesses.
Confidence is created through movement, practice and action.
Change the stories you tell yourself and rewrite your story, this is the best way to break your limiting beliefs.
Legitimacy and credibility are earned through action and commitment, prove yourself, take the feedback!
