About this listen
Hahaha! Aren't they all fools? They think that I'm the most qualified candidate for this task. I have six years of experience doing this exact task. I've done it before. I can do it again with ease.... But what if I fail?
Why are these statements familiar? The imposter syndrome is a bummer. The subconscious brain loves playing tricks on us, and catastrophizing is the meanest of all. The imposter syndrome will have you believe that you're a fraud, a nowhere cog in an engine. You'll find an attractive person; you'll stride toward them, one foot at a time, and you'll chicken out from the approach because you're not "yet" ready. Then it might hit you...maybe you should just do nothing and wait for the perfect time or person to make your move. You haven't mastered that pickup line. You aren't wearing your favorite pants, and they’re not your type.

Self-esteem is one of the most important aspects of your life. Your success in life, in relationships, and your happiness depends on your self-esteem. If you have low self-esteem, you may find that you have more struggles in life than those who do not lack self-esteem. Do you think that it is impossible for you to think better of yourself? Do you often wish to be someone else? Do you believe that you are not worth it? Has your life, your job, and your relationships all suffered because of your low self-esteem? Do you feel trapped by the pain inside of you?
