End the impostor syndrome

and become lighter

If you accept that you are indeed an impostor, the impostor syndrome ends.

If you feel like an impostor, it's because you chose to believe an illusion.

You chose to believe that:

• You are truly an expert

• You have to have all the answers

• You cannot make mistakes

• Your role, title, or profession demands perfection

How do you hack it?

By letting go of the illusion and embracing reality.

The reality is that:

• You are simply an imperfect and vulnerable human being

• You are not an expert because nobody has absolute knowledge

• You don't have all the answers and you don't need to

• You make a lot of mistakes

• Nobody expects you to be perfect

• You take yourself much more seriously than the rest of the world (and you are not as important as you think)

Make a decision to start relating to yourself and to the world from the reality of your vulnerable imperfection, not from the illusion of “impostorhood”

Make a decision to free yourself from social and professional pressure, from having to pretend to be perfect, and from your insecurities.

Don't be a victim of your role, title, position, university degree, or any other metric.

Just be a human being and feel how light you become.
