Everyone wants to live happily and successfully in this world. Salute, if you are one of the people who won it. But if after going through various pebbles and obstacles to reach them you actually feel like a loser who doesn't deserve success, you might have imposter syndrome.
A study shows that around 70 percent of people will experience this syndrome at least once in their lifetime. This psychological phenomenon is especially more experienced by career women who have gained success.
So, what can be done to fight these negative feelings - especially when you really deserve to enjoy the fruits of success that you plant yourself?
Tips to outsmart yourself to get rid of the feeling of inappropriate success
1. Get to know your feelings
For you to finally be able to sincerely embrace the success of your hard work so far, you need to first understand your emotions and feelings. Once you start to get anxious, insecure, frustrated, or even feel depressed when you feel you have failed to meet the standards you set yourself, stop for a moment to reflect and think.
Various kinds of negative emotions are classic signs of impostor syndrome. When you have detected it, you will know what steps you should take next to begin to overcome the crisis.
2. Tell trusted people
Try to confide in friends, family, or even consult experts on what you feel. By getting input and advice from a new perspective, you will be forced to reflect on yourself.
Besides that, by venturing you can find out that you are not the only one experiencing this condition. Realizing that there are others who have also "agreed" with you can make you feel more spacious.
3. Stop comparing your achievements with others
Comparing yourself to others can backfire for yourself. By comparing yourself to someone you feel is more than you, you will feel worse and feel inappropriate for success. You might also consider these people to get success easily.
Remember, very successful people also used to be in a low position. To be able to become individuals like now, they dare to admit mistakes (which only they know) and learn and work hard to improve themselves.
Learning to appreciate your own strengths and potential makes you immediately realize that you have many things you can do.
4. Don't be too fixated on high standards
You must learn not to be too fixated on high standards or perfect standards for yourself. Realize that everyone does not need to be perfect and has their own strengths and weaknesses.
5. Pursue your goals without stopping regardless of what you feel
The best way to overcome the inappropriate feeling of success is to continue to take action, regardless of how you feel. If you dare to take risks and face all your fears, then you can do anything.
It takes a lot of courage to pursue challenges even when you are in doubt. After all, you never really know how much you can achieve if you don't try it.
You succeed because you do something different, something extra, something you believe in, something that no one else does, and someone else has never tried.
