From ‘Imposter’ to ‘Being the Light’

Recraft a more compassionate, more empowering relationship with yourself.

You have a dream to be heard, to lead, to be on the global stage, to be seen there. And yet you won’t, because you haven’t even seriously given it a thought, you haven’t bet on yourself because you are reluctant to believe in yourself.

It’s hard being you.

You’ve been taught not to blow your own trumpet and somewhere along the way you’ve got into the habit of downplaying your success. You can barely accept a compliment without feeling the need to repay it — that should tell you just how uncomfortable you are being you. 

How do you think that distorted sense of self-worth shows up in the external world? Impostor syndrome that’s how — when you’re in the habit of not recognising your true worth, your successes, how do you think you will communicate it to your clients, customers, to future clients, to high value clients, to your potential employers? How do you think you will be around people who are more successful than you?

You’ve always been a high performer, always used to being successful. From school perhaps. How do you deal with setbacks and when things don’t go your way? Do you overthink, do you keep obsessing about how it should have been and it keeps you up at night; do you waste valuable energy ruminating on what went wrong — instead of what you can be doing to prevent it in the future. That’s another habit that peak performers do not have.

The root cause of perfectionism is fear of failure and many perfectionists and high performers actually don’t stretch themselves, they play far below their potential, because they don’t have the mental strength and stamina to deal with failure. They have never failed and they don’t like the idea of failure.

And how many times have you been told that you are too good for your own good — people emotionally take advantage of you, you’re such a giver, you’ll part with your time, your money, your business may even have suffered because of this lack of balance. You are the person who tends to overlook other people’s habitual misbehaviour and irresponsibilities, you put up with their drama even at the cost of your financial health, your emotional health. 

Did you know that psychologists have found that this tendency to be a people pleaser is not a virtue – it’s low self esteem; back to your own conditioned view of yourself — that you are not worthy of better, of more.  

Wouldn’t it be great to break through these shackles that hold you back, and really allow yourself to thrive, to flourish. These are your deep rooted paradigms — and I want you to notice them, without judgement please. These are the opinions that you hold of yourself deep in your sub-conscious mind but you deserve better.

The thing is, as long as these opinions of yourself are parked in your sub-conscious mind, no matter how successful you appear on the outside, these are the limits to your success that you will experience— and I’m betting you had no idea that this was going on, right.  

I am giving you this guide. These are habits that peak performers have. I am going to encourage you to inculcate these new habits. Replace the old paradigm that has you playing small, feeling small with these new peak performance habits. They will help you break through to the next few levels of success, to enjoy the success, happiness and freedom that you deserve.

And in case you feel like you might be needing any support around this, you know who to contact, we are here, we are an entire community of high performers training ourselves for peak performance.

We’d be very happy to connect with you.
