How I overcame imposter syndrome and the steps I took that can help you.
If you feel you are holding yourself back, listen up. It starts with recognizing it in yourself and others. Imposter syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success. ‘Imposters’ suffer from chronic self-doubt and a sense of intellectual fraudulence that override any feelings of success or external proof of their competence.

Gratitude
So many people spend their entire life searching for money That search for money and possessions makes them less aware of all the wonderful things they have around them. It's amazing how many people lose sight of who they are and what they are trying to achieve, either through a lack of personal or professional purpose.

PRAISE
For a long time, I struggled with receiving Praise. In fact, I used to brush it away and not acknowledge it. Interestingly, I have always been a fan of constructive feedback - it’s how we improve - but when it came to praise, I struggled.
