This Is About Mental Fitness
This picture is me. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!
At this age, I was, amongst other things:
❤️wondrous
❤️pure
❤️brave
❤️joyous
❤️creative
and (guess what?!), so were you!!
I did not have saboteurs, imposters, or inner critics. Neither did you.
As each of us grow and are exposed to judgment and cruelty (due to others’ saboteurs), we develop imposters that hold us back from being our best selves and leaders, various opportunities, relationships, mindsets, etc. in our lives.
Those imposters affect the way we see ourselves as well as others.
🗣You may get nervous before presentations.
🗣You may be hard on yourself when you don’t perform as well as you hoped.
🗣You may get frustrated when your coworker constantly leaves their video off in meetings.
🗣You may have a hard time building meaningful relationships.
🗣You may expect others to live as you do.
🗣You may get impatient waiting for responses.
🗣You may want to give up when you don’t make the sale.
The list goes on…
You may have a life ruled by a hyper-achiever, a stickler, or a controller. There are many saboteurs that each of us possess! You most definitely have a judge, and this judge is known to also judge others.
And, chances are, unfortunately, I have potentially judged you and you have potentially judged me because of the beliefs our imposters have instilled in us since we were young.
We can now recognize the presence of imposters and react positively, allowing for:
…well, THE LIST IS INFINITELY FULL OF POSITIVE POSSIBILITIES!!
I’ll be forever grateful and reap the benefits of the Positive Intelligence program I’ve participated in over the last 6 weeks with Shirzad Chamine as we navigate our imposters.
I’m also eternally grateful for the amazing people in my cohort as we have been vulnerable with each other, lifted each other up, and are learning to embrace and lower the voices of our imposters while at the same time, becoming mentally fit ROCKSTARS. 🤟🤟🤟
And lastly, I’m thrilled to be able to share what I’m learning with others.
And, you know what?!
(Let’s do some positive affirmations together 🙌)
I am grateful for where I’ve been and who I’ve become. I am thankful for life.
WE ARE ALL AMAZING HUMAN BEINGS. WE ARE ALL UNSTOPPABLE! ❤️
