Imposter Syndrome started dancing.
Last week, I told the story of staring down a blinking cursor on my âAboutâ page, legs twitching, and heart buzzing as the gremlins in my head muttered to me âGet it right or donât say anything at all.â
Imposter Syndrome had slipped on his dance shoes.
Perfectionism turned up the volume.
Anxiety grabbed the mic.
And I got sucker punched in the gut as my Audacity slipped out the side door.
This weekâs post is for paid subscribers and offers the practical tools Iâve used to call Audacity back.
If youâve ever felt your thighs tighten the moment you try to take up spaceâŠ
If youâve ever felt your knees wobble right before you speak your truthâŠ
If youâve ever wanted to say something bold, only to go quiet in your body firstâ
Then these protocols are for you.
Inside this weekâs post, youâll find a30-second somatic exercise to activate your Audacity and banish Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, and Anxiety to the in-school suspension room.
I use this exercise in any number of situationsâŠbelow are a few examples:
when someone asks you to do something and you need to say NO
when someone peer pressures you to do something you donât want to do
when someone talks over you
when you feel insecure (such as just before giving a speech)
when you feel like someone isnât listening to what you are trying to say
when youâve been repeatedly interrupted
when youâve said NO several times and are still feeling pressure
đż Want support in standing tallerâin your voice, your body, your business?
I work one-on-one with sensitive souls who are ready to unhook from Imposter Syndrome, perfectionism, and anxietyânot by pushing harder, but by returning to the truth in your bones.
