Hi Friends,
If you’re new here, welcome to the place where we dream and then take baby steps to wake up to our dreams becoming our reality.
Another late newsletter; I was hoping when you hear the story I’ll buy your sympathy.
Something held me on the way. It held me so tight that I would have confused it for love. But there’s no way imposter syndrome and fear is in love with me.
The Case Against Imposter Syndrome
It’s been three weeks since I started my internship. I finished my first line of task and then the unwanted guest came.
I haven’t been able to do any work since Friday.
Whenever I try to get stuff done, I feel paralyzed.
I feel like I’m not getting things right.
I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing.
I feel like they’ll soon catch me and say, ‘Ah, she’s a fraud, I knew it’.
And guess what? It’s a secret 🤫
I got another job!
My mind has been bugging and spinning around and my prayers have been gentle comebacks for anxiety and doubt.
But I would not stop here! We don’t have any other choice here but to keep moving.
Someone in love with me told me to: ‘Think of work like a game, don’t let it get into your head’. I’ve been trying to do that.
I think with this I can say that my expectations for 2023 have been exceeded by God’s grace alone.
And I can’t wait to see what lies ahead, in this moment. I am filled with gratitude.
It was this community that led me here, thank you so much!
Progress so far 🦄
🦄 My learning progress
Guys, they’ve been absolutely no progress with my courses. It’s all been on hold.
My calendar is after my life, I crawl out of it daily. But not for long, I want to create a time management plan however challenging that has been.
At least last week I was dragged to the gym, and it was amazing! It made me start journaling again.
I also met with my friends at a place we call ‘the cave’. It’s a place to refresh our souls. I loved that.
