Imposter syndrome
How to Become the Best Version of Yourself Understanding the difference between authentic confidence and impostor syndrome or false confidence is essential. Authentic confidence stems from the ability to acknowledge and feel emotions, express needs and wants, and remain true to one’s values. It involves facing adversity, dishonesty, manipulation, and uncontrollable external factors in a reflective manner. One continually strives for self-improvement without allowing relationships to alter core values. Avoiding deception is key to maintaining self-integrity and confidence. Essentially, being congruent means that actions align with words.
A confident person understands their unique identity, accepts their body and mind, and recognises that self-improvement is a lifelong journey. Rather than dwelling on negative aspects, they focus on their strengths and how to enhance them to welcome challenges and strive to become their best self. Growth involves nurturing the mind, body, and spirit through exercise, better sleep, and mental resilience. Seeking validation is unproductive; instead, authentic confidence is demonstrated through convictions and actions.
