| How to overcome Imposter Syndrome |

Without a doubt, this is one of the most prominent issues in #academia. Feeling as if you are not worthy, or don't belong, can have a serious effect on your overall wellbeing.

Hopefully this graphic (+thread) can help!

1. Recognise

Awareness of imposter feelings when they emerge is the first step. Track these thoughts, what they are and when they occur.

2. Rewrite

Remind yourself it's normal not to know everything and that you will learn more as you progress. Rewrite this in to your mental programs.

3. Talk

Others may feel the same as you, so open a dialogue rather than harbouring your negative thoughts alone.

4. Context

Self-doubt can be a normal reaction when you are out of your depth. Just because you feel a certain way at one point in time, doesn't mean that's the way it always is, or should be. Consider the context.
