Imposter Syndrome and THe Imposter Solution

It is interesting and has been very intersting.

I was listenign to Imposter Solution by Cassandra Dunn.  She exxplains what is Imposter Syndrome and that it was coined in 1978.  It is a term that a lot of people feel.  There are many layers to the syndrome.  Not caused just from "not feelign good enough", there are several aspects to it.  Chapter 2 talks about what and how the syndrome is caused.  It all boils down to self-doubt and questioning our abilities.

I asked myself when is it or where is it I dont' feel this?

For me it is in cooking, in my life and the inner works of the mind.

I dont' feel like an imposter when presenting, or talking to strangers, or when it comes to tidyign up my place, or be it organising my day, planning travels.

Why?  I looked at why I dont' feel insecure in these areas.  The answer was simple.  I love these adventures, it gives a sense of purpose, joy, excitement.  I dont' doubt my cooking, cleaning, or speaking abilities.  They are and have become natural coz I have practised it so many timmes that it has become second nature.  

It seemed so clear and when I sat down to write it it is less than a page.  That's ok too.
