Remember, you got to where you are for a reason
If you’re working a new job or have been working the same job for a while but still have moments of feeling unqualified or undeserving, just remember that you got to where you are for a reason.
Your employer didn’t pluck you out of the blue and randomly give you the position you have. You weren’t chosen for your job by mistake. You worked hard to get where you are, you showed a lot of promise in your job interview, and your boss chose you because you have what it takes.
In this economy, employers have to be picky. Why would they risk hiring someone they didn’t think was right for the job? You got your job because you are qualified and deserve it. Don’t forget that!
Write down your goals
This is a way of manifesting good things for your career while also keeping yourself organized and motivated. If you feel your self-doubt has been holding you back, take some deep breaths and settle down to write down some of your career goals.
Where would you like to see yourself working in five to ten years? What kind of relationship do you want with your boss and coworkers? Where do you want to be living, and how much do you want to make?
Considering these questions while writing down your career goals will help you manifest good things in your future and keep track of where you are and want to be.
Avoid comparison when possible
We tend to fall into imposter syndrome when we spend much time comparing ourselves to others. If you have coworkers who have been at your job longer and make you feel inadequate, stop comparing your work journey to theirs.
If you’ve been seeing a lot of people on social media brag about their jobs, and it makes you feel bad, consider taking a break from social media and deleting your apps for a bit.
