The new school year has begun and I was beginning to feel insecure and and very unworthy of my new job that I worked very hard to get. I am happy and I feel deeply fulfilled, but I still had this impostor syndrome of not being worthy of the job I have been having the past few months.
It got to the point where I started saying that I wasn't professional enough and even going as far as saying that I am so unserious and that I am an outsider at my job even though they have been nothing but welcoming. After a few days of saying this, I asked myself "why was I calling myself unserious?" I thought where did this come from and who told this to me and why am I agreeing with this. After some thought, I realized that it was me feeling insecure and not worthy from previous experiences at work and in life. That thought process is not honoring to me or my coworkers and staff around me because I could internalize this and start acting out to prove a point of me being unserious.
I am different, but that does not make me less worthy or ready and available to do my job that I absolutely love. During the last retreat, I really came to the conclusion that I creating a new story is so important for growth. I realized that I did not want to talk down on myself and I created a new story of love and light and that I am capable. I have been feeling so much better after confronting this thoughts and I look forward to walking in my new story. :)
