My toxic trait is...
assuming everyone else knows what I know, so don’t share what I know (or I’m reluctant to do so).
As a self-taught designer, imposter syndrome has always been a struggle for me. I doubted myself and my abilities. Or whenever ideas come to mind, I would tell myself that it is boring, too simple, no one wants to hear that, and so on.
Like, there was A LOT of negative self-talk.
I needed to reframe these negative beliefs and thoughts that I had and started treating myself with the compassion, kindness, and grace that I deserved.
Things are much better now, Alhamdulillah. But not perfect. Self-doubt still creeps in every now and then but through doing the inner work, I am able to dispel those thoughts a lot sooner.
On social media, and particularly here on Instagram, we rarely see the negative aspects of entrepreneurship and putting ourselves out there.
Everyone has their own struggles that they are dealing with and I trust that you find comfort in knowing that you are not alone.
And remember…
You are worthy of all that is good.
You make good decisions for yourself and your business.
You got this.
Keep pushing forward
Because I, too, am praying for your success.
