This time of self-isolation and quarantine around the world has been tough on everyone. For some, it has been an exceptionally difficult time, those who are extroverts, those who are stressed because of finances, and especially those who suffer from the very real issue of imposter syndrome.
My Own Story
I had suffered chronically with this for more than 20 years. From the time I started succeeding in high school, I had the inklings of it starting in the back of my mind. I would question whether I really deserved the success. I would fear that someone would find something I did wrong to achieve that success (though I had not), and that what I had achieved would be taken away.

Do you ever feel like you lack confidence? You’re probably thinking “well you’re one to talk because you get on and you do these things.” If you know me outside of Social Media, you know that I normally have no problems talking to people, telling people what’s on my mind.
But here’s the thing: confidence is one of those things where if you have it you go boy I wish I had more of it, and if you don’t feel like you have it, you may just not think confidence is your things.

Do you ever have something about yourself that you want to change? Maybe it’s your hairstyle, maybe you want to lose some weight, maybe you wish that you were nicer to people, that you didn’t yell at your kids as much, maybe it’s that you want to change your jobs or career path. Whatever it is, there are a number of things that all of us would love to change about ourselves most of the time.
But we sit here and ask, why can’t I change these things, why can’t I just wave the magic wand and all of a sudden accomplish my goals? One of the things for me is my weight. I have for years said that I want to lose some weight and become healthier. It’s something that I continue to struggle with. But there is a key to any change you want to make in your life, whether it is weight, something about your personality, or your character, or maybe your job or living situation.

I just have a quick question for you: are you really using your freedom and celebrating it, or have you decided to trade it in and actually remain captive? In the United States, we celebrate the Fourth of July, which is not just the fireworks and the things you get to do with your family, but really is to celebrate and remember what it costs to actually get the freedom that we enjoy.
I think of lot of us in my generation and younger, we’ve never really experienced a time of significant war where there was a huge cost for our personal freedom. So do we understand what the cost is, but also what the freedom is that we’ve been given, are we embracing it, are we celebrating it, and are we using it to the fullest potential?

I wanted to pick up today talk a little bit more about affirmation journals and issue an affirmation challenge.One of the things I have been doing a lot of learning a lot about over the last about four years is controlling your thoughts, taking control of your thoughts, and not allowing yourself to sabotage what it is that you want to achieve.
