Embrace discomfort and allow negative emotions to pass: Instead of fighting negative emotions like imposter syndrome, allow them to come and go for a healthier response
Instead of fighting against negative emotions like imposter syndrome, it's important to allow them to come and pass. According to Kate from Everyday Positivity, trying to resist these feelings can make them worse and lead to a spiral of self-deprecation. Instead, she suggests embracing the discomfort and recognizing that these thoughts are not reality. As Hanif Abdurraqib says, "The only way out is through." By giving ourselves permission to feel all emotions, we can ride them out and eventually move past them. So next time you experience imposter syndrome or other negative emotions, try allowing them to come and go rather than fighting against them. Remember, it's a natural part of the human experience, and the only way to move forward is to go through it. Additionally, Kate invites everyone to join her free live event in the Facebook group Everyday Positivity with Kate Cocker, where they can bring their hobbies and join a community of positivity.
