There’s something I saw recently from a video from author Meghan March shared in her Rebels & Runaways community that stuck with me. And If you aren’t over there, it’s free to join and it’s an amazing positive space to be! Here’s the link if you wanna head over.
Anyway, she said to let your self belief be bigger than your self doubt. And boy was my mind blown. I never thought to combat my imposter syndrome, doubts, fear, or any negative thought about my writing with the positive opposite side of it, and it’s the perfectly logical thing to do!
She said once you start telling the self doubt thoughts they are wrong and start combating it with thoughts of self belief, it will drown out the self doubt. The self doubt voice may always be there, but it won’t be louder than your self belief voice. And that is so comforting to know.
Your self belief voice will become more powerful than the self doubt voice. It just takes practice and habit saying the positive beliefs. White them down where you can read them and say them out loud everyday. “I can write my book to the best of my ability.” “I am an amazing writer.” Or whatever it is you need to tell yourself.
It really is the best defense against imposter syndrome! And of course it’s the same concept of manifestation so how I didn’t connect the two until now is crazy. But sometimes it takes someone else saying something in the right moment for us to really hear it!
I’ll leave you with a quote from Meghan’s book The Creative Rebel’s Guide to Writing Amazing Fiction. This book truly is a must have for writers in my opinion. I’ve read it twice and the whole book is gold.
Happy Writing!
Xoxo
