Tag: imposter syndrome

It’s okay to miss a blog post. Regardless of that little pop up you get on your phone to say that you’re streak is in jeopardy.

It. Is. Okay. Really, I promise.

The only gamification going on is in your head, but that’s how the anxiety starts. I alluded to the writing is rote in another blog. Yesterday I did know I should be writing a blog. I purposely, and with purpose, did NOT pick up my phone to write a few words.

I had to prove, yet again it seems, that it is okay to miss a day, a few days, a week. Well okay not a week, that seems to be pretty extreme, but even so… it is okay.

I’ve also been reading a lot more on imposter syndrome, and how real it is. I am a voracious reader. I will read almost any fiction I can get my hands on. I finally finished the Dresden Files. What a fantastic series. I couldn’t get enough.

I made the ultimate mistake though.

I said to myself- I can never compare to this.

Actually in retrospect that was pretty presumptuous, even thinking that I was in the same league (insert scoff here).

Thing is, I’ll never be competing with the big power players, but too is okay. I just need to stop competing with my very own self
