Hey guys, hope all has been well.
After a couple more months of reflection and feedback from all of you, I have decided I will continue the Grateful Living channel and podcast through vlogs on different life topics.
When I did my last video explaining the pause of the channel and the podcast, one of things that I said was, I am open to feedback and hearing anybody’s thoughts on the pause.
I appreciated all the support I received while I was content creating and I wanted to make sure I heard the people that supported me through the journey.
The #1 feedback I got was: We get reaching out to people to be a podcast guests, prepping for the guest interviews, posting the content from the interviews is a lot, but you should continue the life topic vlogs, as often as is healthy for you, even if it’s just once a month.
Thank you to all the people that encouraged me to do this. In my own reflections, I never thought of this as a possibility. When I posted my last video in January, I really thought, my content creation days were over.
When you’re used to doing something a certain level, like posting 7 days a week, going to a lesser schedule feels like you’re cheating and not giving 100%.
But as the months have gone by and I’ve reflected, I realized effort levels change - what giving 100% means can evolve and change as we progress through life. Previously, I could do 7 days a week, today, I can’t.
As it stands right, I hope to post at least once a month on a different life topic.
Today, I address, not letting imposter syndrome stop you from being your best self.
I think a lot of times people talk about the fear of failure, of making mistakes and losing it all.
But it’s interesting too, I think a lot of people suffer from fear of success, the fear of a greater positive image of themselves.
I think about some of my friends who have been through some traumas in their life and could be characterized, as say “crazy” or “a lot to handle”.
They’ll interact with me, and be like, “Oh, I’ll never be calm and happy, and put together, I’ll always be crazy and have an edge to me.”
And I’m like, “no actually you can become a calmer and happier version of yourself”. You’re self-doubt and the fear of success/imposter syndrome stop you from being that better version.
Make no mistake. Change doesn’t happen overnight.
It takes times, it takes work. For them, it might take therapy, it might take coaching. It might take reading an emotional intelligence book. It might take addressing things you haven’t wanted to from the past.
Whatever you’re trying to better in your life, you can do it.
Don’t doubt yourself. It may take time and work, but you can better yourself in that area.
Hope this is of value. Please feel free to provide any feedback or comments!
