You’re not the fraud your mind makes you out to be.

Most of us have felt it - that uneasy sense of not measuring up, of being one step away from being “found out.”

It feels real, personal, and deeply uncomfortable.

But what if Impostor Syndrome isn’t a problem to fix — only an illusion to see through?

As Albert Einstein stated, we can't solve a problem from the same thinking or level of consciousness that created it. From a deeper understanding of the mind, we can recognize that our experience of self-doubt doesn’t come from our role, results, or others’ opinions.

It comes from thought - moment to moment.
When we mistake our temporary thoughts for truth, we innocently believe we are the impostor we imagine ourselves to be.

But when we see thought for what it is — transient, ever-changing — the feeling of being a fraud naturally loses its hold.

I have heard people say they are sure of their values, not sure what values are or believe they need to complete an assessment to be told their values. I take a much more pragmatic approach. If I were a fly on the wall, what would I observe you doing?

I believe our values are what we ultimately do, not philosophical notions or high ideals. I value and spend money on books, personal and business development and playing golf. I value empowering women (and fashion) and volunteer at Dress for Success. I also value classical music and serve on the Board of Calgary ProMusica Society which brings world-class chamber music ensembles to perform in Calgary.

If you don’t think you know your values, reflect on what you spend your time, talent and treasure on. If you say you value nature but don’t spend much time outdoors, maybe not so much. If believe you value friendships but don’t spend much time with friends, likely friendships are not a priority or at the very least, you value something else more. Maybe you value getting ahead in your career. Perhaps you value making money or achieving recognition and status. There is no judgment of what you value, only you know if what you do brings out the best in you and others.

I worked for a short time for an organization that claimed they valued personal initiative and career opportunities. What I observed they valued was callousness and greed. What you value is not hidden from you (or anyone else). You do, say and act on what you value. When you see this for yourself, you are at liberty to make changes to align your actions with what has you feel more alive and brings greater personal joy, fulfillment and satisfaction.

A lawyer once said to me he believed the justice system would work better without lawyers. While lawyers offer a valuable service to their clients, they can also argue, discount, dismiss, delay and distract which can lead to confusion drawing out the time to reach a decision.

I realized our intellectual mind can work like a lawyer – interrogating, bringing forth evidence against, introducing doubt and questioning our credibility. A good idea, scrutinized by our mind, can lead to loss of confidence, indecision, procrastination, even a false verdict.

We have a deeper, innate intelligence that is the source of insight, instinct, intuition and sensible knowing in the moment. Its astute and common-sense approach can be overridden by our wavering, unpredictable personal mind vulnerable to the distortion of a low mood and unconscious biases.

The antidote? Everyone works more effectively and productively with a light and free state of mind. Meditation can help settle a busy, overthinking, overly analytical mind, however ideally, you go about your day in a meditative state of mind. Calm, clear and confident in your decisions and actions.

I recently watched a YouTube video on the founding and growth of IKEA from humble beginnings in Sweden. The founder, IIngvar Kamprad, in an attempt to out-maneuver his completion, discovered that we tend to place a disproportionately high value on things we helped to create. His flat-pack, assemble-it-yourself business model became a world phenomenon. Now of course we have TaskRabbit, but that’s another matter.

In his Café for the Soul message today supercoach Michael Neill writes “When we do something difficult or taxing, we want to believe that there is a good reason for putting in all that effort. As a result, it becomes hard to walk away from a low-value project we’ve been a parent of”.

This ‘effort justification’ keeps many of us from letting go of projects, groups and things that no longer contribute to our current goals and aspirations. Projects that consume time and energy, groups that no longer contribute to enjoyment and things that take up space and require upkeep to the detriment of quality of life.

It is hard enough to say no to someone else, never mind saying no to yourself. You might want to get help in releasing with grace, whatever is no longer contributing to your success, happiness and well-being.

I was led to believe that if I worked very hard, become successful and made lots of money, I would somehow ‘arrive’ at a place where I would feel happy, fulfilled and free.

What I discovered was there was no arriving. Over time, my career and business success left me feeling anxious and irritable, having less time for myself and perpetually exhausted. I was overcommitted, overworking and overwhelmed.

Our culture offers the premise that our happiness and well-being is something we are to strive for. That somehow it is ‘out there’ in the realm of accomplishments, recognition and material possessions. Have you noticed your promotion, business success, new car or fabulous vacation don’t provide a lasting experience of joy and well-being? How, life seems to slip back into familiar patterns and experiences?

After years of achieving, striving, and almost arriving, I eventually discovered the truth about where peace of mind, happiness, and contentment reside. The good news is that they dwell within you; the bad news is that your ego needs to be willing to recognize it. It will continue to apply pressure to do more, be more and have more.

If you are a business owner or leader whose success is causing you more stress and less well-being, take heart—there is another way. Through a simple and profound understanding of how life works and how your mind operates, you can discover how to enjoy effortless ease, experience more energy and well-being, and create more time for who and what you love.

DM me if you can relate and are curious to know more.
