Have you ever achieved something meaningful and thought, “I don’t deserve this — they’ll realize I’m a fraud”?
You’re not alone. Learning how to overcome imposter syndrome starts with recognizing that self-doubt often appears when you’re growing.
At Green Gorilla, we believe wellness means more than physical health — it’s also about cultivating calm, confidence, and self-trust. Building a calm, confident, and resilient mind.
What Is Imposter Syndrome?
Imposter syndrome is the feeling that your achievements aren’t deserved. It often shows up when you’re stepping into something new — a career move, a leadership role, or even a personal project.
It thrives on:
- Perfectionism and high standards
- Comparison on social media
- Fear of mistakes or failure
Even the most successful leaders and creators admit they’ve battled these thoughts. If they’ve felt it, you’re not alone.
Recognizing the Signs
Your inner critic might say:
- “I just got lucky — it wasn’t really me.”
- “I don’t actually know what I’m doing.”
- “I’m not worthy of this opportunity.”
These aren’t truths — they’re fears that tend to get loudest right before real growth.
5 Mindful Ways to Overcome Imposter Syndrome
Track Your Wins
Keep a journal of achievements — big or small. Looking back reminds you of your resilience and capability.
Talk It Out
Share your doubts with a mentor, friend, or coworker. You’ll likely hear, “I’ve felt that too.”
Reframe Mistakes
Mistakes aren’t proof you don’t belong — they’re proof you’re learning.
Practice Mindfulness
Breathing exercises, affirmations, or even a walk outside can ground you in the present.
Step Away from Comparison
Focus on your journey, not someone else’s highlight reel.
A Gentle Reminder
Feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you’re not capable — it means you care. It means you’re stepping into spaces that challenge you, which is where real growth happens.
The next time your inner critic whispers, “You don’t deserve this,” remind yourself: you’ve earned your place.
At Green Gorilla, we encourage wellness for both body and mind. Pairing mindful self-care with calming rituals — like journaling or taking a moment with our organic CBD supplements — can help you quiet doubts and step confidently into your growth.
