It's Because PRAISE BELONGS TO GOD. I'm just talented because there is sb who gave me this talent, and i need to honor him. We see this people of talent create things and observe their contribution and applaud them for their competence. And they are a creation and a Gift to us from God. He gifted them with talent. We are a receptacle, and he is a giver. what do we have? The exaltation which is due to him.
This motivated me and Same time made me Sad. Because my Dad was like my SuperMan and Loosing him at Age 15 was so painful because My Cheerleader was gone and all our plans for my future were gone. I lived in self doubt because I only get that dad voice of.. 'I am proud of you " it took me time to internalise those words and tell me that to my self. It was hard but I am glad Of my Progress, even though it seem so slow but I am glad to be moving.. 😅. and I am sure my Dad is proud of Her 28 yr old little Baby girl from Heaven❤️
Practice telling yourself, no matter what others think of you, what you think about yourself matters the most Reframe your thoughts to celebrate who you really are, Strong, Courageous, and Brave. Thank you so much Dr. Toomer
Wow. Never have I heared someone talking about a healthy child-parent relationship like this before and neither do I know someone who experienced one. That's rare. Lucky you. I am happy for you and I mean it.
Really great! It just reinforces to me, the value of good parents. My father was as opposite to yours as is possible. Your dad sounds absolutely wonderful and you are the fabulous result.
You are missing the point of what "imposter syndrome" originally meant. It is usually applied to when in the eyes of the public, which can be on a stage, or even having a book out with endless great reviews, but in any case associates with either a real stage or a metaphorical one. The important distinction with ordinary stage fright is that you have huge attention and enormous goodwill provided by the audience. You really feel like an imposter. This "imposter syndrome" it is more unsettling because you have a huge expectation from the audience, at least as you perceive, they you cannot mentally live up to. In your talk here, you have framed it as just related to achievements, which isn't quite right - it has to be when related to being in the limelight, and trust me, it really feels like you are an imposter. You can have very good self-esteem and a balanced psychological when out of the limelight, but when "on the stage" in some way, it feels understandable really weird.

This is powerful. Reframing your thoughts is a tool we all need. You are not an imposter, you are BRAVE.
Best tedx talk ever this sank right into me I really am enlightened and elevated
Thank you!
ALX cohort 13. Such an interesting explanation of imposter syndrome
Between the 5 videos I've watched on imposter syndrome, she puts it to the point. So grounded. Self love and positive self talk can shift mountains
Thank you!
Thankyou for stopping myself from going down a negative rabbit hole and instead reframing the thoughts of doubt I have as being normal ❤

Well done!
I can relate to this, a feeling doesn't make one a fraud.
Practice telling yourself, no matter what others think of you, what you think about yourself matters the most
Reframe your thoughts to celebrate who you really are,
Strong, Courageous, and Brave.
Thank you so much Dr. Toomer
