Maybe You're Like Me with Alicia Watson

Religion & Spirituality


Maybe you're like me and you're not an imposter.A few weeks back I did an Instagram Live  with Sheena of Pretty Girl County and we talked about Imposter Syndrome. I have to admit I was caught off guard by the response to the post announcing the event. I knew about imposter syndrome but didn’t really consider just how many people are affected by it. You can head over to Pretty Girl County’s Instagram page to check our conversation, but I gave it more thought after our call and wanted to devote an episode of MYLM to Imposter Syndrome and my thoughts on it. We have to capture the thoughts that make us feel like imposters and submit them to Christ. It’s a mental and spiritual exercise that you have to consistently work at. 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 says, “We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.  We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.  We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”I challenge you, if you claim to be a believer, then believe. Actively believe. You can’t believe once and for all. You have to keep testing those thoughts, holding them up to the sky like they do your $20 bill at the grocery store.  If you know who God is, how sovereign he is, how magnificent, and powerful, how wise, how competent he is - trust and believe what he says about you. And if you need a bit more convincing, I encourage you to check out this episode. We might be more alike than you think... Grab a copy of my book to see what I mean *wink wink*: Secret Donuts: a Journey to Getting Over Your Weight, Aligned with God and into Your Purpose Connect with Alicia on Instagram and let her know your thoughts on this week's episode.
