Do you struggle with imposter syndrome?

Friends, imposter syndrome is real! I believed I heard the Lord ask me to share my health journey, but then I felt Him telling me to take a break from social media, so I assumed I misunderstood about the health part... Nope! I actually hear God much more clearly than I realize. During my week, or was it two? Hmm... During my social media break, I ended up redesigning my entire website and felt inspired to invite others to join me in a wellness challenge. I overindulged at Thanksgiving and spent the following days consuming unhealthy food and feeling terrible. I really want to break this cycle because I'm so done with it! The response I recieved from the little post I made on Facebook and Instagram was pretty incredible. Thus, a wellness challenge emerged, and I've been contemplating the role of Health Coach. It unsettles me because health is one of my life's weakest areas. Who am I to guide women on this journey? That's when the Holy Spirit reassures me, saying, "I have you exactly where I want you, for in your weakness, I am strong, and you will rely entirely on me during this challenge." My friend, that is both a beautiful and scary position to be in.

So here we go on a health journey together. Now, since I shared that beautiful image at the top let's share a bit of real life now. Mask off!! I will allow myself to be vulnerable and authentic in this. I was all excited to make myself a high protein breakfast this morning. I made protein powder pancakes and had plans to use it as a wrap for my scrambled eggs. Well, I burnt the pancake and my protein powder is sweetened with steevia and has an aftertaste that I do not enjoy. (frowny face) I honestly just ate the eggs. My coffee was made with a cheap ground coffee I got from Aldi because I am out of espresso beans. It wasn't that good either. (another frowny face) I must resist the thoughts trying to invade my mind right now. I will concentrate on the positives: the scrambled eggs were excellent and provided protein. I'll add some greens, making it a fantastic breakfast!

This challenge starts on Monday, and I am destined for it! God has prepared me for this, and I am committed to Him!

If you're also dealing with imposter syndrome, here's some encouragement for you: STOP IT! God is your strength! Thank Him for providing us with a helper to empower us on this journey! You were given a spirit of POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND, not fear! We should utilize the tools at our disposal rather than whining and lamenting.

As a Life Coach, I emphasize that health is integral to the journey, encompassing the mind, body, and spirit. Everything is interconnected. I decide to let go of my need to have everything perfect and honestly acknowledge that I don't, but I'm incredibly thankful to have God. He is the greatest friend a girl could have.

I will fasten my seatbelt because I agreed to this ride and am determined to enjoy it!

I am so happy to have you here with me too! Let's have fun together!
