Ugh. Imposter syndrome kicking in big time. Always does when I’m running on empty, but that seems to be precisely when one needs to be able to pretend to be on the ball.

@lucifargundam I’m hoping that’s the case sooner rather than later. 🤞

Either you're not thinking cleverly enough or you're not desperate enough.

You could always crank up the heat.

Write about it. Keep a journal to manifest nonphysical obstacles into something you can physically bring closure to. Symbolism is powerful if not done incorrectly.

@nullifidian I'm not sure what you're working on, but somebody explained to me that fields that require a degree of creativity, create imposter syndrome easier because what you're doing comes with the feeling that nobody else is doing what you're doing, which maybe true. But if you're creating something new, that's the way it is. Also, anytime you have to "trial & error" something, can also yield that feeling because you know you don't know. But both doing something that nobody else is doing, or trial & error are both normal parts of a creative work cycle. Hope this helps 🤷
