Ep 67: Living As A Fraud: When you have a voice in your head that tells you youre not good enough

Published: Nov. 14, 2015, midnight

b'Are you guided by a belief that something is wrong with you? That you\\u2019re not good enough, and that you are fooling everyone \\u2013 pretending you\\u2019re like them, but soon enough they\\u2019re going to realize you\\u2019re not talented, cool or smart. Maybe you constantly strive to build the life of someone worthy, but always seem to feel just as worthless as before: you\\u2019re never thin enough, you\\u2019re not as successful as you\\u2019d like to be, or maybe you\\u2019re living a life that you know you don\\u2019t want but you\\u2019re too afraid to do anything about it because it\\u2019s going to show the world that you\\u2019re a weak and shameful loser. So it\\u2019s better to just stay safe, and protected in the lie. Even though you feel suffocated and stifled by this life. Well if this sounds like you then you\\u2019re in good company \\u2013 this is a universal human trait: to feel that we\\u2019re not good enough. And that\\u2019s because so much of the self is defined by things we learn from others. The brain we use to drive and make money is also the brain that computes risk based on a very specific structure we\\u2019ve built via our life experiences. So it\\u2019s natural to have grown up with a set of beliefs that are \\u2013 to say the least \\u2013 not in favor of your confidence and self-love. So if this sounds like you I hope to offer you some relief in the form of understanding, plus a few tools to manage the affects. As usual there are 3 parts: the what, the why, and the how: the tools.
