First things first, let’s understand what imposter syndrome is. It’s this feeling that you don’t deserve your accomplishments and are just pretending to be successful. It’s like you’re wearing a disguise, and everyone will discover you’re not as bright or talented as they think.

Now, how can we improve? Well, one way is to acknowledge your achievements. Take a moment, pat yourself on the back, and realize you’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’ve put in the time and effort, so give yourself some credit.

Next, remember that nobody knows everything. Seriously, even the experts have to Google stuff sometimes. So, don’t beat yourself up when you don’t know something. Instead, see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Embrace that curiosity…
