First thing in the morning, before things start happening, I will spend about 20 minutes free-writing in my journal to get whatever is on my mind onto paper. This really helps me clear my mind before the day starts. And I have found that this helps to reduce stress and anxiety. This is the real magic for me and why I like journaling.

Imposter syndrome is real, and it arrives whenever we’re doing important work.
I experienced a spike of anxiety the other day, right around the moment I finished a job interview. It lasted about a day, and it took me even longer to figure out why it happened in the first place.
It wasn’t from a lack of confidence in my ability to do the work. It was having confidence, and possibly being wrong.
It was imposter syndrome.
And it’s probably true. But I will show up anyway and will do the important work that needs to be done. If the opportunity is given to me.
