Gaaahh. Never experienced Imposter Syndrome "so I'd be happy to contribute that perspective to your book"??! Unbelievable. Except I totally believe it. <facepalm> Move along, f*cker!! 🤪
So first of all, it's sad to me that I could think of multiple people that would fit the bill for your first example. But I have a pretty solid guess lol.
In terms of self-care and things you put off, I am the master of not taking care of myself. I put everything else first and feel some sort of martyrdom I guess around not prioritizing myself. So, right now, I'm trying to get myself back on the daily fitness train and eating real food and real meals and not just grazing snacks all the time. I gained so much weight during COVID, probably a lot of which was due to stress. So it's time...I'm in FL now so I have no excuse for not getting in the pool, walking the dog, riding my bike, etc. I just need to stop standing in my own way. So there you go...that's my example right now which is true for so many, but vitally important for me.
