Confidence who is she

I will start working at the workplace of my dreams next week. I have 6 months to prove myself, working as an intern with 10 more fighting alongside me for the job. This opportunity is once in a lifetime. And it is almost impossible to get the job (everyone says). But I’ve been dreaming about it for years. I am absolutely terrified. What if I let myself down. What if IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH!? I start overthinking - believing that my competition are smarter, better and more likeable than me. I think of all of the struggles I’ve had. The adhd. The meds. The times I let myself and others down. Being scared of not succeeding is a path to being sad. And I don’t want to be sad. I want to be pumped about the chance and believe that I can do this! I want to become my own cheerleader. But how?

I had a similar experience in my current job. I started as the only person in my position, but it was clear that as the demand for content grew, someone else was needed—and that person appeared. With more, much more experience. Oh boy, did my inner critic speak up! I constantly compared myself to his work instead of focusing on my own, which ultimately led me to produce lower-quality work. After a month or two, for some reason, I let it go—maybe I managed to come to the conclusion on my own that I was only hurting myself. Guess what—I started doing my job better. So much better that the projects from the person I used to compare myself to started coming back to me because, according to others, “I did them better.” Our creativity and ability to do our work well have no limits, as long as they aren’t blocked. Let it go ✨. Be mindful when your inner critic speaks up and release those thoughts. I believe in you!

Don’t let the negative voice in your head discourage you! If you give this your all (which you will, because it’s your dream job) then your competition doesn’t stand the slightest chance 💪🏻🍀💪🏻 Your lightning fast brain will guarantee your success, you just have to trust in your infinite potential 🔥🍀🔥

Kindness and Self-Compassion should set you up in the best way possible! And you know not many people will have that tool in their toolbox. Congratulations btw! Are you doing anything to celebrate?

Well you don’t have to leave competition out necessarily… which is why I mentioned I can guarantee you will probably become ahead from every one else in being the most kind to yourself 😉😎🙃

Thank you! I tend to focus on the competition instead of me, but you’re right, compassion and kindness is everything! It will be my mantra 🥰 No not really… beside drinking some fancy bubbles! 🥂🍾
