Good morning everyone. I can use some emotional validation. I left a job I had for six years because I was tired of the lack of respect and low pay. I recently landed a new contracting gig for a really cool guy who is excited to have me on board. Is paying me my worth. Very upbeat, collaborative.
And I’m struggling with this concept. I feel like an imposter. I don’t know how to convince myself I am worthy of all of this. What do I tell myself? What would you tell YOURSELF?
@Call_Me_Peppermint_Petty The new boss is excited to have you on board— you have already proven yourself. Just enjoy the new job and don’t overthink things. Speaking from my own experience of feeling I have to prove myself over and over and burning myself out. Don’t do that.

But the opposite of overthinking (unfortunately extremely common) is MUCH WORSE. Strike a balance … 🙂
