When we learn to value ourselves, others value us too. It’s freeing when we no longer have to “chase clients.” Instead, we work with those who see what we are doing and want to be a part of it. Read on to learn more.

Imposter syndrome refers to an internal experience where we doubt our accomplishments, skills, or abilities and have a persistent fear of being exposed as fraud. Those of us who struggle with imposter syndrome often believe that our achievements result from luck or external factors rather than our capabilities.

Sometimes, we get bogged down on how far we must go to reach our goals. What we need to do is start focusing on the small habits that will eventually equal big results. In the book Atomic Habits, James Clear writes about how important it is to take small steps. The name of the game is consistency. It’s not perfection. We will make mistakes. We won’t be perfect. However, as long as we keep going, we WILL achieve the results we desire. Keep going, my friends!

For years, I dwelled often. I don’t know why I did it. It never made me feel better. It just made me sad, frustrated and feeling depressed. I blamed my choices on others when the decisions were all mine. I blamed others for what was happening in my life. While these things may have impacted my earlier thinking, they should not have remained an excuse later in life. But it did – and things continued to happen that kept me in this negative state to where I just kept blaming the world for what was happening to me.

A while back, I completed my certification in nutrition coaching through the National Academy of Sports and Medicine. In the exam, one of the questions was the following: Which option BEST describes the characteristic(s) of a high-quality nutrition plan?

The answer is simple: A nutrition plan should be flexible, based on a person's needs and goals.

For the last nine years, I have taken biochemistry, human physiology, and pathophysiology courses, served as a medical laboratory technician, and completed certifications in performance nutrition (supplementation) and general lifestyle nutrition/nutrition specialization. I also have experienced situations where I was given restrictive meal plans to follow during my time in bodybuilding.

It all boils down to this - the best plan is the plan you can follow for the rest of your life.

Are our actions showing that we found love from within, or are they showing that we are searching for love in all the wrong places? People, substances, food, etc., will never be able to fill our void until we decide to have a spiritual presence and find the love from within. This is the first step to kicking any type of addiction - loving ourselves.
