Albert Einstein, Facebook vice president of operations Cheryl Sandberg, Tina Fey, astronaut Neil Armstrong, and even Michelle Obama suffered from the phenomenon of impostor syndrome at some point in their lives. At Harvard University, and then again later in her professional life, and it's "just a matter of time before everyone gets on it."

People who suffer from the syndrome are unable to internalize their successes and achievements in the field in which they succeed, and feel that they are highly esteemed based on a "fake" of capabilities that do not exist at all, along with the fear that the "mask will eventually tear" and reveal that they really do not deserve success.

The researcher, scientist and journalist Elaine C. Satellite, has been suffering from the syndrome for years. She has written two leading courses at the University of Oxford, published a professional book considered one of the best psychology books for 2015, won dozens of awards, advised the establishment of 700 workshops, published 400 scientific articles in reputed Batonians, joined as a member of some of the world's most important science associations and invited to the regular forum Nobel prize.

"I felt that I was working on my colleagues, that my success was accidental, that I did not deserve what I was accomplishing and that soon all the cheating would be revealed and I would be foolish and Cluny would be seen in many," said Levin in an article she wrote. "I felt this way every day, I knew I would feel this way in the future and knew I felt that way in the past. At that time, I was assigned to lead the university by the dean of the master's program that combines science and business. Only I had no prior experience in this combination, I didn't know how to lead students and had chest pains." .

"Don't be angry with ourselves"

Elaine C. Levine sat down with herself and thought about her feelings as she managed to write a complete method for dealing with this familiar scientific syndrome. A method she now publishes widely because she believes her experience in psychology, business, lectures and many tangible fields allows her to look at the difficulty from several angles. 

"I thought why I feel cheated? After all, my degrees are real, to this day I did, did a lot of things, got me to work because I'm talented, so why do I criticize myself? When I realized that there was really no connection between the criticism and the feeling that accompanied me to my objective reality And I decided not to let that happen to me again. "

She said she analyzed the mechanisms that push her to this place, along with some rules, which she passes on to everyone she cherishes, to deal with the difficulty.

The son who is the driver of your life vehicle: "I mean it's a feeling that exists in us and is not built on facts. The first step to this change is to understand that it is just a feeling and to understand that we are in control of that feeling. Once we understand that emotions are not facts and they come from us, it is key to control that emotion. That we control the mind. "

Work out the emotions that await you:  "Anger, frustration, anxiety, insecurity, confusion and depression are some of the feelings that are triggered when the impostor syndrome is overflowing. What needs to be done is to break the emotions down and give them a place in the soul. For self-comfort, give yourself permission to feel this way and do not repress. The processing of the emotions that lie behind the general sense of impersonation allows us to better control the sense of the future and its position in the soul and that is very easy. "

Get angry with the syndrome:  "I'm not going to get angry with ourselves, but the weak side that hurts us. Get angry and say, 'No, you won't convince me I'm not fit or fit, I'll succeed and you won't set my life.'" Anger is a positive energy if It's not directed at ourselves and it's very helpful here. "

Have reviewed your successes in the past: " Contrary to inner feelings, we have done so much in life so far, we have succeeded, created, achieved. Review these successes against the emotion that is not based on anything but an inner feeling. This review itself will weaken the fear of whether You impersonate or not. "

Fight it: " Remember that the feeling itself is false and hypocrisy. Ask yourself why do you think you are not qualified or inappropriate? Examine the facts, abilities and emotions and share them with what exists. You will soon find that the sense of impersonation itself has no connection to reality but something Other in general. "

Take a look around:  "We often criticize ourselves harshly and forgive others. But look outside and tell themselves, if Felony succeeded then why not me? After all, I am talented."

Make a small success: "Feeling right now you're impersonating? Take a small project you're good at and do it - whether it's writing, talking to a colleague, leading another part of the project, anything you are good at that you will see as not a failure."

Be nice to yourself:  The imposter syndrome is coming and reducing everything good about us, so fight back, change what you are good at, what you are successful at, all your benefits, praise yourself, remember everything you did. Remember Self-Deception Syndrome is a powerful force in the soul and needs to be fought consistently. "
