Have you ever taken the time to write down a list of your Top 10 Greatest Hit Moments?
From milestones like earning your first dollar as a business, landing a big order, getting your first 5-star review (from someone you don’t know), to winning an award?
In this final episode of Chapter 2: Mind over Money, we‘re making time to celebrate the wins.
Financial therapist, Aseel El-Babe shares how believing in yourself can play an important part in achieving your business goals.
Let’s dive in.
Getting in the habit of visualizing yourself achieving a goal or overcoming an obstacle can be a powerful way to reduce stress and achieve success.You might do this by creating a vision board with a picture that represents what you hope to achieve and following that with a series of actions you must take to achieve them.
While the vision board looks to the future, having something you can look back on as a reminder of your past wins can be just as important.
According to the Journal of General Internal Medicine up to 82% of people face feelings of the “impostor” phenomenon (most commonly referred to as impostor syndrome).
This is especially common among high-performing, overachievers who are quick to overlook their successes. They set a bar so high. And when they come close, they move the bar even higher.
That’s where your Greatest Hits List comes in. You can use this as a tool to refer back to in moments when your confidence is wavering.
Make a list of your top 10 greatest hits moments. This forces you to spend time thinking about your achievements and gives you something to come back to when “impostor” feelings creep in.
Keep it in a note on your phone for easy access!
