7: Getting Rid of Imposter Syndrome

Alright guys, Drew Canole. Welcome to the Drew and you'd show today we're talking about imposter syndrome. Oh, how's that feel in your solar plexus? Think about imposter syndrome. You ever deal with it? I've definitely dealt with it. My friend and I found some radical ways to heal from it and I don't know if it's ever going to go away. It's like trauma, right? It stores itself in your cells, it rears its ugly head every once in a while, but the more you observe it and the more you be kind to yourself, the more it starts to go away. So I'm gonna give you three of my tried and true things that I do. Maybe more. Maybe there's a bonus. We're just gonna let it flow this morning. Here it is 3:30 in the morning out in Sedona. The stars are out. This is a dark sky zone. It's absolutely beautiful. Got up about an hour ago. I am on my morning ritual this morning and I just wanted to give to you because I find the mornings when Drew is at is when he's giving, when he's focusing out and it's super powerful. So let's get into this imposter syndrome. Have you ever dealt with it? It seems to be a theme that's happening. People start to get some level of success and then they go back into sabotage. They get some level of notoriety and then they go back into sabotage. We're going to do some integration, we're going to do some embodied work as well. We're going to bring it down. We're going to bring the heaven realms down into you. That's my commitment to you, my friend. So get excited. I know, I feel your heart right now. And I just want to tell you that by the end of this transformation will happen. So allow yourself to simply receive as you listen to my voice and the music and allow yourself to go on a journey. Because those chains that have held you back from being the real you, without imposter syndrome, without scarcity, without lack of any is there and it's beckoning you. It's calling you from the eternal footsteps that it's already laid down for you. And my job as a coach is just to simply be the bridge. It's to simply allow you to follow your own path. I'm not even here. There's no voice. All right, now we're getting weird, but let's bring it back. Getting into imposter syndrome today. Let's go. So for me, in dealing with Imposter syndrome. I remember it very vividly. Fifteen years ago, I was running a credit and debt settlement company. I was working, paying myself pretty much hour. Even though I was the entrepreneur, I was paying myself like an hour rate. I was trading my time for hours, which is a hard place to be in. Many people are in that place. And you may be there right now, right? No worries. So every single other person that I would look at that seemed to have a better business, seemed to have more success than me. I just beat myself up. There was these undeserving comparisons that I had. I was analyzing myself day in and day out of where I wasn't.

And sometimes it can be in our peers. And now we have social media, we've had it forever. So now we look at all these other trendsetters, these moguls, these business icons, and then we get on the perpetual hamster wheel of I got to do more, I got to do more, I got to do more. And it comes from resistance. It comes from the very fact that we're not where we want to be. It comes from the very fact that we're not enough. It comes from the very fact that we're not loved right deep inside. We're comparing ourselves and then we start to lose our authenticity. Our authenticity goes out the door because we're trying to become a cookie on the assembly line of life of all the other cookies. When you have magical nuts that nobody's even alright, that's weird, but you get my point. There's ingredients in your cookie that not everybody has. And your thumbprint is different. Your eye is different. Your eye is a gateway to the cosmos. And it's different than every single human being's eye on this planet. Your soul's purpose is different than every single human being on this planet. And the fact that you're on the planet at this time says, we need you, we need you to be authentic. So when you compare yourself to somebody else, when you're constantly looking at what's not working for you, what's not enough, it creates more fire in your body, more heat, Chinese medicine. And that heat can be damp heat, dry heat, but it throws you out of balance. And when you're out of balance, you can't be your best. So how do we bring it back into neutrality? Because entering the portal or the gateway of love and joy and life, we get to be balanced, whole, integrated, embodied human beings. So stop comparing yourself. What would your life look like if you no longer compared yourself to anybody else?

Think about that. Where would you Be would you have all that you need now?

Yeah. Maybe you wouldn't push yourself to the ends of the earth so much.

And maybe the universe would deliver things back to you more effortlessly. Because the more you push, the more you resist, the more it evades you. What would that look like? What if things were easier? What a noble thought that would be. Alright, number two for imposter syndrome is I am constantly giving myself credit. Words of affirmation. It's a lot of people's love language and sometimes there's not a people around to give you words of affirmation. So who gets to give you those words of affirmation when you're in dire need of hearing it?

Take your thumbs and point them at your chest, baby. You get to give yourself words of affirmation. You get to give yourself due credit. Look at how far you've come. That's right.

Look at all the milestones that you've hit.

Look at your childhood and some of the difficulties that you had as a kid. Right. You made it past that. Look at those relationships that didn't serve you in the past that you've evolved from. That's absolutely incredible. Look at your education, look at the books you've read. There's so much to give yourself credit for. Look at all the people that you've helped when nobody was looking. Not because you wanted praise or fame or accolade, but just because that's who you are. So give yourself credit for that. I find the more I give myself credit for the small things that nobody knows about in the moment, the more my self worth cup goes up, the more my emotional bank account increases. And I think to be in a. To be a billionaire, you got to be an emotional billionaire first. Because money's energy, right? My own natural energy yield money. So if you're so full, you're so high, you're so elevated, you're so evolved in your own life and you're giving yourself credit. Every day the angels are cheering for you, my friend. Divinity comes down and starts to express itself as you. You will be breathed through, I promise you. But it takes not needing anything from humanity. Like when I think about what Drew needs, I think about going into the heaven realm. And ultimately what I desire is to be rewarded from God, to be rewarded from source, to be rewarded from the angels. I'm not looking for man and women to praise Drew because what praises me is far beyond anything in this realm. You feel that and the same goes for you. And it has been said, my friend. So you feel that in your heart, maybe you just got goosebumps.

So take that. Who are you wanting to get praise from? What do you need praise from? Is it your girlfriend, Your boyfriend? Get rid of all that, it's no longer serving you. And also request what you want, right? Your significant other is not a psychic. Sometimes we think that they are. So if you do want something in the physical 3D, if you're missing a little, ask. If you're missing a little bit physical touch, if you're missing a little words of affirmation, then simply ask. I think oftentimes women are so psychic that they think we should just know as men. And that is simply not so. Make the request and men make the request. And give yourself credit, because giving yourself credit will help you with imposter syndrome. Don't lose sight of self reflection. Every night before I go to bed. I learned this from a Dear Sweet Woman, 5 foot 2, Yucatan Jungle medicine woman. And I'm in the jungle and I'm talking to her and she gave me this nightly ritual to do. And I'm not even going to try to do her accent, but I want you to imagine I'm just here in the Yucatan jungle and she's telling me what she does every night. And she says, imagine you're an eagle and you're flying over the past 24 hours and you're looking at your day. And as you go throughout the day, look for all the good things, all those moments, all those micro moments where love, joy, faith, hope, all these positive element, elevated emotions were happening. And I want you to just observe the past 24 hours as an eagle. So I'm doing it. I get to 30 seconds. I judge myself in 30 seconds in right, that imposter syndrome comes up. And she knew it because she was tracking me. She was tracking my field of where I was in my own consciousness. And she said, all right, you judge yourself. She said, now you get to do it all over again tomorrow. And until you can do this every day without judging yourself, you have to keep doing it. And that's reflection that's doing it every night, remembering the good things that you do. And when you judge yourself, you got to start over. So remember that, that gratitude you're building up, appreciation, you're laying down the framework for the next day. The universe feels that shit that is real, you guys, that's going to bring in those dreams, those desires, those goals that you actually have. When you start living from the place of that. And number three, when you start living this way, it's Going to be a lot easier to dismiss the doubts that may creep in. The little negative Nancy's or the Danny, the downer. I had to neutralize it. You get to dismiss those doubts. You get to realize you are far bigger than anything that you could ever imagine. You get to realize that you're not perfect. Nobody's perfect. Can you tell me one person that is right? One person that's perfect? Anybody that is. Maybe on Instagram they are. But if you knew what was going on inside their minds, inside their own physical body, you would love your life. Because you never know until. Until you really experience it. I think that's one thing. It's definitely dismissing the doubts. It's when the doubts creep in, I think a superpower is reframing it and what we would call it organifi. Simply pivoting the thought. Okay, that's no longer working for me because life is too precious. I want you to repeat that. Life is too precious. And maybe it's because I'm an Aquarian and it's easier for me to observe my emotions. To be actually in the very beginning, to be checked out of my emotions was like a big theme for me. But now I'm embodying them. I'm feeling it, guys. The older I get, I feel more and more. So it's becoming even more important. I think what comes before an emotion is actually a vision. So a vision comes in of lack of scarcity of imposter syndrome or whatever it is. I'm quickly shifting, alright? This isn't getting me to the goal of where I want to be in the moment, because past, present and future, it's all happening right now in the eternal now.

So this isn't getting me where I want to be in the moment. What's the vision? Change the vision. Insert cute baby, insert puppy, insert anything that's going to uplift and elevate your emotion. Now, I'm not saying we can't go into the dark spot to feel it, to heal it. I'm a big believer in that. But I think there's space for that. I think there's setting the frame, there's setting the intention, there's working with a coach, working with somebody to reflect back to you how brilliant you really are, having those brothers and sisters around you that can actually help you elevate your mind in those moments. So when you're at work or you're doing something that requires all of you and those images pop up, shift the image, shift back to giving yourself more credit, shift back to Feeling who you really are in those moments. And as you change the image, what you might realize is that you feel more confident, you feel more peaceful, you feel more love in those moments. And that's what we need more of because that's going to help humanity go to a whole other level. When you help you, it's not about changing the world. It's about changing you so that the world shifts and the world changes. So super, super powerful. So the image changes the emotion and the emotion changes the thought. So go into it. And then last Number four. This is my most powerful transformation tactic for getting rid of imposter syndrome.

Is not to take myself so serious. Why are you taking yourself so serious? It's like this human condition, and the more we go through it, the more serious we get. I've seen so many older people, elders that have lost the zest for life, that get stuck on the wagon of complacency over. They live their day in complete boredom. They live their day sad because there's no new experience. It's as if 99% of what they do is the same thing that they did yesterday. So they live in this place. And I think we begin to take ourselves so serious when we live in a place like that. So what I like to do is shake it up. I like to do new things. I like to go into the unknown. I like to be bold and brave and stand up. Nobody else will. Maybe that's part of who I am. And if you're listening to this, that spark is in you. Because this community is a reflection of the consciousness of the community in which it is. So you and I are a lot closer than you think, my friend. And you're right here. So if you're listening to my voice and you're pretending in your own mind, There we go. There's the espresso machine. Pretending in your own mind that I am a guru or I'm somebody that is above you. Get rid of that bs. I'm just a guide on the side. I'm here with you. You and I are helping humanity. I'm just giving you maybe tools that you haven't heard of before so that you can go off today and inspire another human being, another human soul to elevate their game and take it to the next level as well. Because we're all one. When we boil it down, we're all one. And that leads me into the main point of number four, and that is having a practice where you pray, having a practice where you meditate, having a practice where you connect to God, source, Creator, Jesus, Buddha, whatever it is for you. And wherever you're listening to this on the planet, it's important to connect.

To Spirit, period.

Because Spirit knows for me, God knows long before the limited mind of Drew knows. And do you think when I'm making huge business transactions or looking at investing in other things or bigger moves than I've ever made in the previous version of my life before the eternal now, do you think I'm talking to the limited aspect of Drew? You think he knows better than what's created all the stars, all the rocks that cry out in silence, the wind and all the trees and their majesty. Every single thing in the known universe is absolutely perfect.

So that innate source, that invisible wisdom that's in everything, is in you, and it's in me. It's in all of us. But it takes us silencing our mind.

When we're in imposter syndrome, the monkey mind has just taken over. So come back into the unconscious, because the unconscious, the 99% of what's controlling your life, is actually connected to the superconscious. And that's that innate wisdom. That's your plug. That's the invisible rainbow that's going up into the heaven realm and coming down into you. But how often do you hear those soul messages?

It's like the telephone game you played as a kid. And now I'm dating myself because I didn't really play this. So often we go down our mortal ways and we think that we're these mortals on a rock, floating through space without any connection to something that's more powerful than anything we could ever imagine. So the invisible highway of information starts to derode and decay, and it goes away eventually. So you get so few and far of these messages that are sent to you. Sometimes we go a week, Sometimes people go years. Sometimes people go their whole life. So my goal for you is to recognize that invisible highway that goes up to your higher self that is connected to the superconscious godhead, Brahma, Buddha, Jesus. It's there and it's ever present. And it's actually getting stronger right now. And we can know that. So as you see it getting stronger, just imagine that this golden white light with this cobalt blue filament is now funneling down into you with information that's ripe for the picking. There's fruit floating around you, the most delicious fruit you could ever imagine. And as you take a bite of it, there's more information in it than you could ever gather.

By your limited mortal self. It's infinite and it's alchemizing every single cell in your body to receive more of that information. And it's just funneling down to you in the moment. And it's in every cell of your being. It's in every cell of every living creature around you. And as you look out into the universe, maybe you're in your car, you're outside, even in your house, you start to see that this divine connection has been there the whole entire time, but you missed it. Somewhere along the lines, you got a little bit too serious. And that's okay. There's no self judgment. You get to be a lot kinder to yourself, my friend. So be kind to you. Feel your heart. Put your hands on your heart if you're not driving.

And say, I trust you.

I trust you.

I know you have all the answers. Feel that. I felt the shift. I felt the shift in you. I felt the shift in myself. This has been a powerful morning. So these four things dealing with imposter syndrome, because we've all dealt with it. I've dealt with it. I felt like such a fraud at the beginning of the career of FitLife TV. I didn't know anything about health, you guys. I didn't know anything about fitness. I wasn't a personal trainer. I wasn't a nutritionist. I had an HD flip cam. The only thing I did is I got inspired. Every day I read something that filled my mind up, and I realized that by the time I read, I think it is four books that I knew 99% more than the rest of the world on any given topic. I made myself my own expert. And then I demonstrated it. And because I demonstrated in my own life, my frequency shifted. People felt that long before the physical Drew showed up, the energetic Drew was there and it was real. So people tuned in. People started watching. They took note. So when you're just simply being the demonstration of whatever you've been called to be, know that people feel that and you are the expert in every moment.

And those miracles will be made moment by moment when you wake up to the fact that that there's far more going on outside of you and in you than you could ever imagine when you're connected to the big uni, the universe, God, as we've talked about.

So circle back, connect to that, expect miracles. Move your attention away from imposter syndrome and these limiting beliefs and move it into.

How great would it be if this was created today? Wow. How much good can I handle? How much joy can I take? How Much wonder can I deposit in my brain today?

And as you do this, your life will change, my friend. I guarantee you with that. No, that was helpful for a lot of people. Wow. Oh, I feel the shifts. What a good morning. So we're rolling up here. I'm in Sedona. It's completely pitch black. Still. This is my favorite time to record for you guys. And if you love this, if you got anything out of it, go over to itunes, leave a little review on it, and this will help it get out to more people, the right people, because your frequency is now attracting and has attracted all the right people in your life. And know that, so be around people that elevate you. Sometimes. When an uninitiated projector or somebody with a lot of open energy centers gets around people that experience imposter syndrome, they actually take on imposter syndrome, and they don't even know it's not theirs to take on. And the whole world is sometimes dealing with imposter syndrome, and you don't even know that you're taking on the whole world's imposter syndrome. It's like an email getting sent into your inbox without any spam protection. So just know that it's spam. Just know that it's junk mail. Control, alt, delete that shit.

How good does that feel? What if you knew your mailbox never had any junk mail in it again? Would you just feel so free? No more distractions.

So anyway, this is brother Drew. I love you so much, my friend. I just got to tell you that today. And I know you feel it, but I'm giving you a big virtual hug, and I just want to let you know all is well. Always and always.

We are here in this moment, in the eternal now. You are free.

Mmm. God, I love you. This has been the Drew and you'd show. Make it a great day. We'll see you soon.
