I wrote a feature for local indie publication, This is Reno. An excerpt:
“Last weekend, conservative radio host Monica Jaye joined with Fight for Nevada to hold a march in downtown Reno. On their website, FFN encourages sending organization head Angela Blass donations via Venmo and CashApp. They also accuse Nevada COVID-19 Task Force Chairman Jim Murren of being involved in the Oct. 1 [Route 91 shooting in Las Vegas] in “various ways,” alleging he knowingly sold stock in MGM weeks before the shooting. The shadowy organization’s primary mission of attempting to recall Governor Steve Sisolak began in mid-February.
As Jaye led a crowd of approximately 100 marchers downtown, participants told reporters they lost jobs, had not received unemployment, and did not see why they should remain at home. While attendees’ anger is valid, it is misdirected by zealous charlatans capitalizing on uncertainty and economic suffering to push their own agenda.It’s no secret the unemployment system is an outdated mess, and Sisolak has not communicated well overall with the public. But by following Pied Pipers like FFN and Jaye, they are manipulated into placing us all at significant risk.”

Impostor syndrome is a psychological condition where people are unable to believe in their successes. Thus, despite the evidence that points to the fact that they are skilled, capable and competent they write this off as temporary – or timing and good luck. Thus, they constantly struggle with feeling like a fraud.
So what are some ways that you can counteract this syndrome?
1. Admit this is something that you suffer from. When we know we’re not alone, and our symptoms have a name it can help disperse the feelings of anxiety and shame.
2. Distinguish between facts and feelings. Everyone feels stupid and inept at times. That doesn’t mean we’re stupid. Our feelings aren’t facts.
3. Don’t demand perfection. It is good to set goals and have high standards for yourself. However, it’s unhealthy to obsess over every little thing. You’ll simply waste a lot of time and never feel quite satisfied.
4. Take a look at the rules you have imposed upon yourself. Are you saying to yourself: “I have to always get it right”; or ”I should never ask for help”; or “It is bad to make mistakes”? These are misguided rules that undermine your self-esteem. They set you up for failure as they close the door to help.
5. Change the tapes in your head. Instead of constantly repeating faulty self-destructive thoughts (such as “Wait till they discover just how useless I am”) replace it with a thought that builds esteem and confidence.
6. Don’t look to others to affirm your success. Don’t look to other people to rate and judge your work. Set your own personal goals, and note the progress you have made.
7. Fake it till you make it. Almost every individual who succeeds in life has a time when they’re acting, as they don’t feel confident. It means that they’re still learning, and are not afraid to try.
