Feeling unworthy

I quit my job this week. This has been a long time coming. There has been so much thiking about changing my career to move towards a life that is more connected with nature and feels more authentic. Im proud that I‘m taking the leap.
However, now that I told my colleagues that I am leaving, my brain is getting dramatic and many destrucive thoughts have shown up. Here is one example of a model:
C: I quit my job.
T: the person taking over my job will be much better at it than I and my colleagues will discover that I‘ve been an imposter all the time
F: feeling unworthy
A: rumminate, focus on things I struggle with, devalue my achievements, don‘t dare to step into the light, stay in a fixed mindset, talk negatively about myself
R: I don‘t show up to my potential

It feels like quitting my job opened the door to the room in the back of the basement where all the self-critisism has been hiding since I started working on my self-image and becoming more confident and believing in my skills. It scares me that I‘m so easily thrown off my path. Any coaching on this is very welcome.

 

Answer:

 

Let’s do a quick check in – is it true that you’ve been thrown off your path? What else might be true about this thought coming up for you right now?

Growth is not linear. If it was, everyone would do it because it would be an easy, simple, one-and-done thing. Your brain is having some familiar thoughts. In what ways are you so prepared to handle this surprise attack from the back room given what tools you have today?

And finally – we are sending you a BIG hooray for doing what’s in alignment for you! We love to hear about these moves, even when the beginning of the transition feels rocky.
