The impulse towards the imposter syndrome is a strong one for many, me included on occasions in my life.
That you are not good enough or have risen above your level is a real feeling. I like to keep Amanda Gutterman's quote in mind at such times.
Experience helps, but self-doubt and the anxiety that comes with it can still creep up on you.
Remaining calm, breathing deeply and following advice I give to others (be kind to yourself) helps me when I get those self-doubt pangs.
Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you. Best to own it on the days when you get eaten.
