Imposter syndrome affects millions of people. It appears to be more prevalent in women. The BetterMe approach can help you overcome imposter syndrome.
"NICOLA Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland, admitted that she suffers from imposter syndrome and how politics can leave her feeling vulnerable.
In a revealing interview for Sunny Govan Radio, the First Minister discussed being a woman in the senior political arena, confessed that she is her own worst critic, and opened up on... how her marriage to Peter Murrell has surprised her.
Host Anne Hughes began by asking Sturgeon if she ever felt like an imposter. “Like many women in senior positions, yes I absolutely do,” said Sturgeon. “However, I think it gives women a bit of humility too and reminds you that you have to work hard for what you need to achieve.
“It keeps you grounded. Do I deserve this? Could I do better? It makes you more accountable for your own work.”
The First Minister added that it is often more difficult for women in politics to adopt an approach which isn’t criticised: “It’s a double whammy!” she said.
“You get criticised for not really being a woman and then get criticised for being weak if you adopt a feminine style. When it comes down to it, you just have to find your own style of delivery that works for you.” - Full story in The National

Cognitive function was significantly associated with physical mobility, wisdom and satisfaction with life. Physical health was associated with mental well-being, resilience and younger age. Mental health was linked to optimism, self-compassion, income and lower levels of loneliness and sleep disturbances.

We often hear about rehab and remedies after something happening which affects our wellbeing.
The BetterMe approach is all about prehab! Take control of your wellbeing with our programmes.
New research featured in Scientific American suggests mental illnesses are so common that almost everyone will develop at least one diagnosable mental disorder at some point in their life. Most of these people will never receive treatment, and their relationships, job performance and life ...satisfaction will likely suffer. Meanwhile the few individuals who never seem to develop a disorder may offer psychology a new avenue of study, allowing researchers to ask what it takes to be abnormally, enduringly mentally well. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/…/ mental-illness-is-f…/
