Many people think meditation means having a quiet mind. So, when thoughts keep coming, they assume they are failing. But the mind thinks. That is what it does. Meditation is not about stopping every thought. It is more about noticing where your attention has gone, and gently returning.

But honestly enough to notice how we affect others, how we respond under pressure, and what happens inside us when we are challenged.

Imposter syndrome in business can feel especially strong because business asks us to be seen. You may need to talk about your work. You have to be able to name what you offer. To set prices. To share ideas. To make decisions. To receive feedback.
