Q: Get in the habit of addressing critical thoughts as soon as they arise. This can help keep symptoms of imposter phenomenon in check. For instance, whenever you find yourself dwelling on a failure, or thinking about how you could have done more, stop and remind yourself that no one is perfect.  This is another healthy reminder: persistent self-doubt will make it harder for you to focus on your next goal. Calling yourself out may be enough to keep you from dwelling too much on negativity, especially when you have a task as hand. If a negative thought persists, simply tell yourself, “this is imposter phenomenon talking” - you’ll be surprised how much it may help. You may be allowing concepts like luck or chance to explain achievements that were the product of your skills and hard work.  Fortunately, you can re-write the mental programming that allows thoughts like these to undervalue your worth. Start by asking yourself: Did I play a role in my achievements? Hint: Of course you did!  When you accomplish something, congratulate yourself. Sure, anyone can look back at everything they’ve done and imagine how they would do it differently - but it’s simply unhealthy and unproductive to do so. Instead, quietly remind yourself you’ve earned the right to feel good about what you achieved. Similarly, thank people for any compliments they offer. While you may be tempted to wave off a compliment with a comment like “Oh, I just got lucky”, stop yourself from doing so and say something like “Thanks, I really appreciate that”. For instance, maybe you’re an absolute coding whiz, but you fumbled a comment in your company meeting, and have found yourself feeling like you don’t measure up to your peers.  Well, remind yourself who’s doing all of the coding. You may be more capable, and more valuable, than all the board-room smooth-talkers combined. Re-frame failures too. When you do swing and miss, don’t let self-doubt beat you up about it. Instead, say to yourself, “This is a learning opportunity, and now I’m better prepared to address a similar scenario next time.” It’s likely worth sitting down and making a realistic assessment of your abilities. Often, people who suffer from imposter phenomenon are intelligent, and have achieved a high amount of success. In turn, some high achievers find themselves setting their personal expectations for themselves at unrealistic levels - even a genius isn’t good at everything.  It may even help to write out the things you've accomplished, as well as the skill you know you can use to accomplish even more. Whenever self-doubt does arise, visualize yourself completing a task or nailing a presentation. Not only does this recall past accomplishments, it can help prepare you for the next one. If nothing else, picturing success may help keep you calm and reduce symptoms of imposter phenomenon
A: Check self-criticism as it arises. Re-frame how you think of your achievements. Don't let minor slip-ups bring you down. Remind yourself of what you do well.

Article: Just like your children, you are likely to feel a range of emotions at the news of your ex's remarriage. Feelings from anger, to relief, to jealousy, to happiness are all normal.  Allow yourself to feel your emotions fully. In some ways, the new marriage symbolizes the last nail in the coffin of your relationship with your spouse, and the myriad emotions you are feeling reflect the similarity between your ex's remarriage and the experience of grieving a death of a loved one. Let yourself mourn. Vent in private, in a journal or to a friend, but keep your emotions in check when you're with your ex or the new spouse. It is not necessary to burden them or to create awkwardness in your relationship, and exploding in anger or sadness will not have any positive consequences. The remarriage of an ex can be a long, emotionally taxing road, and you may find that you need someone to talk to. Research suggests that people who have a strong support network are better able to handle the stresses of divorce and remarriage.  Ask a trusted friend or mentor. Someone who is a good listener, who is rational and gives great advice, and who won't judge you or tell you ex things you have said is a good choice. It also helps if the friend has been through a similar situation, so that they know what you are feeling. Sometimes you may find that you need to talk to someone, but have no one in your life that fits the description of a trusted confidant. Consider professional counseling. Many insurance plans will pay for visits with a licensed therapist or psychologist. Ask your friends or acquaintances for referrals, or read reviews online to find a good one. Alternatively, if you are a member of a church or faith based group, many have counselors on staff. Now that your ex has fully and completely moved on from your relationship with one another, it is time for you to do the same. Even if you have remarried, use this time to focus on your own life rather than the lost relationship with your ex. Embracing change and opportunity can help you fully move on. Set new goals for things you'd like to accomplish in the coming year. Perhaps try a new sport, or pick up a new craft or art form. Maybe you'd like to try ballroom dancing, or rock climbing, or modeling. By enlarging your own life and goals, you can take your focus off of your ex's life and put it squarely on your own, which is right where it belongs.

Q: If you don't have the basics of anatomy and physiology down, you can easily get lost when studying pathology. So if you know this week in your pathology class you're going to be studying respiratory pathology, review lung anatomy and physiology the weekend before. That way you can focus on the pathology information, instead of trying to remember stuff you learned in past semesters. Pathology, like most medical fields, requires that you learn a lot of information. One of the best ways to commit all that information to memory is spread out your studying. Review your class notes each day, and rewrite notes on particularly difficult topics. You can also re-teach yourself concepts by going over your notes and speaking out loud as if you were explaining the concept to someone else. As you're reading, look up pathology terms you don't know, even if they're not directly related to the topic you're studying. Chances are that term will come up again, and knowing how it functions in different contexts will help you learn pathology more generally. You can use a paper dictionary, or a medical dictionary website like MediLexicon. There will always be people in your class who get certain things more quickly than you do, and you will always get things more quickly than others. Forming a study group helps you benefit from your classmates' strength. Get together once or twice a week to study together.
A:
Brush up on the anatomy and physiology associated with the pathology you're learning. Space out your studying. Keep a medical dictionary near you while you study. Form a study group.
