The Dyslexic Prescription for Your Funky ills

Ever feel like your mind is a repeat offender?
You put it back in what you think is its rightful place and there it goes…
Disrespecting your wishes, throwin’ shade, or talking back at you like you're the help!
You re-live the same emotions and scenarios time and time again.
You feel like a fraud, question your qualifications, and wonder if you belong.
In fact, you’ve gotten so used to being down that it looks like up to you.
You see a trend and it ain’t pretty.

The Fear of Being Found Out
Even when you're open about your dyslexia, there's still that nagging fear:
“What if they think less of me?”
“What if they discover I’m not up to par with the rest of the world?”
When that voice starts whispering: "you're not enough," ask yourself:
"Not enough compared to what?”
“Not enough compared to who?"
or - “What does that even mean?”
Ask yourself!
“Wait... am I actually inadequate? Or am I just jealous of something?
What am I comparing myself to or jealous of?
Is it my neighbor's Cybertruck?
His wife who can organizes everything perfectly?
Or am I jelly over that prancing Golden Doodle of his?
That can't be!
First of all, I just watched a vid on Cybertrucks completely shutting down after going through a car wash - and it's not covered by warranty.
And my neighbor’s Mary Kondo carbon-copy wife? She’s got perfect organization skills but zero sense of humor.
And that backdoor-depositing lawn ruining Doodle came in last at the annual Poodle-Off.
What all of this tells me is that….
the things I’m envious of aren’t even important to me.
So why am I caring about things I don’t care about?”

Inadequate
What's the dyslexic prescription for this funky ill?
A positive charge.
Dyslexics have been running on negative energy too long - comparing ourselves to things we don't care about, yet still fixate on.
If You Can't Spot the Mark, You’re It!
Feeling like an imposter means you need to do more, not less.
Do more to express yourself - not to impress others.
And that "I’m not enough" feeling?
It’s not inadequacy - it's your brain’s 🚨 WARNING LIGHT 🚨 for playing small.

OWN YOUR LEX
The Imposter Syndrome is the FEAR OF SELF.
Not the fear of being found out as "not enough" but fear of admitting to yourself that you're not living into your potential.
This isn’t like your parents or teachers saying “try harder”.
This is your true capacity comin’ in hot from inside and calling YOU out!
After years of masking in plain sight, the Imposter Syndrome is terrifying because it means everything must change.
You have to show up differently, take up more space and own your actual capabilities.

Someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar, someday I'll be so damn much more... cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for - Mayer
There’s a good reason why traditional "you're enough as you are" advice can sometimes feel like garbage.
Because deep down, you've always known you're not operating at full capacity.
And now older with more life on the line, you hoped it was just jealousy or envy of others.
But it’s not….
You're not lacking - you're longing…
Longing to be more of who you’re destined to be and it scares the hell out of you.
So Rock Steady and Hold Position.
That dyslexic prescription for your funky ills?
It's YOU - always has been….
You’re the PRESCRIPTION…
And right on time too - as long as you stay on purpose.
Have a taste of your own Medicine.
