What can you change? Focusing on those areas where change will add most value, try making a list of things you CAN do before thinking of reasons why you can't.
  • Do you feel powerless to change anything? No sense of control? Might it be easier to change how you react than to change your circumstances?
  • What steps can you take to re-build your confidence?
  • Would a role or career change help?.
  • What can you do about work-life balance issues?
  • What strengths or other resources can you call upon that you might be overlooking?
  • How can you improve your ability to manage stress?
  • Do you feel like an imposter? Not really deserve to be where you are?
  • How much pressure do you put on yourself - what are your ''musts'' and ''shoulds''? 
  • Are you taking things too seriously?
