the easiest way is to permeate your negative thoughts with positive ones, to an outrageous, ridiculous extent. when i find myself thinking my art sucks, i say aloud "no i am so good and i am also so pretty and funny" and eventually it works.

I relate so much to your plight!! Being confident is genuinely so difficult, but everyday is a chance to practice. Something I do? Play pretend. Listening to music that pumps me up and wearing an outfit I like usually helps, but the rest is all an elaborate disguise. At first I thought it was delusional for me to think I’m hot shit, and it felt silly to even pretend like it was true. Recently, I’ve actually started to believe it, and I think normalizing that thought in my head through pretending really helped.

something i employ when i'm feeling especially self conscious is the β€œi’m too pretty for” mantra, which is essentially just confidence in the face of self doubt. i.e. if i’m feeling particularly anxious about a social situation ill just repeat to myself, β€œiβ€˜m too pretty to worry about this.” and it usually helps. i call this the paris hilton persona because its basically a media personality that helps when i’m feeling negatively about myself. developing an alter ego is a good way to train your regular ego into being more confident and self assured, at least in my experience! hope this helps

and congrats!! But also instead of thinking "Am i the imposter?" I go "I am the infiltrator, and I'll keep at it until I get caught lol" and then eventually it becomes second nature, and you stop worrying about all that and start worrying about yet another thing instead. Life is funny like that.
