1. You are allowed to change your mind.

A lot of people look at changing your mind as some kind a character flaw. But changing your mind is a necessity as you gain new information. Don’t just stick with things because you think you can’t — or aren’t supposed to — change your mind.

This is something that successful people do all of the time that keeps them successful. Don't be afraid to tweak things or change direction as you gain more wisdom.

2. It pays to speak positively to yourself.

Many people develop some sort of negative feedback loop as they enter adulthood. Sometimes, I think the negativity slips in just because we’re afraid to think too highly of ourselves.

It almost seems more “grown up” to be hard on oneself, and then childish to take pride in who we are. But negative self-talk doesn’t help anyone.

Practice repeating empowering mantras to yourself instead. You might feel silly about it at first, but this habit will help shift your mindset into a happier and more positive one.

3. A daily ritual can be grounding.
