THE SPIRIT IN YOU

It’s important to remember that a small step today could lead to a huge turning point tomorrow — no victory is too small. It can be as simple as writing down every accomplishment you’re proud of, rewarding yourself with a getaway or buying that watch you’ve had your eye on. Just remember to keep your rewards within your means. If those Gucci shades are going to hurt you financially and set you back, find another way to celebrate for now.

In my experience, when you cheer yourself on consistently and hold yourself accountable, you will become the best version of yourself — your higher self.

• Understand your ego is all about authenticity. There is such a thing as a superficial ego. But the true essence of the ego is being yourself. Strive to be

authentic and don’t let anyone else validate you. The only person who can prove your self-worth is you. Daily mantras are great for reinforcing positive beliefs and taking your self-image to new heights.

5. Celebrate your victories.

As children, we celebrate every victory no matter how small. From losing a tooth to finishing the last day of kindergarten. But as adults, we often forget to stop and celebrate our achievements. And this can be detrimental to your future success.
