Silencing your inner critic to find success  
Controlling and rebuilding our minds is no simple feat. To create a strong mindset, you have to start by knowing your worth. Then you can begin to build your belief and identify your direction in life.
 
The three elements of success are:
The right mind is the key to unlocking your potential The right vehicle is how you’re able to build your success The right time is what makes your success work  
You may need to rewire your brain to find success. Start by immersing yourself in the lifestyle you want and believing that you CAN do anything. You don’t need to know everything when you start, but when you push out of your comfort zone, you will grow and figure out how much you DO know!
 
How to build a success mindset  
To build a success mindset, you can start by taking small steps every day. Create a vision of where you want to go and how you’ll get there by focusing on your dream. One of the simplest things you can do is create an affirmation to keep you motivated. Focus on whatever you’re struggling with the most, and then review it as often as needed.
 
Affirmation Examples:
My fears are melting away My mind is open to the idea that my business is growing I forgive those who have harmed me  
To take it a step further, create some daily rituals to help you gain the skills you need to succeed. Some examples to help you start are:
 
Commit to making a daily change focused on your goal Implement rituals that will get you in the right mindset Identify what areas you need to build and focus on those things to rebuild yourself Find resources that are focused on your goal and study them every day Show up as who you are and invest energy in your goals  
How your environment affects your inner dialogue  
Is your environment positive with uplifting people? Or is it negative with people continually making you feel differently than you want to feel?
 
To help you create a positive environment, consider the following:
Surround yourself with the best types of people and remember that you’re the sum of the five people that you surround yourself with the most. Listen, read, and speak positivity to infuse it into every part of your life. Be self-aware, trust the process, and know that we’re all meant to change and grow over time. Remember that you have the power to take ownership of your life. Ask for help when needed! Don’t compare yourself to other people. You never know what is going on behind closed doors. Learn how to catch yourself when you’re headed for a negative cycle to pull yourself back together. Awareness is key! Fall in love with learning.  
It’s important to remember to try not to focus on WHAT happens to you, but rather how you RESPOND to it. You can rebuild your mindset at any time!
