YOU SPIRITUALITY AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT ARE A HUGE PART OF CULTIVATING A POSITIVE MINDSET AND CREATING A SUCCESS SPIRAL .
more aware of your beliefs , actions , and motivations — and when you have an awareness of something , it ’ s a lot easier to change it if it isn ’ t supporting you .
Before we proceed , let me be clear : when I talk about “ spirituality ,” I ’ m not necessarily talking about religion . To me , spiritual practice is about connecting with whatever forces in your life feel unconditionally loving and supportive . Those forces could be God or Goddess , but they could also be nature , your higher self or soul , the Universe , or something else altogether .

Each evening , I journal about my day , and focus on feeling gratitude for all the positive things that have happened and the success I ’ ve created .

Highly successful people know that mindset influences everything , and so mindset becomes their number one priority . Daily rituals like the one I ’ ve described , tailored to your specific needs and belief system , are a great way to keep the negativity and stressors of daily life from getting you down .
Here are a few simple things you can do every day to cultivate a positive mindset and keep your beliefs , thoughts , and
