Do you feel that your life is not working out the way you want it to work? Are you looking for more good fortune, well-being and better luck?
Well, here’s one thing you need to realize.
The reason why luck does not seem to favor you is because of your constant preoccupation with “negative” thinking which is the direct result of limiting thoughts in your subconscious mind. The sad part is that a vicious cycle gets formed – the negative thinking causes events that are not conducive and these events further aggravate the sense of negativity.
In order to attract good luck into your life, it’s important to have a shift in the way you perceive your reality in your mind (your subconscious mind to be precise).
Here are 11 habits that will help you make this perspective shift and thereby attract massive good luck everywhere you go and in everything you do.
1. Stop Judging Your Present Reality as Bad
If you want to attract more good luck and well-being into your life, it’s important that you start changing your relationship with the “present” moment.
No matter what form the present moment takes, stop opposing it in your mind and allow it to be the way it is.
It seems highly counter intuitive to the mind to accept a reality that it perceives as “bad”, but it’s this acceptance that opens the gateway to bring in new solutions and good luck into your existence.
2. Believe That You Are Lucky
Become conscious of all the things you believe in and try to change the negative beliefs into positive ones. If you believe deeply that you are not a lucky person, then that’s what reality with reflect back to you.
You can easily achieve this by becoming conscious of negative belief patterns.
For example,whenever you find your mind producing a thought like ‘I am not lucky‘ replace that thought with a counter thought. Say ‘I am lucky and I attract all good things in life‘.
Another simple technique is to visualize yourself as lucky. For example, think of a situation and visualize a positive outcome. Think of yourself attracting all the right things, meeting the right people and finding the right opportunities. Visualization can be extremely powerful in changing your negative beliefs into positive ones.
3. Write up a Page of Appreciation Everyday
This is a powerful practice if one has the trust to follow it on a daily basis.
All you need to do is write up a page appreciating everything in your life in the present moment. Just focus on finding things to appreciate about what you already have in your life. Don’t focus on the things you are expecting in the future.
When you look at appreciating the present moment, it automatically aligns you with your life (which is always “what is” right now) and this alignment causes you to attract good luck.
You will notice things beginning to work out for you more and more as you begin practicing the habit of appreciating and expressing gratitude.
Your future is always a direct reflection of your state of being in the present. So you just focus on being appreciative of the present moment, your future will automatically be benevolent and things will always keep working out for you – in other words you will keep attracting good luck into your life.
4. Don’t Dwell on a Negative Thought for More than 30 Secs
You need to be really conscious for this, so you catch your mind every time it drifts off into a negative pattern of thinking.
Our minds are conditioned to expect the “worst” out of any reality and it takes conscious disassociation to stop being dragged into the negative thought pattern. Whenever you see your mind complaining, worrying or getting anxious, just disassociate with it and focus your attention on your sense perceptions.
For example, when you get tensed, focus your attention on your breathing or your heart beats.
5. Read or Listen to Positive Affirmations
Affirmations help reprogram your subconscious mind by removing limiting beliefs and empowering you with positive beliefs. Write down a set of affirmations and read them out every day.
You can also listen to positive affirmations. There are plenty of free ones available on Youtube. Examples of some good affirmations are as follows:
- I am lucky and I attract good things in life.
- Everything is perfect.
- I am worthy.
- I love myself.
- I attract luck every moment.
- I love my life.
- I always make the right decisions.
- I am always at the right place at the right time.
- Everyday I get more and more lucky.
- I have a positive vibration and hence attract positive vibes.
- Luck follows me wherever I go.
- I feel really lucky today.
6. Begin to Meditate
Meditation can help you become a calmer person and get better control over your mind and the thoughts it generates. When you have better control, you will be able to easily identify negative thought patters and replace them with positive ones.
A simple way to meditate is to sit in a comfortable place and focus your attention on your breath or a sound for a few minutes everyday. The more you practice this kind of focus, the better you will be able to understand and control your mind.
7. Carry a Lucky Charm
According to research by Prof Richard Wiseman, rituals such as touching wood or carrying a good luck charm can change your vibration to positive and help you attract positive vibes. This was also seen to be the case by another study done by psychologists at the University of Cologne in Germany.
Some lucky charms you can carry with you include Gemstones, Hamsa Hand, evil eye bracelet, Number charms, Acorns, Scarabs, Crab Scales, Silver Coins, Feng Sui Coins, Triangle Shape, Dried Bay Leaf, etc. You can carry these charms in your pocket or wallet.
8. Stop Playing the Blame Game
Do you find yourself constantly complaining and blaming others (or the external) for your current state of being?
For example, ‘I am like this because of the government‘ or ‘I am like this because nobody loves me‘.
Realize that when you blame others, you are giving your power away to them. You are literally programming your subconscious mind to believe that others control your life and that you do not have the power to bring positive changes into your life. So you are making yourself feel powerless.
Take your power back by believing that you are the master orchestrator of your life and that you have the power to change your life for the better and reach your highest goals. Others (or the external) don’t matter.
9. Change Your Negative Self Talk
Realize that you are your biggest critique. Stay aware of how you critique yourself – what kind of language do you use? Do you constantly keep saying to yourself that you are no good? or that you are not deserving of good things in life?
Stay aware of your negative self talk and change it to something positive.
For example, if you find yourself saying, ‘I am no good’, change it and say, ‘I am the best, I am perfect.’
By changing your negative self talk, you are changing the negative beliefs lodged deeply in your subconscious mind.
10. Look for the Positives in the Negatives
When we look at negative events as events that help us grow stronger, our perception towards these events change. We start learning from these events and use what we have learned to grow from within. This way a negative situation is no longer looked at as negative. This sets positive expectancy as our vibrations change to positive.
11. Do More of What Feels Good
Feeling good, energized, joyful, and positive generally raises your vibration. When you raise your vibration, you attract more good-vibe people, places, and things into your life.
So maybe you feel great after going for a walk outside. Or perhaps you love playing with animals, or you feel at peace after taking a bath. Why not work these things into your life more often– even just for a few minutes? You’ll likely notice that overall, you feel more positive and healthy, and you’re more likely to be on the receiving end of good luck as a result.
12. Follow Feng Shui Tips, Such as Placing an Elephant Figurine in Your House
Feng Shui experts tout loads of tricks to keeping your home a lucky, light-filled place. One such tip is to keep an elephant figurine as decoration; elephants are symbols of strength and wisdom. As such, Feng Shui experts advise using them as a protective charm over your household.
Other Feng Shui tricks for attracting good luck include keeping a bowl of citrus fruits in your house, placing a horseshoe above your door, growing lucky herbs and hanging white string lights over your front door.
13. Practice Decisiveness, Even if You Aren’t 100% Sure of Your Decisions
You may have heard the Latin proverb: “Fortune favors the bold.”
We can sometimes get so caught up in striving to make the “right” decision, trying with all our might to make no mistakes whatsoever, that we find ourselves paralyzed. We lose our ability to take decisive action, and opt to do nothing, rather than risk making a mistake.
When we become indecisive, we miss out on opportunity, and therefore, luck has very little chance to enter our lives. If you find yourself in this boat, try practicing decisiveness– even when you’re afraid you may make a mistake. Practice trusting yourself to bounce back from a mistake if you do make one, and you’ll find that your decisiveness leads you towards far greater opportunities in the long run.
14. Serve People Without Any Expectation of Reciprocation
What you give is what you get, and as such, you’re more likely to attract good luck into your life if you offer goodness to other people, without expectation of receiving anything in return. So, in order to attract more luck towards you, try practicing random acts of kindness to those in your life (or even to strangers).
With that said, it doesn’t serve anyone to give from an empty cup! Don’t serve others so much that you feel depleted. Be sure to practice self-care, and to only give from overflow.
15. Use Crystals
Certain crystals, when cleansed and charged properly, are ideal for attracting positive energy and good luck into your life. You might try carrying these crystals around with you, placing them around your home, or wearing jewelry that contains them:
- Citrine attracts luck into your financial situation. Use or wear this crystal for wealth luck.
- Smokey quartz is a grounding crystal, meaning that wearing or using this crystal can help you to feel more stable and steady. This is likely to attract more abundance towards you.
- Green aventurine is known as the “stone of opportunity”, and works best to attract favorable circumstances towards you when you wear it close to your body.
16. Use Worry Stones
Worry stones are smooth polished gemstones that carry positive words or messages engraved on them. You can carry them in your pocket and feel them whenever you want to change your focus from a negative thought to a positive uplifting thought associated with the engraved word. You can easily find worry stones on sites like amazon.com
17. Become More Self Aware
The more self aware you become the easier it is to become free of negative beliefs that you hold in your subconscious mind. We already discussed meditation which can be really useful in your self awareness journey but here are 39 more ways to become self aware.
18. Work with positive symbols
Symbols speak directly to your subconscious mind and are very powerful. Surround yourself with good luck symbols that you find empowering. For instance, you can use a positive symbol as your desktop background so you look at it each time your start your computer. You can also use a tapestry with a symbol and hang it in your bedroom so the first thing you see in the morning in that symbol.
Here’s a list of positive symbols you can check out.
19. Work with Gods
Many cultures have Gods dedicated to good luck and prosperity. For instance, the Hindu Goddess of wealth and prosperity – Goddess Lakshmi. You can select a God of your choice and choose to pray to that God. Again, in this case, when you are working with Gods, you are influencing your subconscious mind and this can be very effective.
20. Move Your Body
One simple way to release negative energy from your body and raise your body’s vibration is to move your body. You can shake, stretch, dance, jump, jog, run, breathe deeply and a lot more. Find out what exercises that you enjoy doing and do that on a daily basis. Make sure it is simple and fun to do.
21. Know That Life is a Stream of Well-Being
There is just one movement of energy present in the universe and this movement is one of well-being. Thinking negative thoughts, focusing on negative events, complaining and resenting what is, causes you to constantly oppose the flow of life. You can attract good luck into your life once you are in alignment with the stream of well-being.
The only way to align with life is to stop being “negative”, to ignore any thoughts of lack or resentment that the mind might throw up, and to just realize that whatever is happening is fine just the way it is because life is always moving in the direction of your well-being.
To attract good luck is about becoming a magnet of positivity. Look at appreciating what is, just relax and let go of your need to control reality, and let life bring you the gifts that you so richly deserve.
