Ways to b lucky!

Lucky tip 1 – Social network: The more people you know the better — you’re more likely to have chance encounters that might bring luck your way. This can be online or by mixing with people in your local community.

Be open to chatting to the people who cross your path throughout the day and strike up a conversation whenever you can. The woman queueing next to you in the Post Office today could turn out to be the person interviewing you for that new job you’ve applied for tomorrow.

By joining a social networking site, you can quickly build relationships with people from all walks of life who you can turn to the next time you need help or advice.

Lucky Tip 2 – Break with routine: Take a different route to work; start your shop in a different part of the supermarket; listen to a different radio station than usual.

By breaking with how you normally behave, it helps you become more flexible and open. That way you’re more likely to first notice and then take hold of an opportunity when it comes your way.

RESILIENCE

Lucky people tend to see the positive side of their ill-fortune. They imagine how things could have been worse and so feel better and more positive about what just happened.

Lucky Tip 1 – Always try to turn a negative into a positive: One person in Prof Wiseman’s study who considered himself lucky arrived with his leg in a plaster cast and described how he had fallen down a flight of stairs.

He said this incident had made him feel even luckier because he could have broken his neck but had only damaged his leg.

Lucky Tip 2 – Count your blessings: Lucky people tend to have a glass half-full mentality.

INTUITION

Unlucky people tend to rush from one activity to another and surround themselves with noise and distractions that stop them from listening to their inner voice.

Lucky people often spend time each day sitting calmly and thinking about what they want from life.

Lucky Tip 1 – Calm down: At least once a day sit in a quiet room and dwell on the way your life is going. If you have a problem, take time to explore in your head different ways you might fix it. Ask yourself whether the approach you want to take is the right or wrong thing to do and then follow your own advice.

Lucky Tip 2 – Trust your gut instinct and act on hunches when it comes to people and situations: This is your inner voice trying to tell you how to act and more often than not it will be right. Lucky people listen and act upon what their gut tells them — they also use it as an alarm bell and a reason to consider their next move.

OPTIMISM

Unlucky people think that the universe has something against them, and have a victim mentality when things go wrong. They also expect bad luck to come their way. Lucky people are eternal optimists — they presume they will succeed and. if they don’t, they are able to shrug failure off with an “it wasn’t meant to be” attitude.

Lucky Tip 1 – Imagine yourself being lucky before an important meeting or phone call: If you believe in yourself and have a positive outlook then good luck is more likely to come your way.

Lucky Tip 2 – Remember bad things do happen to lucky people but what is important is the way they react: They consider unlucky events to be mere bumps on the road of life rather than disasters that will ruin them. And they believe their next dose of good luck is around the corner.
