Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day, through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.
I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I’ve been thinking about this phrase ‘conscious luck’. What is conscious luck? What if we told ourselves the story that we are lucky, even if we don’t 100% believe it yet. There are some theories in positive psychology that positive psychology is a force for happiness and joy. And if you feel lucky, if you believe you are lucky, you will be lucky, you will see more luck?
Hmmm….
I heard in a podcast episode that I will link, that if we can be specific about our luckiness, like I am really lucky when it comes to love or business opportunities, and then watch how the energy in those components of your life starts to rub off. I do this with silly things, like I am so lucky I always find a good parking spot. It drives my husband crazy that I always seem to get the perfect spot, but I really believe that I am lucky in parking.
Think of luck, not in the superficial way, but in the way that “luck” is word that we use in the stories that we tell ourselves. So if we’re going to make up a story, why not make it up good, right?
So, I guess this is how we think about luck. It's mindset. The mind is such a powerful thing and there are positive psychologists that say you can train your brain to believe you are a lucky person, and when you do, you will see more luck.
Tomorrow, we’re continuing this chat about luck and the flip-side to luckiness.
