Boost Your Luck With These 6 Simple Strategies

In life some people appear lucky. In Feng Shui it often nappears as if things happen by magic for some.
Co-incidences seemly appear from nowhere.

You're thinking about a new direction for your business and nyou just happen to be introduced to the perfect person to nhelp you move in that direction. It's tempting to say n“what a co-incidence, I was just thinking about that”.
When it happens to someone else you might say “They are nalways lucky”.

Co-incidence? Naturally lucky? I don't think so. I see nit as putting out some energy and then being open to nsynchronicity. And, once you start noticing it - it's neverywhere. In Feng Shui you set your intention, anchor nthat in your environment with an enhancement, and then nyour job is to get out of your own way and be open to the nmessages and synchronicity that are occurring around you.

The Helpful People area of the Bagua is a favorite of mine.
Chance meetings, helpful people appearing from nowhere - njust waiting for your energy to reach out. It occurs in all nareas of the Bagua, and all parts of your life.

In his book “Luck Factor” Dr Richard Wiseman writes nthat it’s not magic that is responsible for good or bad nfortune, but your own ways of thinking and behaving. Why ndo some people appear consistently lucky and others nconsistently unlucky?

Wiseman came up with 4 main principles that characterize nlucky people:

1. Lucky people are skilled at creating, noticing and nacting on chance opportunities

2. They make effective decisions by paying attention to ntheir intuition and gut feelings

3. They are sure the future is going to be full of good nfortune

4. They employ various psychological techniques to cope nwith, and even thrive upon, the ill fortune that comes ntheir way

As to why lucky people encounter so many chance nopportunities, Wiseman conducted an experiment.

He gave newspapers to equal numbers of people who nconsidered themselves lucky, and those who considered nthemselves unlucky, and asked them to count how many photos nwere inside.

The unlucky people took about 2 minutes to count the nphotos, while lucky people took only a few seconds. This nwas because on Page 2 there was a message that read, “Stop ncounting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper”.
The words were in large print and took up half the page but nthe unlucky people didn’t tend to see them. They also nmissed the message in the middle of the page telling them nto stop counting, to win $700.

For sure some things happen purely by chance - but if you nare the sort of person who consistently encounters bad nluck, you have to ask yourself why this is happening.

You CAN improve your luck. Here are some tips to help you nincrease synchronicity and make the most of it when it nhappens:

1. Get very clear about your intention and create nenvironments that inspire you. Surround yourself withnwhat you need to work your best – a clutter freenenvironment, music, inspiring people.

2. Be open to new experiences

3. Build your intuitive abilities by clearing your mind nof other thoughts - for example, meditating, journaling, nand trusting your intuition and acting on it.

4. Even in the face of failure, see it as part of the nprocess. Often when you look back you can see how that nexperience was a necessary part of your journey. If you nresist your experiences it makes it more difficult to move non. It is easier to embrace them when you know there is a nreason, even if you can’t see it right now.

5. Don't dwell on ill fortune - take control of the nsituatio

6. Work with a coach - it will help you make the most of nyour experiences - the good and the seemly bad. You will nbe amazed at what is going on in your life once you tune nin!

These are the actions lucky people take - how about you?
