7 Incredible Ways to Improve your Luck

incredible-ways-to-improve-your-luck

Is luck entirely beyond your control? Not really. There is research to suggest that you can improve your luck. Yes, professor Richard Wiseman who wrote the book Luck Factor studied over 1,000 people

Here is what Richard had to say about luck, “What the work shows as a whole is that people can change their luck. Luck is not something paranormal in nature. It’s something that we are creating by our thoughts and behavior.”

You can change your luck by changing your thoughts, behaviour and actions. You attract your own luck by what you do. It’s that simple. In other words, luck is not entirely beyond your control.

There are a few exceptions like people who are born in a very rich family or rare talent, more often than not majority of the successful people work hard to earn their luck.

Lucky people make the most of what they have got, they persevere, learn and work hard. They remain open minded and committed and do everything they can to attract luck. Here are seven incredible ways to improve your luck.

1. Be Optimistic

Expect the best. Believe that you are lucky. People who believe they are lucky are more receptive to the opportunities around them.  It sounds strange, but it is true.

Being optimistic is especially important when you’re going through tough times. As a result, most people give up. But optimistic people believe that they will see through the tough times and eventually rewarded with great things in life.

Several studies have shown that optimistic people tend to make the most of the situation, they are less stressed and more likely to succeed in their chosen fields.

2. Feed Your Mind with Positivity

Feed Your Mind with Positivity

Lucky people surround themselves with positive people. They like being with people whose frequency matches theirs.

Lucky people build the right networks and circles. They build good relationships by being trustworthy. They know the value of long lasting relationships.

Your circle of friends, colleagues, books you read and your attitude towards things defines who you are. If you are surrounded by positivity, chances are that you will be able to take on bigger challenges in life.

Lucky people understand the value of training their minds to look at positive in any situation. The most successful people don’t delve on negative things, but see things from a positive perspective.

3. Be Open to Opportunities

In his book Luck Factor, Wiseman writes, “Lucky people create, notice, and act upon the chance opportunities in their lives.”

Lucky people attract opportunities by doing what they do very well. They get noticed because of the sheer quality of the work they do. They are hard to forget, because they push the limits and offer something extra ordinary.

In other words, everything that you do is a great chance for you to create your own opportunities in life. When you are doing the ordinary and mundane, your opportunities will be limited. But when you step out of your comfort zone, you will see your opportunities will multiply.

So keep trying new things, push yourself to learn, improve and accept hard challenges. As Stemen says, “I think the luckiest people are those who are always open … and that allows them to seize opportunities as they happen.”

4. Believe in Karma

Believe in Karma

Karma is a fundamental tenet of Hinduism and Buddhism. It basically says every action has a consquence. If you do good, you will get good things in life and vice versa. What goes around, comes around.

People who believe in karma know that whatever they will do will come back to them. It is a simple yet very powerful way to live a good life. Even the likes of Steve Jobs believed in karma and it helped them shape their philosophy in life.

You cant do bad things to other people and expect happy outcomes for yourself.

People who venture out to help others, are kind hearted, make meaningful connections, & do good create their own luck.

5. Trust your instincts & Go with the flow

In a study, 90% of lucky people said they trusted their intuition in regards to personal relationships and nearly 80% said that it played a large role in their career choices. Unlucky people trusted their gut far less. They scored roughly 20% less in those areas.

Lucky people tend to make the big choices with their deep hearted conviction and trust their intuition. It can make a big difference in the eventual outcomes of life.

Lucky people devote themselves fully to anything they do. They create opportunities by doing their best and working with absolute flow.

The most notable scientific inventions, masterpieces of art and great work in any field owes to intuition and flow. Great work often attracts great opportunities too.

6. Show Up

Show Up

Lucky people show up and do whatever it takes. They know the value of work ethic, showing up and doing their day to day tasks with integrity.

Lucky people increase their chances of winning by playing consistently to the best of their abilities. They know the value of persistence and show up day in day out to achieve what they want.

In any field, when you give more, you receive more. Luck favors those who are well prepared.

7. Great Energy

Lucky people never grouse what they are doing. They are infact passionate about what they are doing. It helps them create tremendous energy and enthusiasm that rubs off on other people as well.

When you work with lot of passion and energy, you attract great possibilities in your life. The sheer involvement and enthusiasm with which you undertake things can dictate the results.

Passionate people are able to endure the difficult moments, because they have a very deep commitment with the things they are doing.

Lucky people never blame the circumstances, situations or other people. They do their best wherever they are and keep rising in life.

No one is lucky all the time. But lucky people make the most of the opportunities they get, take the initiative and go for it when they can.

“Continued meditation practice is associated with enduring improvements in sustained attention,” Anthony Zanesco, a psychologist at the University of Miami, and his colleagues report in the seven-year study.

Meditation can help you to decrease stress, connect with your deeper self and improve your ability to focus over sustained periods. When you meditate, your brain goes into a relaxed state and gets much needed rest.

Siegfried Othmer, former president of the neurofeedback division of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, conducted neurofeedback research on meditation. Those who meditated for 20 minutes or more showed an average gain in IQ of 23 percent.

Meditation helps you to focus better, activates your brain in surprising ways that can improve your intelligence and focus.

2.Do Fewer things better

improve focus

Your brain works best when things are structured and organised. A todo list where you prioritise your focus areas for the day is a great way to kickstart things.

Planning and prioritizing your tasks will help you relieve stress, reduce burden on your brain to remember them and help you stay organized.

Studies have shown that multitasking lowers productivity. It is better to do one thing at a time and give your complete focus and attention to it.

Our attention is limited and when we are constantly switching between tasks, it depletes our focus. You can’t check facebook, texts and smartphone  and do quality work at the same time.

Undivided attention is a great force, use it well to accomplish great things.

3.Mental Energy

Our energy reserves are limited. The harder the tasks, the more attention and energy they demand of us. It is better to schedule things in such a way so as to focus your energy on the toughest tasks.

A short break, coffee, casual walk or connecting with nature can help you to focus better too. When your mind is relaxed, it is easier to concentrate.

Relax your mind and conserve your energy reserves. Don’t be a slave of your gadgets, social media and smartphone, use them wisely.

4.Positive Outlook & Simplicity

When you think positively, it releases endorphins, which give you more energy. A positive mindset increases our energy and enthusiasm for doing things.

This is the reason people who enjoy and love their work are able to go on longer hours than others. In the process, they accomplish amazing things that other people marvel at.

The greatest musicians, authors, scientists, programmers and other top professionals have very simple routines. They eliminate things which are not important and focus only on the core things.

A decluttered desk can be a great boon for you. It simplifies things, makes your mind free from distractions, where you can think more clearly and stay focused to do great things.

5.Mindfulness and Staying in the Present

Mindfulness and Staying in the Present

If you want to make a difference with your work, you have to develop deep expertise, knowledge and achieve excellence. You need to be agile and fully alert.

Present moment awareness is when your mind is focused on what you are doing, it is neither thinking of the past, nor the future. Being in the present allows you to do top quality work.

Scientists have found that you can improve your ability to focus by changing your behavior. You can reduce interference and distractions that might take away your attention from your current activity. For e.g. phone, social media, constant emails and chatter etc.

“The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.”
