Speaker 1: Hey, beautiful soul, and welcome back to create good luck. Today,
Speaker 1: we're taking the blindfold off something that a lot of
Speaker 1: people secretly believe that bad luck is real, that it's personal,
Speaker 1: and that it's somehow out to get them. But what
Speaker 1: if I told you that most of what we call
Speaker 1: bad luck is just misunderstood energy, misaligned belief, or fear
Speaker 1: that's been given too much power. Today, I'm going to
Speaker 1: debunk some of the most common bad luck myths and
Speaker 1: help you gently shift your mindset into one of empowerment,
Speaker 1: alignment and yes, good fortune, because you don't need to
Speaker 1: wait for luck to find you, You're already the source.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about luck and the stories we tell ourselves.
Speaker 1: Myth number one, I'm just an unlucky person. Let's start
Speaker 1: with the big one. How many times have you heard
Speaker 1: or said this, I'm just unlucky. Things never go my way. Hey,
Speaker 1: here's the truth that belief. It's not harmless, it's not humble.
Speaker 1: It's a low frequency mantra that programs your energy field
Speaker 1: to expect disappointment. The moment you claim unluckiness as part
Speaker 1: of your identity, you create a filter. Even when something
Speaker 1: good happens, you question it. You don't see the blessings.
Speaker 1: Let's flip it. Say this instead. I'm learning how to
Speaker 1: receive in new ways. That keeps you open to good luck,
Speaker 1: even when it shows up in disguise. Myth number two,
Speaker 1: bad luck runs in my family. Now this one runs deep.
Speaker 1: Maybe you grew up hearing we're just cursed. We never
Speaker 1: catch a break. That's just how it is for people
Speaker 1: like us, And without realizing it, that becomes your energetic inheritance.
Speaker 1: But listen, family patterns are powerful, but you are more powerful.
Speaker 1: You are not doomed to repeat what came before. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something I did. I wrote a good
Speaker 1: luck declaration letter. I said, I think my ancestors for
Speaker 1: everything they endured, but I now choose a new energy.
Speaker 1: I claim good fortune. I choose light, abundance and ease
Speaker 1: for me and everyone who comes after me. Say it
Speaker 1: out loud. If you feel it, it ends with me,
Speaker 1: It begins with me. Myth number three, I must have
Speaker 1: done something wrong. Ever had something go sideways and thought,
Speaker 1: maybe this is punishment. Maybe I messed up my karma.
Speaker 1: This one is sneaky and it keeps people stuck in shame.
Speaker 1: But hear this, you are not being punished. Life is
Speaker 1: not a scorecard. Sometimes it's just contrast. Sometimes the bad
Speaker 1: luck moment is redirecting you towards something better. But first
Speaker 1: it has to shake loose what isn't right for you anymore.
Speaker 1: So instead of spiraling into blame, why compassion, ask what
Speaker 1: is this moment teaching me? Then bless it and let
Speaker 1: it pass. Let's go over the top ten most common
Speaker 1: bad luck myths. All right, let's talk about some of
Speaker 1: the most common bad luck myths out there. You've probably
Speaker 1: heard a few of these, maybe even follow them without
Speaker 1: thinking much about why have you heard these? Let's debunk
Speaker 1: them together. Myth by myth, with love and clarity. Walking
Speaker 1: under a ladder. This one's ancient. Some say it's because
Speaker 1: a ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle symbolizing
Speaker 1: the Holy Trinity. Walking through it was seen as disrespectful.
Speaker 1: Others say it's just plain dangerous, which honestly makes more sense.
Speaker 1: It's not a cosmic curse, it's just common sense. How
Speaker 1: to unbelieve it? Say, I walk in safety and clarity.
Speaker 1: No shape can block my blessings. Breaking a mirror seven
Speaker 1: years of bad luck. Nope. Back in the day, mirrors
Speaker 1: were expensive and believe to reflect your soul. Breaking one
Speaker 1: was seen as fracturing your essence. Now you've got seven
Speaker 1: years of cleanup glitter. How to unbelieve it, Say my
Speaker 1: reflection may shatter, but my soul is whole. I am
Speaker 1: not fragile. Black Cats crossing your path link to witchcraft.
Speaker 1: Black cats were believed to be magical or cursed, but
Speaker 1: in many cultures like Scotland and Japan, black cats are
Speaker 1: actually lucky. So if one crosses your path, say thank
Speaker 1: you and send it love. How to unbelieve it, say
Speaker 1: every creature is sacred. Black cats bring blessings, not fear
Speaker 1: opening an umbrella indoors. This one probably came from old
Speaker 1: fashioned umbrellas that were big, awkward, and likely to knock
Speaker 1: over furniture. Today it's more about not poking someone's eye
Speaker 1: out than calling in bad energy. How to unbelieve it,
Speaker 1: Say convenience isn't cursed. I try tr us the space
Speaker 1: around me. The number thirteen Ah Friday the thirteenth. Some
Speaker 1: trace it to Norse mythology or the Last Supper, but
Speaker 1: truly it's just a number, and if you choose to
Speaker 1: see it as powerful instead of ominous, it can become
Speaker 1: a symbol of transformation. How to unbelieve it, Say thirteen
Speaker 1: is just a number, and I give it new meaning.
Speaker 1: Spilling salt. In ancient times, salt was sacred and valuable.
Speaker 1: Spilling it was seen as wasteful and maybe even disrespectful.
Speaker 1: Tossing it over your left shoulder was meant to blind
Speaker 1: the devil. Today, just clean it up and bless your kitchen.
Speaker 1: How to unbelieve it, Say spilt salt doesn't steal my luck.
Speaker 1: It reminds me I have plenty. Knocking on wood actually
Speaker 1: meant to protect your luck, not ruin it. This may
Speaker 1: trace back to pagan tree rituals, tapping on wood to
Speaker 1: invoke nature spirits for support or gratitude. So yes, knock away,
Speaker 1: you're doing ancient magic. Baby. How to unbelieve it or
Speaker 1: honor it? Say I don't fear jinxes. I honor the
Speaker 1: sacred in everything. Step on a crack, break your mother's back,
Speaker 1: childhood rhyme turned superstition, playful, Yes powerful, not really you.
Speaker 1: Stepping on pavement patterns has zero impact on your family's
Speaker 1: spinal health. How to unbelieve it? Say my steps are sacred.
Speaker 1: I don't harm with my stride, I walk in peace,
Speaker 1: shoes on a table. In some cultures this connects to
Speaker 1: funeral customs placing the deceased shoes on a table. So
Speaker 1: now it's seen as inviting misfortune, But really, do you
Speaker 1: want street shoes where you eat? How to unbelieve it, say,
Speaker 1: clean habits create good energy, not fear of symbol. Cutting
Speaker 1: nails on a Sunday based on an old folk rhyme,
Speaker 1: cut them on Sunday, the devil will follow. People once
Speaker 1: believe Sundays were sacred and grooming was too worldly. But
Speaker 1: let's be honest, your nail clippers aren't summoning demons. How
Speaker 1: to unbelieve it, say, caring for myself invites divinity, not darkness. Next,
Speaker 1: let's talk the psychology behind superstitions. Why do superstitions stick
Speaker 1: so hard? So we've looked at some of these common
Speaker 1: bad luck myths and you might be wondering, why do
Speaker 1: we even believe in them? Where does this come from? Well,
Speaker 1: there's actually some interesting psychology behind why superstitions stick with
Speaker 1: us comfort in uncertainty. Think about it, Life can feel
Speaker 1: pretty unpredictable sometimes right. We don't always have control over
Speaker 1: what happens. Superstitions can offer a sense of comfort in
Speaker 1: that uncertainty. It's like having a little rulebook for the universe,
Speaker 1: even if it's not based on logic. For example, if
Speaker 1: you're nervous about an important meeting, you might wear a
Speaker 1: lucky shirt. It might not actually change the outcome, but
Speaker 1: it can make you feel more in control and less anxious.
Speaker 1: It's a way our brains try to find patterns and
Speaker 1: create a sense of order in a world that can
Speaker 1: often feel chaotic. Confirmation bias this is a big one.
Speaker 1: Once we believe in a superstition, we tend to look
Speaker 1: for evidence that confirms it and ignore anything that contradicts it.
Speaker 1: Let's say you believe that breaking a mirror brings bad luck.
Speaker 1: If something negative happens after you break a mirror, you're
Speaker 1: more likely to remember that event and say, see, I
Speaker 1: told you. But if nothing bad happens, you probably won't
Speaker 1: even notice or remember it as strongly. Our brains are
Speaker 1: wired to seek out information that supports our existing beliefs.
Speaker 1: It's like we're selectively filtering our experiences to fit the
Speaker 1: narrative we've already adopted. Cultural transmission of these superstitions aren't
Speaker 1: something we came up with ourselves. They are often passed
Speaker 1: down through our families, our communities, and our culture. We
Speaker 1: hear them from a young age, and they become ingrained
Speaker 1: in our thinking. It's part of our shared folklore and traditions.
Speaker 1: Think about how many kids are told not to walk
Speaker 1: under a ladder. It becomes just something you don't do
Speaker 1: without necessarily understanding why. It's like an invisible set of
Speaker 1: rules we learn simply by being part of a particular
Speaker 1: group or society. Fear of the unknown. Superstitions can also
Speaker 1: be a way to try and explain or avoid things
Speaker 1: we don't understand. If something bad happens and we can't
Speaker 1: find a logical reason for it, we might attribute it
Speaker 1: to breaking a rule or ignoring a superstition. It gives
Speaker 1: us a sense of explanation, even if it's not based
Speaker 1: in reality. It's a way to try and make sense
Speaker 1: of the unpredictable nature of life and perhaps even feel
Speaker 1: like we have some control over potential negative outcomes. It
Speaker 1: taps into our primal desire to avoid pain and misfortune,
Speaker 1: and superstitions offer a seemingly simple way to do that.
Speaker 1: What happens when we believe in bad luck now While
Speaker 1: some of these superstitions might seem like harmless fun, it's
Speaker 1: important to realize that they can subtly create a mindset
Speaker 1: of fear and limitation. If you're constantly worried about bad
Speaker 1: luck lurking around every corner, it can create unnecessary anxiety
Speaker 1: and prevent you from fully embracing opportunities. It can keep
Speaker 1: you focused on what you don't want rather than what
Speaker 1: you do want to create in your life. These seemingly
Speaker 1: innocent beliefs can actually hold us back from living fully
Speaker 1: and confidently. Let's look at how these myths can hold
Speaker 1: you back. Now we've talked about what these bad luck
Speaker 1: myths are and why we might believe them, but let's
Speaker 1: really dig into how these seemingly innocent beliefs can actually
Speaker 1: hold us back from experiencing the good things we desire.
Speaker 1: How they can block our blessings, creating fear and anxiety.
Speaker 1: Constantly worrying about bad luck can keep you in a
Speaker 1: state of low vibration. Think about it. If you're always
Speaker 1: worried about bad luck coming your way for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: that creates a low level hum of anxiety in your system,
Speaker 1: You're operating from a place of fear even if it's
Speaker 1: subtle and energetically, what you focus on expands. If your
Speaker 1: focus is on avoiding bad luck, you're actually giving energy
Speaker 1: to the idea of bad luck. This can lower your
Speaker 1: overall vibration and make you less receptive to positive opportunities
Speaker 1: and feelings. It's like walking around with a little rain
Speaker 1: cloud over your head, just waiting for something bad to happen,
Speaker 1: limiting opportunities. If you avoid certain situations or actions due
Speaker 1: to superstition, you might miss out on positive experiences, like
Speaker 1: avoiding travel on the thirteenth or signing contracts during Mercury retrograde.
Speaker 1: This one is pretty straightforward. If you refuse to travel
Speaker 1: on the thirteenth, you might miss out on a fantastic
Speaker 1: trip or a crucial business meeting simply because of a
Speaker 1: date on the calendar. If you're so worried about breaking
Speaker 1: a mirror that you're overly cautious and tense around them,
Speaker 1: that anxiety can prevent you from being present and enjoying
Speaker 1: the moment. These avoidance behaviors driven by superstition can really
Speaker 1: limit your life experiences. Imagine all the wonderful things that
Speaker 1: could happen on a Friday the thirteenth, if you weren't
Speaker 1: busy hiding under the covers negative self fulfilling prophecy believing
Speaker 1: you'll have bad luck can subconsciously influence your actions and outcomes.
Speaker 1: This is where the power of our minds comes into play.
Speaker 1: If you genuinely believe that something bad is going to
Speaker 1: happen because of a superstition, you might subconsciously act in
Speaker 1: ways that actually bring about that negative outcome. For example,
Speaker 1: if you're convinced that Friday the thirteenth will be a
Speaker 1: terrible day, you might be more on edge, more likely
Speaker 1: to make mistakes or even interpret neutral events negatively, thus
Speaker 1: fulfilling your own prophecy. It's like your belief becomes a
Speaker 1: lens through which you view the world, and you'll naturally
Speaker 1: find evidence to support that belief, even if it wasn't
Speaker 1: destined to happen otherwise, focusing on lack. When you're focused
Speaker 1: on avoiding bad luck, you might inadvertently be focusing on
Speaker 1: what you don't want rather than what you do want.
Speaker 1: Our attention is a powerful tool when your mental energy
Speaker 1: is constantly directed towards avoiding bad luck. Don't spill the salt,
Speaker 1: don't walk under that ladder, you're actually focusing on the
Speaker 1: lack of good fortune. You're dwelling on the negative possibilities
Speaker 1: instead of envisioning and attracting the positive outcomes you desire.
Speaker 1: The law of attraction suggests that what you focus on,
Speaker 1: you attract, So if your focus is on avoiding bad luck,
Speaker 1: that's what you're energetically aligning with. It's like constantly looking
Speaker 1: out for potholes on the road instead of enjoying the
Speaker 1: scenery and focusing on your destination. Undermining your power, Relying
Speaker 1: on external superstitions can take away from your sense of
Speaker 1: personal agency and ability to create your own good luck. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: these bad luck beliefs can make you feel like you're
Speaker 1: at the mercy of external forces, a broken mirror or
Speaker 1: a date on the calendar. This can diminish your sense
Speaker 1: of personal power and your belief in your ability to
Speaker 1: influence your own life. You start to attribute outcomes to
Speaker 1: these external superstitions rather than recognizing your own thoughts, actions,
Speaker 1: and intentions as the primary drivers of your experiences. True
Speaker 1: good luck comes from within, from a positive mindset, clear intentions,
Speaker 1: and taking inspired action. You are the creator of your
Speaker 1: own reality, and relying on superstitions can make you feel
Speaker 1: like a victim of circumstance rather than the powerful manifestor
Speaker 1: you you truly are. Let's shift together, break the spell
Speaker 1: and reclaim your power. Okay, so we've identified some of
Speaker 1: these limiting beliefs around bad luck. Now for the exciting part.
Speaker 1: How do we actually shift these beliefs and start creating
Speaker 1: our own good luck. It's all about taking back your
Speaker 1: power and consciously choosing a more positive and empowering perspective.
Speaker 1: Start by challenging the negative beliefs. The first step is
Speaker 1: simply to question these myths. Ask yourself, is there any
Speaker 1: real solid evidence that walking under a ladder actually causes
Speaker 1: bad things to happen? Have I personally experienced negative consequences
Speaker 1: every single time a black cat has crossed my path?
Speaker 1: Chances are the answer is no. Start to consciously observe
Speaker 1: when these bad luck events occur and notice if anything
Speaker 1: truly negative follows. Often it's just a coincidence, and our
Speaker 1: brains tend to connect unrelated events when we have a
Speaker 1: pre existing belief. Become a MythBuster in your own life.
Speaker 1: When a superstitious thought pops up, gently challenge it. Ask yourself,
Speaker 1: is this really true? Or is it just a story
Speaker 1: I've been told. Recall times when a bad luck event
Speaker 1: didn't actually lead to negative consequences. Take a moment to
Speaker 1: think back. Have you ever broken a mirror and then
Speaker 1: had a perfectly normal week? Have you traveled on Friday
Speaker 1: the thirteenth and had a wonderful experience? Reminding yourself of
Speaker 1: these instances can help to weaken the hold these superstitions
Speaker 1: have on you. It shows you that the world doesn't
Speaker 1: operate on these arbitrary rules of bad luck. Think of
Speaker 1: it as collecting evidence against the superstition. The more evidence
Speaker 1: you find, the less power the belief will have. Next,
Speaker 1: empower yourself with positive intention. This is where you step
Speaker 1: into your role as the creator of your own reality.
Speaker 1: Instead of feeling like you're at the mercy of external
Speaker 1: f forces, recognize the incredible power you have within you.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, your intentions, and your actions are what truly
Speaker 1: shape your experiences. When you focus on positive intentions and
Speaker 1: believe in your ability to create good luck, you're much
Speaker 1: more likely to attract it. Shift your focus from what
Speaker 1: you want to avoid to what you want to create.
Speaker 1: What kind of luck do you desire? Abundance? Joy, love,
Speaker 1: Focus your energy there and finally, use the power of
Speaker 1: positive affirmations and intentions. Start using affirmations that reinforce your
Speaker 1: belief in your ability to create good luck. You could
Speaker 1: say things like I am a magnet for good fortune
Speaker 1: or I create my own luck through my positive thoughts
Speaker 1: and actions. Set clear intentions for the kind of experiences
Speaker 1: you want to have. When you approach the world with
Speaker 1: a positive and expectant attitude, you're more likely to notice
Speaker 1: and seize opportunities. Think of affirmations as reprogramming your subconscious
Speaker 1: mind to expect good things. Intentions are like setting your
Speaker 1: inner compass towards the positive outcomes you desire. Let's explore
Speaker 1: how to create your own good luck rituals. Instead of
Speaker 1: relying on fear based superstitions, why not create your own
Speaker 1: good luck rituals that are rooted in positivity and empowerment.
Speaker 1: These could be simple things that make you feel good
Speaker 1: and set a positive tone for your day or for
Speaker 1: specific events. Here are a few feel good ritual practices
Speaker 1: you can try. Start the day with gratitude. Spend a
Speaker 1: few minutes each morning listing things you're grateful for. This
Speaker 1: shifts your focus to abundance, visualize success before an important event,
Speaker 1: takes some time to visualize it going well. Carry a
Speaker 1: lucky charm with positive meaning. Choose an object that reminds
Speaker 1: you of a happy memory or represents a goal you're
Speaker 1: working towards. The power comes from the positive association, not
Speaker 1: from any inherent magical properties. Partake in small acts of kindness.
Speaker 1: Helping others often creates a positive ripple effect in your
Speaker 1: own life. Connect with nature. Spending time and nature can
Speaker 1: be grounding and uplifting. Reframe bad luck as learning opportunities. Finally,
Speaker 1: try to shift your perspective on what we traditionally call
Speaker 1: bad luck. Instead of seeing challenges as signs of misfortune,
Speaker 1: view them as opportunities for growth and resilience. Every obstacle
Speaker 1: overcome makes you stronger and wiser. Sometimes what seems like
Speaker 1: bad luck in the moment can actually lead to something
Speaker 1: better down the line. It's all about how you choose
Speaker 1: to interpret and respond to those experiences. Think of challenges
Speaker 1: as detours, not dead ends. They might take you on
Speaker 1: a different path, but that path could lead to something
Speaker 1: even more amazing than you originally imagined. Now let's shift
Speaker 1: into good luck energy. Let's end with three affirmations to
Speaker 1: help rewire your beliefs. Repeat these with me. I release
Speaker 1: the myth of bad luck. I'm aligned with grace. Everything
Speaker 1: is working in my favor, even when it looks uncertain.
Speaker 1: My energy is a magnet for peace, joy and unexpected blessings.
Speaker 1: Let those settle into your field. Here's what I want
Speaker 1: you to remember. You were not born unlucky. You were
Speaker 1: born sensitive, perceptive, powerful, and able to rewrite your reality.
Speaker 1: So the next time someone says you're just unlucky, smile
Speaker 1: softly and say not anymore. Remember you are not a
Speaker 1: victim of circumstance or the whims of superstition. You create
Speaker 1: your own good luck through your mindset, your intentions, and
Speaker 1: the actions you take. When you shift your focus from
Speaker 1: fear and avoidance to positivity and empowerment, you open yourself
Speaker 1: up to so many more blessings and opera tunities. So
Speaker 1: my invitation to you this week is to take a
Speaker 1: moment to reflect on any bad luck beliefs you might
Speaker 1: still be holding onto. Maybe it's something we talked about today,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's something else entirely. Once you identify those beliefs,
Speaker 1: I encourage you to consciously choose to release them. Tell yourself.
Speaker 1: I no longer subscribe to this belief. I am the
Speaker 1: creator of my own good fortune. So as we wrap
Speaker 1: up today's episode, I really want you to take away
Speaker 1: this one powerful message. Bad luck myths are often just
Speaker 1: stories we've inherited. They're beliefs that have been passed down,
Speaker 1: but they don't have to define your reality. You have
Speaker 1: the power to choose what you believe. Embrace the understanding
Speaker 1: that you are a powerful magnet for good. Trust in
Speaker 1: your ability to attract abundance, joy, and all the wonderful
Speaker 1: things life has to offer. Step into your day, your week,
Speaker 1: your life knowing that you are in control of your
Speaker 1: own luck and that you are worthy of all the
Speaker 1: good that comes your way. Always know this, your magic
Speaker 1: is real. I'll meet you in the next episode, and
Speaker 1: remember you will create good luck.
