WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.960 Hey, beautiful soul, and welcome back to create good luck. Today, 2 00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.440 we're taking the blindfold off something that a lot of 3 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:11.960 people secretly believe that bad luck is real, that it's personal, 4 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.679 and that it's somehow out to get them. But what 5 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.719 if I told you that most of what we call 6 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.640 bad luck is just misunderstood energy, misaligned belief, or fear 7 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.320 that's been given too much power. Today, I'm going to 8 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.679 debunk some of the most common bad luck myths and 9 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.000 help you gently shift your mindset into one of empowerment, 10 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:37.840 alignment and yes, good fortune, because you don't need to 11 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.640 wait for luck to find you, You're already the source. 12 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.000 Let's talk about luck and the stories we tell ourselves. 13 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.439 Myth number one, I'm just an unlucky person. Let's start 14 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.920 with the big one. How many times have you heard 15 00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:00.079 or said this, I'm just unlucky. Things never go my way. Hey, 16 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.040 here's the truth that belief. It's not harmless, it's not humble. 17 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.200 It's a low frequency mantra that programs your energy field 18 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:15.200 to expect disappointment. The moment you claim unluckiness as part 19 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.079 of your identity, you create a filter. Even when something 20 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.159 good happens, you question it. You don't see the blessings. 21 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.400 Let's flip it. Say this instead. I'm learning how to 22 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.680 receive in new ways. That keeps you open to good luck, 23 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.519 even when it shows up in disguise. Myth number two, 24 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:39.719 bad luck runs in my family. Now this one runs deep. 25 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.799 Maybe you grew up hearing we're just cursed. We never 26 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.920 catch a break. That's just how it is for people 27 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.799 like us, And without realizing it, that becomes your energetic inheritance. 28 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:56.359 But listen, family patterns are powerful, but you are more powerful. 29 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.599 You are not doomed to repeat what came before. Let 30 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.760 me tell you something I did. I wrote a good 31 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.879 luck declaration letter. I said, I think my ancestors for 32 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.520 everything they endured, but I now choose a new energy. 33 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.800 I claim good fortune. I choose light, abundance and ease 34 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.159 for me and everyone who comes after me. Say it 35 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.039 out loud. If you feel it, it ends with me, 36 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:26.520 It begins with me. Myth number three, I must have 37 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.719 done something wrong. Ever had something go sideways and thought, 38 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.080 maybe this is punishment. Maybe I messed up my karma. 39 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.400 This one is sneaky and it keeps people stuck in shame. 40 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.199 But hear this, you are not being punished. Life is 41 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.759 not a scorecard. Sometimes it's just contrast. Sometimes the bad 42 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:53.520 luck moment is redirecting you towards something better. But first 43 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.560 it has to shake loose what isn't right for you anymore. 44 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:02.400 So instead of spiraling into blame, why compassion, ask what 45 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.360 is this moment teaching me? Then bless it and let 46 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.080 it pass. Let's go over the top ten most common 47 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.039 bad luck myths. All right, let's talk about some of 48 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.439 the most common bad luck myths out there. You've probably 49 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.039 heard a few of these, maybe even follow them without 50 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:24.560 thinking much about why have you heard these? Let's debunk 51 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:29.039 them together. Myth by myth, with love and clarity. Walking 52 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.560 under a ladder. This one's ancient. Some say it's because 53 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.280 a ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle symbolizing 54 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.080 the Holy Trinity. Walking through it was seen as disrespectful. 55 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.919 Others say it's just plain dangerous, which honestly makes more sense. 56 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.879 It's not a cosmic curse, it's just common sense. How 57 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.919 to unbelieve it? Say, I walk in safety and clarity. 58 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.319 No shape can block my blessings. Breaking a mirror seven 59 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.479 years of bad luck. Nope. Back in the day, mirrors 60 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.680 were expensive and believe to reflect your soul. Breaking one 61 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.919 was seen as fracturing your essence. Now you've got seven 62 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:12.479 years of cleanup glitter. How to unbelieve it, Say my 63 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.360 reflection may shatter, but my soul is whole. I am 64 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.160 not fragile. Black Cats crossing your path link to witchcraft. 65 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.639 Black cats were believed to be magical or cursed, but 66 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.879 in many cultures like Scotland and Japan, black cats are 67 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.279 actually lucky. So if one crosses your path, say thank 68 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.600 you and send it love. How to unbelieve it, say 69 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.160 every creature is sacred. Black cats bring blessings, not fear 70 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.399 opening an umbrella indoors. This one probably came from old 71 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.759 fashioned umbrellas that were big, awkward, and likely to knock 72 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.560 over furniture. Today it's more about not poking someone's eye 73 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.120 out than calling in bad energy. How to unbelieve it, 74 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.759 Say convenience isn't cursed. I try tr us the space 75 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.040 around me. The number thirteen Ah Friday the thirteenth. Some 76 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.199 trace it to Norse mythology or the Last Supper, but 77 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.639 truly it's just a number, and if you choose to 78 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.759 see it as powerful instead of ominous, it can become 79 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.680 a symbol of transformation. How to unbelieve it, Say thirteen 80 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.000 is just a number, and I give it new meaning. 81 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:28.240 Spilling salt. In ancient times, salt was sacred and valuable. 82 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.879 Spilling it was seen as wasteful and maybe even disrespectful. 83 00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.560 Tossing it over your left shoulder was meant to blind 84 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.959 the devil. Today, just clean it up and bless your kitchen. 85 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.000 How to unbelieve it, Say spilt salt doesn't steal my luck. 86 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:49.519 It reminds me I have plenty. Knocking on wood actually 87 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.879 meant to protect your luck, not ruin it. This may 88 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.319 trace back to pagan tree rituals, tapping on wood to 89 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.120 invoke nature spirits for support or gratitude. So yes, knock away, 90 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:05.560 you're doing ancient magic. Baby. How to unbelieve it or 91 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:10.879 honor it? Say I don't fear jinxes. I honor the 92 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.839 sacred in everything. Step on a crack, break your mother's back, 93 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.680 childhood rhyme turned superstition, playful, Yes powerful, not really you. 94 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.079 Stepping on pavement patterns has zero impact on your family's 95 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:32.639 spinal health. How to unbelieve it? Say my steps are sacred. 96 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.360 I don't harm with my stride, I walk in peace, 97 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.120 shoes on a table. In some cultures this connects to 98 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:46.360 funeral customs placing the deceased shoes on a table. So 99 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:51.600 now it's seen as inviting misfortune, But really, do you 100 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.879 want street shoes where you eat? How to unbelieve it, say, 101 00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:01.319 clean habits create good energy, not fear of symbol. Cutting 102 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.759 nails on a Sunday based on an old folk rhyme, 103 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.319 cut them on Sunday, the devil will follow. People once 104 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.120 believe Sundays were sacred and grooming was too worldly. But 105 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.560 let's be honest, your nail clippers aren't summoning demons. How 106 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:23.959 to unbelieve it, say, caring for myself invites divinity, not darkness. Next, 107 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.120 let's talk the psychology behind superstitions. Why do superstitions stick 108 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.720 so hard? So we've looked at some of these common 109 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.399 bad luck myths and you might be wondering, why do 110 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.720 we even believe in them? Where does this come from? Well, 111 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.879 there's actually some interesting psychology behind why superstitions stick with 112 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.639 us comfort in uncertainty. Think about it, Life can feel 113 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.319 pretty unpredictable sometimes right. We don't always have control over 114 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.120 what happens. Superstitions can offer a sense of comfort in 115 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.959 that uncertainty. It's like having a little rulebook for the universe, 116 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.800 even if it's not based on logic. For example, if 117 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.639 you're nervous about an important meeting, you might wear a 118 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.879 lucky shirt. It might not actually change the outcome, but 119 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.279 it can make you feel more in control and less anxious. 120 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.040 It's a way our brains try to find patterns and 121 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.600 create a sense of order in a world that can 122 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:25.319 often feel chaotic. Confirmation bias this is a big one. 123 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.879 Once we believe in a superstition, we tend to look 124 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.360 for evidence that confirms it and ignore anything that contradicts it. 125 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.279 Let's say you believe that breaking a mirror brings bad luck. 126 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.480 If something negative happens after you break a mirror, you're 127 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.320 more likely to remember that event and say, see, I 128 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.000 told you. But if nothing bad happens, you probably won't 129 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.399 even notice or remember it as strongly. Our brains are 130 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.960 wired to seek out information that supports our existing beliefs. 131 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.960 It's like we're selectively filtering our experiences to fit the 132 00:08:55.039 --> 00:09:01.639 narrative we've already adopted. Cultural transmission of these superstitions aren't 133 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.200 something we came up with ourselves. They are often passed 134 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.960 down through our families, our communities, and our culture. We 135 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.360 hear them from a young age, and they become ingrained 136 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.399 in our thinking. It's part of our shared folklore and traditions. 137 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.320 Think about how many kids are told not to walk 138 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.480 under a ladder. It becomes just something you don't do 139 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:27.000 without necessarily understanding why. It's like an invisible set of 140 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.919 rules we learn simply by being part of a particular 141 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:36.080 group or society. Fear of the unknown. Superstitions can also 142 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.320 be a way to try and explain or avoid things 143 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.960 we don't understand. If something bad happens and we can't 144 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.559 find a logical reason for it, we might attribute it 145 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.679 to breaking a rule or ignoring a superstition. It gives 146 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.480 us a sense of explanation, even if it's not based 147 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.240 in reality. It's a way to try and make sense 148 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.000 of the unpredictable nature of life and perhaps even feel 149 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:02.720 like we have some control over potential negative outcomes. It 150 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:06.879 taps into our primal desire to avoid pain and misfortune, 151 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.600 and superstitions offer a seemingly simple way to do that. 152 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.399 What happens when we believe in bad luck now While 153 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.399 some of these superstitions might seem like harmless fun, it's 154 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.519 important to realize that they can subtly create a mindset 155 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:25.360 of fear and limitation. If you're constantly worried about bad 156 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:29.799 luck lurking around every corner, it can create unnecessary anxiety 157 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.600 and prevent you from fully embracing opportunities. It can keep 158 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.840 you focused on what you don't want rather than what 159 00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.399 you do want to create in your life. These seemingly 160 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.480 innocent beliefs can actually hold us back from living fully 161 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.399 and confidently. Let's look at how these myths can hold 162 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.519 you back. Now we've talked about what these bad luck 163 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.480 myths are and why we might believe them, but let's 164 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.559 really dig into how these seemingly innocent beliefs can actually 165 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.759 hold us back from experiencing the good things we desire. 166 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.120 How they can block our blessings, creating fear and anxiety. 167 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.600 Constantly worrying about bad luck can keep you in a 168 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.960 state of low vibration. Think about it. If you're always 169 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.200 worried about bad luck coming your way for whatever reason, 170 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.159 that creates a low level hum of anxiety in your system, 171 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.960 You're operating from a place of fear even if it's 172 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:28.039 subtle and energetically, what you focus on expands. If your 173 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:32.080 focus is on avoiding bad luck, you're actually giving energy 174 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.240 to the idea of bad luck. This can lower your 175 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.480 overall vibration and make you less receptive to positive opportunities 176 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.879 and feelings. It's like walking around with a little rain 177 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.960 cloud over your head, just waiting for something bad to happen, 178 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.440 limiting opportunities. If you avoid certain situations or actions due 179 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.720 to superstition, you might miss out on positive experiences, like 180 00:11:55.840 --> 00:12:00.639 avoiding travel on the thirteenth or signing contracts during Mercury retrograde. 181 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.799 This one is pretty straightforward. If you refuse to travel 182 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.840 on the thirteenth, you might miss out on a fantastic 183 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.879 trip or a crucial business meeting simply because of a 184 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.159 date on the calendar. If you're so worried about breaking 185 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.679 a mirror that you're overly cautious and tense around them, 186 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.000 that anxiety can prevent you from being present and enjoying 187 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:25.720 the moment. These avoidance behaviors driven by superstition can really 188 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:30.200 limit your life experiences. Imagine all the wonderful things that 189 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.879 could happen on a Friday the thirteenth, if you weren't 190 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:38.000 busy hiding under the covers negative self fulfilling prophecy believing 191 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.840 you'll have bad luck can subconsciously influence your actions and outcomes. 192 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.399 This is where the power of our minds comes into play. 193 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.720 If you genuinely believe that something bad is going to 194 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.559 happen because of a superstition, you might subconsciously act in 195 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.639 ways that actually bring about that negative outcome. For example, 196 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.399 if you're convinced that Friday the thirteenth will be a 197 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.080 terrible day, you might be more on edge, more likely 198 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:08.639 to make mistakes or even interpret neutral events negatively, thus 199 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.759 fulfilling your own prophecy. It's like your belief becomes a 200 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.759 lens through which you view the world, and you'll naturally 201 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.960 find evidence to support that belief, even if it wasn't 202 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:23.360 destined to happen otherwise, focusing on lack. When you're focused 203 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.519 on avoiding bad luck, you might inadvertently be focusing on 204 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.480 what you don't want rather than what you do want. 205 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:34.080 Our attention is a powerful tool when your mental energy 206 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:38.679 is constantly directed towards avoiding bad luck. Don't spill the salt, 207 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.600 don't walk under that ladder, you're actually focusing on the 208 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.320 lack of good fortune. You're dwelling on the negative possibilities 209 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.879 instead of envisioning and attracting the positive outcomes you desire. 210 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.240 The law of attraction suggests that what you focus on, 211 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.919 you attract, So if your focus is on avoiding bad luck, 212 00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:01.639 that's what you're energetically aligning with. It's like constantly looking 213 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.039 out for potholes on the road instead of enjoying the 214 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:09.480 scenery and focusing on your destination. Undermining your power, Relying 215 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.960 on external superstitions can take away from your sense of 216 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.759 personal agency and ability to create your own good luck. Ultimately, 217 00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.679 these bad luck beliefs can make you feel like you're 218 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.840 at the mercy of external forces, a broken mirror or 219 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:27.799 a date on the calendar. This can diminish your sense 220 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.639 of personal power and your belief in your ability to 221 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.639 influence your own life. You start to attribute outcomes to 222 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:38.120 these external superstitions rather than recognizing your own thoughts, actions, 223 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:42.759 and intentions as the primary drivers of your experiences. True 224 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:48.000 good luck comes from within, from a positive mindset, clear intentions, 225 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.679 and taking inspired action. You are the creator of your 226 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.759 own reality, and relying on superstitions can make you feel 227 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:59.840 like a victim of circumstance rather than the powerful manifestor 228 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:03.679 you you truly are. Let's shift together, break the spell 229 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.639 and reclaim your power. Okay, so we've identified some of 230 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:12.000 these limiting beliefs around bad luck. Now for the exciting part. 231 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.200 How do we actually shift these beliefs and start creating 232 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.639 our own good luck. It's all about taking back your 233 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.960 power and consciously choosing a more positive and empowering perspective. 234 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.960 Start by challenging the negative beliefs. The first step is 235 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.320 simply to question these myths. Ask yourself, is there any 236 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.159 real solid evidence that walking under a ladder actually causes 237 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.960 bad things to happen? Have I personally experienced negative consequences 238 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.720 every single time a black cat has crossed my path? 239 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:47.600 Chances are the answer is no. Start to consciously observe 240 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.639 when these bad luck events occur and notice if anything 241 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.919 truly negative follows. Often it's just a coincidence, and our 242 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.240 brains tend to connect unrelated events when we have a 243 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.639 pre existing belief. Become a MythBuster in your own life. 244 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.559 When a superstitious thought pops up, gently challenge it. Ask yourself, 245 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.320 is this really true? Or is it just a story 246 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.039 I've been told. Recall times when a bad luck event 247 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:18.240 didn't actually lead to negative consequences. Take a moment to 248 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.320 think back. Have you ever broken a mirror and then 249 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.279 had a perfectly normal week? Have you traveled on Friday 250 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:30.159 the thirteenth and had a wonderful experience? Reminding yourself of 251 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.080 these instances can help to weaken the hold these superstitions 252 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.240 have on you. It shows you that the world doesn't 253 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.519 operate on these arbitrary rules of bad luck. Think of 254 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.360 it as collecting evidence against the superstition. The more evidence 255 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.919 you find, the less power the belief will have. Next, 256 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:54.600 empower yourself with positive intention. This is where you step 257 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.279 into your role as the creator of your own reality. 258 00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.799 Instead of feeling like you're at the mercy of external 259 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.120 f forces, recognize the incredible power you have within you. 260 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.319 Your thoughts, your intentions, and your actions are what truly 261 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.119 shape your experiences. When you focus on positive intentions and 262 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.319 believe in your ability to create good luck, you're much 263 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.880 more likely to attract it. Shift your focus from what 264 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.720 you want to avoid to what you want to create. 265 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.640 What kind of luck do you desire? Abundance? Joy, love, 266 00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:27.960 Focus your energy there and finally, use the power of 267 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:33.759 positive affirmations and intentions. Start using affirmations that reinforce your 268 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.519 belief in your ability to create good luck. You could 269 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:39.200 say things like I am a magnet for good fortune 270 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.359 or I create my own luck through my positive thoughts 271 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:46.799 and actions. Set clear intentions for the kind of experiences 272 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:49.440 you want to have. When you approach the world with 273 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.400 a positive and expectant attitude, you're more likely to notice 274 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:58.960 and seize opportunities. Think of affirmations as reprogramming your subconscious 275 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.720 mind to expect good things. Intentions are like setting your 276 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.200 inner compass towards the positive outcomes you desire. Let's explore 277 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.200 how to create your own good luck rituals. Instead of 278 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.759 relying on fear based superstitions, why not create your own 279 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:20.000 good luck rituals that are rooted in positivity and empowerment. 280 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.519 These could be simple things that make you feel good 281 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:25.880 and set a positive tone for your day or for 282 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:30.400 specific events. Here are a few feel good ritual practices 283 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.839 you can try. Start the day with gratitude. Spend a 284 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.079 few minutes each morning listing things you're grateful for. This 285 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:42.920 shifts your focus to abundance, visualize success before an important event, 286 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.279 takes some time to visualize it going well. Carry a 287 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.079 lucky charm with positive meaning. Choose an object that reminds 288 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.599 you of a happy memory or represents a goal you're 289 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.640 working towards. The power comes from the positive association, not 290 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.400 from any inherent magical properties. Partake in small acts of kindness. 291 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:05.759 Helping others often creates a positive ripple effect in your 292 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:10.119 own life. Connect with nature. Spending time and nature can 293 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:16.440 be grounding and uplifting. Reframe bad luck as learning opportunities. Finally, 294 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:19.799 try to shift your perspective on what we traditionally call 295 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.960 bad luck. Instead of seeing challenges as signs of misfortune, 296 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.880 view them as opportunities for growth and resilience. Every obstacle 297 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:33.119 overcome makes you stronger and wiser. Sometimes what seems like 298 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.000 bad luck in the moment can actually lead to something 299 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.240 better down the line. It's all about how you choose 300 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:44.400 to interpret and respond to those experiences. Think of challenges 301 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.839 as detours, not dead ends. They might take you on 302 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.440 a different path, but that path could lead to something 303 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:55.039 even more amazing than you originally imagined. Now let's shift 304 00:19:55.079 --> 00:20:00.200 into good luck energy. Let's end with three affirmations to 305 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:05.279 help rewire your beliefs. Repeat these with me. I release 306 00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:10.799 the myth of bad luck. I'm aligned with grace. Everything 307 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.079 is working in my favor, even when it looks uncertain. 308 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.759 My energy is a magnet for peace, joy and unexpected blessings. 309 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.680 Let those settle into your field. Here's what I want 310 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:27.680 you to remember. You were not born unlucky. You were 311 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:34.960 born sensitive, perceptive, powerful, and able to rewrite your reality. 312 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:39.119 So the next time someone says you're just unlucky, smile 313 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:43.759 softly and say not anymore. Remember you are not a 314 00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:47.559 victim of circumstance or the whims of superstition. You create 315 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.720 your own good luck through your mindset, your intentions, and 316 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.759 the actions you take. When you shift your focus from 317 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:58.000 fear and avoidance to positivity and empowerment, you open yourself 318 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.559 up to so many more blessings and opera tunities. So 319 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.720 my invitation to you this week is to take a 320 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:07.559 moment to reflect on any bad luck beliefs you might 321 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.240 still be holding onto. Maybe it's something we talked about today, 322 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.759 or maybe it's something else entirely. Once you identify those beliefs, 323 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:20.519 I encourage you to consciously choose to release them. Tell yourself. 324 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:24.279 I no longer subscribe to this belief. I am the 325 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:28.559 creator of my own good fortune. So as we wrap 326 00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.039 up today's episode, I really want you to take away 327 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:34.839 this one powerful message. Bad luck myths are often just 328 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:38.039 stories we've inherited. They're beliefs that have been passed down, 329 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:43.319 but they don't have to define your reality. You have 330 00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.799 the power to choose what you believe. Embrace the understanding 331 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.279 that you are a powerful magnet for good. Trust in 332 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:54.720 your ability to attract abundance, joy, and all the wonderful 333 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.960 things life has to offer. Step into your day, your week, 334 00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:00.440 your life knowing that you are in control of your 335 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:02.640 own luck and that you are worthy of all the 336 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.599 good that comes your way. Always know this, your magic 337 00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:10.200 is real. I'll meet you in the next episode, and 338 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:13.079 remember you will create good luck.
