Improve your luck

Maximise chance opportunities
We all have an equal number of chance opportunities it's just thatsome people happen to notice them more easily than others.

Build a network of luck
Lucky people are open to new experiences. More seems to happen tothese people because they constantly bump into the right people andhave positive encounters. Make smiling a habit and adopt an openposture. Talk to people in queues and don't be afraid ifrejection .Make contact with old friends.Deliberately create new experiences in life

Get out of your rut.
Vary your route to work or and from schoolpicking up the kids. Try new and more interesting types of food and instead of watching television listen to the radio (or vice versa). Make a numbered list of six new experiences you've always wanted to try and throw a dice to decide which one to do first.

Listen to your lucky hunches
Instead of trying to work everything out logically, learn to trust your intuition more. That's why lucky people seem so much happier in life they are doing what their heart tells them to do rather than listening to their heads.

Boost your intuition
Try meditating three times a week for 20 minutes. Find a quiet,calm place and make yourself comfortable. Repeat a word or phrase over and over in your mind. Try and focus solely on that word or phrase,and not any other thoughts that you may have about everything else you have got to do. After all, practice makes perfect.

Find out what you feel
Imagine that you are talking about a difficult decision to an old man in the Himalayas who does want to hear the logical argument, just ,what you feel about your options. Close your eyes and listento yourself telling him out loud exactly what feels right and wrong.

Expect good fortune
Have goals but hold them lightly - you can't force these goals into being, but you can match them against the many new opportunities you encounter and take strides forwards.

Set Goals
Write three headings on a piece of paper Short term, Medium term Long term. Make these goals specific, not I want to be happy, but I want a bigger house - know what you want. Make them relatively achievable may be not a mansion, but something with more space than the home where you're living now.

Overcome Fear
Fear of failure means that you might avoid trying to succeed. Take your goal and write a list of benefits - imagine what good would flow from achieving it and write this down. Now write a list of obstacles to overcome in order to achieve our goal - is it reallyworth the effort.

Turn bad luck into good
Your house purchase may have fallen through, but there maybe a better house about to come on to the market. Remind yourself about people in worse situations than you. See if there isn't another way to achieve your goals.

Don't dwell on the negative
Go to a place where you can cry scream or punch something for 20minutes - being able to prevent your emotions will do you good. Visit the gym watch a funny film or arrange to see a friend to take your mind off your problems.
