Sitting here eating my tiger's milk bar, I can't help but try and think of something to write about. I know I write mostly for myself and that no one really reads what I write (just looking at the pictures), but I feel a need to be productive so stay with me and lets see where this leads. Today I woke up at 6:15am, the only reason being that I needed to shower and unfortunately what I had picked out to wear last night, did not end up looking good this morning. Hence the many outfits and the final decision resembling what a clown might wear to a circus. Dress from the 6th grade, my friend's sweater that I need to return, polka-dot tights from American Eagle, ruffled socks from Topshop, and my favorite boots that I wear almost every day. And in the name of Saint Patty's day, I've decided to help all of you find things that up your luckiness. I know for me whenever I'm nervous for something I tend to become a bit superstitious. In the past I've had to arrange my pillows a certain way, wear specific rings on specific fingers, and go through a detailed routine each morning. I realized now that each of these "lucky" things probably were completely irrelevant but once your brain believes in something, it takes a while not to. You've all probably heard someone say that they wore their lucky underwear or socks that help them win the game they played, but unfortunately this is all our own superstition. Once in a while we will really be lucky, but that doesn't necessarily happen each time we wear that ring or pair of socks. But since the saying goes "you make your own luck" here are some ideas on how to make yourself believe you are lucky.
1- When you have a big presentation of some sort that you aren't expecting and you end up doing well on it, remember the color of your shirt and wear that color next time you have a big presentation. (this may seem silly, but once you start to do it your mind starts to believe that it really is lucky)
2- Always do something the same before you do something that scares you. For example if you had half a bagel before your interview and you ended up getting to job, eat half a bagel before anything else that you need luck for.
3- If you took a big test using your favorite blue pen, use that blue pen for each challenging test that comes your way(I'm not saying that you shouldn't study though).
Even though as you're reading this you are probably thinking wtf I'm saying, but the message is simple once I sum it up: BE LUCKY BY DEVELOPING A LUCKY HABIT.
