Just after Christmas in 2022, I was out for my morning walk, it was a calm yet chilly morning in the desert, and I was plugged into the Mel Robbins podcast. I am not much of a podcast listener, but I am a big-time, long-term fan of Mel’s. She talked to Dr. Tom Myers about synchronicity and its unfolding science on this show. During this fascinating conversation, they turned to the topic of luck, and it was right then that an idea planted itself in my mind.
For the next few weeks, I started to read blog posts, newspaper articles, and books on the art and science of luck to see if there was some common thread. This a piece of insight that I could use to conduct my own luck experiment. Then on a stormy day in mid-January 2023, it all came together, and my luck experiment was born. Now I am about to share with you the same game, and my Patreon members are now playing, so if you are ready to bring more luck into your daily life, keep reading.
Step one: Defining Luck
Let’s define what luck is because not all luck is considered good. Some people can have just as much bad luck as others seem to have sound. Through all my research, I found that there are two very distinct types of luck.
- The first is what we consider socially acceptable luck. We agree on whether we consider it good or bad luck. Winning a million dollars is generally considered good luck. Being the only person on your street to have your car hit by lightning is also socially considered bad luck. We all tend to agree on the parameters by which we measure luck.
- The second is what I like to call personal luck. This is when we define our luck on our own terms. In other words, what we consider good and bad luck is very personal to us, and we are not looking at collective definitions to determine the state of our luck. Often, personal luck is getting your favorite parking spot at your office every day or having the same cheerful waitress at your local cafe. These small mundane experiences fall into the personal luck category and make up much of the evidence we gather and use to define ourselves as lucky or unlucky people.
Now that we have our definitions sorted let us move on to the next step of the luck experiment.
Step Two: Be in it to win it.
One of the things that stood out to me when I was researching luck was that people who were considered good luck magnets only did one thing different from everyone else, they participated daily. In other words, they played the odds and bent them in their favor. This is fabulous because it shows how we have some control over how much luck we can bring into our lives. Want more good luck? Then play the luck game often. One of the things I am finding in my own luck experiment is that you do not have to obsess about this and do it every day. But the more you play, the more evidence of luck you will gather, which helps build your good luck attraction powers.
Step Three: Grab your luck creation tools.
For my own experiment, I used a small crystal and essential oil as my luck tools. You can select any crystal or stone you want, but if you are really into crystals and crystal magic, select one that you know is already associated with luck. A nice piece of tiger’s eye, citrine, or even malachite might be nice. Just make sure the piece is small enough to carry in your pocket. As for the oil, experiment with this one. I have been using plain orange oil and some fancy luck-attracting blends to see what happens. So far, they all seem to work fine.
The other tool I have for my personal experiment is a Lucky Tracker, a worksheet I designed for myself and Patreon people. But you can use a normal notebook and track your experiment’s progress daily. This tracker makes you play the game as often as possible, which, as I stated above, is one of the keys to creating more luck. You have to play the game to see the evidence. A simple luck tracker will keep you focused and allow you to examine all the evidence you collect.
Step Four: Do it!
Pick up your crystal, put a drop of oil on it, rub it between your palms, and say, “ today, good luck flows to me. No matter where I go, good luck flows to me. In all my conversations, good luck is there. I am in the flow of good luck. This is going to be my lucky day.” put the crystal in your pocket and see what happens.
The best part about an experiment is that you are just gathering information. You are not attached to an outcome either way. Leaving you to play, have fun and enjoy yourself. The more times you play this luck game, the more information you will gather and the more luck you will see flowing into your life. Remember what I said in the beginning? The people who consider themselves lucky play the game more than everyone else.
So, what are you waiting for?
Go and get lucky!
