Increase Your Luck Factor with These Tools

Why are some people luckier than others? Although many believe that some people are luckier than others, that notion simply isn’t true.  Here are some tools that will help you to increase your luck factor and maybe even lead a charmed life.

Learn To Follow Your Hunches

If you want good luck, a talent for following hunches is one of the most essential tools you can develop.  How many times have you been in a situation where you had a feeling that you should do something in particular or had a feeling about someone you just met?  These gut feelings are hunches.  It is your inner voice talking to you.

A hunch is something you think you know, but you don’t know how you know it.  That is why a hunch comes with that peculiar feeling of “almost not knowing.”  So where do hunches come from?  Some think this inner voice is divine while others believe it is an ESP thing.  Many psychologist think they can explain them without attributing them to the occult or ESP.  They believe that a hunch is a conclusion that is based on real data or objective facts.  A hunch, however, is based on facts you don’t consciously know.  They are stored and processed on a level of awareness just below and behind your conscious thoughts.

New York psychologist, Dr. Eugene Gendlin is an expert on this intriguing subject.  He has spent most of his career studying this not-quit-conscious level of awareness.  He believes that lucky people are those who have discovered how to delve down into this level of awareness and access the huge amount of information, wisdom and knowledge that is stored there.

Either way, hunches are powerful tools that are built into our minds that many of us ignore.  I am sure you have had hunches that you have ignored and then looked back in retrospect and wished that you had followed them.  By being more aware of hunches and gut feelings, we become more apt to follow them.  Here are three major rules you should follow:

Learn to Assess Your Hunches

 A hunch comes unbidden.  It is a strong feeling that something is true or about to happen.  In order to benefit from hunches, you must first examine the situation and the hunch you are feeling.  Here are some easy guidelines that will help.

    Loved this article Bren,
    I have also read that belief that you are lucky and a maintenance of a positive mental attitude to situations of random chance can attract you luck.

    A very interesting article indeed. I can relate to this because often enough, I have had to think twice on a hunch. Many times I acted impulsively and wished later that I hadn’t. Well written article, Bren. Loved it! God bless…

    Very true. I guess I fall into the category of “over-analyzing” my hunches. Hopefully the one I made about my girlfriend’s integrity is correct.

    Good article. I tend not to trust my hunches, but I know that if I could tap into my intuition more I’d benefit. There are some very successful people who rely on their hunches.

    I’ve never seen luck viewed in such a way before.. it was an interesting read for sure. :D

    There’s a lot of trouble I could have avoided in my life if I just listened to my own ‘hunches’…

    I know hunches work. I had a good hunch about Triond, and it didn’t steer me wrong. I did think about it for a couple of days, and my hunch said go for it. Great writing!
