Principle Four
Lucky people do not dwell on their ill fortune
When people dwell on the negative events in their lives, they start to feel sad. When people concentrate on positive events from their past, they feel much happier. It is not just a case of memory affecting mood. Mood also affects memory.
Lucky people forget about the unlucky events that have happened to them, and instead focus on their good luck. Their positive memories then make them feel happy and lucky and this, in turn, causes them to think about other times when things worked out well for them. Instead of spiraling downward, they find their memories and moods work together to make them feel luckier and luckier.

Distract yourselfHere are some tips for distracting your thoughts away from ill fortune.
Go to the gym – exercise is a great way to take your mind off your problems and it also lifts your mood. Watch a funny film – choose a film that makes you laugh, and try your best to become involved in the story. Spend about twenty minutes thinking about a positive event that happened in the past – relive the event in your mind and think about how you felt at the time. Listen to music – again, choose something that makes you feel happy, and try to become involved in the music. Arrange to see your friends – talk about what's happening in their lives.Lucky Sponsor
