Have you heard of the Lucky Girl Syndrome that is taking over TikTok? It is basically a mash-up of the law of attraction and the law of assumption. So when we think positively we will attract positive outcomes or what we assume to be true becomes a reality.
What we love most of the Lucky Girl Syndrome is that there are certain components that can help up cultivate a positive mindset. Two of those would be manifestation and positive affirmations. Not only does it improve our self-esteem but also our mental health. But, how does it do so?
When we focus our energies on what we desire and how that would bring us real emotional change, there is clarity and a point where we make choices and change our thought habits into more positive ones that ultimately support the manifestation as well.
When doing these exercises, it’s important to use positive language in the present tense and don't forget to actually apply the work.
A few ideas to get inspiration flowing:
I am so lucky.
Everything always works out the best for me.
My dreams are coming true.
I am attracting unconditional love.
I have everything I need.
While our self-perception does impact how we live our lives, it’s definitely not the only thing impacting it—something that’s important to keep in mind here.
Luck is also influenced by systemic biases and privilege.
Finally, we want to make sure that we don’t “lucky girl” ourselves into toxic positivity territory. There is so much pressure around staying positive nowadays. Many people are left feeling inadequate if they’re unable to maintain a positive attitude at all times.
There is space for a range of emotions to exist. We can recognize the benefits of a positive attitude and at the same time, normalize negative feelings.
