The brain is easily fooled by your words and actions. When you hear the word "luck," you may think of it as unscientific, faux-scientific, spiritual, or fishy. However, the question of whether or not you are lucky settles on two things.

• How you interpret events.
• The probability of an event occurring.

Each of these involves psychology, brain science, and statistics, so the subject of "luck" is the subject of rigorous academic and scientific research. I Based on Different World Research's will introduce tips on how to increase your luck scientifically.

*I'm lucky!" I think.

"I am lucky!"
There are many people who say that and really believe it. And really, aren't those people lucky and happy people?

This may seem like just a belief, but it produces more than just a belief.

Lysan Dermisch and his colleagues at the University of Cologne had their subjects putt 10 times at golf and told only half of them, Group A, that "your ball is a lucky ball."[1]

The results showed that Group A had an average cup-in rate of 6.75 out of 10 balls, while Group B, which was not told anything, had an average cup-in rate of 4.75 out of 10 balls.

This is a surprising 35% higher cup-in rate for A than for B.

Of course, thinking that you are a lucky ball does not make you a better golfer.

In the case of this experiment, Group A's cup-in rate increased more than Group B's due to the psychological effect of believing that they had a lucky ball, which reduced tension and other negative influences.

*Tricking your brain by implying things to yourself.

Have you ever heard of the "placebo effect? Placebo" means "fake medicine".

In some cases, patients who take fake medicines that do not contain effective ingredients think they are taking real medicine, and their symptoms actually improve.

This is called the placebo effect, a well-known phenomenon originating in the work of Henry K. Beecher of Harvard Medical School [2].

Furthermore, some studies have shown that the placebo effect also affects the actual taking of a drug, with patients who believe in its efficacy having better results when they take it.
For example, when a person has a stomach ache, even if it is just a nutritional supplement, if he believes it is a stomach medicine and takes it, his stomach ache will go away.

Of course, believing in something bad will only produce bad results, so the subject is not "everything" and the degree of belief is not "absolute," but believing in something good will increase the probability of getting good results.

Incidentally, there is even a phenomenon called the "nocebo effect," the opposite of the placebo effect, in which doubting the effects of a drug, etc., reduces its effectiveness (a concept introduced to the world by Walter P. Kennedy's research[3]).

So, if you are not sure whether an initiative will produce good results, but if it seems unlikely to produce bad results, it is basically a matter of believing in it. The brain is surprisingly simple and gullible.

The lucky ball example is another example: "I have the lucky ball!" This is an actual example of how the probability of a good result, in other words, a cup-in rate, can be increased by believing that "I have a lucky ball!"

*If you think you're unlucky, you'll miss out on good fortune".

Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire, regarded as the leading authority on the academic study of luck, says that "even a sardine's head comes from faith (that deep faith can make even a sardine's head seem precious)" is an effective idea.

As a researcher who fundamentally rejects the paranormal, Wiseman has scientifically conducted a variety of experiments and investigations based on objective data and methods regarding good and bad luck.

For example, there is this experiment conducted by Wiseman that revealed "that people have little insight into the causes of luck, but that their thoughts and actions are largely responsible for good and bad luck" [4].

Weisman gathered people who considered themselves lucky and people who considered themselves unlucky, gave them both a newspaper, and asked them to find out how many pictures were in it.

The newspaper had a message in large print, over five centimeters long, in a space that took up half the page: "Tell the experimenter you saw this and you will get $250".
In short, the point was not the photo.

As a result, the self-proclaimed unlucky people missed the message because they were too busy counting photos, while the self-proclaimed lucky people tended to find the message and earn some unexpected lucky income.

The reason for this difference is analyzed as follows: unlucky people are more nervous than lucky people, and this nervousness makes it harder for them to notice unexpected events other than photographs.

After all, if you think you are unlucky, you have a narrower perspective and miss out on good fortune even when it is lying around.

Wiseman described the experiment on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), saying, "I was at a party to find a partner".

"You go to a party to find a partner, but you miss the chance to meet a good friend".

"You look through the newspaper to find a particular job ad and miss the other ads".

Losing $250 because you were too focused on finding a photo is a blow, but it's also laughable.

*Fill your surroundings with happy and lucky words.

So, start by thinking, "I'm lucky!" That's why we start by thinking, "I'm so lucky! Brain science research has shown that the brain is complex and mysterious, but it is also very simple and easily fooled by the words and actions that we say to ourselves.

Even if you don't really think it, if you repeatedly ask your brain to say aloud, "I am lucky! over and over again, even if you don't really believe it. The verbal spirit is not a superstition.

It is a fact that has been proven in numerous scientific experiments. Rather, we can use words as a spell to keep ourselves away from tension and stress.

Words create a person's worldview," is a very famous linguistic theory proposed by the American linguist Benjamin Waugh. In order to let a lucky and happy world unfold before your eyes, first fill the words that color you with happy and lucky things.
