"LIFE COACH OFFERS WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR LUCK "
For Immediate Release:

How to be your own good luck charm

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. Each year about this time, we see people dressing in green, carrying a four-leafed clover, and talking about luck. But is it true that some people are lucky and others are not? If you are the kind of person convinced that you're "chronically unlucky" you may actually be creating the negative experiences you fear.

"Creating good luck" is a skill that can be learned," says Master Certified Life Coach Barbara McRae, MCC. McRae, a former top HR exec who has spent 20 years coaching hundreds of executives, has advice and practical tips for making life changes. How luck is created is one of the many subjects McRae covers in her new book, "Less Drama, More Fun."

"Luck is a natural consequence of positive core beliefs. If you want to create better luck, shift your beliefs to match your preferred outcome. Everyone feels frustrated and dissatisfied at times, but when you let negative thoughts rule your consciousness, you close yourself off from creating your own good luck, " explains McRae.

Negativity is typically triggered when we're in a situation we don't like and want it to be different (weight, appearance, undesirable habit, job, relationship, health, or finances). Dissatisfaction is the biggest obstacle to success. The simplest shift in thinking is to decide to be open to new possibilities without first needing external evidence.

Here are some tips for creating better luck in your life:

1. IDENTIFY CORE BELIEFS. Identify any negative core beliefs you may have running through your mind. Once you recognize self-defeating thought patterns, it is easier to shift them to the positive.
2. INCREASE LIKEABILITY. Likeability increases luck. When you are genuinely friendly and a good listener, people are drawn to you. In sales, as in many other professions, people with good personalities often attract more sales and keep loyal customers.
3. STOP OVERANALYZING. When things don't go the way you wanted them to, don't overanalyze the experience. We often make assumptions and leap to conclusions and collect "evidence" that support a negative thought. Learn to transform a negative thought or experience into a positive one.
4. LEARN TO RECEIVE. Have the strength and the courage to reach out to others and learning to receive will yield much better results than all all the effort, time, and money you put into your endeavors. All external problems have internal solutions!
