Thoughts on this "Unlucky" Day
It's Friday the 13th. Will you be going about your business as usual? Staying in bed until tomorrow?
I am not especially superstitious about Friday the 13th. I tend to think of it first thing in the morning. Later on in the day, I take a moment to think about whether I am having a good day or whether something unfortunate has happened.
If everything is going well, then I don't put much stock in the idea of Friday the 13th as being an unlucky day. If I were to have many things go wrong on Friday the 13th, I might start to think of it as being an unlucky day. If we think of Friday the 13th (or any other day) as being bad or unlucky, to a certain extent it turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I have often heard that bad things happen in threes. If I am having one of those days when things are not going the way I would have planned, I remind myself of the rule of threes, as it were. If I can find three things that have gone wrong, not matter how minor, then after that point my day starts to get better. Or it seems to.
I think that if I decide that my day will get better at a certain point, it will. I have stopped focusing on what has gone wrong or what could go wrong. Instead, I get on with what I need to do that day. The bottom line, to my mind, is that whether it is Friday the 13th or not, it's a question of mind over matter.
