7 Ways to Attract Luck into Your Life with Contentment Contentment is an emotional state of satisfaction and peace of mind. It means you accept yourself for the person you are, and you’re satisfied with what you have. You no longer compare yourself to others and feel grateful for all the gifts that life has to offer. You accept others as they are, and this increases your opportunities for love and friendship. You express gratitude for what you have, and are not concerned with what you don’t have. Your life is simpler, richer, and happier as a result. Contented people do receive more luck in life. This is because people with positive attitudes expect opportunities to come their way and they’re ready to take advantage of them when they do. In addition, contented people are more likely to enjoy successful relationships, have greater job satisfaction, earn more money, enjoy greater physical and mental health, and live longer than people who lack these benefits. They’re also more likely to help others, as they receive pleasure and satisfaction from their altruism. They have more friends, bounce back from setbacks quickly, and smile and laugh much more than people who lack contentment in their lives. When you look at the benefits that contented people receive, it’s no wonder they’re considered lucky. 1. Practice gratitude. People who practice gratitude have learned to focus on what’s good in their lives, rather than dwell on what they don’t have. 2.
Don’t compare yourself with others. There will always be people who can do something better than you or who appear to be wealthier or happier than you. However, no one can be a better you than you.
3. Help others. When you do, you’ll start realizing how much wisdom you have that you can share with others. 4.
Simplify your life. You’ll gain a strong sense of freedom when you eliminate what you don’t need. This includes people who cause you nothing but aggravation, as well as possessions you no longer need.
5.
Be kind to yourself and others. You can’t achieve contentment when you’re running yourself down. Everyone makes mistakes. Take care with your thoughts and be compassionate and gentle with yourself. Positive affirmations can help with this. Being kind to others makes you feel better about yourself too.
6.
Make room in your life for exercise. All forms of exercise release endorphins and make you feel good about yourself. You’ll also look and feel good about yourself.
