Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA: 

I feel like I have the worst luck in the world. Is it possible I am cursed?

–Psyching Myself Out (United States)

DEAR PSYCHING MYSELF OUT:

Sometimes we can experience a difficult thing and we start to dread and resist similar difficulties, which can actually attract more of the same. The more we dread something, the more we can create something. And the more we create difficult situations, the more we can come to believe that is our norm.

I suggest you play with creating positive expectations and create structures to bring in positive events and people into your life. For example, when you wake up in the morning, imagine something fun happening. Or when you meet someone new, smile and expect the best, even if it’s a one-second loving spirit connection with a fellow human being. Try this and notice and positive changes that you see over time.
