Lucky Girl Syndrome: Unlocking the Science Behind Subconscious Thinking Patterns

A recent study has shed light on the lesser-known phenomenon of the Lucky Girl Syndrome, where an individual's perception of good fortune is perpetuated by their brain's unique wiring.

According to experts, our brains are pre-wired to scan for patterns and create meaning from available information. More often than not, this translates to a predominantly negative outlook on situations, where scenarios go awry and expectations are dashed. A stagnant social media page, an declining follower base, and even issues with new employees can send a message that everything is falling apart.

However, the brains' ability to detect patterns is controlled by the Reticular Activating System (RAS), a small network of neurons acting as a filter that helps our minds focus on what we believe to be essential. It's only when we adopt a positive mindset - such as believing in luck - does this filter's function change. The brain starts to scan for signs and evidence that verify such faith, thus fostering an individual's perception of being in good fortune.
