Welcome to your ✨Monday Moment✨

Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Exhale.

Pick a colour 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣

Find the moment below with that same colour, then go to the closing moment at the end.

🔴 Take a moment to learn the ancient Gaelic word, faodail (n.) meaning a lucky find. Have you had a faodail recently?

🟠 Take a moment to learn about some lesser-known symbols of good luck from around the world:

• Acorns (Nordic Origin) – Carried in pockets as symbols of strength and potential growth, inspired by their connection to the mighty oak.
• Scarab Beetle Jewelry (Egyptian Origin) – Worn for protection and good fortune, linked to the sun god Khepri.
• Ladybugs/Ladybirds (Various Origins) – Believed to bring luck due to their role in helping farmers by eating pests.
• Dolphins (Greek & Roman Mythology) – Seen as signs of good fortune, as sailors often took their presence as an indication that land was near.
• Frogs (Various Cultural Origins) – Associated with abundance, fertility, and prosperity.
• Keys (Far Eastern Cultures) – Considered lucky for their ability to unlock hidden knowledge and opportunities.

🟡 Take a moment to ponder five ways luck often shows up in your life. Maybe you always find a great parking spot, snag the last fresh bagel, or stumble upon exactly what you need at the perfect time. When was the last time you felt lucky? (And apologies to those of you who now have Clint Eastwood’s voice echoing through your head 😏)

🟢 Take a moment to think if you have a lucky number. What makes it your lucky number? When was the last time it came up or you used it?

🔵 Take a moment to take some lucky breaths. First, think of a colour that represents luck to you. Now take a slow, deep inhale and imagine that colour glowing all around you and intensifying. Hold it for a moment and exhale slowly, saying to yourself, “I am lucky.” Inhale again, and see the colour grow stronger. Hold the breath momentarily, then exhale, saying, “I have luck within me.” Repeat a few rounds of these breaths anytime you need a boost.

🟣 Take a moment to think back to your younger years. Did you ever carry a good luck charm? If so, what was it? Was it a gift from someone special, or did you choose it yourself? Do you still have it?

A closing moment to take another deep breath together. Hold it. Exhale. Some have said that luck is a self-fulfilling prophecy, whilst others consider it a phenomenon of chance. Whatever your belief, take a moment this week to appreciate the luck in your life, even during difficult times. When challenges arise, shift your focus to the many ways you are still lucky. 🍀

Your thoughts and comments are always welcome—consider this a safe space. Feel free to share this lucky moment with anyone who might enjoy it, and don’t forget to sign up to receive your free ✨Monday Moment✨ every week straight to your inbox.
