TikTok suggests embracing the “happy girl syndrome” craze if you want to make more good changes in your life. Many videos that all claim this new method of positive thinking can assist you in reaching your goals are linked by the hashtag.
Several of these films feature young women claiming to be “so lucky” and making statements like, “I am so lucky, everything my heart desires will come to me,” if you haven’t previously seen one of them.
Many of the films provide examples of recent lucky occurrences that have happened as a result of utilizing these positive affirmations. These events may include receiving an unanticipated windfall of money, landing a dream job, or taking the vacation of a lifetime.The “law of assumption” states that when we act as though what we want is already our reality and believe it, we are rewarded with the things we most want in life. Lucky girl syndrome is merely the most recent application of this principle.
The popular “law of attraction,” which emphasizes the power of thoughts and beliefs—so that what you believe becomes your reality—and the rule of assumption are surprisingly similar. Thus, I will succeed if I act like a successful person and think that I am successfulThis type of “you-are-what-you-think” ideology is very persuasive and popular because it’s reminiscent of ancient wisdom. For example, Stoic philosophy suggests that the way we think about our situation determines our psychological state, not the situation itself. But unlike lucky girl manifesting, stoic philosophy also advocated for recognising that sometimes things don’t go our way – and that this is an opportunity in itself to learn and grow.
Thinking your way to success sounds simple and its simplicity is appealing. But this is also the flaw of lucky girl syndrome. Although research has found that successful people do have a positive mindset, it’s not only their mindset that sets them apart.
