Just My Luck

Just My Luck: The Subconscious Hack to Train Fortune & End the Doom Loop (Living Lucky® Podcast)

Ever wonder why some people are magnets for opportunity? This self-help episode reveals a game-changing shift that turns luck into a repeatable pattern.

Inspired by Mind Power author John Kehoe, we share the hack to reprogram your subconscious mind:

• Good event? Say “Just my luck.”
• Setback? Ask “How lucky am I?”

These cues train your mind to expect wins, scan challenges for agency, and co-create with possibility. Learn how gratitude becomes a high-vibration frequency that boosts confidence and attracts the right people.

Actionable Nuggets & Takeaways:

• The Mind Power Hack: Use the mantra. “Just my luck” tags positive events as expected and repeatable. “How lucky am I?” reframes setbacks into opportunities.
• Subconscious Programming: Your subconscious mind manifests based on programmed beliefs. Use these phrases as mental hygiene to replace limiting beliefs.
• Gratitude is Magnetic: Gratitude is a high-vibration frequency that lifts your baseline, making your energy contagious and attracting momentum.
• Emotional Home Check: If you thrive in chaos (emotional home), use gratitude for gentle exposure to better states.
• Co-Creation Vortex: Actively programming your energy creates a vortex, training the universe to be in co-creation with you.
• The Kehoe Challenge: Try the experiment for a week. Use the phrases and take one small, aligned action. Watch your attention filter widen.

Jana Shelfer: 0:00

Are you ready to create a life you crave? Let's spin that doom loop of negativity into an upward success cycle and start Living Lucky®.

Jason Shelfer: 0:14

Good morning.

Jana Shelfer: 0:15

I'm Jana. I'm Jason. And we are Living Lucky®.

Jason Shelfer: 0:18

You are too.

Jana Shelfer: 0:19

Yesterday I had the opportunity to work with the master, Mr. John Keho. He is the one that wrote the book Mind Power, which I live and breathe by. And I actually had the chance to sit on a Zoom call with him, which was so great. He shared with me one hack that I want to share with all of you because it really hit home for me. Nice. He says, whenever anything good happens to you, anything at all, you need to say the phrase, just my luck.

Jason Shelfer: 1:02

Oh, that's interesting.

Jana Shelfer: 1:04

Because Jason and I have, whenever anything good happens to us, we say, How lucky am I? We turn it into a question. That's so and he does the same thing, but he uses the phrase, just my luck. Just my luck.

Jason Shelfer: 1:18

You know it's funny that we've been doing this for what 10, 11 years now, and we've come up with a lot of these things. I feel like we've gone the long route to get there.

Jana Shelfer: 1:28

We have because we've discovered it what's so crazy is we discover things on our own and we're like, yeah, I think this is the answer. And then as soon as we come to that conclusion, then we get validation from other people that, yeah, this is the answer. I'm like, well, why couldn't you have told us that 10 weeks ago?

Jason Shelfer: 1:48

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Jana Shelfer: 1:50

And I feel like it comes back to Gelinda, the good witch, is you've always had it, my dear. You just needed to discover it yourself.

Jason Shelfer: 2:00

Yeah, it's it's so interesting because it I love getting that validation. Um, and the necessity is the motherhood, mother of invent in innovation or invention. And we needed to figure out, okay, what is it, what's that missing piece? What what are we what are we kind of not seeing in our lives? And how do we create this world that we believe in or that we believe is possible?

Jana Shelfer: 2:26

Do you think the universe was testing us and whether or not we trust our intuition, we trust the lessons that we've been learning. Do we believe in our own abilities?

Jason Shelfer: 2:40

I think the universe was telling us, hey, you've kind of covered yourselves in um worldly perspectives and what the rest of the world wants from you, and you need to get back to who you are and trusting, yes, trusting your own intuition, trusting who you are and what your soul is being called for. Like that's that's what I think.

Jana Shelfer: 3:01

I mean, as soon as he told me that, I wanted to turn around and say, I've been telling people that for years.

Jason Shelfer: 3:07

How lucky am I?

Jana Shelfer: 3:08

I I did a TEDx on it.

Jason Shelfer: 3:10

Right.

Jana Shelfer: 3:10

The the simple question, how lucky am I, will change your life.

Jason Shelfer: 3:14

Yes.

Jana Shelfer: 3:15

And and I said, Look, John, in my like literally in my background, it says Living Lucky®. And I know he was probably thinking, what does that even mean? I don't know. Uh I mean he's 91 years old. I don't even know if he can see me.

Jason Shelfer: 3:30

I think I and I think that though he would get it. Because I think he well, I think our souls know that we are all just wonderfully made. We're miraculous beings. And if we if given the chance, there's so much more to find that to be thankful for and grateful for to see how lucky we are on a daily basis. But we so many people are spending time finding something to complain about.

Jana Shelfer: 3:56

I know, but here's my question to you is why did that validation from him reiterate everything that I've already known? I think it's it almost like it it amped my confidence factor to a 10. Whereas, you know, I've been out speaking to people and I've been like, okay, so I have this little trick that's gonna change your life, and I kind of say it almost like, you know, I hope this resonates with you. Do you understand? You know what I'm saying? Instead of coming at it with confidence, this will change your life because it's changed mine.

Jason Shelfer: 4:37

Yeah, and that's that's interesting.

Jana Shelfer: 4:40

And it wasn't until he said, Okay, Janna, I'm gonna share a little hack with you.

Jason Shelfer: 4:45

I'm gonna share one of the little secret keys.

Jana Shelfer: 4:47

And I'm like, Did you listen to my 10x? Like, that was my hack.

Jason Shelfer: 4:51

This is like when we tell people how important gratitude is. And gratitude, what is gratitude? It's it's like, how lucky am I to see that, right? How lucky am I to have the experience of this?

Jana Shelfer: 5:02

I just I wasn't able though to put it into words and to articulate it. Here, for any of you listening right now, if you whatever happens in your life, even if it's something that is maybe at the time you perceive it to not be the best thing that's ever happened to you, if you ask yourself, how lucky am I, it changes the conversation in your subconscious mind.

Jason Shelfer: 5:26

Yeah, it changes the narrative, the perspective. It says, How might I look at this differently than a catastrophe or something that's happening to me? It's how it turns it into something that might be happening for you.

Jana Shelfer: 5:37

And then when you start saying, How lucky am I when things are going really well, you literally start programming your energy frequency to start creating more of those experiences and the right people come into your path at the right time, at the right place? It all just feels like the universe is in this co-creation with you.

Jason Shelfer: 6:05

You create this vortex, and and people look at me sometimes like I'm crazy. They do, but it's I will also say, who do you want to be around? Do you want to be around someone who's lucky? Do you want to be around someone who has has that exciting energy and it and that things are happening for? Or do you want to be around Debbie Downer? Like, who is that who's the person that you really want to have going out with you? Like in and experiencing life with. Right. It's you don't want to be around the I like I don't want to be in that Debbie Downer environment. Like it's it's because dump Debbie Downer Downer dump is getting rained on all the time. There's no rainbows at the end of her rain. To the point where she starts she's manifesting the like she's the one that's like that's her clouds.

Jana Shelfer: 6:54

That's her emotional home. That's where she's most comfortable. She's she continues to create this because it's like, hey, this is where I thrive.

Jason Shelfer: 7:02

She's like Eeyore and Winnie the Pooh. She's like, she's like, where's my rain cloud? Where's my rain cloud? Like, I've got to have something to complain about. Right. Um, and that's like we all want this new exciting experience of life in this in this fun, and we we want to have that.

Jana Shelfer: 7:21

I I challenge you. I don't think everybody wants that. They might say they want that, but I think deep down they feel most comfortable thriving in chaos or in survival mode or in victimhood.

Jason Shelfer: 7:34

And I think it's because the people around them are feeding some neat deeper need in there often acceptance, attention, love, all that stuff, help, support. Yeah, it's and that's like their warm little blanket that they hide in.

Jana Shelfer: 7:51

Yes. And so when I was speaking to John Kehoe yesterday, and he said, whenever anything good happens to him, now this may simply be he goes outside and he sees a million stars in the sky. What does he say? He says, just my luck.

Jason Shelfer: 8:09

I lucky am I.

Jana Shelfer: 8:10

And he's actually programming his subconscious mind. Now we went deeper in the call, and he said, your subconscious mind is the communication with this greater being. Some call it an energy, some call it a frequency, some call it a vibration, some call it God, but your subconscious mind is literally constantly manifesting the experiences that you attract or create. Yeah. And sometimes because we aren't aware, we have these limiting beliefs in our subconscious mind. And when you have a limiting belief that you are not even aware of that lives or is programmed within your subconscious mind, then you start manifesting these experiences, and it's it's almost like the curriculum of the universe to say, okay, I'm testing you. Have you decided to make a different choice?

Jason Shelfer: 9:10

Yes. I'm gonna, it's because that energy is the magnet magnetism that's gonna draw things into your sphere and influence.

Jana Shelfer: 9:18

Yes.

Jason Shelfer: 9:19

And that's that's a game changer, and that's what he's saying. If you program yourself to say, just my luck, just my luck, you know, then you you you train yourself to say, I'm the luckiest person in the world, which is how I'm and really it is a form of gratitude, is what it is.

Jana Shelfer: 9:35

Like you said, and gratitude is one of the highest vibrations feelings that you can have. It it really is, because it's all entwined in love and joy, and you just get in this awe-inspiring state.

Jason Shelfer: 9:52

Yes. I've got goosebumps.

Jana Shelfer: 9:55

Ah, how lucky are we? Oh, just my luck. Thanks for joining us. And if you have a chance, check out John Keho. His book is called Mind Power. It has changed my life. I've been reading it several times. Sometimes I just read a page or two, but I constantly carry it with me wherever I go.
