DO YOU BELIEVE IN LUCKY UNDERPANTS?

This is just one of the many superstitions that people in the UK believe. Others include refusing to walk under ladders for fear that it will bring them bad luck, and more

    According to a recent research, conducted in the UK, over 8,00,000 people have confessed that they believe in the power of lucky underwear, while 2.7 million people admit to holding onto the childhood belief that if you blow out all of your birthday candles in one breath, your wish will come true. And when it comes to numbers, superstitious Brits consider seven as their luckiest one, followed by 13. Over 4.3 million people believed that having a lucky number brought them good fortune.
    “People can create luck and good fortune by changing their outlook on life, focusing on grabbing opportunities and creating positive expectations,” Wiseman, Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire said. “People also create their own superstitions and rituals in the belief it will change their fortunes. For many, wearing a lucky football shirt, or not putting their top on until they run onto the pitch, will provide a real boost in performance during the game,” he stated. “It is possible through neural programming to think yourself lucky,” he added.
