It's that day when the superstitious amongst you will knuckle down lock your self away and stair at the clock till the witching hour has past and its Saturday morning, where by the world will return to normal in your eyes and life is plane sailing again.
Assuming your a rational person the rest of the time where did this belief come from ? Think back was it a relative or did a bad event actually happen to you on Friday 13th !
A few years ago I met someone who'd had a bad accident on Friday the 13th and from then on every Friday 13th was filled with dread of the next bad thing that will happen. They were driving home late at night when there car was hit badly by another driver and they had to be cut from the vehicle and they had to stay in hospital for the next week and had injuries that will stay with them forever! Of course this was all the fault of Friday 13th and had nothing to do with the fact they'd been working 16 hour days solid for the last three months and it was coming to the end of a stressful week.
My point is this as humans we are predisposed to shift blame away from ourselves and a preconceived idea only adds to our anxiety and stress. So if you're think Oh my good it's Friday 13th something bad will happen take a moment think about where this conception came from and dispel it because it's just another ordinary day the same as any other.
