Hey, I’m going to ask something of you. Don’t worry, it’s not a hedonistic request though. Could you make a conscious choice to start your day with hope and kindness? Could you bring some positive vibes into every waking moment?
You must think that I’m cracking a bad joke, don’t you? I mean, look around, how many people do you think are kind with dovey eyes? Can you really know for sure? Maybe there’s only a handful of them around. What do you say? Or would you beg to differ? If there were more kind and positive people in the world, wouldn’t you agree that it would be a better place to live? Perhaps it could even be a dream come true.
So, instead of dismissing the idea that kindness and positivity are beyond your reach, why not take small steps in that direction? Let’s delve into a few easy ways you can weave into your daily life and see where it takes you down the line. It’s not such a slippery slope as you might imagine. Who knows, you’ll find a lot of like-minded souls along the way.
Here are 8 easy ways you can tap into that high vibrational energy of yours which you didn’t think existed until now.
Start your day with positive self-affirmations!
As you open your eyes in the morning, take a deep breath and greet the world. Be grateful for the bright day that lies ahead. Stand in front of the mirror as you get ready for the day and repeat positive affirmations that lifts your spirit and sets a vibrational tone for the day. Your self-affirmations should be brief and in the present tense. Say it out loud. Take slow, deep breaths and focus on the affirmation and the feelings it evokes.
Although self-esteem issues are frequently treated with positive affirmations, you don’t have to limit yourself to that. Affirmations can also be used as an add-on to your law of attraction practices. For instance, if your romantic partner recently rejected you, you might say the affirmation “I’m worthy of love.” Or, if you’re having trouble at work, tell yourself, “I’m capable of success.”
When you use self-affirmations, your levels of feel-good hormones like dopamine and norepinephrine rise. Your thoughts may alter your brain, your cells, and even your genes over time and with repetition thanks to a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. Don’t stop with affirmations, in addition visualize yourself achieving career success or whatever your goals might be in life.
Tune in to upbeat music or inspiring podcasts!
During your morning commute, fill your mind with motivating words and melodies that fuel your positive energy. With a smile on your face, greet fellow commuters and share warm gestures of kindness, brightening their day and your own.
A recent study investigated the impact of different musical genres on listeners’ emotional reactions. The study included 82 participants who were given a choice between cheerful or depressing music snippets to listen to. After listening, the participants rated their level of “elation.” The results showed that those who listened to upbeat music reported higher levels of “elation” compared to those who listened to sad music. This study provides evidence that music has the power to evoke diverse emotional states. It’s truly remarkable, isn’t it?
Breathe deeply to maintain a positive mindset!
At work, or at home, approach tasks with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. Consciously reframe your setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning. Here’s one of the breathing techniques you can use whenever you need a quick pick-me-up.
Take time to connect with nature!
Take a quick stroll in a local park during lunch breaks. Just go outside and enjoy the sun for at least 10 to 15 minutes to boost your vitamin D and serotonin levels. According to research, relatively high serotonin levels might result in a happy mood and a peaceful yet focused mindset.
It turns out that your body needs serotonin to produce melatonin. The amount of sunlight you receive influences your sleep-wake cycle. So, make sure to expose yourself to sunlight to sync your body’s clock with the sun’s cycle. Oh, and don’t forget that sunlight is a double-edged sword. Anyway, apply sunscreen lotion on your skin. On cool winter gloomy days when the sun is absent, try indoor light therapy to simulate the effects of sunlight.
Practice active listening and respond with empathy and kindness!
The greatest and most successful level of listening is active listening (AL). When there’s a hasty conversation between two people, there’s no room for active listening there. You need to pay attention to the speaker’s intent, feeling, and content. Listen without biases.
Show your interest by asking questions and using nonverbal cues such as nodding and maintaining open body language. Avoid fidgeting, such as tapping on the desk or wriggling your legs. Maintain eye contact, keep a neutral facial expression, offer very minimal verbal support, maintain a state of attentive silence, and reflect back feelings.
Here are the four ‘S’s you need to apply during active listening:
Stop Interrupting, Suspend judgment or forming opinions, Summarize intellectually, and Show Interest.
Do activities that brings joy and nourishes your soul!
Practise yoga, read inspiring novels, or spend quality time with your loved ones in the evening. Nonetheless, choose experiences that correspond to your good vibe. These self-care acts can recharge your spirit and allow your positivity to shine on. Here’s a post-workday detox yoga session to help you unwind and sleep better!
Engage in scripting, 2 – 3 times per week!
As the day draws to a close, acknowledge the blessings and positive interactions that filled your day. Through the scripting practice, write in detail about the reality that you wish to manifest in the present tense. For much better results use past tense, as if your manifestations have already happened.
Prioritize self-care and relaxation!
In your nighttime routine, practice one of MtFat diet’s mindfulness sleep meditations to quiet your mind and release any lingering stress or negativity. Make sure to enter a peaceful and restful sleep, ready to embrace another day filled with positivity.
Life is not always a bed of roses. Have you noticed all those thorns that come along with a beautiful rose? Despite practicing ways to tap into your vibrational energy, you may still come across people who constantly drain your positive vibes. Here are a few example characters you should be aware of and how to navigate around them with the fluidity of water.
Let’s get to know a few of the interesting people you might see frequently:
To make things more intriguing, we’ve introduced a few fictitious characters. Their names may be made up, but their characters are not. Here you go!
Sarah, the Straitjacket:
Imagine Sarah is from your HR department. She always believes she’s the silver lining in any dark cloud and has a knack for exerting control over others, including you. When you disagree with her on certain issues, she usually freaks out and refuses to rest until you align with her.
A couple of hours with someone like her might make you feel suffocated, as if you’re confined in a straitjacket with no breathing room. Does her constant nagging about what you should do and how you should think always dampen your vibrational energy? If so, how do you plan to navigate around her while protecting your positive aura? The answer is simple: limit your time with people like Sarah. Maybe you can meet her for a cup of coffee, but avoid getting caught in a straitjacket of prolonged interactions.
Mark, the Notorious Gossip:
Where there’s a rumor, there’s Mark. Imagine he’s part of your team and thrives on the latest gossip, possessing an uncanny ability to unravel personal lives. 𝘏𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘵 𝘶𝘱. Have you ever noticed a circumstance where he permits you—or anybody else, for that matter—to speak up?
So, what do you plan on doing? Well, once you spot conversational narcissists like Mark, try your best to consciously steer clear. In fact, avoid engaging with him for any other reasons than professional ones. By doing so, you can effectively shield yourself from his negative influence and preserve your own positive vibes.
Lisa, the Energy Vampire:
Lisa is your friend’s sister who always tags along. She has an insatiable need for attention and often manipulates situations to revolve around her. Does spending time with her overwhelm you at times? If so, how do you effectively block Lisa and others like her from creating a dent in your vibrational energy? Well, there are a few strategies you can employ.
First and foremost, set firm boundaries and make it clear that Lisa can’t text or call you unless it’s an emergency situation. Additionally, surround yourself with supportive and positive influences who can counterbalance any negativity that may arise. Also, remember to practice self-care and maintain a strong sense of self-belief to help you stay grounded and resilient in the face of their attempts to drain your energy.
Alex, the Perpetually Critical Boss:
Have you ever worked for someone like Alex, who throws toxic darts? Do you find the constant ducking and evading of the darts challenging? People with a critical eye, such as Alex, always notice flaws in others’ work and rarely provide constructive criticism.
Any ideas on what you can do to shield yourself from arrogant people like Alex? How do you plan on focusing on your personal growth and embracing the power of self-belief?
Consider listening with an open mind when your boss wants to express his viewpoint. Be understanding since Alex may have an issue that goes beyond you. Find allies with whom you can stand in solidarity if you feel that your opinions are not being taken seriously or that you are not being appreciated.
Jessica, the next-door drama queen:
Jessica finds reasons for grumbling and be worried no matter what the circumstances are. Something always goes wrong. Once a problem is resolved, there’s always another in queue. She just craves for your sympathy, empathy, and support. If you offer her reasonable solutions to her problems, she never appears to be interested. Her constant drama may have a ripple effect on your mood and vibrational energy.
So, how do you tackle people like her? Keep your exposure to Jessica’s drama’s very brief and engage in quick chit-chats whenever you meet her on the go. Always make legitimate excuses, saying you’ll catch up with her next time, but for now, you are busy up to your neck.
Through encounters with these diverse characters, your positive energy might face its fair share of tests. Understand that life is a beautiful blend of challenges and triumphs, yet remain committed to cultivating your high vibrational state.
In this ever-changing tapestry of existence, navigating through the rollercoaster of vibrations in your life requires strength, mindfulness, and an unwavering commitment to nurturing your own positive vibes.
