I recently got my heart somewhat broken. When I say somewhat, I mean it was torn out of my body and tossed in the bin. You’ve all probably experienced something like this, you know that you feel anything but positive. Sure, you have your good days, but there are more days spent watching Netflix alone or with your parents. It’s time to welcome back the positive vibes.
You want to get out of that rut you’re in. However, once you’ve been down in the dumps, it can sometimes be hard to pull yourself out of it. This is where you need to focus on bringing back the positive vibes you’ve lost. What this means is that you’ll need to focus on yourself. But how do you do this?
# Accept that you’re not where you want to beFinally accept the fact that where you are in your life is not where you want to be.
We all complain that we should be doing this or that, but honestly, how many of us actually make a change? Exactly. You’re not happy, accept it. Now, change it.
# Know what you want and needThis is really hard to do because most of us don’t know what we want or need. But how about you start with the things you don’t want. You may find it easier to then see the things you appreciate and value. If you know what you want and need, focus your energy on achieving it.
# Switch your focusIf you want to attract positive energy, you’re going to have to change the way you look at things. Now, I’m not saying you’re a Debbie Downer, but, you probably don’t see the glass half full most of the time. It’s time to change that.
You’re going to experience shitty situations, that’s a part of life, but are you going to take it as a negative experience or as a learning lesson?
# Get spiritual
Now, you don’t have to start believing in god or become a Buddhist, that’s not what this is about. However, you should understand that everything is made of energy. So, acknowledge that we are not the highest form of energy. You can view this in a spiritual or religious way. For example, I view Mother Earth as something greater than myself.
# Be honest with yourselfOh god, this one is a struggle, trust me. Being honest with yourself means coming forward and acknowledging who you really are as a person. It’s not easy. You may realize that in many situations you’ve been a complete asshole or that you’re not as good of a friend as you think.
However, by really looking within, you’ll be able to make changes that make you a better person and attract positive vibes.
# Start breathing!
We’re so busy running around and getting distracted that we forget to breathe. Okay, I mean, we breathe or else we’d all be dead, but what I mean is, we need to sit down and really breathe.
Take deep breaths in and out, focusing on your body. It’s all about relaxing the mind and body to allow positivity to cultivate within. I know this sounds like hippie stuff, but it works.
# Laugh
Laughing is so important for cultivating positive vibes. It’s the moment where you feel true joy. If something’s funny, laugh. Who knows, maybe you’ll make an entire group of people join in because laughing is contagious. So, spread the love by giving out a laugh.
