What High Vibe People Do Differently

Maya Angelou said "At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel." We all know people that drain our joy every time they come around-always emphasizing what's wrong and focused on how terrible life is. . . yuck. Hopefully you have a few friends in your circle that are a breath of fresh air and uplift and inspire you with their authentic presence. Better yet, perhaps YOU are one of those people that walk into a room and instantly make it brighter. I aim and aspire to be a high vibe being and have discovered that in order to maintain the good mojo there are a few things that positive people do (no, they aren't necessarily born with it!) to create a frequency of joy:

1. They are committed to self-mastery
They claim personal responsibility for their energy and let go of blaming or relying on others to determine their state. We're  all always either commanding our energy and holding our own space with integrity or we are collapsing into whoever we are with allowing the strength of their energy to become our own. High vibe people command and control the only thing that can be controlled: themselves--their attitudes, behavior and reactions. They are able to let go of stuff easily and often and know just how many fucks are enough to give. They're gracious with their love and intelligent with their limits.

2. They deal with stress and challenge creatively
Don't mistake genuine high vibe people with those that pretend "it's all good!" The real high vibers aren't without struggles, but they are honest about them and willing to be vulnerable without being a victim. They have developed habits and conditioning that help mitigate the stress in healthy, creative ways by feeding the elevated frequency and nourishing themselves daily with practices, people and perspectives that inspire and produce positivity. Additionally, they use mistakes and failures as feedback on how they're doing rather than the final word on who they are. They continuously orient themselves toward a victorious outcome no matter what the challenge.

3. They choose the way of joy
Positive people don't wake up everyday feeling radiant and alive but have adopted a growth mindset, always open to learning new ways of keeping their lives fresh. They replace complaining and catastrophizing with curiosity and compassion and seek to identify what needs aren't getting met underneath the complaints. They make a conscious choice to be happy and know how to protect and preserve their joy by connecting to something bigger than themselves. Prayer, meditation, time in nature or any contemplative practices are part of their regular routine. They are clear about their intentions and motivations and are driven by a desire to serve in some way rather than simply satisfy their own desires.

4. They dance to the beat of their own drum
Finally, high vibe people are focused on their own mission in life rather than comparing themselves to others. They are busy being creators of their lives rather than consumers of the mass consensus reality. They surround themselves with high frequency friends and are able to celebrate others' success knowing that when it's their turn, they will be honored in kind. They contribute to a vision of the world that is generative and generous and seek to make it a better place everyday. 

​I believe it takes a certain amount of courage to choose to be positive and optimistic in a world that is seems to have adapted to a negative bias. What can you do to make your corner of the world vibrate a little higher and touch those you meet with your brilliance? 

Be brave; let's stay down to earth yet vibe higher.
