How to Raise Your Energetic Vibration

Posted on February 18, 2020 by Kristin Fehrman, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

In a world full of so many distractions, it can become difficult to stay conscious of your mind, body, and spirit. Constant running, going and doing has left us feeling irritated, incomplete, flustered and alone.

I saw a post by the inspirational April Adams, who has helped me over the past couple of years through her book, online advice, and messages of hope.

“If you’re tired of being overwhelmed by feeling other people’s stuff, clear your own stuff (traumas, fears, triggers…). Then you won’t resonate with the lower frequencies anymore and it won’t bother you like it did. Go forth and be free.”
This got me thinking; how can we be free?

Raising your vibration is the first step to clearing your mind and connecting with your higher self. Enlightenment and connecting with my own spirituality has completely changed my life, perspective, and overall happiness. This is a new concept for many people, but in a world of hustle and bustle, it’s important for me to share the simple ways that you, too, can live a more peaceful, free life.

Live beautifully. Enjoying the simple things in the world around me has made my life so much fuller. I started becoming more conscious of my surroundings while living in New York City, where life seemed to pass by quicker than I could enjoy it. Amidst getting pushed through the city sidewalks and squeezing into a sweaty subway, I found solace in Central Park, beauty in buildings, and peace by the river. Slowing down and observing the world may be difficult, but there is beauty all around us.

Become conscious of your thoughts. I can easily fall into old thinking patterns. When someone annoys me or life doesn’t go my way, I become grouchy, negative and selfish. It has become mucheasier for me to catch myself when I’m thinking negatively about other people and situations; instead, I try and think with compassion. This is not easy, but there’s a power in positive thinking. If you continue to think negatively, negative things will come your way. If you think, “today will be horrible” or “I’m going to miss the train,” chances are, those things will happen to you. Alternatively, if you start your day with a positive mind, positive things will come your way.

Meditate. This one can be difficult, but once you are able to sit still and focus on your breath, you’ll discover that the benefits are huge. I never understood meditation or why I should do it until the first time I felt the “tinglies.” This can be a bit tricky to explain! I used to look to people, chemicals, or activities to feel a physical and mental sense of peace, but once I found it in meditation and a connection to my higher self, I didn’t want to stop! Once I truly learned how to meditate, an overwhelming sense of warmth and comfort came over me. I finally understood what it meant to connect to my higher self! Meditation is how I start every day, but I often meditate before bed, at the park during lunch, or sometimes I simply close my eyes on the train to re-center myself on my daily commute.

Make a gratitude list. I never go a day without writing down what I am grateful for. I’ve had many stressful situations over the past couple of weeks; I’m looking for a new apartment, I’ve experienced job changes, and to top it off, I have my own personal issues. Sometimes it feels like the walls are crashing down on me. However, there’s much more to be grateful for than to be upset about. I write down simple joys, from my morning coffee to a meaningful conversation that I had with a friend. Once you start writing down your gratitudes, you’ll realize there’s much more to be thankful for than to be discouraged about.

Focus on physical health. This includes eating right, drinking plenty of water, avoiding toxins and staying active. I didn’t realize how negatively alcohol, caffeine, lack of sleep, and diet impacted my life. I used to “push through” the day, not listening to my body when I was hungry and jittery. The first step to being mindful is to pay attention to what your body is telling you!
