I read a post by @nathankaye the other day about spreading positivity and raising the vibration of the collective consciousness and it really resonated with me. If you haven’t read his posts on positivity then you totally should!

My thought was that each of us can choose to raise the vibration of the space around us.

If we each focus on how we can individually help then we can really get something started towards moving into a higher level of consciousness for our entire society. If we focus on how it’s a huge job to raise the collective consciousness then we may never get started in the first place.

Believe me when I tell you that the number of awakened souls is increasing every single day and we live in an amazing time right now on Earth. We have the chance to be a part of something incredible if we take the time and put forth a little bit of effort.

How to Get Started

1: Stop Judging, It’s Not Our Job

We all judge ourselves, it seems to be ingrained into our DNA to judge ourselves and, usually, we end up judging ourselves harshly in a negative way. Instead, you should try to look in the mirror and love the person that you are because no one is more you than you are.

You have something to bring to the table and share with others. We all do. And what I bring to the table is different than what you bring to the table. The differences are what make the world a truly beautiful place to live in.

I think most of us are guilty of judging others, too. When you first meet someone or see a picture of them, you judge them based on the way they wear their hair, or the clothes they have chosen, or the color of their skin. I don’t think anyone means to judge someone else but we do.

It is our choice to consciously choose to stop the judging as soon as it starts by being mindful enough to watch our thoughts. When you find yourself being negative change the station to something else more positive and uplifting. This will instantly raise your vibration, at least it does for me.

2: Create Happiness and Abundance in Your Own Life

Abundance is not just about money or financial assets. Abundance can be found all around us, in every area of our lives. We can be abundant in love, in blessings, in health, in creative talents, etc.

Abundance is definitely not just about wealth.

Choose to think that you are a happy person and that you accept life no matter how it is thrown at you. Only you have the power to change your own thinking, no one can tell us what we think or how we should think. That is our freedom, our right, and always has been.

Happiness and abundance is a conscious state of mind. Be grateful for every aspect of your life, even if you find yourself thinking that you are struggling with something. Maybe you don’t have the health you want or the clothing that you want or the friends that you want.

You are the one that controls that, you have the power to change your thinking and attract what you want into your life by being grateful and joyous. Be vigilant in your own thinking and keep those thoughts clean, my friends.

3: Know That The Best Is On Its Way

Think about the best moment of your entire life, close your eyes and think about it. My best moment that I can think of is the day that I was released from military service and was able to walk off that ship for the last time. I learned so much while in the military and I am grateful for that time in my life but I wanted a chance to live my own life, on my own terms.

I remember everything about that day. The weather, the feelings of nervousness/ecstasy, what I was wearing when I left, the hugs from friends that I had known for years. I can still describe everything about how I felt about that day to you.

But, that day doesn’t compare to the days that I have now. Each day just gets better and better for me.

Because I know that life just keeps getting better and better if you stay positive and believe that it will.

4: Let Go of Anger

It is so easy to be rude or angry in our society because it seems like an easy emotion to grasp. Anger kills our positive vibes, stops them dead in their tracks!

If someone is rude or unkind to you, accept that that is their problem and walk away. Let go of anger and choose to be kind to those that are rude to you or are cruel.

I can understand how this may be so very difficult to do, I struggle with it too. I choose to practice what I preach though and just try to smile or laugh at those that choose to be uncaring towards others. This not only shows your own integrity but raises the vibration around you.

The funny thing is that I choose to wave to people that are rude and then smile at them… and oftentimes I actually get a smile or wave back from someone that was so angry just moments before. Smiles are contagious, they really are!

5: Be of Service to Others

Random acts of kindness are often paid forward by the person that you served and having a kind deed done for us almost always brings a smile to our faces.

Think about how it feels to have someone do something nice for you. Think about how a kind word or gesture makes you feel.

Now, think about the last time you did something nice for someone else without having a reason for doing so, without having any motivation to do that kind deed.

If you are anything like me, that felt pretty damn good inside.

That feeling is your vibration moving higher and the Universe accepting that you chose to do something kind. Being a good person isn’t hard and doesn’t take much time or sacrifice. And it makes everyone in the situation feel good (unless someone is choosing to not feel good that day).

Take the time to hold the door for a stranger or pay for someone else’s coffee at the shop in the morning. Give a hug to a loved one that needs it or smile at someone just because.

Being kind or being of service to others doesn’t take anything away from us except a few moments of time. The reward, however, is so great.

Thank you for reading my musings on raising your own vibration. I hope it was of help to you, I would love to hear your thoughts!
