You get what you put out. That’s the way this universe works. Everything happens on a vibrational level that most of us can’t see. That’s why when one thing goes wrong, a ton of things usually start going wrong. Those bad things all live on the same lower vibration. So you can see why it’s really important to immediately try and RAISE YOUR VIBRATION!

One way to do that is to find your happy place. For some people that might mean going on a walk in nature, maybe with their doggies. Seeing those happy, furry little faces can be enough to make anyone’s heart soar. Maybe reading a good book makes you happy. Or…shopping! Buy yourself something you’ve been wanting. They don’t call it therapy shopping for nothin’!

Another thing that can not only make you happy, but someone else as well, is a random act of kindness. It can be as easy as slowing down to hold the door for someone, or buying the person in line behind you a cup of coffee. Anything that is selfless, anything that can put a smile on someone else’s face-that can instantly take you from a lower level vibration to a place a little higher and maybe you’ll be less likely to have just one more bad thing happen to you that day.

Maybe you’ll avoid a disaster, like a car accident. Perhaps you won’t lose your job or break a bone. Yes, those are a bit extreme, but you see where I’m going with this. All negative things thrive on lower vibrations and that’s nowhere I want to be. And you must know someone who seems to live on that negative vibration all the time. You know, that person who’s a complete downer and every time they call you actually start getting a headache, or you feel drained of your life force. These are the people you’re best to start cutting out of your life. Trust me on this. Not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever. We are all living out our own karma and have our own path to journey down. Sometimes people cross your path simply to guide you in another direction. Sometimes you encounter people because you have past life issues to work out. But as soon as that karma is complete, it’s time to move on. You must always keep traveling forward and upward. Never get stuck. Never be stagnant. Never let someone pull you into a ditch with them! People love to have company in that ditch. Don’t fall into that trap. Take it from me-there’s nothing good down in that ditch.

And I want to share something that’s really important to remember-it’s sometimes hard to do-but it’s good to at least try to keep in mind. Challenges in life are the only way to gain good karma and basically points with God. Overcoming challenging situations and handling them with grace and style is how we elevate ourselves in this Universe. Nobody’s perfect-nobody handles every situation in the best way possible. But it’s a really good thing to remember the next time someone stabs you in the back or lies to you. Rather than seeking revenge, see it as them giving you a gift. They just gave you an opportunity to elevate your status in your karmic chain while they lowered their own with their negative act. And without these challenging situations, we’d never have opportunities to advance. So next time something bad happens, try to look at it in a whole new light. And by handling it in a positive way, your vibration will hopefully be raised enough that the next thing that happens to you will be something really good!
