Positive energy is essential for maintaining a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. It influences our mindset, emotions, and interactions with others. By incorporating simple habits and practices into your daily routine, you can uplift your mood, reduce stress, and create a more optimistic outlook. In this article, we explore 9 effective ways to boost positive energy and bring more joy and balance into your life.
There is no bottomless pit to find positive energy. But certain actions allow us to awaken the one that lies dormant within us. Here are 9 ways to stimulate it.
In nature
Certain plants are said to have the power to invigorate our mood and our confidence. This is the case for rosemary, jasmine, cactus, mint, aloe, thyme, eucalyptus, chrysanthemums and many others too. In fact, contact with nature forces us to see life differently and, often, more positively.
Suggestion: go out early in the morning to find yourself in a park and sit against a tree to read, write or simply observe.
In positive places
There are places that give off more positive vibes than others. We feel better at the public market than in a grocery store for example. We relax more in a friendly café than in a fast food restaurant. We feel more well-being in a library than at the bank.
Suggestion: we meet in a place that makes us feel good, one-on-one with ourselves.
In smells
Our olfactory memory can help us stimulate our positive energy. We list the smells that immerse us in sweet and good memories.
Suggestion: we offer ourselves a fragrant gift (flower, perfume, detour to a pastry shop, etc.) that helps us replenish our reserve of optimism.
In the “after effort”
After having done a physical exertion (sport or other), we feel the benefits of a good surge of endorphins. These pleasure hormones help us feel good and ready for new challenges. Moving is good. But the “after” is even better!
Suggestion: when we feel that our morale is a little low, we get active by thinking about the benefits that we will feel afterwards.
In The music
We have to admit, there are songs that make us want to sing (and so, we shake our endorphins, again!) and that even make us smile! There is no harm in belting out (or even dancing!) to a song from our adolescence if it makes us feel good!
Suggestion: create a playlist of “morale-boosting” songs that we listen to on repeat when our positivity wavers a little.
In a book or a film
As with music, some films or books have the power to make us feel good. Because they are inspiring or because they resonate with us, we consume them to gain new energy that pushes us to act.
Suggestion: keep our classics to ourselves and treat ourselves to a cure (of reading or watching) if we feel like we need a boost to move us forward.
Near the water
The sound of water is soothing. Especially if we don’t hear it as often as we’d like. The sound of waves coming and going, the lapping of a lake, the gurgling of a stream, and even the music of rain on a gray day can have a positive effect on us.
Suggestion: You can find several water sound tracks on YouTube to turn to when you can’t be near water. Sometimes, that’s enough… until the next time you can go there.
In the water
A jump in a pool! A long bath! An invigorating shower! We’ve heard it before (from our mother or our best friend): being in the water allows us to clear our minds. Sometimes it’s not so much the water that gives us energy, but the quiet time we give ourselves…
Suggestion: Innovate by declaring, a few times a week, that we’re giving ourselves a “creative break” in our bath. And we read 5 tips for a perfect bath!
In our passions
Doing what we love allows us to let a beneficial current circulate within us that helps us to have more self-confidence while giving us a feeling of fullness. Without a doubt, we come out of our activities related to our passions and our creativity with renewed positive energy.
Suggestion: we make a list of the activities that we like to do, but that we do too rarely. Once a day, we give ourselves at least 5 or 10 minutes to do one. Positive change on the horizon!
How to attract positive energy from universe
You want to focus on aligning with positive thoughts, feelings and actions to manifest whatever it is you want in your life. Self-awareness, intention, and who you are energetically dictates who you are attracting so be mindful of the energy that you give out. The first step is to have a mindset of gratitude and visualization. Being grateful for what you already have, tells the universe you are open and will receive more. Before I move to my next tip, visualization is a great technique to get you to picture your goals in full detail.
Another attraction of positive energy lies in mindfulness practice. By being in the present moment, you can identify and release any negative patterns that may be causing a block in your energy flow. Grounded and receptive, mindfulness can also be achieved through meditation, deep breathing exercises, or just allowing a moment of quiet to soak in the beauty in front of you. Moreover, you need to surround yourself with a supportive and empowering atmosphere suited for your mental and emotional well-being. The company you keep greatly affects the energy you draw to yourself.
Kindness and generosity also create truly positive energy. When you freely give, be it time, resources, or support, it creates a ripple toward you that invites positivity back into your life. To finish, trust the process, and trust that the universe knows best for you. That belief brings peace and patience, naturally attracting opportunities and connections along the way. By doing so, you’ll have an invisible energy like the awakening of sweet bliss, flowing to and through you and out to all that surround you.
Boosting positive energy is about making intentional choices that enhance your well-being and mindset.
