Good Vibes Meaning… Why Positive Vibes Make You Feel Good

What does good vibes mean?

Good vibes is a slang term for positive energy vibrations felt in the body.

These higher vibrations affect those around you and lift your energy and mood, help you fulfill your potential, and attract positive energy into your life.

Good vibes feel warm, happy, and comforting.

1. Good vibes make you feel good

When you have good vibes, it means you’re energy is up! Your mood is up!

Typically, you’ll feel positive emotions like happiness, love, and kindness.

You may also feel greater safety and security, because you’re not in fear.

Create good vibes

Good vibes help you fulfill your potential, create positive emotions, and create positive energy.

And, as you choose high-vibe thoughts, you’re attracting positive energy.

When my husband was in the hospital dealing with a health challenge, we were very careful to have all people bring in good vibes and check all negative thoughts at the door.

You can 100% send positive thoughts to those you love by focusing your attention on them while thinking high-vibration thoughts.

2. Good vibes attract more

Good vibes attract more good vibes.

Because like attracts like! As your frequency goes up, you’ll attract higher frequencies.

I realize this sounds like a science fiction movie… but think about it for a moment.

When you feel a certain emotion… it changes your energy level right?

For example, happiness feels WAY different than fear. Positive feelings have different energy than negative feelings.

And when you think negative thoughts… it changes your energy level as well!

Thoughts like I can’t, I won’t, I am the worst… have a negative vibe and will certainly drop your energy like a wrecking ball drops a building!

Albert Einstein said, “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the energy you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy.”

If you want a positive life, pay attention to good vibes!

3. Good vibes attract people

Good vibes attract quality people…

As feelings and thoughts have an energy frequency, so do people.

When you are with someone, don’t you FEEL their energy?

If they are negative, you walk away feeling your energy drained.

If they are fake… same thing.

We feel people’s energy!!

So, using the same law: like attracts like… As you raise your frequency, you’ll attract others with that frequency.

4. Fulfill your potential or destiny

Good vibes help you fulfill your potential.

They even help you fulfill your destiny. As a life coach with expertise in soulfulness, we must raise our vibration to be who we’re meant to be.

Nothing creates higher vibes faster than spiritual energy. Because spirit’s energy is way higher than our dense human energy.

On page 36 in Spirited, medium Rebecca Rosen writes “For communication between the living and the dead to take place, a medium must raise his or her energy and spirit must slow its energy down. When this happens, we meet somewhere in the middle to carry out a conversation between the physical and non-physical worlds.”

As you lean into your spirit, you’re connecting to the part of you that feels unlimited.

Good vibes, not toxic positivity!

With all of this talk about good vibes… it’s VERY important to note that whole, real people have feelings that are low vibe, painful, and uncomfortable and THAT’S OK!

We must honor our emotions. Period! Otherwise they fester.

Emotions can pile up and then we explode!

Plus, feeling our emotions is how we heal! And as we heal ourselves, we heal the planet.

Here are emotional release methods to help you feel and heal.

Also, I wrote a Dr. Seuss-like poem to help people avoid toxic positivity. Sometimes a fun approach works well!

The universe is energy

Since the universe is energy, good vibes spread to those around you.

Energy moves!

You may be wondering… if good vibes are clearly better than bad vibes, why are there so many bad vibes out there?

Good question!

Because humans are flesh and blood and we get hurt… and sadly, hurt people hurt others.

It’s not the topic of this article, but the moody, self-centered ego doesn’t tend to look at the best in others or ourselves.

Each unique soul feels called to express itself!

I highly recommend A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle to find everything you need to know about the ego. It’s life-changing.

“Good Vibe” is shorthand for energy vibrations

While term good vibes may sound young and hip, or old and hippyish… it’s a funny term. However, energy is everywhere – in your body, your thoughts, and your emotions.

Vibes is shorthand for energy vibrations or frequency. 

So, let go a bit, and let the vibes flow:) 

Shoot, I’m an ex-IBMer who wore a suit every day, and when I watch Survivor and people say: I got bad vibes from Bob… 

I kind of judge the word. I’ve no idea why I do that!

It surprises me that I’d have this judgey reaction since I coined the term high-vibe thinking™ and my quick judgments reminds me of my ego’s desire to judge everything.

How do you stay in a positive vibe?

So, how do you stay with good vibes when you’re worried or afraid?

Because when you are worried, your energy drops… into the earth! We often imagine the worst possible outcome.

Instead, we need to feel what’s real, then replace negative thoughts with high-vibe thoughts.

Focus to keep the good vibes up!

Pay attention to what you put your energy into. What do you think about most of the time?

It takes a good dose of mindfulness to keep your intentions clear:  I am here to send energy that is helpful and useful in this situation.

You and I are not in charge of the outcome. Instead, our job is to be useful, helpful, supportive, encouraging, and part of healing.  Will it always produce the outcome we want??  That’s not up to us to decide. 

More on feelings

While there are many benefits of positive thinking, I’m not a huge fan of the term “positive thinking” because it’s widely misunderstood and creates toxic positivity as I mention above.

I’ve coined the term high-vibe thinking™ to encourage people to choose thinking that embraces emotions.

In my work as a life coach, I’m saddened by how many people feel guilty for their emotions. I often hear people say, I shouldn’t feel that way.

But, you do! It’s better to allow all emotion, focusing on the energy directly. The key to this is to turn off the negative thoughts and stop the negative story about the situation.

That’s where the work is. Good vibes flow more easily when we do this inner work.

Here are some great affirmations that send good vibes to others:

Good vibes quotes

Good vibes quotes are simply quotes that lift your energy and mood. They’re sayings, popular or not, that motivate us, inspire us, and remind us of how powerful we are as humans.

Because we forget! Here are some of my favorite good vibes quotes:

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Abraham Lincoln

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Nelson Mandela

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

“Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.” – Dalai Lama

When your thoughts go negative, it’s helpful to read good vibes quotes to shift your energy quickly.

The inner work

To put good vibes into the world… you’ll need to do the work on yourself.

Unfortunately, there’s no magic pill.

You radiate the energy you feel inside.

So, if you’re feeling fear much of the time, you will put fear out there.

This is the way it works.

So, work on your thoughts, growing self-love, optimism, and healing your past… it’s a journey we all must take. As you do this, your vibration will increase.

Final thoughts

Feel good vibes when you’re feeling down. Feeling good vibes is what we all need more of!

Positive vibes improve well-being, have a positive impact on others, creates positive results, and makes life better.

Good vibes create positive things in life.

This isn’t about something as simple as having a positive attitude, it’s more than that.

It is also important to remember that focusing on the positive does not mean ignoring the negative. It simply means choosing to focus on the good things in your life and the things you can control. When you focus on the positive, it can help you to feel more optimistic, hopeful, and motivated.

Good vibes can be quickly created by choosing high-vibe thinking™, and by doing the inner work to finding yourself.
