There's this vibe

Open your eyes and heart and allow yourself to feel the vibes around you...

You cannot see it, but you can feel it deep down. The vibes are within you; you attribute these vibes to things, objects, people based on the level of value and meaning you attach to them. Just like a mirror, you would normally expect that, once you've distributed your vibes, everything surrounding you will automatically reflect these vibes back.

Ideally, this would be the case: " I share my good vibrant vibes with everyone, knowing that everyone in return will do the exact same thing and that ultimately, we will all connect on a vibe level the same way"

While some experiences have proved me that it is possible that people can equally connect on a vibe level, other experiences, however, have taught me that there can be a mischievous exchange of vibes, almost like a theft. The difference? In the first case, you feel fulfilled, cared for, acknowledged, with a strong sense of meaning and belonging; the latter, underlines a feeling of being taken for granted, combined with betrayal and disappointment, not sure of whether to showcase your good vibes with others anymore.

Alright, let me clarify something: there are two types of vibing

When meeting someone with positive vibes , it is very enchanting, for both myself and the other person, to charge ourselves , by giving and receiving the same genuine vibes to each other. It goes without saying, that a scenario like this lifts you up instantly and gives you power and motivation to keep going. You know that, whatever happens, in whichever situation, this person will be by your side, filling you with good energy to get back on track; and the same goes vice versa.

When interacting with people with slightly negative vibes...again, you feel it. You suddenly feel exhausted, lacking motivation, perhaps some headaches too; but simply said, this kind of vibe is draining you. It can be that you don't become aware of this right away, but the more time you spend surrounded by people displaying this kind of vibes, the more plausible that you end up being one of them, adopting the same energy.

Now, it is a CHOICE of whether you want to preserve, to protect your good vibes from being misused, or to fall in the trap, by becoming a prisoner of something you no longer can control or be aware of that you perform.

So, hoping you would go for the first option of preserving your vibes, I congratulate you on that; you've made a wise decision that will surely benefit you long-term in keeping you mentally healthy and happy. Now comes the question, how do you preserve your good vibes?

I would say you need to know the people you are dealing with, by giving them time in order to "test the waters". No, you are not testing them, you just wait and see if they are worthy of your time and effort. Meaning, if you get hints that this person has pure intentions and means well and shares the same good vibes as you, you might as well conclude that it is safe to reveal your positive vibes as well. As such, you have a connection going on, you both feel happy as you are both feeding with each other's level of joy and positivity; it's a mutual thing and it feels good!

The moment you feel that something just doesn't click, you cannot force it, as it wouldn't feel natural anymore. If it doesn't vibe, it doesn't vibe... and that is fine. You don't need to vibe with everyone; just with the ones who vibe the same rythm as you. This way it will all make sense, life will make sense and gain meaning.
