I Tried to Raise My Vibration and Accidentally Summoned Inner Peace (No, Seriously)

So, I decided to get my sh*t together… energetically.

It all started after a particularly nasty encounter with a person I’ll call “Debbie Downvibes.” You know the type. Complains about everything, lives in chaos, sucks the soul out of a room faster than a broken Dyson. After twenty minutes in her presence, I needed a nap, a cleanse, and possibly an exorcism.

I went home, Googled “Why do people make me feel like a deflated beach ball?” and ended up deep-diving into the world of vibrations, energy fields, and people who say things like 'you’re out of alignment' with a straight face. Naturally, I was intrigued.

According to the internet (and one very enthusiastic crystal shop owner)...

Everything is energy. Even your cat. Even your ex. Even the pizza you ate at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday. And it turns out, your thoughts, your feelings, your home, and your group chat with the girls all have a vibrational frequency.

Apparently, good vibes aren’t just for beach parties and Coachella anymore—they're a spiritual lifestyle, baby.

So, armed with sage, rose quartz, and more optimism than I should legally be allowed to possess before coffee, I set off to raise my vibration and become the walking Pinterest board of inner peace.

Step 1: Decluttering My Space (a.k.a. emotionally parting with 47 broken pens and 3 exes)

I Marie Kondo’d my entire apartment. If it didn’t spark joy, I yeeted it into a donation box or the trash. Did I cry while throwing out a hoodie from 2013 that still smelled like my ex’s cologne? Maybe. Did I feel lighter afterward? Absolutely.

Pro tip: Clutter = stagnant energy.

Also = emotional attachment to a life that no longer fits.

Also = dust. Lots of it.

Step 2: Protecting My Energy (because boundaries are hotter than contouring)

I made a list of energy vampires in my life. Spoiler: it was long. I realized half the people I text back out of guilt were just draining my vibe like they were sipping a margarita called “Your Mental Health.” I started using the word “No” like it was going out of style. Magical.

I even practiced energetic shielding by picturing myself inside a golden bubble. Sure, I looked ridiculous doing it in the office bathroom, but hey—protection is protection.

Step 3: The Law of Attraction (or how I accidentally manifested free coffee and a minor existential crisis)

I wrote down my goals like any good manifestation queen would:

• Attract high-vibe friendships
• Glow from within (without giving up carbs)
• Make money doing what I love (ideally while wearing pajamas)

Then I repeated affirmations in the mirror. Loudly. Until my neighbor knocked and asked if I was okay. (I was. I was vibrating higher, Carol.)

Did it work? Actually… yes. Opportunities started flowing in. I got offered a project, made a new friend who doesn’t emotionally drain me, and my skin started clearing up. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Step 4: Daily Energy Hygiene (because vibes get crusty too, okay?)

I started:

• Smudging my apartment like a dramatic witch in a Netflix series
• Taking salt baths like a mermaid with chronic anxiety
• Listening to 528Hz music like I understood what 528Hz actually means
• Dancing in my kitchen at 7 a.m. because movement moves energy (and because I forgot I left the blinds open… sorry neighbors)

Step 5: Spreading Good Vibes (without being a toxic positivity unicorn)

Listen, no one likes that person who’s always like “Just think positive!” when you’re clearly mid-meltdown, holding a croissant like it’s the last shred of hope. So I found real ways to spread good energy:

• Actually listening when people talk
• Complimenting strangers without expecting anything in return
• Sending memes instead of unsolicited advice
• Laughing. A lot. Because joy is revolutionary

So… did I become a fully enlightened, floating ball of light?

Not exactly. I still overthink texts. I still have days where my vibe is lower than my Wi-Fi signal. But now? I notice it. I shift it. I have tools. I have boundaries. And most importantly, I have sage.

Raising your vibration isn’t about being perfect. It’s about choosing better energy one awkward, crystal-infused step at a time.

Final Thought:

If you’re feeling like your soul is running on 5%, your energy’s leaking like a broken air mattress, and your spirit animal is a wilted houseplant… this might be your sign.

Grab the sage. Light the candle. Declutter the junk. Say the affirmation. Shake your butt to Beyoncé. Whatever it takes.

Because you, my friend, are meant to radiate.

And trust me—it’s worth it.
