What is your Vibe?
I am sure you have heard the expression, “Your vibe attracts your tribe.” Have you ever thought deeper about this expression and taken a real look at yourself? When you look at your life, who are the closest people to you?
Motivational speaker John Rohan says, “You are an average of the five people you spend the
most time with.” Take a moment to really think about who you are closest to and how your life is impacted by them. Are they the type of people who inspire you? Do they encourage you to be the best version of yourself? Or do they pull you down and keep you stuck? If it is the latter it is time to seriously start to change your vibe so that you attract higher quality people into your life.
If you want to change the situation you are in, the first step is to become aware of it then to take conscious steps to shift your reality. When I was a new mom, almost all of the people I spent my time with were also new moms. This makes sense. I attracted other new moms because we were all vibrating the new mom vibe of survival. It was a great tribe to attract at that time because I needed other people who understood what it was like to have a newborn. I am super grateful for having that tribe at that time.
As time passed and I went back to work after my maternity leave, I began to realize I had bigger aspirations and goals. I finished my Masters Degree while working full-time and in the middle of a divorce. During this time I began to attract other single parents into my life because we all had a deeper understanding of what we were all going through. Many of the single moms I attracted at this time, I am still very close with because they are some of the most inspirational people I know.
Whenever I feel stuck I begin soul searching and visualizing what I really want to attract
into my life. Often I have many goals and ideas in my head but do not know where to start.
Every time I begin my journey to achieve a new goal, amazing new people start popping into my life. It is like the universe sends me just the right people at just the right time.
My new tribe of entrepreneurial people who aim high, do not let having a family or a divorce stop them from working on their aspirations.
Sometimes you meet people and just know they are completely inspirational. These are
the type of people you want to begin to surround yourself with when you make the decision to shift your life. You know who those people are, they are the ones who just ooze a confident presence and are driven by their passions.
If you do not know anyone right now who oozes confidence and inspiration, don’t worry. They will start popping into your life at the perfect time as you start to change your vibration.
For example, when I wrote my first children’s book this happened to me. The perfect people
started popping into my life. My original plan for my book was to make it on my computer and use the macbook printing services to print one copy for me to use in my classroom. As I was in the process of illustrating my book, a friend tagged me in a post on Facebook where a lady was looking for an illustrator. I did not end up illustrating for her at all but this friend connected me with exactly the right person I needed to meet to grow and expand on my book idea.
She was looking for an illustrator but was also coaching people how to self-publish on Amazon. I didn’t even know this option existed at the time so I ended up taking her course and learned how to self-publish my first book on Amazon. Another tag on Facebook was also how I got my first job as an illustrator. Once you start taking little steps towards your goals it is almost like magic, the right people will show up to help guide and inspire you to keep going.
As I embark on my entrepreneurial journey I now look at my tribe and the people who are
closest to me are entrepreneurs and business owners who I am completely inspired by and
want to learn from. Some of these people I have never even met in real life. Over a year ago on a facebook group of women entrepreneurs someone posted that they were looking for speakers on their talk show. So wanting to grow and learn I sent her a message. Turns out she lives in the United Kingdom and I live in Canada, and the timing was so perfect that I could be on the talk show before I went to work because 1pm UK time is 7am my time. This has allowed me to make connections with amazing people worldwide.
Part of attracting the right people is your vibe but it also involves taking action. If I had just seen the posts and not done anything about them I would not have grown. The universe may be sending you many people who will shift your life but you have to be open and ready to let them in otherwise the opportunity will pass.
If you had told me 9 years ago that before I was 41, I would have illustrated and self-published 9 children’s books while working full-time and being a single parent, I would have laughed at you and said that is not possible. Yet here I am. If you want something bad enough you have to start taking action, and you will attract just the right people to help you grow.
