Good Vibes - Start Raising your Vibration
Good Vibes-you hear it all the time, see it written/branded on virtually anything, and is normally heard coming from laid back, easy going people. But what exactly does it mean?
Good vibes is a slang phrase for the positive feelings given off by a person, place, or situation (thanks www.dictionary.com )
So where did it start? The early instances of “good vibrations” was used in a metaphysical sense for “positive energy,” and occurs in Frank Earl Ormsby’s astrology 1893 text The Law and the Prophets.
However, the phrase was actually popularized by The Beach boys in the 1966 single “Good Vibrations.” Apparently, Brian Wilson said that when he was writing the song he took inspiration from the stories his mother would tell about picking up different ‘vibes’ from different people. He also wanted to name the song Good Vibes, but at the time, vibes, was slang and deemed too trendy. (Oh how the tides have changed) Moving forward through history the term took root, and was used to describe a person’s intuition about another person, place, personality or style.
Now widely used across different cultures it is mostly associated with the surf culture, hippies, bohemian culture, and new age. We see it and hear it everywhere now describing different feelings, and actions. We use it to express positive feelings or hope from a person or environment. There are lots of different ways to say we are feeling the “good vibrations.” My favorite seems to be the ultimate slang version: ‘good vibes’
How Good Vibes Creative Ave Came to Be...
Good Vibes Creative Ave (GVCA) was created because I believe that a positive mindset can help you change your life. I’m not talking about the toxic positivity, where people dismiss your negative emotions with a positive saying. Believe it or not, we need all emotions, and we need to learn how to acknowledge and regulate them. This is part of having emotional intelligence, and self-awareness. You have every right to feel your emotions good and bad, don’t dismiss the bad emotions either. Toxic positivity dismisses your negative emotions, and that’s not okay.
For me, living a ‘Good Vibes’ life is about learning to live a positive and healthy life. GVCA is here to evoke an emotional connection with you, and inspire you to change your mindset from negative to positive.
If you’re looking to jump start your own positivity the 3-Minute Positivity Workbook by Susan Reynolds is a great place to start! She breaks down why you can’t just be ‘happy’ all the time (neither possible, nor desirable she states) but helps you understand how to use all of your emotions (negative + positive) to help you become your best self.
Now, let’s break down the rest of what Good Vibes Creative Ave is about. The creative avenue comes from the ability or power to create. Avenue is a way of approaching something (a problem) or making progress toward something. Together it is the ability to create a solution to a problem and make progress towards a goal with imagination.
All together Good Vibes Creative Ave is here to emit all the positivity (not toxic cause we need all those emotions, we just need to learn to harness them) while creating an imaginative solution for this negative life. The possibilities and good vibes are endless:) So let’s share the good vibes, be the good vibes, and be able to vibrate a little higher each day.
I’m ready for this Good Vibes life adventure and I’m sending all the Good Vibes your way 🙂
