5 Habits that Instantly RAISE YOUR VIBE (You Will Feel Amazing)

About this video

Kegley argues that because, he says, conservatively 40% of daily behaviour is habitual and on autopilot, changing daily habits matters more than thoughts or motivation for raising your ‘vibe’ — which he defines as moving from lower emotions such as shame, guilt, fear and anger toward peace, love and presence, with more energy to act. He offers five habits. First, visualisation: citing a finger-exercise study in which, he says, a group that only visualised gained strength, he claims the brain does not distinguish vividly imagined from experienced events, so visualise a ‘2.0 version’ of yourself daily via a vision board or a written perfect day. Second, meditation, which he says can increase empathy and compassion and reduce anxiety-related activity, starting with breathwork then observing thoughts without judgement — a practice he says gave him benefits drinking once did, without the downside. Third, journaling, including morning pages and his six-section journal. Fourth, self-awareness through knowing and using your strengths. Fifth, energy management through 30-day elimination tests.

Key takeaways

• Visualise your 2.0 self daily: Kegley suggests a modern vision board or writing out your perfect day hour by hour, including where you live, what you do and how you feel.
• Meditate by starting with two rounds of breathwork to occupy an overactive mind, then sit for 10-15 minutes observing thoughts without judging or wrestling with them.
• Journal as an active form of meditation: try Julia Cameron’s morning pages — a sheet of stream-of-consciousness writing each morning — or Kegley’s six-section journal with a 2.0 vision and goals on its covers.
• Know your signature strengths and use them often: drawing on Martin Seligman, Kegley says happy people do this; he also advises defining big concepts like happiness, courage and a good life for yourself in writing.
• Manage energy by elimination: run 30-day tests cutting things such as processed sugar, diet soda/artificial sweeteners or alcohol, and judge by your own experience rather than other people’s claims.
