Every single thing in life is made up of energy, and every feeling you have influences your choices and informs your actions. I love this simple feel, choose, act reminder. It’s like a mantra for me, and now you can use this Strider Saying too! #FeelChooseAct
On today’s wise walk, we discuss four ways to spark our Heart Vibe and ride the highs as long as we can. There are more than a handful of ways to manage our lows and cherish our highs, so get creative and decide what works for you and post them on Instagram @truestridebuzz so we can continue to inspire each other.
The thought-provoking questions on our minds during this wise walk are: What activity, person, place, or thing sparks your Heart Vibe? How often do you compliment yourself like you would a best friend? What choices can you make to get your endorphins going? Who in your life fuels your positive energy and increases your Heart Vibe?
Listen to learn ways to make your Heart Vibe happy. For me, it’s activities of all types like card games with my sister Heather and friend Deanna. So explore what sparks your Heart Vibe and brainstorm activities that align with your stride.
People in your life can spark your Heart Vibe as well. I love spending time with my nieces and nephew because they make me laugh so much that I can’t help but be energized. Another person who always brings a smile to my face is my cousin Debbie, who is probably the one person in my life who can talk me into anything like riding a mechanical bull at a bar in Manhattan. Chauncey, the mechanical bull operator, thought it was funny that we called him out on the way he treated women who rode the bull, but you will have to listen to hear that story. The point of this story is, Debbie makes me laugh and always sparks my Heart Vibe.
Places can also spark your Heart Vibe, whether you are home, a restaurant, or just out at a bar with a friend. My friend Jenn used to love going to a bar in SoHo for her weekly dose of fun.
Things can also spark your Heart Vibe, like essential oils, fresh-cut flowers, or different pictures that remind you what’s important in your life. My family wears a black bracelet that says #Ibelieveinmiracles in support of JT and Aunt Caron who are battling cancer. My niece Micheala and I love crystals and learning about their healing properties. Our shared interest and our conversations spark my Heart Vibe.
You can spark your Heart Vibe every single day through activities, the people in your life, places, or things that can help you be present and connect with your heart. These things all vibrate energy.
Are you taking time to notice how those energies make you feel and then making choices and taking actions that intentionally spark your Heart Vibe and move in the direction you want to go?
