We all strive to live happy and fulfilling lives, but sometimes, our habits can unknowingly destroy positive vibrations. Discover what to avoid.
Vibrations refer to the energy we emit and attract into our lives. When our vibrations are high, we tend to attract positive experiences and people, while low vibrations can bring about negativity and challenges.
What Habits Sabotage Positive Vibrations?
Let me give you 15 examples. Yes, only 15, even if there are at least twice as many possible cases. Just be more alert to your daily habits to notice how often you sabotage high vibrations daily.
These habits listed below are, however, the most destructive and need to be addressed immediately. Otherwise, your vibes will plummet:
1. Negative Self-Talk Can Sabotage Positive Vibrations
One of the most common habits that kill vibrations is negative self-talk. Constantly criticizing and manifesting self-doubt lowers your self-esteem and attracts more negativity.
Eventually, you can come down with depression and suicidal thoughts. Plus, all your negativity will materialise as toxic people, dismissal from your job and a breakup.
Replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations and watch your vibrations rise. Recommended reading:
2. Holding onto Grudges
Harbouring grudges and holding onto past grievances drains your energy and keeps you stuck in a negative mindset. You also risk depression and alienation as no one wants to stay with someone who complains about friends’ and family’s flaws all the time.
Learn to forgive and let go, allowing positive vibrations to flow freely. More reading about forgiveness:
3. Surrounding Yourself with Toxic People
The company we keep has a significant impact on our vibrations. You can easily absorb and apply their habits and even be unaware of them. It is said that we become the ones we spend the most time with.
Why is it so dangerous? Surrounding yourself with negative people who constantly complain and bring you down can lower your vibrations. They will drain your energy, and you will start complaining as well.
Choose to spend time with positive, uplifting individuals who inspire and motivate you. If you are not sure how to stop being a victim, read this article:
4. Lack of Gratitude
Not expressing gratitude for the blessings in your life can hinder your vibrations. You focus on lack and are never enough. Other people can easily manipulate your desire to be rich, famous and influential. You risk a multitude of complexes and low self-esteem.
Therefore, take time each day to acknowledge and appreciate the good things you have. Gratitude raises your vibrations and attracts more positivity into your life.
5. Living in the Past or Future
Constantly dwelling on past regrets or worrying about the future can prevent you from keeping high vibrations. You focus on something that is gone or that has not been created yet
To keep your vibes high, practice mindfulness and focus on the here and now. Only by conscious creation can you attract positive experiences to your life.
6. Lack of Self-Care
Neglecting your physical, mental, and emotional well-being can lower your vibrations. Think about how you feel the next day after eating junk food or venting your anger on your spouse.
Make self-care a priority by engaging in activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul. Take care of yourself, and watch your vibrations thrive.
7. Complaining Sabotage Positive Vibrations
Complaining brings down your vibrations and spreads negativity to those around you. Instead of complaining, focus on finding solutions and expressing gratitude for what you have. Positivity breeds positivity.
8. Resistance to Change
Resisting change and clinging to old patterns can hinder your growth and keep your vibrations stagnant. Embrace change as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Adaptability and openness raise your vibrations and attract positive outcomes.
9. Lack of Boundaries Sabotage Positive Vibrations
Allowing others to cross your boundaries and constantly sacrificing your own needs can deplete your energy and lower your vibrations. Set healthy boundaries and prioritize self-care. When you honour your own needs, you attract positive vibrations into your life.
10. Comparison and Jealousy Can Sabotage Positive Vibrations
Constantly comparing yourself to others and feeling jealous of their success or possessions can create a negative mindset and lower your vibration.
Focus on your journey and celebrate the successes of others. Embrace a mindset of abundance, and watch your vibrations rise.
11. Mistreating Yourself and Other Beings
Any sort of hurtful, selfish, and unconscious behaviour has a low vibe. When you understand that life is interconnected and that one thing affects another (the law of cause and effect):
Then, you do not treat your environment, other people, or yourself badly because you understand that everything you do affects the big picture.
12. Mindless Activities Sabotage Positive Vibrations
Mindless activities include browsing social media or the internet for no real purpose and doing things that do not make you feel happy and alive.
Watching commercials, reality TV shows, other mindless programs, or working a job you hate all stir low-vibrational emotions.
Playing violent video games and watching YouTube videos just to kill time also stile good vibrations.
The same applies to reading gossip magazines, engaging in drama at work, complaining about something you cannot change, and other activities that evoke a fear-based emotion.
They are also stimulating, draining your energy, making you feel worse about yourself, and lowering your vibrational frequency.
13. Addictive Behaviors Sabotage High Vibrations
This can come in all forms, and they’re sometimes disguised and dressed as “bad habits.” Addictions are an attachment to some outside source or activity to fill some inner void or emptiness.
Some of these addictions are so subtle, though, that you probably don’t even realize how active they are in your life, and you certainly aren’t aware of the fact that you rely on them for some sort of fulfillment.
This is why it is so vital to a) start paying attention to your habits and b) be super honest with yourself about how they make you feel and why you do them.
Addictions Sabotage High Vibrations
Some obvious addictions are drinking, smoking, sex, drugs, gambling, and overeating, while some more subtle ones are watching TV, shopping, working, browsing social media, gossiping, complaining, checking your phone constantly, or any other form of distraction from the reality that you do regularly.
Although alcohol might give the illusion that you feel good, it is just that, an illusion. Alcohol alters your mind and gives you an initial buzz that makes you feel great temporarily, but when it wears off, it leaves you feeling low on energy, unmotivated, irritable, and feeling like you need more of it to make you happy. It’s a downward spiral into addiction.
When we are buzzed, we “feel happy,” but don’t let that feeling trick you into believing that that is true happiness. Ultimately, alcohol is a way to escape from the realities of your life and/or to enhance your life in some way.
Both, however, are based on the feeling that the way you and your life are is not good enough, and you need a lil’ somethin’ extra to spice things up. Instead of looking to alcohol to make you feel better, why not focus on finding true happiness within, without the help of a substance or chemical?
14. Using Disempowering Language
Using foul language, such as cursing and expressing ourselves aggressively, emits negative energy. Just listen to someone when they are swearing or pay attention to yourself and notice how it sounds. I can assure you that anger and irritation will usually kick in.
Swearing is unnecessary to communicate your message, although it is often used to react to negative emotions such as anger and disappointment.
Hence, if you tend to swear a lot, try to omit swear words from your conversations and see how effective you still are and how much more respectable you sound.
15. Living Against Your Life Values Can Sabotage High Vibrations
When you do things that go against your values, you are going against your truth. It is seen when you act against the values of light. Think of lying, for example. How do you feel afterwards?
Yes, it sounds inauthentic. In other words, you become fake, not being true to yourself. Consequently, you are living in a lie, a state of low vibrations.
Bonus Negative Habit: Eating Lov-Vibrational Food
The food we have available today is of questionable quality and can sabotage high vibrations. You can hardly avoid altered, processed, enhanced, and modified foods.
Grocery stores and petrol stations are full of toxic, processed foods, and most restaurants, especially fast food and big chains use low-quality ingredients.
When can food sabotage high vibrations? When it is chemically enhanced or genetically modified, even if producers claim to be “healthy” or “natural,” “sugar-free,” “fat-free,” or “antibiotic-free.”
Eating animals and animal products is also not only contributing to the animal cruelty taking place in slaughterhouses, torturing and murdering these innocent beings but is horrible for your health as well.

In a Nutshell
By being mindful of these habits that sabotage positive vibrations, you can actively work towards raising your energy and attracting positive experiences into your life. Remember, small changes in our habits can make a big difference in our overall well-being. Choose positivity, practice self-care, and watch your vibrations soar!
