In the real, non-virtual world the old truth is telling us that if one plays with fire he/she will get burned. My own variation of that saying applicable to the bloggosphere would need to go something like “if you start a blog and network with other bloggers, you will get tagged!�? And so it happened to me. Finally I must say.

After few months of running my beloved Sound Of Gold, one of the good people of Breathing Prosperity, Shauna, has pinged me with the tag to participate in OptimistLab’s game called How I raise my vibes (read the rules there). As you can see, a topic, perhaps rather soul searching for some.

The top spots on my list of “vibe-raisers�? would need to be occupied by (in no particular order):

Family and friends
The people I love and hang around most are the ones, who have the powers to raise my vibes in no time. Most probably because they know me so well its scary and always know which button to push in order for me to regroup.

Sports and exercise
A real good hard workout or long run in a park works for me every time. I am not sure if that’s the deep mental focus required by most of the physical sport activities, the physical pain and exhaustion or just the related endorphin chemistry of the brain, but it works for me without a fail. Exhausted, but happy with a clear head, I am able to refocus on what is really important and suppress the creeping negativity. On top of that, keeping in a good physical shape somehow also transpires into feeling good about myself and the things I do. If you feel good about yourself hardly anything can bring you down.

Fine dining
Call me simple but a very basic act of enjoying a quality meal in pleasant environment surrounded by interesting people can fill me up with a great portion of happiness and satisfaction about this world. Needless to say it often provides that much required soothing effect during the tougher periods in life. Word of caution though: this “vibe-raiser�? should only be exercised in close coordination with the one just above

Appreciation for my work
I think I am not the only one who likes to be praised for his doings. Seeing that other people feel, understand and appreciate things I do is one of the greatest sources of motivation I found to date. In my mind, such appreciation tackles head on one of my biggest life “fears�?: uselessly wasting the time given to me and growing old without even leaving some positive mark behind.

Music
No need to reinvent the wheel, let’s just say, that somehow the right tune at the right time holds enough strength to get me up on my “positive feet�? no matter how strong a blow had I received. I am fairly certain, that most of you have similar experiences.

And that is my little list. Now looking around at other game entries, I see that most of the participants approached the topic from perhaps much more motivational angle than I have. So enjoy the variety.
