Summer is in full swing: The sun is out. The days are longer. There's places to go and people to see. Summer 2019 has been spectacular so far... yet for some reason, Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" has re-entered the US iTunes charts. What's going on? Are we all in a collective funk? Luckily, even if you're experiencing some summertime sadness, there's still hope you can make this one of the most amazing summers you will ever experience. The trick is to actively raise your vibrations to attract good feeling thoughts, experiences, and people into your life.

A brief explanation: Everything has vibrational energy. We are all vibrating at different frequencies and your thoughts control this frequency. Meanwhile, similar frequencies attract one another — as the law of attraction states, like attracts like. The more you dwell on the bad, the more you contribute to these lower vibrations and attract them back to you.

Our goal is to manifest the most fabulous, fun, and thrilling summer possible. It's time we raise our vibrations so that we can allow these amazing experience into our lives. Here's how!

As we stated before, everything has vibrational energy and the more organic and alive it is, the higher the vibration... which means nature is buzzing with high vibes. So go outside, kick off your shoes and sink your toes into the grass. Just connecting with nature on this basic level will feel invigorating. Go on a hike and stop and take in the beauty surrounding you. Picnic in the park. Being in nature will skyrocket your own vibrational frequency to help you attract more high-vibe experiences.

We know that the new season of "Stranger Things" was just released, but log out of your Netflix account now! It's time to put down your phone and stop scrolling through Instagram. And honestly, step away from your computer (once you're done reading this article, of course).

Our lives have become inundated with technology, which is the furthest thing away from nature. While technology has its perks, it comes with some downsides, too: It's been proven that our favorite social media sites contribute to depression and anxiety, which are decidedly low vibe feelings (and we want high vibes that'll manifest greatness remember?).

I find that Instagram can become debilitating at times. I'll see friends and acquaintances living their best lives, taking trips, and eating the most delicious food, while I'm stuck at a 9 to 5 or daydreaming in my tiny apartment. The constant comparisons become destructive to my own happiness. Comparing lives is truly the killer of joy. At those moments, I turn my phone completely off and do something to raise my spirits.

It's tempting to grab your cell phone when you wake up in the morning... but scrolling mindlessly on your app of choice can rack up time wasted. Why not spend that time writing down three things you are grateful for instead? Starting your day with gratitude is a great way to raise your vibrations. Expressing gratitude puts you in a space of allowance that'll help attract more great things back to you.

Already have a few awesome things that have happened this summer? Write them down and express gratitude for them. I promise more and more glorious moments will follow. If mornings are a drag, you can also down the things you are grateful for as part of your nighttime routine. I keep a journal beside my bedside table at all times so I can write down my gratitude list, morning or night!

Eating high vibe foods will not only make you feel great internally but will also raise your own vibration. High vibe foods come directly from grown, organic and/or unprocessed foods. When you're at the grocery store, peruse the organic food aisle. Yes, organic foods can be more costly, but in the long run it will be better for your health. I tend to make sure I frequent my local farmers market whenever I get a chance. Not only do I buy the tastiest fruits and veggies there, but I also get to meet some of the coolest people in my city.

My friends, it's time to swap the Doritos for blueberries. The cookies for an avocado. That pizza you've been craving for a banana. I know it doesn't sound fun, but look at all you will manifest once you do. Eat living foods and you'll be soaring high with your vibrations.
