How do you know if your vibration is low?
The answer is easy:
Your vibration is low if you feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained. It can manifest in a variety of ways, such as exhaustion, anxiety, bad moods, or fatigue.
And guess what? You might be responsible for it!
I can think of 24 things that lower your vibration without you realizing it.
Are you curious to find out more?
Good!
Read on, and you’ll undoubtedly discover at least one of them that you’re guilty of.
1) You don’t drink enough water
Something as simple as not drinking enough water has the power to lower your vibration.
How come?
You must know that there are dozens of toxic products everywhere nowadays. They’re mostly found in food, so they can affect your health and energy levels negatively.
On top of that, if you’re dehydrated, your body might be storing unneeded toxins. Therefore, you need to drink enough water to help your body get rid of them.
Water is also important for brain function, as it helps transmit electrical signals throughout the body. Thus, ensuring the proper flow of energy.
2) You spend a ridiculous amount of time online
To be fair, it’s not always your fault if you spend too much time online. But if you constantly use social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more, then your vibration is definitely lowering.
Why? Because the internet creates isolation. It creates a bubble that seals you off from the real world.
And how does that affect your vibration? Well, you’ll find it harder to keep a positive mindset in the real world if you’re spending too much time online.
The explanation? Your emotions can’t be fully controlled in the virtual world.
3) Your home and workspace are a mess
Chaos can be found everywhere in your home and workspace. And that can lower your vibration.
Because if you live in such a mess, you’ll probably feel stressed out when you go back home or when you arrive at the office.
Lack of order and decluttering can also lower your vibration because it makes everything more difficult.
When there’s no order, it’s harder to find what you’re looking for. And that can lead to frustration. In turn, you’ll feel drained.
4) You embrace addictive behaviors
Want to know another thing that lowers your vibration without you realizing it? Addiction.
Now, addiction can manifest in different ways.
For example, it can be spending too much time in front of a screen. Or drinking too much coffee. It doesn’t have to be something seriously damaging.
Simple things such as shopping too much, smoking, or eating more than you should fit into the same category. Each of them is a form of escapism that lowers your vibration.
How many of these behaviors do you engage in?
5) You are far from being an optimistic person
Being optimistic is a great way to raise your vibration.
On the other hand, being pessimistic lowers it.
How does that work?
Worries, anxieties, and fears weigh you down. They distract your attention and make it harder to stay focused on things that are positive.
The result? Well, your vibration will be lower.
In what way?
You see, when your thoughts are filled with worries and anxieties, you’re actually feeding negative feelings.
And guess what? Negative feelings lower your vibration and make it harder to attract good things into your life.
6) You make decisions based on fear
Fear is your greatest enemy if you’re trying not to lower your vibration. Why? Because fear limits your thoughts and decisions. It holds you back from things that might benefit you.
That’s why I think it’s important to be aware of fear. Then, you can avoid giving in to it and be happy with your life as it is.
You see, being afraid is something that can lower your vibration because it makes you feel small and powerless. It also prevents you from making decisions based on what makes sense to you.
7) You took the wrong turn in your spiritual journey
Here’s another thing that could lower your vibration without you realizing it: buying into toxic spirituality.
Let me ask you this:
When it comes to your personal spiritual journey, which toxic habits have you unknowingly picked up?
Is it the need to be positive all the time? Is it a sense of superiority over those who lack spiritual awareness?
Even well-meaning gurus and experts can get it wrong.
The result is that you end up achieving the opposite of what you’re searching for. You do more to harm yourself than to heal.
You may even hurt those around you.
In this eye-opening video, the shaman Rudá Iandé explains how so many of us fall into the toxic spirituality trap. He himself went through a similar experience at the start of his journey.
As he mentions in the video, spirituality should be about empowering yourself. Not suppressing emotions, not judging others, but forming a pure connection with who you are at your core.

Even if you’re well into your spiritual journey, it’s never too late to unlearn the myths you’ve bought for truth!
8) You find joy and satisfaction in material things
Materialism and spirituality are completely opposite things. The first focuses on the external world, while the second focuses on the internal world.
Yet, many people are confused and don’t know where to look for the meaning of life. That’s why they try to find it in material things instead of inner peace and spiritual growth.
And the worst part? Materialism also lowers your vibration because it keeps you distracted from what truly matters: your perception of happiness and joy.
When you buy into materialism, you’re actually looking for happiness outside of yourself.
9) You often use bad language to express yourself
Picture this: You are yelling at a work colleague, using bad language, and expressing yourself negatively. So what happens? You emit negative energy.
The spiritual effects of swearing are well known. You lower your vibration, and you feel drained afterward.
But that’s not the worst part. Your energy is actually being sent throughout the room, affecting other people as well.
Therefore, swearing has been scientifically proven to hurt your relationships a lot because it’s not only lowering your vibration without you realizing it but also because you affect other people emotionally and energetically.
10) You are not being your authentic self
When a person is authentic, it means that they are being true to themselves.
When a person doesn’t go against their values, it also means that they are being true to themselves.
When a person isn’t fake, it means they are not unknowingly lowering their vibration.
You, on the other hand, might be unknowingly lowering your vibration by not being yourself.
In short, something as insignificant as pretending to like someone’s shoes can have a negative impact on your vibration by lowering it.
Another example? When a person is walking around with a fake smile, they lower their vibration and they’re doing it without realizing it.
11) You often watch violent TV programs
Obviously, it’s not always easy to avoid violent programs and movies when you’re watching TV.
But can watching violence on TV really lower your vibration?
Yes, it can!
When you watch violent TV programs, you’re actually being exposed to violence. And that’s something that lowers your vibration.
The mechanism is simple. When you watch violence, you are exposed to violent energy. And that means you’re charging yourself with negative feelings and emotions.
Also, the violence you’re seeing could make you feel fear and anger. And when you feel these negative emotions, your vibration drops.
12) You are not doing things for others
The majority of the people I know are self-centered. And that’s a bad thing.
The problem is that we tend to think about ourselves and our needs first and then about how we can help others. We only think about our own well-being, forget about the happiness of others, and forget about our impact on other people as well.
Selfishness and self-centeredness can lower your vibration. Why? Because in order to raise your vibration, you have to start thinking about how you can help others and about how you can bring more good into the world.
13) You do not meditate regularly
Meditation has a lot of spiritual effects. And when you don’t do it regularly, it’s easy to feel drained afterward.
What’s more, regular meditation helps you achieve peace of mind and it also makes you more focused on what is important to you.
On the other hand, when you don’t meditate regularly, it becomes harder for you to focus. Plus, your mind seems to be filled with random thoughts that are hard to keep under control.
Meditation also helps you stay in the present moment because it teaches you how to be aware of your thoughts.
As you can see, meditation can help you raise your vibration without you realizing it and it will make you feel more in tune with the universe.
14) You often engage in mindless activities
Before we begin, let me give you some examples of mindless activities:
- Watching TV and not really paying attention;
- Staring at your computer screen without doing any real work;
- Playing computer games that don’t stimulate your mind or heart in any way;
- Doing things automatically without being fully aware of what you’re doing;
If you spend most of your time doing these things, it’s easy to lower your vibration. But how?
The problem is that mindless activities lower your vibration because they prevent you from noticing what’s important. They also make you feel bored, so they make it harder for you to find peace in your life.
15) You have a hard time not being jealous
Jealousy is an emotion that lowers your vibration faster than you might think.
When you’re jealous of other people’s success, it means you are focusing on what they have and what you don’t.
Focusing on what you don’t have is definitely not recommended. It lowers your vibration, and it keeps you in a negative state of mind.
When you’re jealous, you are also comparing yourself to other people. And that’s never healthy because it’s always a lose-lose situation.
When you compare yourself to other people, it means you are focusing on what makes them better than you. And that’s actually toxic and not good for your self-esteem at all.
16) Too many toxic people are part of your life
I’m sure you’ve heard of toxic people before. But did you know there are many types of toxic people?
Here are some examples: manipulative people, negative people, shallow people, pushy people, people who drain your energy, and so on.
Toxic people tend to lower your vibration when you’re around them. They don’t do it knowingly, but their behavior does affect you.
When you are surrounded by negative and toxic people, it becomes harder for you to reach your potential because they are lowering your vibration without realizing it.
17) You didn’t make progress in all areas of life
One common way to lower your vibration is to not make any progress in your life.
When you don’t make progress, you are basically not letting the energy flow.
Releasing old energy and replacing it with new energy is essential for a person that wants to raise their vibration.
When you make progress in your personal life and career, it means you’re releasing old energy and replacing it with new energy.
And when you don’t make any progress, it’s a sign that you are holding on to old thoughts and feelings. And that’s not good!
18) You have a hard time being grateful for what you have
Being grateful for what you have is extremely important for your spiritual growth.
When you don’t practice gratitude, you are always focusing on what you don’t have.
That’s not good at all because it’s a sure way to lower your vibration.
Focusing on what you don’t have is never going to help you raise your vibration. It’s not the right mindset, and it will not help you attract more positive things into your life.
Instead, you must learn how to focus on what you do have in order to raise your vibration and live a fulfilling life.
19) You are always complaining about life’s hardships
The majority of people complain about things happening in their life, and they tend to do it on a regular basis.
But did you know that complaining lowers your vibration?
Complaining is a negative state of mind. And when you complain too much, it’s going to bring more negativity into your life.
So, if you always seem to be complaining about the hardships in your life, make sure to stop doing it soon.
Otherwise, it will only make you feel drained because you are focusing on what’s wrong with your life too much.
20) Your lifestyle can be characterized as sedentary
One common reason for lowering one’s vibration is to move less and sit more.
Sitting in front of your computer all day can certainly lower your vibration.
The same thing goes when you spend most of your time watching TV, playing video games, and doing other mindless things on a regular basis.
It’s easy to become lazy once you do these things, and it makes it harder for you to raise your vibration.
However, moving your body is just as important as making progress in your life. And you can do both by working out regularly and doing things that inspire you on a daily basis.
21) You don’t listen to your body
Your body is an extraordinary machine that can tell you when something isn’t right.
Your job? You have to listen to it!
In case you don’t, you’re not only going to lower your vibration, but you’ll also overlook possible serious health problems. Everyone has different physical needs, so it’s important to listen to your body deeply.
Possible signs your body can give you when something’s not right are:
- Pain throughout your body;
- Soreness in different areas of your body;
- Feeling tired all the time;
22) You procrastinate too much on a regular basis
Procrastination might not seem like a big deal, but it can prevent you from raising your vibration if you keep doing it on a regular basis.
When you procrastinate, your life will become scattered and unfocused. And that’s never going to make you happy.
Procrastination also lowers your vibration because it’s a form of avoidance.
If you avoid something that needs to be done, it means that you are avoiding uncomfortable emotions or thoughts about whatever it is.
The solution? You can get rid of these thoughts by facing them head-on instead of avoiding them.
23) You don’t give sleep the importance it deserves
Another common reason for lowering one’s vibration is not giving sleep the importance it deserves.
Not getting enough sleep on a regular basis will make you way more tired and worn out. As already said, if you don’t let the energy flow, it’s going to be much harder for you to live a happy life.
Insufficient sleep can lower your vibration because your body needs time to rest and rejuvenate in order to function properly.
Getting enough sleep every night is important for your spiritual and mental health as well. It can boost your productivity and make you more creative. It can also improve your ability to focus and make better decisions.
24) You don’t forgive people easily or at all
Holding on to grudges doesn’t do you any good. It can lower your vibration and make you feel drained.
Instead of harboring grudges, forgive the people who hurt you or did something to make you upset in the first place.
I know this is not something easy to achieve. But if you want to avoid doing things that lower your vibration without you realizing it, then you should at least give it a try!
