Conventionally when we think of \u201ccelebration\u201d, images of banquets, happy faces, and raised glasses typically flood our consciousness. We relegate the act of celebrating solely to joyful occasions, accomplishments, or milestones. However, this custom has become so ingrained within our society\u2019s mindset so much so that when changes happen or something unfortunate comes about, we will plug our ear, close our eyes, and loudly live by the proclamation of \u201cGood Vibes ONLY\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Road to Hell is Paved with \u201cGood Vibes Only\u201d Affirmations. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The phrase of \u201cGood Vibes ONLY\u201d permeates our current health and wellness scene. It is the essential cornerstone of their marketing ambitions. Everything from BPA water bottles, to yoga tank tops, display the manifesto of \u201cGood Vibes ONLY\u201d. Wellness and lifestyle blogs, as well as social media accounts, also widen the reach of this affirmation with the intent to empower individuals out of negative thinking and into a mindset of unwavering positivity. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, this confident proclamation is meant to be a message of encouragement however, it\u2019s sentiment is myopic in scope. The problem with \u201cGood Vibes Only\u201d is embedded in the phrase itself. Only \u201cGood Vibes\u201d are to be permitted, no other vibes allowed. If we allow anything less than \u201cGood Vibes\u201d, then wellness enthusiasts admonish us to take our \u201cnegative energy\u201d elsewhere. Only good vibes allowed. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, other \u201cvibes\u201d exist because the arrangement of our world and our circumstances is infinitely complex. Trite mantras like \u201cGood Vibes Only\u201d fail to embrace the multi-dimensional fabric that is our human experience. Though intended to engender a positive mindset, in essence, it creates a cultural norm that shuns challenging life experiences. \u201cGood Vibes Only\u201d is a mentality that denies the visceral realness of suffering. Adopting this \u201cempowering\u201d mindset leaves us with the inability to accept, acknowledge, and understand the value of being\u00a0uncomfortable renders in the form of life lessons. If only \u201cgood\u201d feelings are what our society values, other feelings become invalidated and the lack of our compassion for each other further grows. Sadly, this can only plunge us into self-imposed isolation and unworthiness. \u201cGood vibes Only\u2019\u2019 only destroys what it hopes to build. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Celebrate ALL VIBES<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGood vibes only\u201d is a negation of our wholeness and unique complexity. The alienation propagated by the \u201cGood Vibes Only\u201d cultural sentiment needs a replacement if our society is to ever be truly well. Health coach and longtime yoga teacher <\/span>Stacey Brass-Russell<\/span><\/a> advises that energy (\u201cvibes\u201d) is not good or bad in and of themselves, but what makes them so is the intention we put behind it. We are dynamic beings who are meant to experience the uncomfortable and unpleasant. Feelings of grief or frustration are the seeds that make transformation possible. If our instinct is to push away them away and to only have \u201cgood vibes\u201d, then we not only stagnate our own growth but prevent ourselves from holding space and empathizing with others. So, why not celebrate ALL VIBES? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No matter how well someone has image-crafted their social media accounts and posts, at some level, we are all suffering or experiencing a challenging ordeal. To celebrate ALL VIBES is to acknowledge all feelings, that to be struggling does not mean we are flawed. When we embrace all experiences, all unsettling changes, and all energetic moods as valid, we celebrate the process of our transformations and we participate in the sacred act of holding space to encourage growth. To celebrate ALL VIBES is understand that our goal is not perfection but evolution through the inevitable highs and lows. Encased within the inclusive manifesto of ALL VIBES is the revolutionarily celebration that compassionately declares no experience, no emotion, and no effort is ever wasted or ignored. <\/span><\/p>\n
