Be the Energy You Want to Attract
Positivity attracts positivity. If you want to meet people who uplift and inspire you, start by embodying those qualities yourself.
This doesn’t mean you have to be happy 24/7—life has its ups and downs—but cultivating a mindset of gratitude, kindness, and optimism will naturally draw like-minded people toward you.
Think about the last time you were excited about something—a new job, a workout goal, or a passion project. Did you notice how your enthusiasm made others excited too?
That’s the kind of energy that attracts positivity.
Action Step: Start your day by writing down three things you’re grateful for. It will shift your mindset and help you radiate a more positive vibe.
Engage in Activities That Align with Your Values
Positive people often gravitate toward environments that foster personal growth and happiness.
Whether it’s a local book club, a fitness class, a personal finance seminar, or a volunteering event, surrounding yourself with people who share your interests makes it easier to build meaningful, positive connections.
Have you ever signed up for a class, workshop, or event and ended up connecting with someone who shared your interests? Maybe you joined a book club and met someone who loves self-improvement as much as you do.
The more you put yourself in these environments, the more likely you’ll meet people who uplift you.
Action Step: Look for a local event, online community, or club that aligns with your passions and join in.
Distance Yourself from Toxic Energy
Negativity is contagious, and if you’re constantly surrounded by drama, pessimism, or people who drain your energy, it’s time to set boundaries. You don’t have to cut people off completely, but limiting exposure to negativity will create space for healthier relationships.
Think of that one friend or colleague who always brings up problems but never solutions. How do you feel after spending time with them? Now compare that to how you feel when you talk to someone who is solution-focused and encouraging. The difference is huge.
Action Step: Assess your social circle and spend more time with those who encourage your growth.
Practice Genuine Kindness and Support
One of the easiest ways to attract positive people is by being a source of positivity yourself. Celebrate other people’s successes, offer support when they need it, and be the kind of friend you’d want to have.
Kindness creates a ripple effect, and people naturally gravitate toward those who make them feel valued.
Think of a time when you complimented someone on their hard work or checked in on a friend just because. Chances are, they appreciated it—and that moment strengthened your relationship. The more you do this, the more positivity you’ll attract.
Action Step: Make a habit of giving genuine compliments or checking in on friends just to brighten their day.
Develop a Growth Mindset
People who focus on personal growth tend to attract others with the same mindset. If you’re always learning, improving, and pushing yourself forward, you’ll find that like-minded individuals naturally enter your life.
Have you ever taken up a new challenge—like starting a side hustle, learning a new skill, or improving your finances—and suddenly connected with others who were on the same journey? That’s because when you elevate yourself, you attract people on a similar level.
Action Step: Choose one area of your life to improve this month and commit to learning more about it—whether it’s personal finance, fitness, or mindset.
Be Open to New Connections
Sometimes, we get so caught up in our comfort zones that we miss opportunities to meet incredible people. Be open to striking up conversations, attending events alone, or even reconnecting with old friends who have a positive influence.
Have you ever struck up a conversation with a stranger and walked away feeling inspired? Maybe it was someone at a networking event, a classmate in an online course, or even a barista who shared a great book recommendation.
The more open you are to new connections, the more positive people you’ll meet.
Action Step: Challenge yourself to say “yes” to more social opportunities, even if they’re out of your comfort zone.
Surround Yourself with Inspiration
If you can’t find positive people in your immediate environment, start by surrounding yourself with inspiring content—books, podcasts, YouTube channels, or online communities that uplift you. Eventually, this mindset shift will help you attract similar energy in real life.
Think about how you feel after scrolling through negative news versus watching an inspiring TED Talk or listening to a motivational podcast.
What you consume affects your mindset—and your mindset affects who you attract.
Action Step: Follow social media accounts that spread positivity and limit exposure to toxic or drama-filled content.
