“Meeting someone special during the festive season can be an exciting time and lifting your vibe to attract positive energy and connection is key,” Ms Jane says.

Here she outlines some ways to elevate your vibe and attract someone special during the holiday season.

Embrace the festive spirit

“The holiday season is filled with joy, lights and celebrations. Get involved in festive activities, such as attending holiday parties, community events or volunteering. Being present in joyful environments naturally increases your vibe and opens opportunities to meet like-minded people,” Ms Jane says.

Cultivate self-confidence

“Confidence is magnetic and the festive season is a great time to embrace your best self. Wear outfits that make you feel great, practise positive self-talk and focus on activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. When you feel good about yourself, you project an inviting and positive energy. Most importantly this higher energy reinforces that you are not going to tolerate any verbal, emotional or physical mistreatment,” she says.

Practise gratitude

“The holiday season is the perfect time to reflect on what you’re grateful for. Gratitude shifts your mindset and attracts positive experiences and people. By focusing on the good in your life, you naturally lift your energy, making you more attractive to those who resonate with a similar vibe.”

Be open to new experiences

“Stepping out of your comfort zone and being open to new opportunities can lead to exciting connections. Attend events or gatherings you might not usually consider or try a new hobby or class. Meeting new people in different environments increases your chances of finding someone special.”

Stay authentic

“The festive season is full of social opportunities and it’s important to stay true to yourself. Authenticity attracts the right kind of people who appreciate you for who you are. Be yourself and let your genuine personality shine through.”

Focus on positive intentions

“Set clear intentions about what kind of relationship you’re looking for. By focusing on positive intentions, you align your energy with what you truly want. Visualise yourself meeting someone who shares your values, and keep an optimistic mindset about love and connections.”

Take care of your well-being

“Self-care plays a big role in lifting your vibe. Prioritise rest, eat well and stay active to maintain your physical and emotional health. A balanced and happy mindset not only boosts your energy but also makes you more approachable and radiant,” Ms Jane says.

“Additionally, finding ‘me time’ allows you to reflect on what your needs and values are and what is important to you in relation to a partnership.”

Engage with others in a meaningful way

“Rather than just attending events to meet someone, focus on genuine interactions with people you encounter. Engage in conversations that allow you to connect on a deeper level. Showing interest in others and being present in the moment creates a positive, approachable energy.”

Surround yourself with positive people

“Spend time with friends and family who uplift you. Positive energy is contagious, and being around supportive people will naturally raise your vibe, making it easier to attract a healthy, fulfilling relationship.”

Let go of past baggage

“It is important not to keep stirring up old relationship wounds. Understand and learn the lessons from failed relationships and let go of heavy emotions such as judgement, grudges, blame, anger and the victim mentality which only serve to keep your vibe low.”

Let go of pressure

“The festive season can bring pressure to meet someone or be in a relationship but try to let go of those expectations. Relax, have fun and enjoy the moment. Often, love finds you when you’re simply enjoying life and not overly focused on finding that special someone.”

According to Ms Jane, by embracing the festive spirit, staying open and focusing on self-confidence and gratitude, you can naturally raise your vibe and attract someone special during this magical time of year.
