Good Vibes, Good Life: How Self-Love Is the Key to Unlocking Your Greatness

by Vex King

I realize that the good, the bad and the downright ugly events are all a part of who I’ve become.

Stop trying to impress people. Impress yourself. Stretch yourself.

Test yourself. Be the best version of you that you can be.

Be better than who I was yesterday.

It’s important to recognize that it’s not unjust to let go of those who show no concern for you.

your partner may have annoying habits, but this doesn’t mean you love them any less. You accept them as they are, and sometimes even learn from their flaws. You also want what’s best for them. Therefore, if a particular habit was affecting their health, you’d support them in making positive changes. This demonstrates your unconditional love for them. You don’t judge them harshly, but you do want them to be the best version of themselves – for their own sake.

a significant aspect of self-love is acceptance: being content with who you are, as you are. As a result, self-love is empowerment and liberation.

An understanding of self-love allows us to find balance between mindset and action. Without balance we’ll regularly stumble, fall and feel lost. When you love yourself, life will begin to love you back.

Self-love is the balance between accepting yourself as you are while knowing you deserve better, and then working towards it.

The balance between mindset and action will enable you to vibrate higher.

This is something I always strive to achieve

whatever you focus on will be returned to you. So, the Law of Attraction stresses the importance of thinking about what you want, rather than focusing on things you fear or dread.

‘We are what we are, because of the vibrations of thought which we pick up and register, through the stimuli of our daily environment.’

you want the things you want because they make you feel good.

emotion is one of the most powerful vibrations you can control and, fundamentally, positive emotions are what we’re in search of, we can infer that our quest in life is to experience good vibrations.

If you could continuously experience good vibes, you’d always view your life in a positive light.

The feelings we project are returned on a like-for-like basis through our experiences.

Based on the principle of the Law of Vibration, to receive good vibes we must project good vibes.

the feelings we put out into the Universe will be returned to us through matching vibrations.

When you make an effort to raise your vibration, you show yourself the love and care you deserve.

By loving yourself, you’ll live a life you love.

Higher states of vibration will help you to feel good, which means you can manifest more good things in your life.

Surround yourself with people who are vibin’ higher than you. Be around people who are feeling better than you are. Energy is contagious.

When you’re not feeling too good, try being around people who are.

Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt like something isn’t quite right about them? You can’t quite put your finger on it, but you just get a bad vibe and usually you find out later on that there was a good reason for this feeling. Energy doesn’t lie.

I’ve always tried to express this feeling to my dear ones, but they couldn’t quite relate. It was an unexplainable feeling—until this book broke it down through vibrations and energy. 😊

make a commitment to build meaningful and lasting relationships with positive people.

The Law of Vibration suggests that we attract people who are vibrating on the same frequency as us.

2003 study by Simone Schnall and James Laird showed that if you fake a smile, you can actually trick your brain into thinking you’re happy by releasing feel-good hormones called endorphins.6

Muhammad Ali famously said, ‘To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.’

Don’t underestimate the importance of taking time to relax.

unwind and keep some distance from the things that are stressing you out.

If you’re living with a spouse, friends or family, this might seem a little cruel. It’s not that you dislike them, or that you’re even fed up with them. It’s simply that you need a break: a chance to breathe and recharge. You just need to be alone for a while. That’s perfectly acceptable and doesn’t make you any less loving.

Sometimes you have to unplug yourself from the world for a moment, so you can reset yourself.

In Mexican Spanish, the word engentado describes this particular feeling. It refers to the feeling of wanting to be away from people after spending time with them.

The longer you stay peopled out without a recharge, the higher the chance that you’ll lower other people’s vibrations.

Avoid drama. Walk away in silence from anything that doesn’t improve your life. Calmness among chaos is a sign of emotional maturity.

What you consume consumes you; what consumes you controls your life.

as a general rule, good-quality organic produce, as intended by nature, will keep you feeling more vitalized than non-organic foods. The price of organic food can be high, but the expense may turn out to be less of a sacrifice than your health, if this deteriorates as a result of eating unhealthy foods.

Being thankful is one of the simplest, and yet most powerful, habits you can cultivate.

The more you count your blessings, the more blessings you’ll have to count.

Ignoring negative emotions is like keeping poison in your system. Learn to understand everything that you feel. The aim isn’t to force positive thoughts, but to transform the negative ones into something healthier, so you can feel better.

Repressed feelings can become toxic within your system and can eventually cause damage.

Every second you spend thinking about the next moment, you avoid embracing the present. Ensure your life isn’t lived entirely in your head.

Think about a time when you completely forgot to check the clock or look at your phone. Perhaps you were around the people you love, or doing something you enjoy. You were so engrossed in the moment that you had no time to worry about the past or the future. You were simply enjoying where you were. This is what’s known as being in the present moment.

We make life all about a future that exists only in our imagination and completely miss what’s happening in front of us.

Meditation helps you to arrive at conscious awareness of the present moment

It’s not selfish or a sign of weakness to distance yourself or walk away from those who constantly bring down your vibe. Life is about balance. It’s about spreading kindness, but it’s also about not letting anyone take that kindness away from you.

It’s much easier to see the good in life when you’re around positive people.

Ending a toxic relationship can be incredibly difficult; it’s hard to break free from those close to you, even if they’re hurting you. But once you remove those people from your life, you make way for a river of positivity to flow. You’ll have time and space for introspection, healing and growth, and like the plant, you too will become strong.

The most important relationship you have is the one with yourself, so there’s no excuse not to break free from your own toxic ways.

Always review your behaviours and make an effort to change any that are toxic – towards yourself or others. This isn’t only how you grow, it’s also an act of self-love. You’re showing yourself that you deserve better than the behaviours limiting your progress.
