  • You can love yourself and still have room to improve and realise that you deserve more.
  • Vibrational frequencies are at the core of our universe and are found countlessly within science.
  • When you truly believe in something and act as if it is already true, you increase the chances of it coming into your physical reality.
  • If you're unsure what vibration you're on, look to the animals in your life and see their reaction, or ask a very honest family member or friend.
  • The proof is in the pudding... have a go and see the results! There is no harm in trying.

If we can collectively become

Speaker:

conscious citizens of this planet

Speaker:

we'll lessen the burden we place on

Speaker:

it.

Speaker:

By living to your full potential,

Speaker:

you'll not only change your world,

Speaker:

you'll change the world around

Speaker:

you, too. Some people are

Speaker:

comfortable with mediocrity.

Speaker:

Greatness is about becoming the

Speaker:

greatest version of yourself.

Speaker:

Hello, everyone.

Speaker:

Well, today I am absolutely

Speaker:

delighted to be starting my

Speaker:

next book club.

Speaker:

Now, I've got so many books

Speaker:

on the list that I want to do, so

Speaker:

many, but I've taken a little bit of

Speaker:

a vote on it and one that I

Speaker:

think is going to be really, really

Speaker:

helpful to everyone is Good

Speaker:

Vibes, Good Life by Vex King.

Speaker:

Now why have I chosen this

Speaker:

book? Lots and lots of reasons.

Speaker:

First and foremost, I know a lot

Speaker:

of people across all different age

Speaker:

groups have read this from teenagers

Speaker:

to

Speaker:

every single age group who reads

Speaker:

this seems to really enjoy it,

Speaker:

and it's so, so helpful.

Speaker:

It's got so many golden nuggets

Speaker:

in there. It's also really, really

Speaker:

easy to read.

Speaker:

I love Vex's writing

Speaker:

style.

Speaker:

It's very, very

Speaker:

easy, easy, broken down and

Speaker:

nice, little very short chapters,

Speaker:

which I really, really love.

Speaker:

And I think it's such a skill.

Speaker:

It's such a skill to take such

Speaker:

complicated subjects

Speaker:

and to make

Speaker:

it understandable to all sorts

Speaker:

of people of all different

Speaker:

levels of awareness.

Speaker:

For those of you that can afford it,

Speaker:

I would really, really recommend you

Speaker:

get this. You can get this on

Speaker:

Amazon, you can get it from all good

Speaker:

bookstores.

Speaker:

And it's really lovely to support

Speaker:

the author by buying the book.

Speaker:

And what I will be doing is reading

Speaker:

it through.

Speaker:

And then what I'm going to do is

Speaker:

just make my comments as I go

Speaker:

through.

Speaker:

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Speaker:

So let's get started.

Speaker:

I'm going to read the back cover and

Speaker:

you'll see why I've picked this one.

Speaker:

"Be the best version of you that you

Speaker:

can be.

Speaker:

How can you learn to truly love

Speaker:

yourself?

Speaker:

How can you transform negative

Speaker:

emotions into positive ones?

Speaker:

Is it possible to find lasting

Speaker:

happiness?

Speaker:

In this book, Instagram

Speaker:

guru, Vex King, answers all of these

Speaker:

questions and more.

Speaker:

Vex overcame adversity to become

Speaker:

a source of hope for thousands of

Speaker:

young people, and now draws

Speaker:

from his personal experiences

Speaker:

and his intuitive wisdom to inspire

Speaker:

you to practice self-care,

Speaker:

overcome toxic energy, and

Speaker:

prioritise your well-being.

Speaker:

To cultivate a positive lifestyle

Speaker:

habits including mindfulness

Speaker:

meditation.

Speaker:

Change your beliefs to invite great

Speaker:

opportunities into your life.

Speaker:

Manifest your goals using tried

Speaker:

and tested techniques.

Speaker:

Overcome fear and flow with the

Speaker:

universe.

Speaker:

Find your higher purpose and become

Speaker:

a shining light for others.

Speaker:

In this book, Vex will show you

Speaker:

that when you change the way you

Speaker:

think, feel, speak and

Speaker:

act, you change the world.

Speaker:

And Lewis Howes, New York Times

Speaker:

best selling author and host of the

Speaker:

School of Greatness podcast.

Speaker:

I Love Lewis Howes' podcast,

Speaker:

said "This is the perfect guide for

Speaker:

those who are seeking a way out of

Speaker:

the darkness and want to live a more

Speaker:

beautiful and meaningful life".

Speaker:

So, one of the main reasons I chose

Speaker:

this book is at the moment

Speaker:

so many people are probably on a

Speaker:

similar thinking to me in terms

Speaker:

of, "Goodness me, what's going on in

Speaker:

the world. We've had our eyes opened

Speaker:

to nothing is

Speaker:

as we seem.

Speaker:

Everything is topsy turvy,

Speaker:

everything is inverted".

Speaker:

And in this book you're going to

Speaker:

find some simple, easy

Speaker:

to put into place practical tips

Speaker:

with lots of examples.

Speaker:

So let's get started

Speaker:

and see what you think.

Speaker:

"Mum, I dedicate this book to you.

Speaker:

Our life has been tough.

Speaker:

But with your strength, faith and

Speaker:

perseverance, you've made

Speaker:

incredible things happen for us.

Speaker:

Regardless of everything that came

Speaker:

your way and all the times I've

Speaker:

let you down, you show me nothing

Speaker:

but unconditional love.

Speaker:

It was this love that led to the

Speaker:

sacrifices you made.

Speaker:

It was this love that kept me

Speaker:

smiling.

Speaker:

You forgave you hugged, you laughed,

Speaker:

you inspired, you encouraged,

Speaker:

you healed.

Speaker:

And you did everything else in your

Speaker:

power to demonstrate that

Speaker:

with love, anything was possible.

Speaker:

Which is why I'm here today,

Speaker:

passing on my love to others through

Speaker:

my words.

Speaker:

And dad.

Speaker:

Of course, my existence would not be

Speaker:

possible without you.

Speaker:

Although I never got to know you

Speaker:

properly.

Speaker:

I've always felt your energy guided

Speaker:

me when I needed it most.

Speaker:

I know how much I meant to you when

Speaker:

I was born.

Speaker:

I hope you're proud of me.

Speaker:

Finally, I would like to dedicate

Speaker:

this book to anyone with a dream.

Speaker:

Whether that's a dream just to

Speaker:

survive or to make it through

Speaker:

a dark day.

Speaker:

It was my dream to write this book

Speaker:

that will positively change lives

Speaker:

across the world.

Speaker:

If I can make it happen, so

Speaker:

can you.

Speaker:

I believe in you.

Speaker:

I hope you do too.".

Speaker:

That's pretty powerful just to begin

Speaker:

with as well.

Speaker:

Just my thoughts on that.

Speaker:

How often do we tell

Speaker:

people that we love them?

Speaker:

How often do we express

Speaker:

our gratitude for people and what

Speaker:

they've done to us and whether they

Speaker:

stuck through with us through thick

Speaker:

and thin? I think that's a really,

Speaker:

really important thing to recognise

Speaker:

straightaway.

Speaker:

"Introduction.

Speaker:

For three years In my childhood, I

Speaker:

had no fixed home.

Speaker:

My family and I lived with relatives

Speaker:

and for short periods during this

Speaker:

time in a housing shelter.

Speaker:

I was grateful that we had a roof

Speaker:

over our heads.

Speaker:

But I remember how frightening the

Speaker:

house in shelter experience was.

Speaker:

There were always unpleasant looking

Speaker:

characters lurking around the

Speaker:

entrance who would throw us piercing

Speaker:

stares when we entered the building.

Speaker:

Being a four year old child, I felt

Speaker:

scared, but my mother

Speaker:

reassured me that things would be

Speaker:

okay.

Speaker:

She said that we should just look

Speaker:

down and go straight to our room.

Speaker:

One night we popped out and when

Speaker:

we returned, there was blood all

Speaker:

over the staircase and on the walls

Speaker:

in the corridor.

Speaker:

Fragments of glass covered the

Speaker:

floor.

Speaker:

My sisters and I had never seen

Speaker:

anything so horrific before.

Speaker:

We looked up at our mum.

Speaker:

I sensed fear in her.

Speaker:

But again, with courage, she

Speaker:

told us to tread carefully over the

Speaker:

glass and get up to our room.

Speaker:

Still shaken by what we'd seen,

Speaker:

my sisters and I tried to work out

Speaker:

what may have happened downstairs in

Speaker:

the corridor in the shelter.

Speaker:

Then we heard screams and shouting,

Speaker:

followed by sounds of chaos.

Speaker:

It was terrifying.

Speaker:

Once more, we looked to Mum for

Speaker:

comfort.

Speaker:

She pulled us in close and told us

Speaker:

not to worry.

Speaker:

But I could hear her heart pounding.

Speaker:

She was just as scared.

Speaker:

We had very little sleep that night.

Speaker:

The screams went on and on.

Speaker:

I was surprised that no police came,

Speaker:

that no one else seemed to be trying

Speaker:

to calm the storm.

Speaker:

It was as though no one cared about

Speaker:

the safety of the people there.

Speaker:

It felt like no one cared about us.

Speaker:

All we have was each other in

Speaker:

a world that seemed cold and

Speaker:

corrupt.

Speaker:

When I discussed childhood memories

Speaker:

like this with one of my friends and

Speaker:

family, they're shocked by how

Speaker:

much I can remember.

Speaker:

I often find them asking,

Speaker:

"How do you even remember that?

Speaker:

You were so young."

Speaker:

I don't remember everything, nor

Speaker:

are my memories crystallised in

Speaker:

clear detail.

Speaker:

However, I do remember how I felt

Speaker:

during the majority of my

Speaker:

experiences, good and bad.

Speaker:

There was so much emotion attached

Speaker:

to the events that took place,

Speaker:

and these memories haunted me for a

Speaker:

very long time.

Speaker:

During my late teens, I wished

Speaker:

a lot of these memories would just

Speaker:

go away.

Speaker:

I wanted to erase them so that I was

Speaker:

no longer reminded of the struggles

Speaker:

I faced as a child.

Speaker:

I was even embarrassed by some of

Speaker:

them.

Speaker:

I felt uncomfortable with who I was.

Speaker:

There were times when I said and did

Speaker:

things that didn't match the child.

Speaker:

I was deep down.

Speaker:

I often felt hurt by the world

Speaker:

and wanted to hurt it back.

Speaker:

Things are different now.

Speaker:

I look back on my memories and

Speaker:

embrace everything that happened.

Speaker:

There's a lesson to be learned from

Speaker:

every event.

Speaker:

I realise that the good, the bad

Speaker:

and the downright ugly events

Speaker:

are all part of who I have become.

Speaker:

Although some of them may have been

Speaker:

painful, they're a blessing.

Speaker:

They've taught me so much.

Speaker:

My experiences have left me with a

Speaker:

drive to find a way out of misery

Speaker:

and a path towards a better life.

Speaker:

I've written this book to share the

Speaker:

lessons I've learned in the hope

Speaker:

that they'll provide you with some

Speaker:

clarity and guidance

Speaker:

to live what I call a greater life.

Speaker:

It's up to you what you take from my

Speaker:

stories.

Speaker:

I accept that some of the ideas will

Speaker:

resonate.

Speaker:

Others will feel uncomfortable.

Speaker:

Nevertheless, I do believe

Speaker:

that if you can apply the concepts I

Speaker:

discussed within the course of this

Speaker:

book, you'll experience

Speaker:

incredible positive changes if

Speaker:

your life.

Speaker:

I'm not a philosopher, a

Speaker:

psychologist, a scientist,

Speaker:

or a religious leader.

Speaker:

I'm simply someone who likes to

Speaker:

learn and share my wisdom with

Speaker:

others in the hope it may

Speaker:

release them from an undesirable

Speaker:

feelings and increase feelings

Speaker:

of joy".

Speaker:

Powerful already, isn't it?

Speaker:

"I believe that every person on this

Speaker:

planet is here to make a difference.

Speaker:

I'm devoted to helping you find your

Speaker:

purpose so you can add value

Speaker:

to a world which is in such

Speaker:

turmoil.

Speaker:

If we can collectively become

Speaker:

conscious citizens of this planet,

Speaker:

we will lessen the burden

Speaker:

we place on it.

Speaker:

By living to your full potential,

Speaker:

you'll not any change your world,

Speaker:

you'll change the world around you

Speaker:

too.

Speaker:

Some people are comfortable with

Speaker:

mediocrity.

Speaker:

They avoid living a greater life,

Speaker:

one that's beyond what most consider

Speaker:

the norm.

Speaker:

A greater life requires you to find

Speaker:

your greatness.

Speaker:

In simple terms, greatness

Speaker:

is about becoming the greatest

Speaker:

version of yourself.

Speaker:

It's about breaking the imaginary

Speaker:

boundaries that hold you captive in

Speaker:

a life you believe

Speaker:

you have to settle for,

Speaker:

and touching the realms of the

Speaker:

unthinkable.

Speaker:

The greatness mentality means

Speaker:

living a life without limits

Speaker:

where there are infinite

Speaker:

possibilities.

Speaker:

For this reason, we cannot define

Speaker:

where greatness begins or ends.

Speaker:

We can only strive to become

Speaker:

better.

Speaker:

Stop trying to impress people.

Speaker:

Impress yourself.

Speaker:

Stretch yourself.

Speaker:

Test yourself.

Speaker:

Be the best version of you that

Speaker:

you can be.

Speaker:

This book requires you to commit to

Speaker:

a better you, right now.

Speaker:

My aim is to help you become better

Speaker:

than the person you were yesterday.

Speaker:

Every day in each and every

Speaker:

way for the rest of your life.

Speaker:

If you wake up with a desire in your

Speaker:

mind, then consciously follow up

Speaker:

on it. You'll be surprised by how

Speaker:

much inspiration you find.

Speaker:

Your life will begin to reflect your

Speaker:

commitment to progress.

Speaker:

Greatness isn't a one dimensional

Speaker:

term.

Speaker:

Although it's subjective, most would

Speaker:

associate the word with having a

Speaker:

special talent, lots of

Speaker:

money or material possessions,

Speaker:

authority or status

Speaker:

and big achievements under their

Speaker:

belt.

Speaker:

But true greatness goes deeper

Speaker:

than that.

Speaker:

It cannot exist without purpose,

Speaker:

love, selflessness,

Speaker:

humility, appreciation,

Speaker:

kindness, and,

Speaker:

of course, our highest priory as

Speaker:

human beings, happiness.

Speaker:

When I think of greatness, I think

Speaker:

of reaching a level of mastery

Speaker:

across all avenues of life

Speaker:

and making a positive impact on the

Speaker:

world.

Speaker:

Great people aren't just the high

Speaker:

rollers in life, but those

Speaker:

who we value as amazing

Speaker:

inhabitants of this world.

Speaker:

You deserve a greater life.

Speaker:

And this book will help you create

Speaker:

it.

"Daily goal:

be better than who I

"Daily goal:

was yesterday.

"Daily goal:

Post your pictures or favourite

"Daily goal:

images, pages, quotes and

"Daily goal:

experiences related to this book

"Daily goal:

on social media using hashtag Vex

"Daily goal:

King book so I can like

"Daily goal:

them and feature them on my page."

"Daily goal:

So that's just the introduction.

"Daily goal:

Wow. There's so much in there.

"Daily goal:

I love this.

"Daily goal:

I love the talk about community

"Daily goal:

and love the talk about recognising

"Daily goal:

that everything in life is a lesson,

"Daily goal:

however painful it may seem

"Daily goal:

at that time.

"Daily goal:

And my goodness, how many lessons

"Daily goal:

have we been through over the last

"Daily goal:

few years and how many are we going

"Daily goal:

through right now, both

"Daily goal:

in terms of relationships with your

"Daily goal:

self, about your sovereignty,

"Daily goal:

about family members, about

"Daily goal:

what you feel about the controllers

"Daily goal:

of society, every aspect

"Daily goal:

of your life, food chain, water.

"Daily goal:

It's amazing to see how many

"Daily goal:

areas... And I've had so many

"Daily goal:

conversations with people

"Daily goal:

just this week

"Daily goal:

in terms of it's a fine

"Daily goal:

line, isn't it, about where do we

"Daily goal:

concentrate all our efforts on

"Daily goal:

ourselves and where do we

"Daily goal:

concentrate on being good citizens?

"Daily goal:

Because we know that some of

"Daily goal:

history's atrocities have come

"Daily goal:

because no one has spoken up against

"Daily goal:

them or not enough people.

"Daily goal:

You know, if we turn a

"Daily goal:

blind eye to atrocities that are

"Daily goal:

happening, then are we

"Daily goal:

just as complicit in that as

"Daily goal:

the perpetrators.

"Daily goal:

So lots in it already.

"Daily goal:

Let's get on to the first chapter.

"Daily goal:

"What is self-love?

"Daily goal:

To achieve a sense of peace, we

"Daily goal:

need balance.

"Daily goal:

Balance between work and play,

"Daily goal:

between action and patience,

"Daily goal:

spending and saving,

"Daily goal:

laughter and seriousness, leaving

"Daily goal:

and staying.

"Daily goal:

Failing to achieve a balance across

"Daily goal:

every area of your life can leave

"Daily goal:

you feeling exhausted,

"Daily goal:

among many other unpleasant

"Daily goal:

emotions, such as guilt.

"Daily goal:

Here's an example of balancing

"Daily goal:

action and patience.

"Daily goal:

If you're the project leader of a

"Daily goal:

final year university assignment

"Daily goal:

and you catch a team member, who you

"Daily goal:

like, on social media

"Daily goal:

instead of helping your team,

"Daily goal:

you may allow it to slide.

"Daily goal:

If they do it on multiple occasions

"Daily goal:

and you notice their productivity

"Daily goal:

slipping, you may warn them

"Daily goal:

that if it persists, you'll have to

"Daily goal:

report them to the course leader.

"Daily goal:

If they then choose to ignore you

"Daily goal:

and continue their behaviour,

"Daily goal:

would you feel guilty about taking

"Daily goal:

further action?

"Daily goal:

If you are a kind and compassionate

"Daily goal:

human being, you may fear hurting

"Daily goal:

their feelings and getting them in

"Daily goal:

trouble.

"Daily goal:

By reporting them to the course

"Daily goal:

leader, they may have to face severe

"Daily goal:

consequences that affect their final

"Daily goal:

grade and that might have

"Daily goal:

implications on their future.

"Daily goal:

However, they're disrespecting you

"Daily goal:

in ignoring your warnings,

"Daily goal:

you may feel like they are taking

"Daily goal:

your kindness for granted,

"Daily goal:

and you might worry that other

"Daily goal:

project members will be disheartened

"Daily goal:

if they see you lenience as

"Daily goal:

favouritism.

"Daily goal:

In this instance, if you're kind

"Daily goal:

and honest and follow a fair

"Daily goal:

process, you needn't feel

"Daily goal:

guilty for taking further action.

"Daily goal:

It's important to recognise that

"Daily goal:

it's not unjust to let go of those

"Daily goal:

who show no concern for you.

"Daily goal:

As project leader, you can remember

"Daily goal:

that you tried your best and

"Daily goal:

unfortunately your friend chose not

"Daily goal:

to respond.

"Daily goal:

If you don't take action, you risk

"Daily goal:

losing your inner peace, the respect

"Daily goal:

of your team, and harming your own

"Daily goal:

grade.

"Daily goal:

By taking a balanced approach, you

"Daily goal:

can feel more at ease and avoid any

"Daily goal:

bad feelings, such as guilt.

"Daily goal:

You demonstrate both action and

"Daily goal:

patience.

"Daily goal:

You can show that your understanding

"Daily goal:

and forgiving.

"Daily goal:

Self-love is the balance between

"Daily goal:

accepting yourself as you are whilst

"Daily goal:

knowing you deserve better and then

"Daily goal:

working towards it".

"Daily goal:

So that's an interesting scenario,

"Daily goal:

isn't it? I'm sure we've all got

"Daily goal:

scenarios in

"Daily goal:

our everyday life where we've got

"Daily goal:

these things going on all the time,

"Daily goal:

and a lot of us,

"Daily goal:

myself included, have spoken a lot

"Daily goal:

about boundaries and having healthy

"Daily goal:

boundaries. But often those

"Daily goal:

boundaries are a bit of trial and

"Daily goal:

error to put in place

"Daily goal:

and everyone's going to set those

"Daily goal:

boundaries at different places

"Daily goal:

depending on what resonates for them

"Daily goal:

as an individual.

"Daily goal:

But these sort of questions are

"Daily goal:

really important to

"Daily goal:

a to also because there's always

"Daily goal:

consequences of any action.

"Daily goal:

But when you're giving it a

"Daily goal:

considered, non-emotional,

"Daily goal:

you know, thought process like Vex

"Daily goal:

has just described there, I think

"Daily goal:

that's the best we can do.

"Daily goal:

And once you've made that decision,

"Daily goal:

accept the consequences and accept

"Daily goal:

you've done it from the right place.

"Daily goal:

You can show that you're

"Daily goal:

understanding and forgiving and

"Daily goal:

also firm and authoritative.

"Daily goal:

The chances are that even if this

"Daily goal:

student is upset by your decision,

"Daily goal:

they will still respect you for

"Daily goal:

giving them a chance.

"Daily goal:

So what does this have to do with

"Daily goal:

self-love?

"Daily goal:

Well, the phrase self-love is often

"Daily goal:

misunderstood.

"Daily goal:

Self-love encourages acceptance.

"Daily goal:

But many people use this as an

"Daily goal:

excuse to remain unchallenged.

"Daily goal:

In fact, self-love consists

"Daily goal:

of two essential elements

"Daily goal:

that must be balanced if one wishes

"Daily goal:

to live a harmonious life.

"Daily goal:

The first element encourages

"Daily goal:

unconditional love towards your

"Daily goal:

self.

"Daily goal:

The focus is on mindset.

"Daily goal:

The truth is you won't love yourself

"Daily goal:

more if, for example, you

"Daily goal:

lose or gain weight or undergo

"Daily goal:

cosmetic surgery.

"Daily goal:

You may feel more confident, sure,

"Daily goal:

but true self-love is when you

"Daily goal:

appreciate where you are and

"Daily goal:

who you are regardless of any

"Daily goal:

transformation you aspire to.

"Daily goal:

The second element encourages growth

"Daily goal:

and the focus is on taking action.

"Daily goal:

Improving yourself and your life

"Daily goal:

is also self-love

"Daily goal:

because it means you recognise that

"Daily goal:

you deserve more than settling

"Daily goal:

for mediocricy.

"Daily goal:

When it comes to self-love, think

"Daily goal:

about what it means to love others

"Daily goal:

unconditionally.

"Daily goal:

For example, your partner may have

"Daily goal:

annoying habits, but this doesn't

"Daily goal:

mean you love them any less.

"Daily goal:

You accept them as they are and

"Daily goal:

sometimes even learn from their

"Daily goal:

flaws.

"Daily goal:

You also want what's best for them.

"Daily goal:

Therefore, the particular habit was

"Daily goal:

affecting their health, you support

"Daily goal:

them in making positive changes.

"Daily goal:

This demonstrates your unconditional

"Daily goal:

love for them.

"Daily goal:

You don't judge them harshly, but

"Daily goal:

you do want them to be the best

"Daily goal:

version of themselves for their own

"Daily goal:

sake.

"Daily goal:

Self-love is about applying this to

"Daily goal:

yourself, having your own

"Daily goal:

best interests at heart.

"Daily goal:

True self-love can be present in

"Daily goal:

anything that adds value to your

"Daily goal:

life.

"Daily goal:

From your diet, your spiritual

"Daily goal:

rituals, or the way you interact

"Daily goal:

with your personal relationships.

"Daily goal:

And of course, a significant

"Daily goal:

aspect of self-love is acceptance,

"Daily goal:

being content with who you are,

"Daily goal:

as you are.

"Daily goal:

As a result, self-love is

"Daily goal:

empowerment in liberation.

"Daily goal:

An understanding of self-love allows

"Daily goal:

us to find balance between mindset

"Daily goal:

and action.

"Daily goal:

Without balance, we'll regularly

"Daily goal:

stumble full and feel lost.

"Daily goal:

When you love yourself, life

"Daily goal:

will begin to love you back.

"Daily goal:

The balance between mindset and

"Daily goal:

action will enable you to vibrate

"Daily goal:

higher.

"Daily goal:

We'll explore this further in the

"Daily goal:

next few chapters".

"Daily goal:

So, I mean, self-love has always

"Daily goal:

been quite a triggering thing

"Daily goal:

for me.

"Daily goal:

I don't know why it's been so

"Daily goal:

triggering, I think.

"Daily goal:

I think self-love means something

"Daily goal:

different to absolutely everyone you

"Daily goal:

speak to. And I'd really love to

"Daily goal:

hear in your comments below.

"Daily goal:

What does self-love mean to you

"Daily goal:

and what sort of practices

"Daily goal:

do you incorporate into your daily

"Daily goal:

life to ensure that you do have

"Daily goal:

self-love and that that's something

"Daily goal:

if you need to, you're still working

"Daily goal:

on.

"Daily goal:

There's so many things we can do in

"Daily goal:

this area, and I'd really, really

"Daily goal:

love to hear what's working for

"Daily goal:

each of you, because when

"Daily goal:

we see what's working for other

"Daily goal:

people, it might really, really

"Daily goal:

help someone in the chat.

"Daily goal:

So please don't be shy in sharing.

"Daily goal:

So, "Part one, A Matter

"Daily goal:

of Vibes.

"Daily goal:

Introduction.

"Daily goal:

My time at university was a

"Daily goal:

financial struggle, although

"Daily goal:

I'd been given a student loan.

"Daily goal:

Most of it went to my accommodation.

"Daily goal:

I had very little to live on.

"Daily goal:

I couldn't buy any course books

"Daily goal:

because I couldn't afford them.

"Daily goal:

I wouldn't ask my mum for money

"Daily goal:

because I knew she was struggling

"Daily goal:

herself.

"Daily goal:

I knew that if I did ask her, she'd

"Daily goal:

somehow find the money for me, as

"Daily goal:

she's always done her whole life,

"Daily goal:

even if it meant that she couldn't

"Daily goal:

eat.

"Daily goal:

For the most part, I budgeted well,

"Daily goal:

I could go out and party with my

"Daily goal:

friends regularly.

"Daily goal:

I never went hungry and I

"Daily goal:

didn't have to keep wearing the same

"Daily goal:

clothes. I made up the money

"Daily goal:

from online endeavours, like

"Daily goal:

building customised page layouts

"Daily goal:

on MySpace.

"Daily goal:

During one summer term, I returned

"Daily goal:

home for a break.

"Daily goal:

I had no money left and everything

"Daily goal:

felt hard.

"Daily goal:

I didn't want to go back to

"Daily goal:

university because I didn't enjoy

"Daily goal:

the work and I had no motivation

"Daily goal:

to complete my summer assignments.

"Daily goal:

Having spent much of the year

"Daily goal:

studying, I was forced to find

"Daily goal:

a summer job so I'd be able to stay

"Daily goal:

afloat when I got back to

"Daily goal:

university.

"Daily goal:

All of my friends were planning a

"Daily goal:

much needed holiday together and I

"Daily goal:

couldn't afford to go.

"Daily goal:

And I was having problems with a

"Daily goal:

girl.

"Daily goal:

The drama I was experiencing in my

"Daily goal:

romantic and platonic relationships

"Daily goal:

constantly angered me, and

"Daily goal:

I didn't feel good about life.

"Daily goal:

One evening I came across a book

"Daily goal:

called The Secret.

"Daily goal:

People were saying it was changing

"Daily goal:

their lives and that everyone could

"Daily goal:

benefit from it.

"Daily goal:

It was founded on a simple

"Daily goal:

principle, The Law of Attraction".

"Daily goal:

Let me know below.

"Daily goal:

How many of you have read The Secret

"Daily goal:

or seen the film, and what

"Daily goal:

are your thoughts on it?

"Daily goal:

What are your thoughts on it now?

"Daily goal:

And can you remember what your

"Daily goal:

thoughts were on it when you first

"Daily goal:

read it or watched the film?

"Daily goal:

"The premise of the Law

"Daily goal:

of Attraction is that what you think

"Daily goal:

about, you bring about.

"Daily goal:

In other words, we can attract the

"Daily goal:

things we want into our lives by

"Daily goal:

committing our thoughts to them.

"Daily goal:

This applies to the things you don't

"Daily goal:

want as well as the things you do

"Daily goal:

want.

"Daily goal:

Quite simply, whatever you focus

"Daily goal:

on will be returned to you.

"Daily goal:

So the Law of Attraction stresses

"Daily goal:

the importance of thinking about

"Daily goal:

what you want.

"Daily goal:

Rather than focusing

"Daily goal:

on things you fear or dread.

"Daily goal:

The Law of Attraction places great

"Daily goal:

emphasis on positive thinking.

"Daily goal:

To me, it sounded too good to be

"Daily goal:

true. So I began to do more

"Daily goal:

research, and I read about people

"Daily goal:

who were claiming that the law of

"Daily goal:

Attraction is bringing them

"Daily goal:

astonishing changes.

"Daily goal:

Could I apply this to my life too?

"Daily goal:

I knew exactly what I wanted:

"Daily goal:

to go on holiday with my friends.

"Daily goal:

I needed roughly £500 for

"Daily goal:

this to happen, so I

"Daily goal:

followed the general guidelines and

"Daily goal:

tried to be as positive as I could.

"Daily goal:

A week or so later, I received

"Daily goal:

a letter from the Tax Office saying

"Daily goal:

that I may have paid too much tax.

"Daily goal:

Was this a sign that the Law of

"Daily goal:

Attraction was working?

"Daily goal:

I filled out the forms to provide

"Daily goal:

them with further details and posted

"Daily goal:

it back to them as soon as I could.

"Daily goal:

A week went by and I heard nothing.

"Daily goal:

My friends were getting ready to

"Daily goal:

book their holiday and I felt

"Daily goal:

miserable that I wouldn't be able to

"Daily goal:

join them.

"Daily goal:

The potential of tax rebate

"Daily goal:

lingered in the back of my mind.

"Daily goal:

With growing frustration I rang

"Daily goal:

the tax office and asked them if

"Daily goal:

they'd received my letter.

"Daily goal:

They confirmed they had, and that

"Daily goal:

I'd hear back soon.

"Daily goal:

At this point I felt excited,

"Daily goal:

but I was running out of time.

"Daily goal:

The summer term was ending and my

"Daily goal:

friends would be going away soon.

"Daily goal:

Another week went by and I still

"Daily goal:

hadn't received anything.

"Daily goal:

I was starting to give up on the

"Daily goal:

idea and told my friends to book

"Daily goal:

the holiday without me.

"Daily goal:

I decided to focus elsewhere

"Daily goal:

and lift my mood by reading

"Daily goal:

motivational material.

"Daily goal:

At the least, this would make me

"Daily goal:

feel a little bit better about life.

"Daily goal:

A few more days passed, then an

"Daily goal:

envelope from the tax office

"Daily goal:

arrived.

"Daily goal:

I opened it nervously.

"Daily goal:

Inside was a cheque for £800.

"Daily goal:

I was shocked, overwhelmed and

"Daily goal:

overjoyed.

"Daily goal:

I got myself to the bank as fast as

"Daily goal:

I could to deposit the cheque.

"Daily goal:

Cheques usually take up to five days

"Daily goal:

to clear, but this one was in my

"Daily goal:

account within three days.

"Daily goal:

The following Monday, my friends and

"Daily goal:

I booked a last minute holiday

"Daily goal:

and flew out four days later.

"Daily goal:

I had a wonderful time,

"Daily goal:

but more importantly, I became

"Daily goal:

a believer in the law of attraction.

"Daily goal:

I decided that I was going to use

"Daily goal:

this to change my entire

"Daily goal:

life".

"Daily goal:

So, I

"Daily goal:

want to know what your thoughts

"Daily goal:

are on the Law of Attraction.

"Daily goal:

What are your experiences?

"Daily goal:

I spoke about this in one of my

"Daily goal:

recent interviews or can't remember

"Daily goal:

at the moment who was with.

"Daily goal:

But I read the Law of Attraction

"Daily goal:

years ago. I think a friend gave it

"Daily goal:

to me for my birthday back in

"Daily goal:

2011.

"Daily goal:

The reason I remember that is it's

"Daily goal:

written in the front and my daughter

"Daily goal:

is just reading it now.

"Daily goal:

And from that moment on, things

"Daily goal:

started shifting to me.

"Daily goal:

Now, being careful how

"Daily goal:

I say this. There's a lot of things

"Daily goal:

coming out about various people

"Daily goal:

and who's involved in what an

"Daily goal:

agenda is behind things.

"Daily goal:

But just like if it's your favourite

"Daily goal:

band where you've got favourite

"Daily goal:

music that uplifts you, brings back

"Daily goal:

happy memories, makes you lift

"Daily goal:

your vibration, a good book,

"Daily goal:

a motivational speaker,

"Daily goal:

you know, we all go through so many

"Daily goal:

stages in life and what I would say

"Daily goal:

is take the good and just leave

"Daily goal:

what doesn't serve for you.

"Daily goal:

So if those of you that haven't read

"Daily goal:

The Secret and tried some of these

"Daily goal:

simple tips...

"Daily goal:

Honestly, I know so many

"Daily goal:

people that have made major

"Daily goal:

shifts in areas of their life

"Daily goal:

just by reading The Secret and

"Daily goal:

putting some of their teachings into

"Daily goal:

place.

"Daily goal:

So let me know what you think.

"Daily goal:

Let me know. As I said, if your

"Daily goal:

thoughts over this is as evolved

"Daily goal:

after you've looked into this more

"Daily goal:

deeply, what do you think about

"Daily goal:

the other universal laws and how

"Daily goal:

they think into The Law of

"Daily goal:

Attraction?

So, page seven:

"There's something

So, page seven:

missing from the Law of Attraction.

So, page seven:

For the law of attraction to work,

So, page seven:

you have to think positively.

So, page seven:

However, it's difficult to stay

So, page seven:

positive all the time.

So, page seven:

When things go wrong in life

So, page seven:

or they don't quite turn out as we

So, page seven:

expect.

So, page seven:

It's hard to remain optimistic.

So, page seven:

Most people saw me as being a

So, page seven:

positive individual, but

So, page seven:

when things got hard, I was far

So, page seven:

from it.

So, page seven:

Anger had always got the better of

So, page seven:

me.

So, page seven:

Sometimes external events

So, page seven:

would create so much rage within me

So, page seven:

that I'd want to wreck everything

So, page seven:

in sight.

So, page seven:

As a result, I enter a downward

So, page seven:

spiral.

So, page seven:

I fluctuated constantly from

So, page seven:

highs to extreme lows.

So, page seven:

I was like two different people.

So, page seven:

These inconsistencies were projected

So, page seven:

onto my life.

So, page seven:

I go through some really good

So, page seven:

periods and then experience some

So, page seven:

really bad ones.

So, page seven:

During the bad times, it was

So, page seven:

impossible to see the bright side of

So, page seven:

things.

So, page seven:

I tended to give in and take out

So, page seven:

my frustrations on the world by

So, page seven:

smashing up furniture,

So, page seven:

speaking rudely to others

So, page seven:

and moaning about how terrible it

So, page seven:

was to live in the world.

So, page seven:

"During my last year of university,

So, page seven:

I experienced a massive setback in a

So, page seven:

group project that counted for a

So, page seven:

significant percentage of my final

So, page seven:

grade.

So, page seven:

When my group became divided

So, page seven:

over how much of a contribution

So, page seven:

people were making.

So, page seven:

I tried to be optimistic about it

So, page seven:

and expected it to work out in the

So, page seven:

end, but it didn't.

So, page seven:

It got really messy.

So, page seven:

Is suddenly seemed clear, that the

So, page seven:

Law of Attraction didn't always

So, page seven:

work.

So, page seven:

My group was completely divided,

So, page seven:

arguing constantly over our

So, page seven:

individual roles and how much

So, page seven:

effort each member was putting in.

So, page seven:

Just months before graduation.

So, page seven:

Things got out of control and harsh

So, page seven:

words were exchanged.

So, page seven:

Unfortunately, there was no way to

So, page seven:

fix the issue.

So, page seven:

My friend Darren and I felt that we

So, page seven:

were treated very unfairly,

So, page seven:

but there wasn't much we could do

So, page seven:

about it other than work ten

So, page seven:

times harder with looming deadlines

So, page seven:

that seemed impossible to meet,

So, page seven:

especially on top of the rest of our

So, page seven:

workload.

So, page seven:

We were convinced would fail of

So, page seven:

assignments and exams

So, page seven:

and therefore be unable to graduate.

So, page seven:

It felt like we've wasted our entire

So, page seven:

time at university.

So, page seven:

I had gone to university because I

So, page seven:

felt like I had to.

So, page seven:

It was what you were supposed to do

So, page seven:

if you wanted a good job and a

So, page seven:

comfortable life, which I hadn't

So, page seven:

experienced during my childhood.

So, page seven:

But deep down, I didn't really want

So, page seven:

to be there.

So, page seven:

I didn't enjoy it.

So, page seven:

I always knew I wouldn't end up in a

So, page seven:

traditional job.

So, page seven:

I was doing this for my mum more

So, page seven:

than anything.

So, page seven:

I watched her struggle my whole life

So, page seven:

and wants to show her that it hasn't

So, page seven:

been in vain.

So, page seven:

Now that I was so close to the

So, page seven:

finish line, it was all going to be

So, page seven:

taken away from me.

So, page seven:

All I could think about was letting

So, page seven:

my mum down, letting myself

So, page seven:

down and all the money wasted

So, page seven:

on a degree that i was going to fail.

So, page seven:

It was for nothing.

So, page seven:

I was overcome by negative thoughts.

So, page seven:

I told my mom I was going to leave

So, page seven:

university as I had no reason

So, page seven:

to be there.

So, page seven:

I hated it and it was unfair what

So, page seven:

I was going through.

So, page seven:

My rage needed a scapegoat,

So, page seven:

so I blamed her for everything.

So, page seven:

Lovingly. She tried to convince me

So, page seven:

to stay and do the best I could,

So, page seven:

but in anger, I only argued with

So, page seven:

her even more".

So, page seven:

I really feel for this situation.

So, page seven:

"I was fed up with the endless

So, page seven:

problems and I wanted to leave

So, page seven:

everything behind.

So, page seven:

I had no reason to live and no

So, page seven:

purpose in life.

So, page seven:

My low state even led me to revisit

So, page seven:

some of my worst memories, which

So, page seven:

just added more fuel to the fire,

So, page seven:

convincing me that my life was

So, page seven:

worthless.

So, page seven:

What was the point in having dreams

So, page seven:

if I could never manifest them?

So, page seven:

I convinced myself I was living

So, page seven:

a lie and kidding myself that I

So, page seven:

could do big things.

So, page seven:

It seemed clear right then, great

So, page seven:

things were never meant for me.

So, page seven:

So I trawled through employment

So, page seven:

websites and applied for a variety

So, page seven:

of jobs that look fairly interesting

So, page seven:

and paid well even though I

So, page seven:

wasn't qualified for them.

So, page seven:

I thought that if I could land one,

So, page seven:

it wouldn't seem like a complete

So, page seven:

failure, and I would at least have

So, page seven:

some money to help my family with

So, page seven:

their debts, bills and expenses,

So, page seven:

including my sister's weddings.

So, page seven:

In my covering letters, I explained

So, page seven:

that although I was underqualified,

So, page seven:

I'd be the perfect employee.

So, page seven:

No one responded.

So, page seven:

Underneath it all.

So, page seven:

I knew I couldn't quit university

So, page seven:

when I'd already come so far.

So, page seven:

I'd expended so much energy trying

So, page seven:

to find a way out of the problem.

So, page seven:

But now it was time to face what had

So, page seven:

to be done and hope for the best.

So, page seven:

But first, I had my elder sister's

So, page seven:

wedding to attend.

So, page seven:

This added more pressure.

So, page seven:

It meant that I'd have to hand in an

So, page seven:

assignment earlier than everyone

So, page seven:

else and take time off university

So, page seven:

just two months before my final

So, page seven:

deadlines, which would set me back

So, page seven:

even more.

So, page seven:

Stubbornly.

So, page seven:

I told my family that I couldn't go

So, page seven:

to the wedding even though I knew

So, page seven:

I would forever regret missing such

So, page seven:

an important event.

So, page seven:

In the end, I did go, albeit

So, page seven:

reluctantly.

So, page seven:

And as soon as I got there,

So, page seven:

something unexpected happened.

So, page seven:

I felt calm and relaxed.

So, page seven:

The wedding was in Goa, India,

So, page seven:

and it was beautiful.

So, page seven:

Everyone there was shining bright

So, page seven:

with happiness and love for my

So, page seven:

sister and her new husband.

So, page seven:

Honestly, at this point, I wasn't

So, page seven:

trying to feel positive.

So, page seven:

I was comfortable feeling down and

So, page seven:

feeling sorry for myself.

So, page seven:

And I wanted others to feel sorry

So, page seven:

for me, too.

So, page seven:

But this new environment created a

So, page seven:

welcome shift in me.

So, page seven:

For the first time in ages, I

So, page seven:

felt grateful.

So, page seven:

I'll always remember my sister's

So, page seven:

wedding, and it taught me a lot

So, page seven:

about how the universe operates.

So, page seven:

On my return home, the positive

So, page seven:

feelings stayed with me.

So, page seven:

I felt good and very calm

So, page seven:

about the chaos outside of me.

So, page seven:

My renewed steadiness motivated

So, page seven:

me to finish what needed to be done.

So, page seven:

I created a dummy scorecard

So, page seven:

that displayed the overall mark I

So, page seven:

would receive from my degree.

So, page seven:

I'd stare at this for a few minutes

So, page seven:

each day was pretending that the

So, page seven:

impressive grade on the school card

So, page seven:

was real.

So, page seven:

I didn't quite believe that I'd

So, page seven:

achieve it.

So, page seven:

It was merely a desire.

So, page seven:

But I did believe that I would do

So, page seven:

well, nonetheless.

So, page seven:

"I made up my mind to go to the

So, page seven:

library every single day

So, page seven:

for hours on end.

So, page seven:

I put in a huge amount of extra work

So, page seven:

needed to complete the group

So, page seven:

assignment and more.

So, page seven:

During my breaks, I took time to

So, page seven:

chat with positive people who were

So, page seven:

able to make me feel good about

So, page seven:

myself.

So, page seven:

One of them was a woman I'd

So, page seven:

eventually fall in love with

So, page seven:

for life.

So, page seven:

When it came to exam time, handing

So, page seven:

in assignments and doing the final

So, page seven:

year presentation, I

So, page seven:

was confident that I'd done enough.

So, page seven:

As it turned out, I didn't quite get

So, page seven:

the marks that were on my dummy

So, page seven:

scorecard, but I did pass

So, page seven:

comfortably and I

So, page seven:

aced one of the hardest exams of

So, page seven:

my course, which came as a surprise.

So, page seven:

I went on to have similar success

So, page seven:

by using the Law of Attraction,

So, page seven:

but overall the results were hit and

So, page seven:

miss.

So, page seven:

I knew I was missing something

So, page seven:

when I found out what this was, I

So, page seven:

began to have more consistent

So, page seven:

success.

So, page seven:

I was able to test this on others to

So, page seven:

see if they'd also benefit from my

So, page seven:

discovery.

So, page seven:

And they did.

So, page seven:

In fact, many of them were able to

So, page seven:

do things that are once impossible.

So, page seven:

Not everything I've wanted has

So, page seven:

manifested.

So, page seven:

This has usually been a blessing in

So, page seven:

disguise.

So, page seven:

Too many times I believed that

So, page seven:

I wanted and needed something that

So, page seven:

was for all the wrong reasons.

So, page seven:

Over the years, I've gained clarity

So, page seven:

and sighed with relief for not

So, page seven:

getting what I thought was surely

So, page seven:

meant for me.

So, page seven:

Often. I've not got what I wanted,

So, page seven:

only to find I'd later been blessed

So, page seven:

with even more".

So, page seven:

I love this chapter because, one,

So, page seven:

it's brutally honest about how

So, page seven:

Vex was feeling really sorry for

So, page seven:

himself.

So, page seven:

And I think, you know, I don't think

So, page seven:

there's a single person listening to

So, page seven:

this that have gone through those

So, page seven:

stages at multiple times

So, page seven:

in their lives. You know, sometimes

So, page seven:

we do feel sorry for ourselves and

So, page seven:

it's quite important to go there and

So, page seven:

not suppress it.

So, page seven:

But look how quickly things can

So, page seven:

turn around.

So, page seven:

So let's get on to the next chapter

So, page seven:

and see what happens next.

:

"The Law of Vibration.

:

The universe responds to your

:

vibration.

:

It will return whatever energy

:

you put out.

:

We hear this a lot".

:

Just pausing straight away on this

:

one because we hear this so

:

much about the law of vibration and

:

we get back like a boomerang exactly

:

what we put out.

:

But how many of us really believe it

:

and how many of us are really

:

observing what's manifesting

:

in our lives and why that is?

:

"Beyond the Law of Attraction is The

Law of Vibration.

It's the key component to a greater

life.

Once you learn and apply the ideas

around this law, your life will

transform.

all difficulties.

:

What you will do, though, is find a

:

way to take control and create

:

a life that feels just as good as it

:

looks.

:

Now, one of the earliest authors of

:

self-improvement literature

:

is Napoleon Hill.

:

His 1937 book,

:

Think and Grow Rich, remains one

:

of the bestselling books of all

:

time.

:

Many of the world's greatest

:

entrepreneurial gurus praise its

:

guidance to achieving success.

:

Hill's research for his book

:

included interviews with 500

:

successful men and women to

:

find out what they'd done to attain

:

their success.

:

He then shared the wisdom he'd

:

accumulated from them.

:

Among his conclusions, he claimed:

:

"we are what we are because of the

:

vibrations of thought, which we

:

pick up and register

:

through the stimuli of our everyday

:

environment".

:

Hill makes many references to the

:

concept of vibration in

:

his book, and you'll see the word

:

vibration today is

:

commonly abbreviated to 'vibe'

:

a number of times in my book too".

:

That was one of the first

:

self-improvement books that I read.

:

The Napoleon Hill

:

Think and Grow Rich, absolutely

:

brilliant. And actually I've

:

got seven people in my life,

:

including my husband, where it

:

was really, really transformational

:

for them. So, I really

:

recommend to anyone that hasn't read

:

that, they read that it's

:

a brilliant read.

:

Yet many later editions of Hill's

:

book removed any mention of

:

the word vibration.

:

Perhaps the publishers didn't

:

believe the world was ready for

:

Hill's concept.

:

Even today, metaphysical laws

:

relate to vibration of under

:

criticism due to lack of scientific

:

evidence".

:

Ugh, that's so annoying.

:

"Despite this, there have been a

:

number of attempts to explain the

:

law of vibration.

:

Scientist Dr. Bruce Lipton and

:

author Greg Brayden are among those

:

at the forefront of bridging the gap

:

between science and spirituality".

:

Think everyone knows how much I love

:

those two.

:

"Their ideas on how our thoughts

:

affect our lives support the

:

concepts suggested by the Law of

:

Vibration, even if

:

some believe it to be no more than

:

modern pseudoscience".

:

I bet those people who think it's

:

pseudo science aren't attracting

:

what they want into their lives!

:

"Regardless, i, for one, have found

:

the Law of Vibration resonates

:

deeply with me and helps me make

:

sense of life.

:

And I know many others have

:

discovered this too.

:

I've seen miraculous changes occur

:

from using the Law of Vibration,

:

and whether you become a believer,

:

or remain on the other side

:

of the fence.

:

Throughout this book, you learn that

:

the Law of Vibration does no harm.

:

Sometimes, first hand experience

:

is more valuable than any data,

:

measurable in numbers and graphs".

:

I so believe that.

:

"So what is the lower vibration?

:

To begin with, remember that

:

everything is made up of atoms

:

and every atom is a little

:

vibration.

:

Therefore, all matter, and energy is

:

vibrational by nature.

:

If you think back to school, you

:

were taught that solids, liquids and

:

gases are all different states of

:

matter.

:

The frequency of the vibrations at

:

a molecular level defines what state

:

they're in and how they appear to

:

us.

:

Reality as we perceive it, occurs

:

only through matching vibrations.

:

In other words, for reality to

:

be perceived, we have to be

:

vibrationally compatible with it.

:

The human ear, for example, will

:

only hear soundwaves that are

:

between 20 and 20,000

:

vibrations per second.

:

This doesn't mean that other sound

:

waves don't exist, we

:

just can't perceive them.

:

When a dog whistle is blown, the

:

frequency is above the vibrational

:

range of the human ear and therefore

:

doesn't exist to us".

:

Obviously it does to the dog.

:

"In his book, The Vibrational

:

Universe, Spiritual author

:

Kenneth James and Michael McClain

:

writes that our five senses

:

our thoughts as well as matter

:

and energy, are all vibrational.

:

He argues that reality is perception

:

defined by vibrational

:

interpretation.

:

Our universe is clearly a deep

:

sea of vibrational frequencies,

:

meaning that reality is a

:

vibrational aether that is

:

responsive to changes in vibration.

:

If the universe is responsive to

:

our thoughts, words, feelings

:

and actions, because

:

according to MacLaren, they're all

:

vibrational, then

:

it's assumed by the law of vibration

:

that we can control our

:

reality.

:

Change the way you think, feel,

:

speak and act, and you begin

:

to change the world.

:

To bring an idea into an existence,

:

or rather, into your perception,

:

you must match its vibrational

:

frequency.

:

The more real or solid something

:

is to you, the closer you are

:

to it vibrationally.

:

This is why, when you truly believe

:

in something and act as if

:

it were already true, you increase

:

the chances of it coming into your

:

physical reality".

:

We hear this so much, don't we,

:

there's so many people, whether it's

:

Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden,

:

loads of other people, Rhonda Byrne

:

from The Secret.

:

There's so many people that have

:

really been putting it into practice

:

and realise this is true.

:

The best way

:

to really do this is to do it

:

yourself. So

:

let's all just make sure we start

:

practising some of the tips in this

:

book and let's just see and

:

monitor what results come for us.

:

What have you got to lose?

:

"To receive or perceive the reality

:

you wish to have, you must be in

:

energetic harmony with that with

:

which you desire.

:

This means that our thoughts,

:

emotions, words and actions

:

must align with what we want.

:

This can be represented by taking

:

two tuning forks that are calibrated

:

to the same frequency.

:

If you strike one of them so that it

:

starts vibrating, the second fork

:

will also vibrate, whilst remaining

:

untouched.

:

The vibration from the struck tuning

:

fork transfers to the untouched

:

tuning fork because they're attuned

:

to the same frequency.

:

They're in vibrational harmony.

:

If they're not in vibrational

:

harmony, then the vibration of the

:

struck tuning fork will not

:

translate to the other.

:

Similarly, to listen to a specific

:

radio station, you have to tune

:

in the receiver to the frequency of

:

that station.

:

This is the only way you can hear

:

it.

:

If you tune into a different

:

frequency, you'll end up listening

:

to a completely different station".

:

It sounds obvious.

:

It really does sound obvious, but

:

these are such important analogies

:

for people to really integrate.

:

"Once you're in vibrational

:

resonance with something, you begin

:

to attract it into your reality.

:

The best way to identify what

:

frequency you are on is through your

:

emotions.

:

Your emotions show a true reflection

:

of your energy.

:

Sometimes we can believe we're in a

:

positive state of mind or taking

:

good actions.

:

But deep down, we know we're not.

:

We're just pretending.

:

If we pay attention to our emotions,

:

we can see the true nature of our

:

vibration and therefore what we're

:

attracting into our life.

:

If we feel good, we'll think good

:

thoughts and as a result, we'll

:

take positive actions".

:

This is so important.

:

And I talk a lot about my

:

relationship with animals, and I'm

:

lucky enough to spend my life

:

surrounded by animals.

:

It's so, so important.

:

And, you know, if you want any doubt

:

about what vibration you're actually

:

in, try looking at how

:

any animals are responding around

:

you if you're lucky enough to have

:

some in your life.

:

If you haven't, get a really

:

honest friend or family member to

:

say what they pick up from

:

you in terms of what they think

:

you're feeling and what vibration

:

you're at. You can use words that

:

makes sense to them and to you.

:

But when we're really open to

:

that honest feedback,

:

then we can really start making

:

improvements in our life and

:

attracting in what we want.

:

Because so often, you

:

know, we've got blind spots to where

:

we really are.

:

And it's really important that if we

:

want to move forward and change

:

things in our life, we recognise

:

that.

:

So we're now on page 19:

:

"Good Vibes Only.

:

Good vibes are simply higher states

:

of vibration.

:

The terms 'good' and 'positive'

:

are used interchangeably to describe

:

something desirable.

:

For example, every time you label

:

a past event as good or positive

:

experience, you're referring

:

to it in this way because

:

it went as you'd hoped, or at least

:

not as badly as it could have been.

:

Essentially, you want things that

:

you want because they make you feel

:

good.

:

All of life's desires are pursued

:

to bring about a pleasurable

:

emotional state and to avoid

:

displeasure.

:

Most of us believe that attaining

:

our desires will lead to happiness.

:

Given that 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.

:

Think about it when you feel

:

good, your life also appears

:

to be good.

:

If you could continually experience

:

good vibes, you'll always view

:

your life in a positive light.

:

"Physician, Dr. Hans Jenny is known

:

for coining the term 'cymatics',

:

which is a study of physical

:

sounds and vibration".

:

Oh, look this up on YouTube it's

:

amazing.

:

Cymatics, that's spelled C Y M A T I C S.

:

One of his best known experiments

:

shows the effect of sound on sand

:

sprinkled onto a flat metal plate

:

that's made to vibrate at different

:

frequencies by striking a violin

:

bow against its edge.

:

Various patterns are formed

:

depending on the different

:

frequencies.

:

At higher vibrations, beautifully

:

intricate patterns are formed.

:

Lower vibrations produce less

:

appealing shapes.

:

A higher vibration then creates more

:

enjoyable effects.

:

Ideally, we want to feel as loving

:

and joyful as we can in life.

:

These are the highest vibrational

:

feelings and will help us manifest

:

more of what we want and

:

by extension, more good vibrations.

:

In contrast, feelings of hatred,

:

anger and despair have very

:

low vibration.

:

They'll attract more of what you

:

don't want.

:

Based on the principle of the Law of

:

Vibration, to receive good

:

vibes, we must project good vibes.

:

As transmitters and receivers

:

are vibrational frequencies.

:

The vibrations we put out are

:

always pulling in stuff

:

that's vibrationally at a similar

:

frequency to us.

:

This means the feelings we put out

:

into the universe will be returned

:

to us through matching vibrations.

:

So, if you send out feelings of joy,

:

then you'll be given more things to

:

feel joyful about.

:

The misconception is that you feel

:

good only once you have what

:

you want.

:

The truth is you can feel good

:

right now.

:

"Ultimately self-love and raising

:

the level of your vibrations go

:

hand in hand.

:

When you make an effort to raise

:

your vibration, you show

:

yourself the love and care you

:

deserve.

:

You'll feel good and attract good.

:

By taking positive actions

:

and changing your mindset,

:

you'll manifest greater things.

:

By loving yourself, you'll live

:

a life you love".

:

So that's the end of part one.

:

Next time we'll get onto part two:

:

positive lifestyle habits.

:

There's so much, you know, when

:

you're reading through these things,

:

it's very easy to

:

sort of skip through things and not

:

really take in just the significance

:

of how important these things are.

:

So one of the reasons I thought I'd

:

do this as a book club in short bite

:

sizes is depending what time you've

:

got, you can listen to one or

:

you can listen to quite

:

a few at once and you can replay

:

the bits that you need to just

:

really make sure it goes in to you

:

a vibrational level.

:

Because so often it's these

:

simple, simple messages

:

that can really transform our life

:

the most.

:

So this week I

:

think there's loads to to think

:

about. Please let me know what

:

experience of this have you got.

:

How do you find that

:

you shift that vibration

:

of yourself? What works for you?

:

And have you tried things that

:

haven't worked for you?

:

And let us know some of the results

:

you've been getting.

:

For me, I speak a lot in a lot

:

of my videos about gratitude.

:

It's so simple.

:

People say eurgh gratitude and being

:

grateful, but it is literally

:

transformative enough to transform

:

your life.

:

If your inner state

:

and if you're really

:

creating an

:

energy of gratitude

:

all through your day, from the

:

moment you wake up to the last thing

:

at night, just watch

:

how much things shift with you.

:

And like Vex said in that chapter...

:

You know, sometimes if

:

we haven't got what we've expect to

:

or specific things we ask for,

:

often the universe has a reason for

:

it, and something even better

:

comes along to replace it.

:

So I think keeping that open,

:

curious mind, to me, and

:

asking...

:

You know, people sort of say, well,

:

how do I know where i'm vibrating

:

at? It's really simple.

:

Look at your life.

:

If things are going how you want in

:

your life, that's a really good

:

reflection that right here, right

:

now, you'll find voice a really

:

great frequency for yourself

:

if things aren't in any

:

areas of your life.

:

And I think that's the case for most

:

of us. Most people have got some

:

area of their life that they would

:

really like to improve

:

on, then being really honest

:

about what your thoughts are, what

:

your feelings, what you're putting

:

out there, and how that could relate

:

to what you get that.

:

So a good example that I've come

:

across recently is

:

if you're with friends

:

or you're the type of person that is

:

taught negatively about others

:

or other situations,

:

then that is a very low vibe

:

and then that energy is

:

going to come back to you.

:

Try shifting it around.

:

There's quite a few videos I've done

:

on Toxic Positivity.

:

You'll see that with my friend

:

Bryce on Esoteric Atlanta.

:

But, so we're not talking about

:

falsely ignoring or letting abuse

:

happen or not having good

:

boundaries, and we'll come onto this

:

later in the book, I'm sure.

:

But what we all talking about

:

is making sure that you're not

:

bringing yourself down and

:

attracting into...

:

Things into your life you don't want

:

to by focusing on these low

:

vibrational behaviours, emotions

:

and feelings.

:

So thank you so much for listening.

:

Thank you so much for Vex, and

:

I will be back next time for the

:

next in the series.

:

I really hope there's at least one

:

thing that you can take away and

:

apply to your own life or to

:

the lives of your animals.

:

Thank you so much for taking the

:

time to listen and if you feel

:

inspired, please do share

:

with your friends and family.

:

My goal is to inspire as many

:

people as I can to live their best

:

lives.
