GOOD VIBES GOOD LIFE BOOK REVIEW
Stop trying to impress people. Impress yourself. Stretch yourself. Test yourself. Be the best version of yourself that you can be.
CHAPTER: WHAT IS SELF LOVE?
Self-love is the balance between accepting yourself as you are while knowing you deserve better and then working towards it.
To achieve a sense of peace, we need balance: balance between work and play, between action and patience, spending and saving, laughter and seriousness, leaving and staying.

It’s important to recognize that it’s not unjust to let go of those who show no concern for you.
True self-love can be present in anything that adds value to your life, from your diet to your spiritual rituals or the way you interact within your personal relationships.
Change the way you think, feel, speak and act, and you begin to change your world.
Life Amazing Secrets By Gaur Gopal Das
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.
Good vibes are simply higher states of vibration. The feelings we project are returned on a like-for-like basis through our experiences.
CHAPTER: SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE
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. They’re vibrating higher than you and there’s a good chance that you can absorb some of their energy.
Positive people can also provide empowering perspectives on our problems. Being in a positive state, they’re more likely to have an optimistic outlook on what we’re going through.
When you spend more time with people who add value to your life and elevate your mood, you’ll begin to adopt their encouraging thinking patterns and reflect their vibrations back at them.
CHAPTER: CHANGE YOUR BODY LANGUAGE
If smiling for no reason feels too strange, then find a reason to smile. You could smile at the prospect of your smile itself making someone else feel happier. They might smile back at you, giving you a genuine reason to keep your smile alive.
If you can act like someone who feels good, your internal state will change and your vibration will rise.
Muhammad Ali famously said, ‘To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.
You could smile at the prospect of your smile itself making someone else feel happier. They might smile back at you, giving you a genuine reason to keep your smile alive.
CHAPTER: TAKE SOME TIME OUT
Don’t underestimate the importance of taking time to relax. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our lives and what’s going on around us that we become overwhelmed and tense.
Sometimes you have to unplug yourself from the world for a moment, so you can reset yourself.
You don’t have to make this complicated. You could go outside for a walk, do some work in your garden, go and sit under a tree, or gaze up at the stars.
CHAPTER: FIND SOME INSPIRATION
When you begin to doubt your abilities, you can quickly fall deep into a sea of misery. You begin to experience all the lower vibrational states and this can be damaging.
When you’re inspired, you find the drive and you feel good about where you’re going and what’s possible in your life.
CHAPTER: STAY CLEAR OF GOSSIP AND DRAMA
Distance yourself from conversations about others, or try to direct the discussion to something more positive. You’ll notice that more often or not, people who spend their time gossiping are the ones who seem to complain or find comfort in misery.
Your ego is your self-image created by thought. It’s your social mask, one that constantly requires validation because it lives in fear of losing its sense of identity.
Ego is the reason people buy things they don’t need – to impress people they don’t even care about. It’s the reason we become bitter about other people’s successes.
Time is precious and you should be investing it wisely by doing something constructive that will make your life greater.
CHAPTER: EXPRESS GRATITUDE
Before you complain about school, remember that some people can’t even get an education. Before you complain about getting fat, remember that some people don’t even have any food.
Being thankful is one of the simplest, and yet most powerful, habits you can cultivate. By counting your blessings daily, you can begin to condition your mind to look for the good in everything around you.
The more you count your blessings, the more blessings you’ll have to count.
CHAPTER: AWARENESS OF THE PRESENT
Every second you spend thinking about the next moment you avoid embracing the present. Ensure your life isn’t lived entirely in your head.
You were simply enjoying where you were. This is what’s known as being in the present moment.
Technology is a tool, not a substitute for living.
We make life all about a future that exists only in our imagination and completely misses what’s happening in front of us.
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.
By developing awareness of the present moment, we can maintain a higher vibration because we avoid being paralysed by past pain or future fear.
CHAPTER: MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY
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.
You have a lot of energy to give, but you must save some of that energy for yourself. You came into this world alone and you’ll leave on your own. Your longest relationship in life is with yourself. It is much easier to see the good in life when you are around positive people.
CHAPTER: MEDITATION
Meditation eases the resistance that your ego creates. This brings a sense of calm, clarity and enhanced patience. The author says when I need to raise my vibration, I know that meditation will restore good feelings.
Meditation helps you arrive at conscious awareness of the present moment – and that’s a powerful tool to use in every part of your life.
You practice meditation by being fully present at the moment via your senses, while calmly observing your thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations – from a distance, without judgement.
As you meditate more often, you’ll gain perspective on the restricting thoughts you’ve been playing over in your mind.
CHAPTER: CHECK YOUR OWN BEHAVIOUR
The author says 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.
We’re all different and we all deserve respect for our feelings. Acknowledging and understanding someone’s pain not only allows you to learn about them but also helps you to grow.
SOME GREAT POINTS AND QUOTES FROM THE BOOK :
- Sometimes you have to break away from the toxicity so you can heal.
- You can’t change those who aren’t ready to change.
- Simplify your circle of friends. Keep those who add value to your life; remove those who don’t.
- Less is always more when your less means more.
- Some friends want you to do well, but not too well. It’s important that we do not settle for these mediocre friendships either, as they’ll fill our lives with negative energy.
- If you don’t prove that you’re serious about what you want to do, you can’t expect other people to be serious about it either.
- Before you try to fix someone else’s vibe, make sure you’re not killing your own in the process. Protect your own energy first.
