How can you learn to truly love yourself? How can you transform negative emotions into positive ones? Is it possible to find lasting happiness? Setting boundaries means creating rules for yourself about what behaviors are acceptable and unacceptable in your relationships. This way, if someone steps out of bounds (i.e. acts like a jerk), then they’ll know what they did wrong and how to fix it next time around. Join the self-love revolution with visionary writer Vex King and discover inspirational messages and universal wisdom to help you manifest positive vibes.
The fact is that if you want to ‘unleash your greatness’ you need to consistently work hard and make sacrifices, and unfortunately this doesn’t always feel good. Nobody is motivated to go for their scheduled run every single time, and even during the runs that they are motived for, it’s still not a ‘feel good’ experience. Most of the time you’re trying to convince yourself why you should keep enduring the pain and you do it for the satisfaction and progress towards your goals. Nature is known for its healing properties and for helping you achieve a higher frequency. For this reason, make sure to dedicate some quality time for self-care in nature once in a while. Forest bathing is a popular practice in this regard – and for a reason! Lesson 2: Setting boundaries can help you cut toxic people and work on yourself more. A fulfilling life means being content with what you have. It means being grateful for the little things in life that make you happy—like spending time with friends and family, having a good meal, and watching a movie with your partner, all while knowing that you deserve more.

Setting boundaries isn’t just about cutting toxic people out of your life; it’s also about helping yourself grow as an individual. When we allow others to dictate how things go for us, we often end up feeling resentful toward those people, and we don’t get what we want out of life because we’re too busy trying to please them. Lesson 3: Learn to work on yourself, plant happy seeds in your mind, and enjoy your presence. Not only is the fundamental message of this book flawed it also serves as a recipe for entitlement, the type of thinking that leads someone to think they are owed something without having earned it. It is true that, on occasion, Vex advocates the necessity for hard work and gratitude, however the book is full of contradictions that negate this message every time. The most striking example of this is as follows:
The Law of Vibration states that your emotions have an effect on your reality. You can’t just manifest something—you need to believe in it and channel those emotions toward your dream. You can’t just wish for something; you have to feel it! This is how you will bring yourself closer to your goals and make them a reality. We are a vulnerable bunch of humans trying to carve our way across the stretch of unexpected landmines (emotional outbursts). The only way to live a quality life is to be aware of your issues and work on them effectively. And the best way to do that is to read this supremely amazing book by Vex King. Extra brownie points to the author for writing this book in an extremely simple and easy fashion. He has managed to write the book in a very easy language. The first is that it leaves the reader in a continuous loop of failure and procrastination. If Vex asserts that self-esteem needs to be present during the journey to success then his followers will logically, consciously or unconsciously, come to the conclusion that there’s no point pursuing success without first acquiring self-esteem. With this reasoning it can seem like self-esteem is as crucial as taking a passport to the airport, which is why it makes sense to prioritise acquiring self-esteem above all else, even the journey towards success itself.Money is readily available to everyone and the distance between you and money is determined only by your attitudes towards it"
In the book “The Paradox of Choice” by psychologist Barry Schwartz, he makes the case that ‘settling’ for ‘good enough’ is actually far more satisfying than constantly searching for ‘best’. For some people, working a nine to five job and coming home to a family may be ‘mediocre’ on a grand scale - yet still extremely satisfying by their own standards.
It’s so easy to access information, but it’s so damn difficult to process the information. And this is why so many young and older people are having a tough time dealing with their lives. There is this constant flow of unsolicited free information and absolutely zero skills at handling and processing them. This is why reading Vex King’s book on the law of vibration and manifestations will come in handy. The level of vibration at which you are functioning determines the quality of your life. If you’re spending your days with negative people, studies show that you too will feel and act in a negative way. You become who you spend your time with, so make sure to surround yourself with happy people. To increase confidence, the book shows that sitting in a straight pose for a minimum of 20-minutes per day should do it. Good Vibes, Good Life by Vex King doesn’t promote staying in your comfort zone, but rather that happiness doesn’t come from changing your life drastically or having more of everything. It comes from figuring out what makes you happy and embracing that. For more in Vex King is the Number 1 Sunday Times Bestselling author of Good Vibes, Good Life, and Healing is the New High. He is also a social media content creator and mind coach. He experienced many challenges when he was growing up: his father died when Vex was just a baby, his family were often homeless and he grew up in troubled neighbourhoods where he regularly experienced violence and racism. Despite this, Vex successfully turned his whole life around and is now leading a revolution for the next generation of spiritual seekers. When it comes down to it, setting boundaries isn’t about hurting anyone else—it’s about taking care of yourself first. In the long run, people will respect you more and you’ll get to enjoy quality time by yourself without feeling bad.
The book tries to arrange the same old self help advice around 'the law of vibration' and 'the law of attraction'. Firstly the law of vibration is all well and good, we are all vibrating. Nothing in the universe is ever still, I'm on board with that. However, Vex King goes on to say how our own vibrations our thoughts, our mood and even the food we eat can impact the universe around us. Which brings us onto 'the law of attraction' which states that if you want something, then by focusing on it and visualising it the "universe will rearrange itself for you" and "the universe will always support you". She goes on to use the example of a new car. Want a new car? Then focus on it and visualise it really carefully and you will get the new car! Of course there is something in the fact that if you spend enough time thinking and wanting something eventually your behaviours will change and align to your goal and this will of course help in achieving it. But that is very different from the view that the universe is bending to your desires. What happens if you dont achieve your goal? you can't afford a new car say. Does that mean then the unvierse is ignoring you? The universe and cosmic powers have decided you are unfit or not worthy of the car? That's sad. Derren Brown's book 'Happy' goes into the damage that these views can have.
Vex overcame adversity to become a source of hope for thousands of young people, and now draws from his personal experience and his intuitive wisdom to inspire you to: Vex also preaches a message that is a poison spreading through our culture. What he, knowingly or unknowingly, advocates is ‘hedonism’. This is the philosophy of living a life characterised by the pursuit of pleasure and minimisation of pain, and he admits this early in the book where he states his intention is to release people ‘from undesirable feelings and increase feelings of joy.’ It’s also plainly evident in title of his book ‘Good Vibes, Good Life’. But now the world has completely transformed. Every single individual has the power to access all kinds of information. And I consciously chose the word ‘power’ because being informed is power. It may not feel like it is because it’s so easily available these days. Still, the moment you imagine your life without unlimited access to information, you will feel helplessness creeping in. Now, ‘information’ is neither bad nor good. It’s how you deal with the information that’s important. Good vibes, good life. If you have read any self help book before then don't bother with this one. It adds nothing new and you will have heard it all before, well the good bits.
