Book: Being in Balance by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

I recently read Being in Balance by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It talks about our thoughts and how they influence our actions. It explores imbalance under different themes like being and doing, addictions, how we see ourselves vs. how the world sees us, and more.

He refers to imbalance as "the gap" between what we want and what we do.

"What we think, we create."

"Our thoughts shape our reality."

You might have heard a similar saying... so if we think low-quality thoughts, we will produce low-quality results. Those results add up to be our life.

  • What are your dreams?

  • What are your goals?

  • What's your vision?

When your purpose is clear and you know where you are going, you can adjust your thoughts and actions accordingly.

Eventually, your thoughts shape the vision you have for your life.

This vision, if nurtured long enough, combined with concrete actions (small steps in the right direction), will produce enough willpower for you to take action that supports the vision you have.

Thoughts → Behaviors (Actions) → Results (Repeat)

Align your thoughts with your vision—whether it is financial, health, relationships, or spiritual. Each sphere of our lives is worth spending some time thinking about what we want it to look like.

The Whole Book is About Rebalancing Our Life

To be more in the present, to look within, and hopefully stop chasing.

Energy is Currency

If we think of our energy as currency (a limited supply), we will be more conscious about how we spend that energy daily.

If we think about low-vibration stuff all day like: what people think of you, stressful events that happened yesterday, someone who was mean to you, etc.... we won't have enough energy to think about all the things you want.

It's crazy when you think about it... most of the time we think about stuff that we don't want rather than stuff that we want.

"I hope this doesn't happen"

Instead of saying:

"I'm confident that this will happen"

See the difference?

  • The former comes from fear

  • The latter comes from love

We Either Live Out of Fear or Out of Love

Fear attracts: self-doubt, comparison, negativity, anger, stress, anxiety

Love attracts: abundance, hope, passion, confidence, purpose

All this to say that this book has really made me reflect on my own life and how I can apply the concepts highlighted throughout the reading.
