"I really felt there were elements of this program that will help me create the life of my dreams"

Before I started this program I had disconnected with myself and the universe as a result of the traumatic birth of my son and giving him my undivided attention...I stopped meditating as any spare time I had was used catching up on sleep, housework, cooking and trying to stay 5 steps ahead ... then COVID-19 broke and I was separated from my beloved and forced to live with my parents trapped in their house for 4 months ... I could feel myself being triggered and my mental health was beginning to suffer ... i decided that when I returned back to Italy I would be more focussed, more conscious and more connected ... below is my journal entry for the last day... 

#Day 30 - Graduation Day - yippeeee! I really felt there were elements of this program that will help me create the life of my dreams 
- Thank you Vishen Lakhiani for giving me yet more tools for my toolbox 
- I defo feel that I can and have absorb things logically and literally and put them into practice, yet consistency and really tuning into the intuition are the 2 major areas I need to develop. On doing the graph today I would say I am on the cusp of Bending Reality and stress and anxiety - so I would say that all I really need to do is practice being happy in the Now - perhaps another read of THE POWER OF NOW (4th time) would be beneficial and perhaps new insights will come ...

 I've responded to the questions that Vishen has asked as follows: 
1) WHAT HAS CHANGED - Mainly I am back home in Italy and with my beloved... this was always going to happen, but I feel I have returned with a more positive attitude - I am more grateful, conscious, grounded and have more acceptance of what is in the now. Being around my parents for 4 months has forced me to address my own upbringing and what effect that has had on me - I know that I have absorbed more of their energy (anger / frustration) and so have asked Gennaro to alert me to the fact I'm in "Angry Cat" mode. 
2) DO YOU SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY - yes - I am more aware that Praiano and Italy is now my home and I've released the need to go back to the UK every 6 months 
- I've also released the need to keep in touch with everyone - people know my door and heart is always open and they can visit me anytime they want, rather than me busting a gut to visit every one man and is dog! 
3) HAS ANYTHING SHIFTED? - Yes I understand the importance of attachment to the outcome - not only to my main vision (living in a spacious dream home) but also to my relationships with others - I believe that on a scale from 1/10 I would say I'm a 8.5 on the unfuckwithable chart... yet when someone I love attacks me for no apparent reason, it hurts so deep. I find it a real paradox to honour my boundaries and yet release relationships that no longer serve me - I'm struggling to deal with the fact that there are elements of my parents behaviour is less than nurturing, my brother only sees things from his perspective and cuts ties if you do him wrong and when best friends do things un to me that I would never, ever do to them. So for sure not being attached to anything outside myself is a huge wake up call for me and somehting that I need to work on. 
4) HAS SOMETHING MANIFESTED? In a word - perhaps... An option for a house MAY have come up and I'm waiting for Gennrro to investigate - normally I would remind him (or nag him if truth be told!) to follow up the lead, but I will leave it open and give Gennaro the space to let divine timing come our way. 
5) HAS AN INTUITIVE IDEA COME IN? - Yes even before I started this program "blossom" kept coming in... A girl I am coaching (free of charge) needed an acceptance to trauma meditation - I recalled one i did a couple of years ago and thought I would tune in to see if I could get any inspiration - she spoke how her daughter who passed was like pure apple blossom as that was her life cycle that her spirit had chosen - having 3 miscarriages and having lost my 15 year old nephew - this resonated with me hugely.... I started the program and went into the shop to buy a journal - the one that jumped out to me was covered in pink flowers and was simply called "Blossom". in one of the meditations I asked if I should rename my biz (currently vITALIAty Mind Body Soul) and if so, what to... Apple Blossom Coaching came up - follwed by ABC for Acceptance, Balance and Connection, which is what I will be the core of my coaching. I purchased the domain and am in the process of rebranding from Red, White & Green (Italian Flag) to Pink (compassion), Green (love/new life) and Gold (source/abundance). 
6) INCREASE IN WISDOM - YES!!!! Also to understand where I am now, I believe that I'm fairly high up on the scale anyway on my identity and resonance - but improvements can defo be made and I feel I have more confidence to do that.... 
7) MORE STRUCTURED DAILY PRACTICE - I've struggled in the past as over the past 8 years I've obtained so many practices that if I were to do them all it would take me all bloody day!!! I will try Vishen's recommendation and see how I get on!! 
8) Summary - I've really loved this course, meeting some people in the tribe via messaging and becoming more connected to the Mindvalley family.... I had a dream that I would meet Vishen Lakhiani so one of my ways to take action is to reach out and see if there is anyway I can be more involved with his events 
- My background is events management, logistics, client liaison, travel coordination, budget management and as an Executive Assistant to celebrities, aristocracy, millionaires and entrepreneurs; my skillset is pretty vast (hence why I thought doing a start up would be a lot easier!!) After the traumatic birth of my son I have given him my undivided attention, now a year has passed and I fee the time is right to re-engage with my innerself, connect more strongly with the universe and get on with contributing to making this planet a better place to live. 

LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU ALL BELOVED ONES.
