Hey Lou Oh God, there is so much so, so so much that I really want to say on here. There is like so much happening at the moment in my life and I'm dying to do a podcast episode on the absolute fucking craziness that has happened in the last week and it I'm still processing it actually to be completely honest because it was so nuts the way it happened like. So last week we were on to week 11 and level up your life. And we were going into the law of attraction, the law of

vibration. And every time this happens, every round, something crazy happens in my life. And it's like well, because I've really knuckle down reinforced all these practices. I'm teaching it so I'm getting lit up and watching my clients have all these wins. So then my vibes getting lifted, I'm getting more inspired. Like, it's always just this big, positive manifestation orgy and like, I love getting to the enemy like holy shit I have

levelled up to every round. And this round has blown my mind even in terms of like, the way it worked from an energetical vibrational perspective, like the synchronicities and the crazy little moments where I've been like, what the heck, you can't write this stuff like It's so insane. So I am going to do a podcast episode on that in a while I just don't, I'm still processing it, I'm still living in my little bubble. I'm still just anchoring into the magic. And I'm still anchoring into the

gratitude. And, and that is, by the way, one of the techniques that I teach and strategies, it's like, let's linger on this, let's lean into this more, let's build the momentum. Let's reflect Let's lean into gratitude and add more of this positive energy. So I'm so excited to do a podcast on just a bit of a life update. And that's going to be coming in the next couple of weeks. It's just been amazing. And I can't

believe it's May, it's crazy. I spent this morning getting ready for the final level up your life call tonight. And I'm like, how has it been three months. It's just crazy what's been going on. I feel like we're in a time warp. And it's just all so it's just also poetic. Like even today, it's a very final round of this cohorts level up your life journey. And it's also the day that two of my beautiful friends and ex level up your life clients are flying over from New South Wales and from

Adelaide. And I just feel so grateful, so blessed for this journey. And this life that is just magical at the moment, I can't express my gratitude for life. And this is actually kind of what I'm talking about today. And I sort of just assumed I was thinking about it this morning, I kind of assumed I'd already done an episode on gratitude. Because it's just such a foundational thing in my life. It's such a, it's literally the cornerstone of all my mindset practices. I think it's why I'm

such an optimistic person. It's why I'm generally quite happy is because I'm just so I guess frothy for the fact that like, this life exists. And we can make anything we wanted to and like I say to my clients in level up when we do the abundance mindset. Weeks, is we are on a zoom call. And we are literally like on our laptops on our phones we've spent you'd like everyone that comes into my world through as clients, they're literally spending extra

money to self actualize. And to become a better version of themselves and to level up. And that level of privilege is just something that we should be so grateful for like, and I want to talk about it today. Because I've really, really like I have manifested some crazy shit in

the last couple of weeks. And it doesn't surprise me that it all happened right after a very pivotal moment where something happened in my life that actually rocked me a little bit and then really brought me back into just how grateful we are to have another day on this planet. And so I want to talk about it because a it makes life feel really nice and B it keeps your

vibration so high. And because when you are living from a place of abundance, and overflow, overflow, and you live from a place of Holy shit, how good is this, you attract more of that and the more you look for reasons to be grateful, the more you attract reasons to be grateful. And I really do believe that for some of us, not all of us, it's not our natural tendency, like actually, the human brain is wired to look for the things that aren't working. It's wired to look for what we

got wrong. It's wired to look for risk. It's wired, wired to keep us safe. And so it's usually scanning for risks. And it's usually trying to stop us from harm. And that's why sometimes just that reminder to hold on, bring it back to gratitude, bring it back to like look at where we are looking at this life. Look at how abundant we actually are. And and use that mindset to take us through our day and to actually become manifesting fucking magnets like

magnets. I can't tell you I'm so excited to talk to you about

what's been going on. But anyway, so when you come from a place of gratitude and overflow, and you know, regardless of what is happening on the external world, regardless of your possessions, regardless of the money in your account, regardless of all this external external stuff, when you live internally, from a place of Whoa, like, Oh, my God, my heart is beating still, I don't have to do anything to make the fucking organs in my body just naturally do what they need to

do to keep me safe to keep me healthy, holy shit, I can walk down to the beach for free in Australia, where we have the best beaches in the world, and sit and watch the most magnificent sunsets that you will ever see Holy shit, I have got relationships in my life, where I have got that many people on my speed dial, if anything happened, they would drop everything to come and support me to help me to love me unconditionally. Holy shit, I live in a world where I have literally got technology at my

fingertips. That means I don't even have to leave my couch to get Zambrero or some big Mexican feast delivered to my front door, or any cuisine I choose. Because that is the level of abundance that is in my life. And when we think of abundance, a lot of the time we think about like financials or money. And to me, I think when you start really focusing on those intrinsic things that you can choose to be grateful for at any given moment, you start to live

from a place of overflow. And then from a manifestation perspective, because you already have so much you are never trying to manifest from a subconscious place of lack from a subconscious place of I'm not where I want to be I don't have enough yet. I'm not where I'm like I'm, it's almost this underlying current of lack and limitation. And that's a low vibrational energy. And so that helps from a perspective of energetics and manifestation to also help with that, that energy

of detachment. Because when you're trying to manifest, you actually need to be in a state of whatever sort of detached from the outcome. So I'd love I love this thing. I love my life right now, I can't wait to be where I'm going. I'm excited for this journey. I'm so excited for what I know is coming. But also I'm already in such a place of gratitude and overflow and abundance, that I don't have this attached, desperate, clingy low vibrational energy. And so that's what I want to talk about

really quickly today. And I feel like it's going to be a quick, sharp, big old reminder to you right now, wherever you are in your car driving or out walking, wherever you are, literally look around, like, just look around you right now in this moment and look at all of the beauty that surrounds you, like even internally look at the fact that you've got eyeballs that can see some people don't have that some people have never seen a sunset.

What about the fact that maybe you are listening to this from an iPhone, or a bloody computer that lives inside of your pocket that can connect you to anyone

and anything at all times? What about the fact that right now you've got exactly what you need for your body to regulate the perfect temperature, to digest food to get rid of toxins, like take a moment for wherever you are currently at to remember also, right now this place in your life is where you want dreamed of being right now, in this current situation, no matter where that is. This was all probably once just a goal

that you had for yourself. Like, if you think to your darkest day, your darkest day in your life. Imagine right now telling that little version of you look how good it's gonna be. Or imagine saying to your younger self, who was having a really tough time, look at where I am. Now look how far I've come like, there is so much that we can choose to be grateful for and I had a reminder of this happen in my life a couple of weeks ago and it. So I'm going to tell the

story of what happened. And the lesson I learned from it and how I applied it back to my gratitude practices. And what sort of followed right after I really lent into my gratitude is that there was a death in my family. And we got the message and it was an elderly person. Like, you know, she had had a good innings as they say and it was yes, nonetheless still quite

sad. So we got the message at night Paul and I and we were sitting on the couch and we got the taxane, just so you know, Annie, Marlene passed away, blah, blah, blah. And we just sat there and we were talking about death. And this is something that in our Western culture, we don't do like we've really put death as this like, oh, it's never going to happen. We can't even bear to think

about it to talk about it. So it's kind of something that we shove away and we just expect that we're going to live forever and there is one thing that is a truth in this life and that is that every single one of us is going to die. We don't know when we don't know how but it is going to happen and we never think about it and to be honest I actually think that when we think about it, we all of a sudden have got such a zest for life. Because you know that your

time is limited. And you don't know how many days you're going to get, we assume that we've still got ages. But that's not always the case. And Paul and I were just sort of sitting on the couch. And we were talking about the fact that like, God, can you just imagine, right now what her daughter's going through? Can you imagine right now, like what her brother is going through? Like, can you just imagine and we were talking about the fact that, and I realised that this

sounds very morbid. And it's just that reminder also, that we can always hold two energies at once two emotions at once. And so, in this tragedy, and this pain, and this real like, sadness, it's also a reminder of how much love is in is in your life, like, I will never forget we anyway, we were talking about funerals. And we were talking about, like,

imagine what that is like. And then we've started saying to one another, like, it's crazy to think about, but one day, one of us is going to be at each other's funeral. And when Paul and I started talking about that, and like actually, sitting on that for a second, both of us were brought to tears. And in that moment, I was like, Oh, my God, like, yeah, come to think of it. And we were talking about like my granddad when my like, what he must have felt when he had to go to his wife's funeral

after 60 years of marriage. And he, like my grandparents have literally got the most beautiful love story. It's literally like the notebook the movie, I can barely watch that it makes me cry for fucking hours. But same thing, my Nana had Alzheimer's. And the last few years was

really rough. She started to not remember who any of us were, but my part was like there every single day dancing with her doing the world singing with her trying to make her remember, like waiting for those moments where she just had a sparkle in her eye. And it was like she just remembered for a second he lived for that. And I'll never forget, you know, he's this at her funeral. He was a broken man. And he willed He literally told us every day after that, that he just prayed to God every

day that he'd be taken away. And he was like, he basically died of a broken heart. And he died of the will to live without the love of his life. And we were talking about that Poland is insane. Like, isn't it like crazy, one of that will be one of us is probably if we're lucky. If we are lucky, we will be elderly at each other's funeral like, and that in itself made us like, I just jumped

across the couch. And I was just like, I want to be so present and so happy and so obsessed with you while I've got you. Because one day I won't. And that's just the truth. And that's the truth that everybody in my life that I adore and love. It's the that is the truth. And when I started to think about that, like not for too long by God, not for too long, because it would just make

me sad. But it also at the very same time makes me so fucking grateful for the love in my life and for the fact that like, I've got another opportunity today to ring people and be like, how are you? How is life what's going on, like, I've got another opportunity to wake up. And the simplest thing like, pour a coffee with Paul and walk into his room and pour him a

coffee. And then you know, have a kiss in the morning or talk about what we're what's our plans for the day, like the simplest things I know are the moments that I will always cherish. And from that perspective, like we really spoke about how grateful we are for this life and how much we should really just remind ourselves of that every single day. Like, we don't know, when our time is up, we don't know when our loved ones time is up. We don't know what cards we're

going to be dealt. But we do know that every day we wake up and we've been given the opportunity to be obsessed with this life and to like take it by the balls and squeeze every beautiful moment out of it and be completely present. Every time we do that. It's going to make our final days so much sweeter when we get to the end of our days and go fuck that was

a good life. And I lived and I loved and I did and I did all the things that mattered and I you know, like it's just that reminder to us that like the only thing that is a certainty in this life is that it is

temporary. We're only here for a short time it's like we blink and then you know our life on this planet is over and so let's just remind ourselves time and time again that it is so magical and so beautiful and and sometimes especially like I know that you listening to this the people that I attract that listen to this podcast, we are so like usually type A personalities very ambitious, very goal centred, very driven.

We're always looking forward we're always like, yes, this goal than this goal and this goal and it can get so easy to get tied up in like always looking forward and and forgetting to be in that present moment and like I'll be happy when I achieved this. I'll be happy when I get this client so This much income in my bank account or I'll be happy when this and it's like, awesome, cool, let's always have goals as

always aim and strive. But also, let's remind ourselves that this current moment right now is such a gift. And if we can tap into that energy of gratitude and overflow all of the time, while we're excited for where we're going, that is a magnificent energy. And honestly, like, after that night where Paul and I, you know, had that conversation, and that moment on the couch, I was just like, hot

fuck. And the next morning, when I woke up, I was just like, oh, come here, like, Camilla you like, I fucking love that I've got another day on this planet doing life with you. And I was like, Yes, I want to go talk to my clients. And I want to, I love this light. And I went to the beach, and I was just like, at the beach, nearly crying, because I have eyesight. And I

could see this beauty. And, you know, some people don't, some people are in a hospital bed, and they can't even do that, they, they can't even do that. And so there's a couple things here, it's just that reminder that we are we have really we really do if we choose to have opportunities to lean into how abundant and how grateful we can be. And I feel like the more simple you can make it like the small things, and I say this all the time. The small things are

the big things. The small things are the big things, whether that is like the moments you live for like a cuddle with your parents, or when your kids come and give you a hug in bed in the morning, or that fucking that kettle that you get that that sound you hear in the morning, when the kettle goes on, and you put your dressing gown on and you're like, Oh, look at the sunset over the window or whatever.

Like the simple things. And the more you can practice gratitude for the simple things, for your eyesight, for your sense of smell for the fact that you have you know, a heart that's feeding, for the fact that you're waking up in a family where there's so much love in your heart. That is the energy that really moves you through this beautiful life in a state of overflowing abundance. And when you live from that state, you truly do attract more of it.

And so I just wanted to remind, it's just a reminder today, essentially, that you've got one opportunity to make this life, you know, we're all going to die. And what are you going to look back on when you get to the end of your days when it is your last day on this planet? And when you have that life review or you will look looking back on your life? What are the moments that you are going to look back on and cherish? What are the moments in your life that

are going to matter? What are the things that you are going to think that was that brought me so much joy, I reckon I honestly would bet that a lot of those are just memories while you're being present with loved ones. And that's our reminder that we can do that right now. We can do that today. We can do that every

day. And I think it's a really nice reminder that we all need myself included, every now and then just to come back to basics and to take stock and to take a checklist and a stock list of all of the abundance that you have in your life. And from that place. Like I said, there is nothing you need, because everything that you could ever want is probably already here for you. And so that place is such a beautiful place to live by. And I think it's just a nice

reminder. And so whether or not you actually have like a gratitude practice, I know a lot of my clients, especially if it's a real mindset practice that is not natural, because maybe for a lot of us, like I said, we've been sort of conditioned to look for lack.

And if you're somebody who's like, yeah, I have a tendency to be a bit negative, or glasses half full or whatever, then absolutely do a gratitude practice, literally with your pen, and your journal, the first thing you wake up in the morning, list all of the things that you are already so grateful for. And when you go to bed, do

the same thing. What what happened in your day that just brought you so much joy and the more you're present, and the more you're looking for reasons to be grateful, the more you'll find it and the better it will feel. So either have a solid practice or when you're starting to feel stressed when you're starting to feel worried when you're starting to feel like you're not where you should be or it's not enough yet or you're frustrated, come back to really taking stock and thinking about

those things. And I don't know I found for me that that reminder too, that even in such pain, like you know I was talking about funerals and even in a funeral where your heart is broken or and this is just one example that I can sort of use but any instance where you are going through a really tough time or a rough patch. Everything is only ever been given to you as part of the equal opposite. It's called the

law of polarity. So you can only experience one depth with with comparison to its opposite and what that means is like at a funeral, for example, the pain and the heartache you feel is equally opposite to the love that was in your heart. And when I think of my grandparents, that funeral of my Nana's I just think My pops pain was directly proportionate to how much love was in his heart. And for that

I'm grateful for pain. Like, I actually can also be grateful for pain because it shows me how much love there was, I can be grateful for hard times, because it's only there to show me that good times are coming. And it's gonna be, it's gonna be because it's so hard that good is going to feel so much better. Or when I'm frustrated, I'm reminded of the fact that in this frustration, I know there is going to be such peace and

clarity on the other side. So again, it's that reminder that that gratitude is really a practice and gratitude is something that we can choose. It is an attitude that we can choose. Even when things are hard. Even when you're in pain. Even when you know things feel tough, we can still look for the light, we can still choose to look for something that is going to make us feel better. And wherever you are in your life.

At this moment, you are listening to a podcast, you have technology, you're listening to personal development, like you can already be so grateful that you've got a beautiful mind that can take in this information. And that podcast exists for you to expand yourself and that you've got your technology and you're maybe out walking, have a look around like we can choose to be grateful right now. And when we live our life through that lens, it gets to feel

really beautiful. And it gets to bring us even more abundance and joy. And so that's my quickie little podcast for today. I am sorry if it is a little bit of a morbid subject. I just know that for me. It provides so much more beauty in every single day when I come from that perspective. And so that is all for me today.

I hope you're having a beautiful day night, whatever it is, as you're listening to this, and it's nearly the end of April as I address so if you would like to leave a review on iTunes, I will be doing next week. My winner for the reviews for April and I will be picking somebody to do a free session a coaching session with me which I get so so so excited about so if you want to leave a review, we'd love to hear from you.
