Do you identify as a High-Achiever, or goal-oriented?

Are you always pushing yourself to get more things done and slaying your To-Do Lists?

And when things aren’t going as expected, do you feel frustrated or like you’re “not good enough”?

They say that life is not about the destination: it’s about the Journey.

But this aphorism poses a problem when we are taught to value being an Achiever in life and business.

Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the second of a 4-week series to Awaken your Shaman Within, and shift your focus from just doing more to being more!

"As soon as I complete a task, I feel like I have to jump to the next."

We are on week two of four exploring how to awaken your Shaman within in your business.

As a business Reiki master, I help others balance the energy, ground and clear the energy of themselves and their businesses to free up flow of cash and clients, as well as a greater quality of life in the process.

Your regular Reiki master's just working on your physical body, your emotional health, but for me I specialize in entrepreneurs and sending healing energy to your business.

This week in particular we're looking at the power of achieving versus journeying in business.

I don't know if you've done your strengths finder yet but if you haven't taken that assessment, I highly recommend it. It's extremely insightful for celebrating your strengths as the leader of your teams, as the leader of your business.

For me, one of my top five strengths is achiever. So, that means I'm really good at getting shift done. You and me both, aren't we the best at implementing and destroying the checklist and implementing systems. We get so much shift done.

That's why are such high achieving entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders. But then, the bigger the front, the bigger the back, as they say in ancient Chinese medicine.

So, where we're high at achieving, if we're not achieving, it's not going as expected or if it's not having the breakthrough, then what happens to our identity in the process? The great thing about Shamanism is it takes the perspective of honoring the journey especially in the practice of Shamanic journeying.

That whole experience of going through spaces and having sensory encounters with different people, different animals, different environments, all of that is significant. All of the entire journey, every step along the way is just as significant as the end. There is the old adage of it's not about the destination but it's actually life is about the journey that gets you there.

‪Know this:Achievers can get addicted to valuing quantity over quality of life and #business. Shift your #mindset to value quality first! 🙏

So this week in particular, you want to be on the lookout for your achiever popping up and really deleting all of the amazing juice that got you to the achievement. How many brilliant leaders have so many things that they've accomplished, and they've barely acknowledged that they've accomplished them before they're off to the next thing.

The flip side of that emotionally and, I don't know who I'm speaking to, but I could feel you watching through the camera right now, the flip side of that is that we end up feeling like we're never doing enough. We touched on that last week. We're never really feeling like we're fully connected or fully satisfied because we're on to the next, on to the next, on to the next.

So this week in particular, the Guides are asking you to adopt the journey-centric mindset as opposed to the achievement-centric mindset.

I know a lot of us tend to base our success off of the sense of how much can I get done, how many clients can I make, how many dollars can I win, how many connections can I make? If you're out networking, how many business cards can I grab, right?

Life is the journey that brings you to those achievements, and the more you can appreciate what you have, the more good you will attract. That is the way the universe works. I'm hearing the Oracle Cards calling in the energy. Earth Magic, let me come in closer for this part. Earth Magic by Steven D. Farmer, one of over 20-something decks that we have here at the Dojo. Always receiving donations and thank you for those of you who have sent in your decks or sent gifts. I love gifts, thank you.

Most of the stuff here has actually been gifts including this space, so thank you so much for all your support over the years. Guides, what do we need to know right now about having an achievement-centric mindset versus a journey-centric mindset?

Ooooh, this is so good. I'm getting a hot flash. You know I'm too young for that. Ocean, ebb and flow. Ebb and flow. This couldn't be better. I love it. I love it, I love it. Send me some love back if you just caught that energy wave. So good. What a brilliant way for us to leave off this week.

So, it's not to say that you will never achieve anything, and it's bad to be an achiever. No. I'm with you. That's one of my top five strengths. I have got to celebrate that and create a life that celebrates me being naturally wired to be a high-achieving individual and have a business that is high-achieving.

But at the same time, fulfillment in life and having a state of balance and enjoyment has got to involve ebb and flow. There's ocean upon ocean upon ocean of abundance out there for you to absolutely go get it.

There's no upper limit on pleasure and there's upper limit on wealth. You can have as much and you can create as much. There's no upper limit on creativity, as much as you desire, but it's important for you to find that balance between appreciating the journey and appreciating the achievement. That's your homework this week.

How can you in your business, or if you don't have a business, at your corporation, at your workplace, how can you create a balance between appreciation for the achievements that you've done, the things that you've finished or have moved along, as well as appreciate. You know what?

That was a really great conversation. That meeting was really beautiful. I appreciate how far we've come even though we haven't finished yet. I appreciate how you show up.

To all my leaders and managers, my executives out there, business owners, how are you appreciating the journey with your team? As well as, if you don't even have a team, within yourself?

Are you appreciating and present to all of the brilliance along the way?

With that in mind, we will see you next week. The universe agrees. We'll see you soon. Bye.

The post Love Letters | Achieving vs. Journeying – Part 2 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Feel like there's not enough You to go around? 

Stressed about a big upcoming event or project?

Worried that you're about to burn out?

You're a busy bee, high achiever and get-it-done task master -- awesome!

But what if you're better at working hard than playing hard?

Watch this week's 9-minute Love Letter video to start adding strategic self care into your busy schedule to increase productivity!

"I might look bored, but I don't feel that way!"

You have got something big brewing, I had to say maybe it's a launch date or maybe it's a date with somebody cute coming up, or maybe your kids have their first day of school or their awards ceremony, something big is coming.

Maybe it's the sale meeting on your house or on your business, something big, there's a big event coming up, right?

Source wants you to know the best way to prepare and to surround that experience in positive energy is through strategic self-care.

This is what it's about this week is specifically prioritizing your self-care strategically. Getting that ready for what's coming up for you.

Be kind to yourself, this is something new to you if you're feeling clearings as I'm talking about this because you, you my dear don't prioritize your self-care.

Maybe you have in spurts, maybe you've been working on it but you and I both, we have this conditioning around other people's care comes first, right?

Caring for others is priority versus our care being a priority.

But if you're looking to manifest something big or you're getting ready for an event maybe it's your wedding, or your big birthday coming up, it's important to strategically pad and plan for your self-care before, during, and after like strategize it because if you don't strategize it it's not going to happen. Right?

We'll have all of this frustration afterward of, "Oh my gosh, I worked so hard and now I have to go right on to the next thing. I don't have any transition coming out of that experience." 

Focusing strategic self-care, what does this look like?

How do we do it? For me and my business, every month I have SSD as my AB calls it, baileyfruman.com by the way, go check her out.

I have an SSD which is a strategic spa day every month at least to make sure that I'm creating space for clearing my personal energy as the mother goddess of the business, the owner of the dojo and the space, I have to clear my energy.

Then also, I give myself time at the spa and it's a spa day, it's like five, eight hours at the spa. We're putting in work there, right?

It's enough space to sit down in creative vision, reevaluate different things that are going on, making sure that I'm staying in tune to the heartbeat of my business and also where she's going in the future.

Every month I know my SSD is coming, right? Strategic self-care because I create space for working on the business versus in the business to make sure she continues growing but that's from a business owner's perspective.

Maybe it's your wedding coming up, how have you created space for relaxation and rest leading up to your big day?

Is it all go, go, go, got to get everybody's cards and the flower and the bubbles, like the dress color, is it all just go instead of rest and production, rest and production?

Know this: Prioritize your self care before, during and after your next big event.

I'm starting to hear the oracle card deck calling the energy.

One sec, it will get to you in a minute but the point for strategic self-care is to not only focus on output but look at your energy as more cyclical similar to nature, how there is the high times of production in spring and summer and then the quiet and restful times of fall and winter.

She goes in her cycles to perpetuate all of life.

You can do this on a month cycle because women's bodies do this one month cycle so we do this anyway. By the way, if you're a woman you should make time to honor your body during her cycle, just saying.

Men menstruate as well so periodically guys make sure that you give yourself time to release, go through the things that are bothering you and then just do something about it to release it out of your energy if it's run, workout, right?

Go for a good scream in your car with the windows closed by yourself. I have so many stories, you have no idea.

Anyway, back to the point, strategic self-care, whether it's on a monthly cycle, weekly, or even parts of the day as well.

Where is your strategic rest time? Do you give yourself meditation time at the beginning and in the middle as well as the end of your day? Are you just from the minute you hop out the bed you're going until you smash into the pillow at the end of the day?

Now, the oracle cards are screaming at me. I'm happy to bring them in. It's the earth magic oracle cards deck, it's our Shamanic deck here at the dojo. One of I think 19 counting so far book guides.

What do we need to know in particular about strategic self-care? What do you have to tell us?

This is good. This is good. This is good. This is good. Island, solitude.

Solitude.

Look at the reflection and that's what it's about, it's giving yourself space rather than being above ground and interacting and social and putting out but it's also to be below ground. Reflective, restorative, restful, reviewing, all the res, recycling, renewing, all the res, it's the output as well as the input. Time, right? Honoring that.

How can you schedule and I mean in the calendar, how can you schedule more strategic self-care so that you know it's in there?

By the way, it's so powerful. If you see in your calendar there are blocked out like black periods that say rest. Trust me, I know.

From somebody who's very super productive and a control enthusiast, right? I'm a get it done girl, absolutely.

It's so powerful to see that there's rest in my schedule.

Yeah, I can give, give, give, and I can rest as hardcore as I give. Is that you? Maybe it's not you. I don't know who I'm speaking to.

Maybe you need to share this video with someone else who really needs to hear this message because it's obviously not you.

Oh my gosh, send me an email back, comment below, let me know if this resonates with you. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your Love Letter first every week and I will see you next time. Bye.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | Strategic Self Care appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Frustrated that things have come to a standstill professionally?

Unsure if your business or even your life is really going somewhere or making an impact?

Worried that you have plateaued, and that you can't grow any more than you already have?

It's natural to feel resistance on the path to personal and spiritual expansion — you're only human!

More often than not, it is because we have forgotten why we started in the first place. That's why we have to find best video production in Miami FL.

Watch this week's 13-minute love letter video to revisit your why, and discover the hidden power that you forgot you had!

"I don't remember why I started this in the first place."

This week in particular, The Guides are asking you to revisit your big why. Your big why.

So, if you haven't seen the TedX talk by Simon Sinek, called Start With Why, I highly recommend that after this Love Letter video you go check him out. He's a fantastic resource on inspirational leadership.

He's someone that I admire very much and get a lot of energy from his wonderful, wonderful teachings and philosophies but basically, the gist of his talk is that how we motivate ourselves and people in life is by sharing and be attuned to why we do what we do. Not what, not how but why?

Now, your big why might be the why behind why you had kids or the why behind why you got married or the why behind you being in business or the why behind your in this company. The why you believe what you believe.

But, your big why is an energetic resource. It's an energetic resource in your life. We got to remember what it is in order to derive energy from it.

Admittedly, I don't have the perfect memory, right? But, you remember your phone number. You remember your address hopefully. But, if you don't remember why you're doing what you're doing right now in the first place, your center, where you ground, your alignment, your essential energy in your alignment is off. It's a bit crunched.

Know this: You remember your phone number & address, but do you remember WHY you're doing what you're doing?

That natural flow of juice, that creative inspirational juice that you get from being connected to your big why is pinched off from your lack of knowledge.

Maybe it's forgetting why you're doing what you're doing or you may not have even stated what your big why is in the first place. Maybe you genuinely don't know. It's not that you even forgot.

The title that The Guides asked for this Love Letter is revisit your why but I'm getting a vibe from who's watching right now, I don't know if this is you but you don't even know what your ... Why you're doing what you're doing. Why you're studying this in college or why you started your business other than, "I need money!" Right? Or, you don't even know why you really married the person. It's just like, "They asked and I was there and the priest and here we are 25 years later."

Going through the motions.

In a previous Love Letter we were talking about being intentional, which is really important. To set the stage that you're not just going through the motions in life but at this point in time, The Guides want you to revisit your why that can support you in being more intentional now.

It gives you a lot more energy and sauce, right? The juice. The juice, the fuel behind your decisions, behind how you speak and show up in life, behind your actions.

Want me to share with you my big why? Why I do what I do.

Here through the Dojo is because I believe that within every visionary leader is a creative being called the inner child who's the source of an unlimited amount of energy that one unleashed, can heal not only that person, herself/himself, but also all those who they come in contact with because they are a natural born leader.

Natural born leaders, I believe, are highly sensitive individuals. They're sensitized to things that other people just kind of don't pick up on. It's not that they're superior, they're just sensitive.

With that, I believe, that you as a visionary leader have got to heal your relationship with your inner child so that you can show up with that amount of energy, fully supported, abundant, and at ease as you get out there and serve the world in a bigger way.

What's behind all of what I do? Why I do what I do? The color, right? The shimmies, the rainbows and butterflies and jokes and silly pants ness. It's because I believe in making your inner child feel as safe as possible so that she can emerge from the traumatic shell that she went into because of whatever happened, she can emerge and unleash all of that inner power, that creative resource.

That flow, infinite flow of energy that you have inside of you. That is why I do what I do.

Simon very beautifully says that our big why often comes from our own pain and so, absolutely a big why comes from big pain. There's a thing that I witnessed in my childhood that caused me to forget from age eight back.

My life. It's like a dark cloud and so, since then, I've had to really explore what is identity? What is energy because I've always been naturally sensitive to people's emotions or a spiritual energy, food, sound.

I've always had this sensitized relationship to it. Why? Because my inner child is on super protective mode.

She doesn't want that scary thing to happen again so she's going to super sensitize me to all things around.

But, that has catapulted me to doing a deep dive, basically committing that for the rest of my life. I know I'm committed now, as much as I am since I first started, looking into what is energy? What is identity? What is psychology?

Learning more about philosophy and spiritual reality and how that effects each present moment so that I can show up as the best self that I can. The more I dove into healing my inner child, the more energy I had to show up in the world.

I don't know who I'll be in five, 10, 20 years from now but this was built intentionally over time. I didn't come out of the womb shimming.

The story goes when I came out of the womb I was over eight pounds. I was a big pink ball and they actually almost killed me that day to save my mother. That's another story but anyway.

Revisit your big why. Your big why often comes from a traumatic experience.

It doesn't mean that someone tried to kill you or you forgot your childhood or you got sexually assaulted or something like that. Your trauma might be the loss of face or humiliation in school or your family became wealthy but lost it all.

It could have been something that you saw, it didn't even happen to you but it was such an intense thing that you witnessed that it effected you irrevocably for the rest of your life.

Be kind to yourself because the inner child, she sits on this unlimited power called your vulnerability and creativity. Once that's unleashed, you have every resource at your fingertips but that's big magic.

Spooky scary if you're not used to being vulnerable. I'm starting to hear the oracle cards calling the energy around that but revisit your why.

Why did you start your business in the first place? From one business owner to another, why? What are you doing? Why are you doing what you're doing right now?

Why'd you buy your house in that area for the first place? Why did you buy that outfit? Why did you marry this person? Why did you pick this person to date? Why did you go to this school? Revisit your why.

Oracle cards deck is the indigo angel oracle cards. This is specifically designed for empathic, highly sensitive individuals who, because of their sensitivity, are being primed for leadership.

I don't think that's how Doreen Virtue puts it but, this is how The Guides tell me about being indigo and that's her term for being highly sensitive, is indigo, as a vibrational color, your chakra system.

Angels, what do we need to know right now about revisiting our why? Look through the situation.

Look through the situation. Now, I appreciate this. How she's gathering flowers. She's hard at work, got her bag on her back with the flowers that she's gathering. She's focused.

My Guides are saying, "In order for you to revisit your why, you've got to take your head up out of the details and look past what you're doing right now."

Your why is not going to be in the doing ness. It's not going to be in the actions. It's a feeling and it's a big vision task so, you've got to step back this week in particular so that you can revisit your why. Recapture that energy and unleash your inner child so that you can get out there and serve and heal in a big way.

I believe in you and I'm here to support you. That's why I do what I do. That's why I specialize in it. I want to hear your why. Comment below or send me an email, SenseiVictoriaWhitfield@gmail.com.

I want to hear, what's your big why? What did you forget? Did you forget it? Was this for you?

Is this your periodic alarm clock go, "Ding, ding, ding. What's your why?" Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your Love Letters first every week.

All right, and you're ready for it. Mwuah. Bye. See you soon.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Is procrastination your middle name?

Avoiding something very important because you're scared of confronting it?

Feeling insecure about a certain part of your body?

Source is sending you a wave of confidence and productivity right now.

It's time to step up and take responsibility for shifting your energy - no more waiting to be saved!

Watch this week's 10-minute Love Letter video to start taking ownership of yourself and your life!

"Why didn't I follow my gut feelings?"

This week in particular, Source is saying it's time for you to own it. Own it.

Whatever's coming up, when we say own it, it's time for you to take ownership.

This is about taking personal responsibility, about claiming and really accepting into you something that you may have been hiding, avoiding, or when it comes up, you push it to the side. Especially, the guides say, own your natural intuition.

What does that mean? What that means is develop, accept and cultivate your relationship with your natural intuition. Learn about her. Practice using her. Own it.

Don't dabble here and there or believe but then if someone asks kind of couch away or cower away from it. No, no, no. Own it.

You know, you know that that was the right decision for you and when you didn't make it you're kicking yourself in the face like: 

• • "I knew that I should have done this."

• • "Why didn't I follow my gut feelings?"

• • "Why didn't I follow my intuition?"

• "Why didn't I see the signs, or moreover, why didn't I accept the signs that I did see?"

This is a little bit of tough love, but it's because I believe in you. We believe in you here at the tribe at the dojo. Source is behind you always. Own it this week.

It's not just your natural intuitive sense, which by the way, which everyone has. I don't care how un-spiritual people want to say others are or how people want to say that they are. "I'm not into that woo woo stuff." Yeah, okay. You get hunches as if that is an intuition. I'm going to leave that there because I can go on a whole rant and we want to keep this to a reasonable amount of time, but it's time that you own it.

It's not just your natural intuition though. It may be that you messed up and because we are taught perform and perform at a high A level, right? A for awesome. Always get As. There's no other letters in the alphabet because there's only A.

We're taught to perform at a high level, and A means not just awesome, but acceptable. If you don't do an A performance or produce an A level product, then you're not acceptable. Own it.

If you have an ear that's out to the side or a chipped tooth or a gap in your teeth, right, or you have a mole or you know, a little bit of extra juice in your shape, own it. Rather than punishing, punishing, ignoring, down playing, hiding. Own it.

I myself, I used to have a lot of self-consciousness about the gap in my teeth, especially because from time to time it makes me whistle unexpectedly, but I wouldn't smile because I was so shy to do it. Right? To show that oh, I don't have perfect teeth. No, I've never had braces. It took a dentist who has a bit more of a spiritual mindset to say, "No, Victoria, your teeth come together so beautifully. God created them so beautifully. No, you don't need braces." For him to be so passionate about the natural shape of my smile, for me to say, "Wait a minute, maybe I don't have hideous teeth. Maybe it's okay for me to have a gap in my teeth." Then one of my aunt's just flat out said, "You know it's sexy. Madonna has a gap in her teeth."

Know this: Own your imperfections - they make you unique and give you depth!

Own your imperfections. Don't let them slow you down. In fact, the mistakes of our lives and the imperfections that we have and have to deal with not only color our lives and make you unique, but it also gives us depth.

If you have been able to make a mistake and come out on the other side of it, that means you have a depth of wisdom. You've gone another level knowing what not to do. You have a new depth of wisdom that wasn't there before. Accept, integrate, and own that wisdom.

Own the fact that it happened and that you can own this present moment being the best version of yourself, the highest vibrational version of yourself, the most present moment of yourself. Don't let it weight you down.

I'm hearing the Oracle Cards calling the energy. The deck this week in particular is life purpose oracle cards deck, so the angels are showing up more of our sense of direction as well as giving us inspiration if we feel a little bit stuck and crusty energetically.

Angels, what do we need to know right now about owning it? Is there something that we're not owning about our brilliance that maybe you could tell us? Oh my. Children.

Oh my goodness. Your life purpose involves helping, teaching, and healing children. This ... I'm being guided to speak to someone very much so in particular.

I won't say your name, but the guides are telling me you're going to watch this love letter when it airs or whenever you click on it. You know that you're supposed to be working with children, but you think because I don't have my masters of education with kids or because I don't have kids of my own or because my kids are a certain age, you have this story.

I really don't know who I'm talking to, but I'm going to stay specific. The guides are telling me to do so. I'm getting really warm right now.

You have a story that you keep telling yourself to avoid the fact that you are supposed to be working with children. Maybe you're afraid of what they may do.

Kids can smack you in the face or say the most rude things, or even simply by them being children can bring up scary parts of our own childhood. It's time for you to own it. This week in particular.

It may not be like, "Oh, I'm going to take that job working with kids or start that part of my business giving back to kids" or something like that. It may be just this week really journaling and saying, "You know what, I've been avoiding this about working with children and it's time for me to own that."

The minute you're aware of it, it starts to heal, but especially if you're called to work with children but you're having a fear around it, thinking that. Or telling yourself a story that you're not good enough, the guides are saying you need to reach out and get help with that.

Whether it's working on your energy here at the dojo to raise your vibration open enough to share with children and cultivate that vision that you see or if it's going to a therapist and really a psychotherapist, so you can process what aspects of your childhood are coming up for you when you see children.

You really have to own it this week in particular. It's time to take action.

Send me an email back. Comment below. Tell me what's coming up for you. I'm curious to hear, who out there am I talking to? Was it you?

You don't have to say what your situation is if it's quite private, but just give me a post below and say, "You're talking to me." I get those all the time and I love to see who source had be channel to in particular. I never know. I never know unless you tell me.

Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letter first and share this with someone. All right, I'm sending you so much love and blessings and you ready for it? I'll see you next week

 In Love and Light,

Victoria.
