<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Scared to stand out and take up space?<br />
</em></span></h2>
<h2>Shrinking yourself physically or emotionally to make others comfortable, or even for fear of being seen?</h2>
<h2>Do you tend to "keep your mouth shut" around others, rather than speaking your mind openly?</h2>
<p>Our bodies are mirrors of our emotional health and mindset.</p>
<p>So if you live with chronic tightness, aches and pains, that's actually a physical manifestation of limiting beliefs you have about yourself.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 11-minute love letter video, the final installment of our 5-week series on living life unapologetically, to release all restriction and boldly take up space in life and business!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-4805"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"I don't trust myself to be able to get my point across."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So this is week five of five in our deep dive into living life unapologetically. Yeah. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">This has been a powerful, powerful series of living fully, right? And embracing our brilliance, living as if, as we discussed last week, we're already worthy, right? </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">There's nothing additional that needs to be done. We're worthy now. If you missed that, go back on YouTube, check it out. Watch that video.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> This week, the spirit guides have said our topic is taking up space. Take up space. Do this with me. Spread your arms out. Open your chest. Breathe deep and exhale. Take up space, right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Are you someone, if you are blessed vertically, if you're tall, do you tend to hunch, or stand with a slouch so that you appear shorter? Are you someone who feels a bit insecure about speaking up, so instead, rather than waste people's time, or be annoying and take up space, you tend to hurry yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Do you hurry yourself when you're speaking, or not even express anything? In your home, by the way, is there no space for you, or is all your stuff crammed into the corner or shoved into a drawer? Are you afraid to really spread out so that you can be creative and expressive?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Right? No, that's not for you. That's for the kids. You're not allowed, right?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If that's you, be kind to yourself. Just because other people take up space doesn't mean that you are not allowed to. There's enough space for all of us. That's a tweetable, as Marie Forleo would say. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Know this, there's enough space for all of us. You are enough. The world is enough. There's enough time for all of us. Be kind to yourself.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/y4gdf">‪Know this: There's enough space for all of us. Just because other people take up space, doesn't mean that you're not allowed to. Take up space, #unapologetically!</a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/y4gdf"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64" /></a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> If you carry shame, right? Do you carry that shame around all ... You know, <em>"I have something to say, but you know, everybody has something to say, and I don't really trust myself to get my point across, so instead of being articulate, and expressing openly, I'll be quiet, and watch everyone else try and fail, but at least, you know, I didn't try, so I didn't fail."</em> I'm giving you a big hug if this is you. I know this is tough. Oh my goodness. Take up space.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> But this week in particular, the guides are showing images of you decompressing your body. Stretch. Go ahead. Stand up, like right now. Stand up. Get up, get up, and reach over your head, tickle the ceiling, wherever you are, tickle it and just radiate your light in all directions.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Allow your hips to roll open. Stretch your jaw, right? Your eyes, stretch your eyes. Yeah. Roll your shoulders. Roll them open. Do freestyle, whatever you need to do to open up any tightness in your body. Take up space.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Be kind to yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>If you're afraid of taking up space in conversation, or even with your marketing, for example, to all my entrepreneurs and business owners, if you're uncomfortable being visible, and commanding attention, start with your body. Let's be clear. We're going to start internally. The healing starts with you.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You don't have to worry about anybody else, but instead, open your body first. Decompress, right? I can't show you this on camera, but if you were to hang over your knees and let your head be pulled down by gravity, you could even decompress your spine. So important.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> So, it's essential for you, in living life unapologetically, to not be so compressed all the time. This is an apology for being in the same space as everyone else, and this is affirming that there's not enough space for you. Trust me, the universe is big enough to handle you. In all your imperfections and all your awesomeness, the universe is big enough.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Come out and play. Make it open, and even if it's a bit messy, whatever, right? Be kind to yourself. You don't have to do it perfectly. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> So take up space, and stretch especially. Stretch open your body. Imagine, by the way, as you stretch your body, filling the space with your energy, as if you were shining light and radiating light into the entire room, into the entire building, out into the town, out into the state, around the country, and out into the world, right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Radiate that permission to take up space. Do it for your brothers and sisters who are in extreme poverty, right? Who are oppressed, and depressed, and repressed. Open your body on behalf of our tribe, on behalf of our tribe. Take up space. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> I'm hearing the Oracle Cards calling the energy this week, again is our last with the daily guidance from the Angels, another Oracle Cards deck, one of the many that have been donated here at the dojo, always accepting donations. Okay, Angels. What do we need to know right now, about taking up space? Cupid. Beautiful. Aw, there's so much love in this card, Cupid. Oh, the heart bubble. So sweet.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><em><span class="s1"> "We send great waves of love into your heart and mind, awakening your love for life itself. Your clear decision to accept and enjoy romance has triggered this awakening. Allow yourself to spontaneously celebrate love in all of its glorious aspects."</span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> So, my guides are telling me ... This Angel card has come forward in particular, for you to welcome love into your life. Yes, romantic love. Yes, physical love. Yes, emotional love. Yes, love. Opening up to receive more love in your life starts with you being open and decompressed, right? Take up space.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Give yourself permission to say, <em>"Hi. What's your name?"</em> To all of my single people out there, take up space, get yourself a ... like, you know, a seat at the coffee shop and type on your laptop conspicuously. Take up space, and if you are married, or with a partner, your lover, take up space with them. Like, <em>"I desire to be with you,"</em> or <em>"I'm going to be in your space because I love you,"</em> yeah? Take up emotional space. You can say what you need and you can express yourself. This is your permission. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> This week in particular, take up space. How are you going to do it, right? Are you just going to start with the physical stretching more, and making sure that your body physically is open and lubricated, or are you also going to take it the emotional and social level? Are you going to take up space in your relationships and interactions?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Comment below on YouTube, on Facebook, send me an email back, right? I want to hear it. How are you taking up space. I love love and I love love letters, so send me a mail. Send me a love letter in the mail. I just got one. Yay! Thanks, Johanna. Hers is right there, that white piece of paper, pink writing. So beautiful. Thank you, goddess.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> And, make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week, all right? Live life unapologetically.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We'll see you next time. Bye.</span></p>

<h2><em>What comfort food is your guilty pleasure?</em><span style="color: #800080;"><em><br />
</em></span></h2>
<p><em>Do you have certain foods that you can’t help yourself around?<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>When you feel sad, stressed or anxious, do you crave certain unhealthy foods to distract you from the discomfort?<br />
</em></p>
<p>Many of us - in first-world countries - stuff ourselves with food to hide from uncomfortable and negative emotions.</p>
<p>And entrepreneurs in particular tend to eat emotionally to crowd out the feelings of stress and overwhelm they endure keeping up with increasing and erratic amounts of work.</p>
<p>Watch this week's love letter on Food Self-Sabotage, which is part 2 of our 5-week deep dive series on self-care versus self-sabotage.<span style="color: #008080;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-3869"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><b>"When I'm anxious, I know eat food that's not good for me."</b></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This week is week two of five. Our five week deep dive into that interplay between self care and self sabotage. That we dance. We dance across that line as empaths every single day. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Source has really pushed me to raise awareness around this because you have got to shine your light better. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Brighter, bigger, we need you, baby. So whatever it takes, we're gonna raise awareness, where you may be standing between you and your light shining at it's brightest and we just wanna honor that. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Not to make you feel wrong or beat yourself over the head for doing things that way, but instead just honoring that, that's coming up.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> This week in particular, for week two out of five, the guides have requested us to talk about food. Oh man. Food, food and emotional stuffing. Alright, let's go there.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> What kinds of foods do you eat? When you experience the feelings that are like the following. The following feelings of anxiety, worry, emptiness, boredom, anger, grief. </span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As I even just say those words, what kind of foods does your body want to ... You start getting cravings for. Is it for another diet soda? Is it for potato chips? Is it for cookies and chocolates and ... Or could it be for cheeseburgers just fill me to the brim, right? Or pizza? All of these stuffing foods versus fuel and clarity foods.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now, a lot of my private clients, there's certain point in our sessions where we come to this one philosophy that I've said I don't know how many times, but there's two kinds of people in the world. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">There's two kinds of people. You could tell by what's driving them. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">People who desire clarity, and people who desire comfort. See where I'm going with this? Food. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> People who desire clarity, they're going to confront the issue because they just want to clear the air, they're gonna take personal responsibility because that's empowering and it fosters more clarity. It spreads light. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">They're going to take a stand and voice their opinion because we're looking for clarity. They're searching for truth. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> But people who are desiring comfort are going to blame. It's easier to place blame on others or other events or things that happen in the past or imagines situations. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>We're gonna place blame if we want comfort. We're going to feel more tired, we're gonna wanna rest more, we're gonna complain.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Whatever we can do to shirk responsibility and hot potato that off of us. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We're not going to express our opinion or rock the boat because if you rock the boat you'll get spanked. That's what happened in my childhood. So maybe that happened to you, or maybe you'll get denied love. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">What did you learn in your childhood when you were really vocal? Were you acknowledged and held or were you punished?</span></p>
<h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week:</strong></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/28wcR"><strong><span class="s1">Know this: Most people's behaviors are motivated by a desire for Clarity or Comfort. You can tell by what’s on their plate.</span></strong></a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/28wcR"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64" /></a></h2>

<a href="https://www.paypal.me/victoriawhitfield"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6037 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button_leave-a-love-donation.png" alt="" width="295" height="40" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This affects our emotional relationship with food because food essentially represents nourishment for our bodies. How you nourish yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Do you nourish yourself for comfort, or do you nourish yourself for clarity? What types of foods are you craving? Maybe even right now.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Be kind to yourself. This is not a beat yourself up question, this is simply an awareness question. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">What types of foods do you eat or especially reach for when you're under extra stress? Or you're feeling anxiety? Or you're feeling worried? Or you're lover or the person that you love is not acknowledging you, or acknowledging your feelings? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Or the government is not acknowledging your emotions and your feelings? What do you consume? What do you nourish yourself with? Is it food that increases your clarity or increases your comfort?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Now, be kind to yourself because if it's increasing just your comfort and not your clarity, if you're falling asleep after eating something, that's a sign that you're clarity is not increasing.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You're actually taxing yourself. That's called emotional stuffing. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We're stuffing down the feelings of emptiness in particular, such as loneliness, worry, fear, anxiety, anger. That hole, we're trying to stuff the hole full.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So many empaths do this. So you're not alone, I've done this. Remember my previous video, I lived on Twix. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Talk about stuffing, that stuff probably made out of sugar and cardboard. Who knows? Maybe some corn syrup thrown in for good measure, maybe for a little bit of nutrition. Terrible. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">No wonder my body at the time was horridly inflamed, and constipated, and tight, and in pain. That's years in the past now. Thank God. But be kind to yourself if you're stuffing. You're emotionally stuffing. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The alternative would be instead to eat foods that cleanse you or increase your clarity. Last month, we talked about going on a cleanse and honoring that as a form of grounding, to clear your energetic system. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Do you drink water filled foods such as foods that require the sun in order for them to be created? Fill in the blank. I don't need to know what comes up for you around foods that require the sun in order to be created and foods that are filled with water. Use your thinking cap.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> What comes up for you around that? But the alternative would be to have food that comes into your body with more photons, more nutrients, dense with light energy so you can shine brighter rather than stuff down.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now, the oracle cards that are coming forward, this week in particular, are the romance angels. I don't know if this is backwards on camera. But this is ... Now I think we have 20 decks, 20 or 21. I just got another donation of a deck. Thank you. Thank you Paula. Yay. So good. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you want to donate to the dojo, we are always open to receiving more decks because the tribe, the whole tribe uses all the different oracle cards that we have here. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Romance angels, emotional food stuffing. Most notorious of all. We need to know about our relationship with food and love. New love. Oh my, new love.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> A new person has stirred your romantic feelings. What are you gonna do with that? There's so many things that can stimulate desire and many of the ways that we shame ourselves, self sabotage, being receptive to desire and new affection. </span><span class="s1">A new stimulation is we stuff it down. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><em>"Nope, I am not lovable, let me eat that cake. Let me eat that Smarties. Let me stuff that down."</em> Be kind to yourself if that's what's coming up for you.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> If you're afraid of rejection or even afraid of being seen, to all my entrepreneurs out there. How much do we eat to stuff down our visibility, our fear of being seen? Be kind to yourself if that's coming up for you.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So how can we begin eating foods that increase our clarity as oppose to just our comfort? Comment below, send me an email back. Let me know what's coming up for you, what foods are you craving? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> By the way, let me see if I can pull this book out here. Doreen Virtue has a book that changed my life, The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> In here, she actually has a chart of what food means what emotionally. For example, craving chocolate is a desire for romance and love. Craving beer is the desire to shut out anxiety, wanting more love, fun, and appreciation. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You can deepen your healing journey by getting and reading this book, specifically in your relationship between self sabotage and <em>"self care,"</em> the dark side of self care in our relationship with food.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Curious to hear if you're gonna get the book. Let me know what you think of it if you have read it. Did this book change your life too? It sure did mine. Alright. I will see you next week for week three of five and get ready for it. Bye.</span></p>

<h2>This is week two of four in our exploration around being an empath entrepreneur.</h2>
<p>What's at stake? What's it like? Let's own it. Let's talk this through. If this is your first exposure to me, I would highly recommend you go back on my blog at victoriawhitfield.com and make sure that you start from week one, part one in this four-part series.</p>
<p><strong>Without further ado, last week, we discussed what are some of the pitfalls and the challenges illuminating that of being an empath entrepreneur, so this week, we're going to talk about why this makes you a freaking superhero. </strong>Let's talk about it. Yeah, it's clear that there are things that are extra-challenging about being an empath. You are an emotional sponge, just to summarize. Whether or not you ask for it, you're soaking up what's going on in other people's emotional bodies.</p>
<p>Meaning, if they are feeling angry, or sad, or overwhelmed, or anxious, you're absorbing that without asking. You're just sponging it up into you, and you're also soaking up what's going on in people's physical bodies as well. If they have ache in their head or in their shoulder, or pain in their gut or jaw, so on and so forth, you feel that as well. When you're talking to them, you're thinking, "Ugh, why does my head hurt all of a sudden now that I'm in this space / now that I've walked into this new home?” For all my realtors out there, how many of you have walked into this new space, and thought, "Ugh, why am I getting all this back pain all of a sudden? I'm fine. I never had anything wrong with me before." Right? This is what happens when you're empathic. You soak up the emotional or physical energy of an environment.</p>
<p><strong>But here's the thing: being an empath is not a curse. Absolutely not. </strong>It is a freaking advantage when you know how to work it properly. And here's why: Empaths are superior communicators. Superior as in like supercharged, superhuman communicators. So anyone who's watching right now, if you are a manager or a coach of any kind or a teacher of any kind, and you are empathic, that means that the people who you serve, those that are under you feel extra-heard, understood, seen, held, and honored by you. You more often than not happen to be the best boss that they have ever had or the best manager that they have ever had, the best coach that they have ever had because they usually say to you, "You get me like nobody else gets me. I don't know why I end up telling you way more or entrusting you with way more information or things about myself than other people. For some reason, you get me, and I feel so connected to you."</p>
<p>For those of you who are empaths and that serve others, you are super communicators and super connectors because of your empathic sense. You communicate with another person's energy. You pick up on what has been left unsaid. I want to tell you a brief story of when I was working with one of my private clients - she owns a bed and breakfast. She is incredibly brilliant, champions feminism and has had a long history of women’s sexual health advocacy, and she's just a freaking rock star. She's an earth angel. At the same time, she's so frustrated with me on our call because she's saying, "Victoria, I don't ... I can't get over how much I'm absorbing from people. I keep getting the feeling like I'm doing something wrong."</p>
<p><strong>Remember last week when we spoke about that same feeling? </strong>How sometimes if you're an empath business owner or an empath professional, you feel like there's something wrong with you to the point that you're in the wrong vocation, no matter how much passion you have for it? She was at that state, and my guides sent me a vision for her because she was just so frustrated with being overwhelmed as an empath.<br />
Sound familiar? Maybe this has been your situation, but the vision that my guides sent to me for her, and now I'm going to share with you, is this: they sent me a vision of, if you would remember, 9/11 where the Twin Towers fell. All of the rubble. So many lives lost, but at the same time, right after the towers fell, after the dust for the most part cleared, there was this whole other level of rescue missions that had to happen because people weren't all dead. They were trapped underneath the rubble.</p>
<p><strong>So, picture this with me: all this concrete... huge piles of broken concrete, and twisted metal, and whatnot.</strong> Underneath the rubble, there are people who are praying to God, "Somebody come find me, please," or shouting, but their voices beneath all of that are just completely muffled to human ears. The real heroes - other than the courageous firefighters and our awesome first-responders, police workers, and volunteers, all humans out there searching - the unsung heroes of recovering people and finding them who've been trapped beneath the rubble of the Twin Towers were actually the rescue dogs. My guides are showing me these dogs who are going through all of the rubble, hearing the sounds of the screams from stories down or smelling the sense of bodies of people who are still alive, but don't even have the strength to make a sound and cry out for help. They can hear beneath the rubble. I'm getting the chills as I say this to you right now.<br />

<h2><strong>Click to share the Tweet of the Week: </strong></h2>
<h2><a href="https://ctt.ac/bZSwy"><strong>Know this: Reclaim and activate your power now by chanting: "I embrace my empathic superpower. I can hear people beneath the rubble of their lives." Own it! #empowerment #entrepreneur #positivevibesonly @SenseiWhitfield</strong></a></h2>

<span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p>
<p><strong>As an empath, you can hear those who are crying out for help, silently crying out, who are in deep need, and they are trapped beneath the rubble of their lives.</strong> Perhaps, they have no voice left, but you can hear them because you have that empathic sense, just like a canine has super smell and super hearing - and animals are also empathic, by the way. Let's throw that in there.</p>
<p>The same way that they're able to hear, and dig, and start clawing through until they get down to that person that they could feel the energy of and bring them, pull them back up from the darkness, out of being trapped, into the light, that is what you have been equipped to do in this lifetime. That is why being empathic is a freaking superpower. Can you feel it? Type it below. Enter it in the comments below, "I embrace my empathic superpower. I can hear people beneath the rubble of their lives." Own it!</p>
<p><strong>For some people, they're buried in so much grief or so much shame that they're not comfortable enough, or don't have enough energy, or just don't give themselves enough time or permission to reach out and to start that healing process, </strong>or start that transformational process, but because you as an empath can hear what's going on beneath the surface, you're able to pull them up from the darkness and back into the light like none other. That's why they say, "You get me like none other." That's why they say, "Ah, I can entrust you with so much more," because they know you can hear them.</p>
<p>With that being said, I'm going to take it to the Oracle cards for the week. We're using the Archangel Michael Doreen Virtue Oracle cards deck. We are journeying with this deck all month. Alrighty. Such a powerful message this week. Isn't it good? Tell me, tell me. Is it good? Yeah! All right, angels. What do we need to know right now? Archangel Michael, what do we need to know right now about stepping into and owning our superpower as empath entrepreneurs and empathic professionals? I feel this one. Oh my goddess! I got a little bit of Déjà vu here. <em>Sense of humor. </em></p>
<p><em>Sense of humor. "My prayer, thank you for helping me see the humor in this situation so I can lovingly laugh at human nature. I am willing to view my experience in a new light in order to attract love and healing energy."</em> I love it. I love it. I love it! Brought you all the way down deep into your soul with that channeled message, and the angels are like, "Bring it back up. Turn it on!" One of the ways that empaths call people out of the darkness and into the light is actually through having a great sense of humor, being able to find the laughter in that incredibly oppressive and heavy situation.</p>
<p><strong>Laughter is the best medicine.</strong> It is said that shamans, true shamans will keep you laughing the whole time while you are working with them and going through the healing process. The best coaches know how to keep their clients or their audiences giggling their way through their transformation, right? Being able to move through our pain with ease and joy. And the best mothers know that when their kids get a boo-boo, it's time to have them laugh their way through it so that they feel better and recover the energy that they think they may have been lost by getting hurt in the first place.</p>
<p>Is this vibrating with you? Are you feeling aligned with calling on your sense of humor about your empathic sense so that you can claim that power, the power that has always been yours by birthright? Comment below or send me an email back at team@victoriawhitfield.com, or if you need help connecting to your sense of humor about it because you've been in a state of overwhelm for too long, YOU might be the one who's beneath the rubble in your life right now. Make sure that you reach out so that we can book a session and talk about how I can best support you and glowing as you grow your business, so I'll see you next time.</p>
<p><strong>May you feel loved and safe at work, and please: Enjoy the journey. </strong></p>
<p>Bye for now!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p>
<h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2>
<h3>Choose to embrace your empathic sense as your superpower at work.</h3>
<h3>Activate your superpower and spread positive energy with laughter and deep listening as you work with others.</h3>
<h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3>

<h2><strong>This is a new series and my guides have shown me that we are going to be talking about what is it like to be an empath entrepreneur: an entrepreneur that happens to be highly empathic, or someone who is highly empathic, who happens to be an entrepreneur.</strong></h2>
<p>Over the next four weeks we're going to be journeying on this topic. And this week in particular, my guides asked us to shed some light on what are the unique challenges of being an empath and owning a business, being empathic and leading your team at your office. For those of us who are called to serve in a professional status of some sort, whether you are the manager of your shift or your office, whether you are the owner of your business or you are just getting started serving more clients as an entrepreneur, or even in the prelaunch stage – regardless of your current status, you are called to serve at a greater level. If that's you, then this one is to support you in particular. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your first notification every week of when these new love letters come out. Let's get to it. The pitfalls of being an empath entrepreneur.</p>
<p><strong>If you've never really heard of the term being empathic, let me break it down for you really quick. </strong>It is not the same as being empathetic. When you have empathy for others, this is a choice that you make to see yourself walking in somebody else's shoes. That's a compassionate mental move that you make to better communicate with others around you, and that's awesome.</p>
<p>However, being empathic removes your choice. This is where whether you want to or not, you feel what it's like to be in another person's emotions or to be in another person's physical body. You can feel the pain sensations that are going through somebody's body while you're interacting with them, or even if they're far away. That's being empathic. You can also feel emotionally when someone may be suppressing or hiding more intense emotion such as anger or great big joy, as if they're sitting on it, hiding it underneath a performance of a different, more acceptable emotion. You may pick up on that, or even in a space where someone passed away and they're not even physically there anymore, but you are able to sense the sadness or sense the happiness in their home. That is a sign that you are empathic.</p>
<p><strong>Now, for those of you who already know that you're empathic, it can be super challenging. </strong>Because you are an emotional sponge. And as an emotional sponge, this is extra tough if you work in retail, or you have to handle a high volume of people physically coming to you. Maybe if you work at a stadium, serving crowds or you work at a storefront serving walk-ins. Your job requires you serve whoever walks in; maybe as a salon owner, you don't know who's the next person that's going to walk in to want a haircut. Or as an artist. Who's the next person who is going to come around and take a look at your art and want to give you a commission. Especially in those types of vocations, you don't really know who you're going to get – being a massage therapist is another one.</p>
<p>Be kind to yourself because you, more than ever, have got to learn about how to protect your energy, as an empath entrepreneur, as a professional who happens to be empathic.Why? Because you're an emotional sponge. So, shall we take a look at what can happen when you’re like this? By the way, comment below or send me an email back at <a href="mailto:team@VictoriaWhitfield.com">team@VictoriaWhitfield.com</a> of your Empath Entrepreneur experiences. Ok?</p>
<p><strong>See if some of the following challenges describe your previous situations. </strong>Maybe you've come in, you're juiced, you're ready to go, happy for the work day and a client, customer or prospect comes in and just derails all that good energy and sucks the life out of you. Have you ever had that? Those vampire clients and customers? Oh Man. Other pitfalls of being an empath and a professional person, or a business owner who's an empath is that you have so much love and so much passion for what you do, but unfortunately because of the emotions, the crappy emotions of the people that you work with, whether they're on your team or your clients, it just sucks the life out of you.</p>
<p>Perhaps you're at that point where you're feeling, “is this really what I should be even doing with my life? In the beginning it was so great, but now the people are just vultures.” Oh my goodness. Be kind to yourself, again if that's your situation. Other pitfalls of being an empath entrepreneur is that where some people are able to get so much done in a day and just be able to maintain their focus and, wow, smash through their goals, breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough... for some reason, something about the environment that you're sitting in or something about the people that you're interacting with just completely sucks the energy and the focus, the productivity out of you.<br />

<p><strong>Maybe it's your loved ones who derail you if you work at home, for example. </strong>This is another really tough situation that we're going to talk about over the next four weeks. Maybe your home life is not that supportive, and as you are still absorbing all of the frustration of your spouse and the anxiety of your kids into your body, you still have got to be on that client call. If you're a marketing coach or you're a life coach that does video coaching, you've got to be ready to be supportive while your energy is all funked up. As an empath entrepreneur, you sponged up, soaked up so much negativity, anxiety, anger, frustration from your environment that it's affecting your ability to perform at work. If any of that speaks to you, please stay tuned. Subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first, and if it's bringing anyone to mind, make sure you hit that Share button and say, "you had better subscribed to this because she's talking to you, baby!"</p>
<p>Let's get to the oracle card of the week. We're going to be journeying with all month with Doreen Virtue's, Archangel Michael Oracle Cards deck, because Archangel Michael is a wonderful archetype for protection and covering. We have got to make sure that your energy feels nourished as you get out there and serve in a big way. You're called to it and you deserve to feel safe and sound and full of life and energy no matter who or what you are called to serve.</p>
<p><strong>Okay, Angels, what do we as empath entrepreneurs need to know right now, especially when we're dealing with the challenges, the frustrations of being an empathic person who happens to own a business or who is a professional serving others? </strong>Whoa... We've got some pretty serious energy going here. What do we need to know? This card on top – hey! This is where we'll leave off for the week: <em>Lean on God and the angels for support. </em></p>
<p><em>“Lean on God and the angels for support.</em><em>My prayer: Dear God and the angels, I give you this situation now and completely. I step out of the way and allow divine miracles to shine through everyone and everything involved</em>.”</p>
<p>As an empath more than anybody else in business, more than any other kind of person out there who is a professional and has a career and decides to participate professional activities, YOU have got to lean on Spirit, whatever that means to you. For those of you who are atheist, this means leaning on your human potential, your belief that life is going to have positive outcomes and is bringing you more good, rather than more bad. It’s about you committing to having more of a pronoia or a positive mindset rather than a paranoia or a negative mindset: give it all over to positive expectation.</p>
<p><strong>Feed your faith, my dear, because you're going to be sponging up energy, anyway. </strong>You had better know that you've got someone or something watching your back - your power animals, your spirit guides, your angels, your fairies, whoever, your grandma. My grandma has got my back, in the energy. Lean on spirit when you feel depleted, that's what the angels want you to know this week in particular as we start owning it and opening up the conversation around what it means to be an empath in business.</p>
<p>Now, I want to hear from you. Make sure you comment below or send me an email back at team@VictoriaWhitfield.com. I am here to support you. <strong>If you want to know more about how you can shift your state in business so that you feel like you are glowing, rather than draining yourself out, as you grow your business, reach out. </strong>Let me know and I'd be so happy to schedule a session with you so that we could talk about how we can best turn your light back on.</p>
<p>All right, I'll see you in the next one.</p>
<p><strong>May you feel loved and safe at work, and please: Enjoy the journey. </strong></p>
<p>See you soon!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span></p>
<h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2>
<h3>Acknowledge the unique challenges you or your loved ones face as empaths at work.</h3>
<h3>Be kind to yourself, and be conscious of your need to lean on Spirit moreso than the average person.</h3>
<h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Hate your body?<br />
</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Self-conscious about how you look?<br />
</em></h2>
<h2><em>"Looking good" on the outside according to others, but secretly suffering emotionally on the inside?<br />
</em></h2>
<p>News flash: your body image distracts you from truly loving yourself.</p>
<p>Image alone is not sufficient -- you deserve deeper nourishment than that!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 12-minute Love Letter video to discover a simple yet profound hack that uses your body to teach you to deeply love yourself, flaws and all.<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-4343"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"<strong><span class="s1">I need better nourishment</span></strong>."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Whether you are looking to improve your personal or professional health, please let this video be your reminder that you are not alone and that together we can make that happen. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>This is week two of four. Our four week deep dive into the power of loving yourself.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Maybe it's time, like if you've clicked play on this video, maybe it's time for you learn how to love yourself at a whole new level, because as we covered last week, you've been called to love others in a big way. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">But, in order for you to fill their cup and quench their thirst for love and support, you have got to go and get a faucet of water with which you can fill your pitcher and your cup first. So, that you can continue to serve them.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So, this week. Week two, the guides have said it's time for us to talk about loving your physical body now. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>For some of us, this is a lifelong battle against the grain of loving our physical body. We hate our bodies.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Hate your greeters. I hate the extra juice. All the extra things and so on. Or, the different scars that we've accrued over time. Or, maybe you don't like your curly hair, or your straight hair, or your skin tone, or your eyes, or your ears, or your nose, or your tooth, right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> There's so much, so much emotion that's caught up in the physical representation and the physical presentation of our bodies that we can get caught up in body hatred, rather than love.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So, be kind to yourself. If that's you, if you're still battling with your weight or your skin condition, or part of your body that you've just always hated, this week is for you, darling. So, again, the reason why we're taking the four week approach to loving ourselves is we want to take a deep dive together. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">And, there's power in loving yourself, but sometimes we just flat don't know how.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> We hear it all the time in different positive writings as we were talking about last week, you've got to love yourself, you've got to love yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>Different people in the media being positive, you've got to love yourself so that you can love others and so on and so forth.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">But, how in the world do we do that? So, week two through four is exactly how. This week, we're going to focus on loving your body. Loving our bodies. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So, when we're beginning with body image on the path to loving ourselves, if we begin on the physical level from the standpoint of body image, we're already setup to completely fail. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Loving your body has nothing to do with your body image. Love is bigger than image.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So, this is the message from the guides from you. This week in particular, if you've always been struggling with body image and never feeling enough, right, looking in the mirror and not really feeling like it's ever enough or ever completely arranged, and nice. Image will not get you there.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/0Hd7h"><strong><span class="s1">Know this: Loving your body has nothing to do with body image; Love is bigger than that. Image is circumstantial, conditional.</span></strong></a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/0Hd7h"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64" /></a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">If we're looking to increase your self-love and loving yourself, starting from the physical, the image of your body is the wrong place to start.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1">
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> And, you know I don't really deal in the whole right versus wrong thing, but I'm going to tell you, you're setting yourself up for the scenic route and I don't mean that in a positive way, if you're going for body image. So, here's why. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Body image, or the visual representation, the spatial physical representation of your physicality is circumstantial. It's conditional. Your body, the way that it looks is a condition. You could have the most cut arms or you could have the most soft and voluminous arms.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Both of those are conditions that determine whether or not you can share love on the physical level.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> So, for this week in particular, we want to elevate your ability to love yourself on the physical level, but we're not going to go from the standpoint of body image, right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So, let's make that clear. Getting all cute and stuff like that, yes it's pleasurable, but again, it is circumstantial, it's conditional. That would sound like, <em>"Oh, I only love myself if I look good"</em> or <em>"Me looking good and taking care of how I present myself is a sign of self-love on the physical level."</em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> But, what if you're depressed and you don't have the energy for that? What if you don't have the money to buy jewels and makeups, and haircuts, and all sorts of things? How can we love our bodies on a physical level that does not have to do with body image?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So, the guides, first and foremost are bringing forward the concept of contrast. Using your body, the contrast that you experience in your body, as a gateway for increasing yourself love. What does that mean? Contrast means that which you do not want. That which you do not want is what contrast is.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> So, let's take a double chin or extra juice around your belly, for example. Extra belly fat. Maybe that's something that you do not want. This is a gateway for loving yourself, because it is contrast coming forward. Contrast is always an invitation to expansion. Contrast, this week in particular, is your training partner.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Now, when I'm talking about contrast in terms of fat on the body or for you, it might be pain in the body, et cetera. Let contrast be your training partner in that contrast is there to draw your attention toward yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Now, we're going to cover this more next week, but let the attention that's drawn toward you change to be curious about how can I be more loving towards this contrast? What does this pain signal me to.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Oh, okay. I need more self-care, right? Change the story around the pain of your body. What does this extra or excess flesh on my body draw me to, what positive aspect, what type of growth, progress, love, and connection do I need that my fat is blanketing me with? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">So, with that, it might a positive story on extra weight gain might be,<em> "I need better nourishment"</em>, right? So, the fat on my body is showing me, okay, I'm malnourished. I need to better nourish myself.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now, I heard someone just say in the energy, <em>"Oh, that means I'm over-nourished, I'm eating way too much"</em>, okay. So, that's a different form of nourishment, right? It's eating the right things versus eating the stuffy things and the crappy things. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>So, embracing contrast in your body and allowing that to be a gateway for self-love. When in doubt, remember why. There are imperfections in your physical body. That Source has sent you here to challenge you. To challenge you to love, despite all the imperfections.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you saw a baby with a cleft lip, you wouldn't hate that baby or say it's disgusting or ugly, it's a baby. It's precious. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> You deserve the same level of acceptance that you would give that baby who had that cleft lip or had a deformity from her birth. You'd automatically honor that baby's divinity and worthiness. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Challenge yourself this week to look at the contrast in your body and simply say, <em>"I love you anyway"</em>, right? Look at it fully, head on. And, <em>"I love you anyway"</em>, that's your mantra for the week.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The oracle cards of the week, speaking of, Archangel Raphael Healing oracle cards deck. This is our healing angel on the physical level. Angel Raphael, what do we need to know about loving our physical body? Increased energy! Yay! </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> Dear Archangel Raphael, thank you for filling me with the unlimited energy of divine love and light. And, here's where we'll end this week. The more you send love to the parts of you on a physical level that you actually hate, the more you will actually increase your energy. You'll fill your cup and love yourself first.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Go ahead and comment below, send me an email back. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>What stands out to you? What part of your body are you going to say <em>"I love you anyway"</em> to? This week in particular.</strong> </span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Do you feel like you're called to support others?<br />
</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Are you a leader or manager in your home or your organization?<br />
</em></h2>
<h2><em>Wish you had the energy to serve more people?<br />
</em></h2>
<p>This month, we're going to talk about exactly what resource can fuel you for the long-haul continuing to show up in service.</p>
<p>That resource, that essential nutrient is: loving yourself.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 12-minute Love Letter video to find out exactly WHY loving yourself is the key to truly loving others.<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-4333"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"I'm always the one giving advice."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This month I'm so excited to get to share with you the next deep dive topic that we're going to be going through over the next four weeks together. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As you know, my guides have said that it's time that you and I continue to have a deeper relationship and probe deeper into the perks of life together so that we can have more intimate bond and better understand each other as well as ourselves, so that we can lift up our communities and our clients together in the process.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> So this month's deep dive topic is loving yourself.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Loving yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>Now, I'm sure that you've heard about loving yourself from so many people and different teachers, different books, that you may have gone through.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">But loving yourself is a powerful, powerful, powerful nutrient that fuels the greatest healers and leaders, period. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>If you are called to serve others, right, to take care of others, to make sure that they're okay and support the community, support your clients, support your family, that means that you are a leader and that you are a healer.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> And you know what it's like to love others. You're used to it. You're really accustomed to being that loving presence, that supportive presence to others and that's beautiful. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Also it can get draining. It can get so draining when you're always being the strong one. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>You're the one giving the advice, the support, dishing out the transformation, the information, the coordination, all the things, you being the anchor.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">What happens sometimes is that in the course of being service-oriented, right? We show up to serve. We show up to give. It's so generous. It's so powerful. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> What happens sometimes is that we forget that we need. The one who is serving and supporting the tribe, whatever your tribe looks like, don't forget we also need to fill our cup.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So we're going to take the next four weeks to cover exactly how to begin loving yourself. Now more than ever my guides say you've got to hear this message and the people that you support need you to love yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you know me very well. You know that my number one muse and mentor is RuPaul, the drag queen. RuPaul, I love him, I love him from the bottom of my heart. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">He taught me how to love myself and his phrase, his mantra is, <em>"If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love anybody else?"</em> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Can I get an amen? Everyone's like, Amen, yes. Yeah, I love RuPaul. I love you, I love you, I love you. If you ever see this, thank you. You've changed my life.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> With that, every single healer and every single leader has got to have a regular practice of self-love and taking care of yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">As is the custom here at the Dojo, we start with why so we're going to go through different, exactly how processes. You know that I dish out homework. Here just for today is what you're going to do. That's who I am. I'm a teacher at heart. That's what we do, right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> With that, we want to make sure that you start with why so that you understand exactly what's the fuel behind loving yourself because if you don't understand what's the fuel, what's the inspiration, what's the motivation behind loving yourself, you're not going to do it.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You're not. It's just going to go to the bottom or not even catch the task list. It's not even going to be on the back burner. It's just going to get thrown out the window or in the trash can, your self-love, your self-care.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> Now I believe in starting with why and those of you who are watching who love Simon Sinek, I'm sure you're feeling me.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The reason why it's time for you to love yourself is because you're a healer and because you're a leader, because you're the caregiver. The reason why you're going to love yourself and learn how to do it on a whole new level this month in particular is because you're called to support others. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> The vision that the guides send to illustrate this why is that you're here quenching others' thirst. There are people who are thirsty for what you have got.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Maybe you have incredible advice. Maybe you're a fantastic cook. Maybe you're a beautiful and profound listener. Perhaps no one delegates and coordinates better than you. You're the best person to organize people, right? You're a people person.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> Or perhaps you're a Mom or a Dad, and you're the one taking care of your kids. You've got to lead them and love them and teach them so that they can grow and feel safe as wholly grounded and well-rounded human beings.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So as you are called to be the leader, to show up to give, you're quenching these people's thirst with the energy that you are giving constantly, constantly quenching your thirst.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> How much water do you drink each day? There's so much body that our bodies need. We're above 70% made of water. If you're the one quenching the thirst, how do you do that? How do you get water?</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Let's do it on a mundane level before we take it to the illustration level. How do you get water to bring it to someone? You get a cup, you know, you get a cup, you go over to a faucet of some sort and you bring the cup to them and say, <em>"Here"</em> or you help them.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> So, you see what happened right there? You had a cup, brought it over to the faucet or you had a pitcher and brought it over to the faucet, some sort of source of water, and then you went to offer them the cup or to pour them a drink.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is the illustration behind why it's time for you to love yourself, the guides are sending to you. It's very simple. We don't do things complex here. The simpler, the better and the faster you can implement, the more you can integrate it.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/dH80t"><strong><span class="s1">Know this: The people that you support need you to love yourself.</span></strong></a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/dH80t"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64" /></a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The self-love comes in having the faucet. If you were to pour someone a cup of water, you wouldn't take your boob and squirt them out like, oh my God, or you wouldn't try and cry into a cup so that they could drink your tears or any other of your fluids or blah. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Unless you're a Mom, you're giving your breast milk to your baby, but typically you don't offer of yourself in order to quench others' thirst. You go to the water source, right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> This is the illustration of what loving yourself is so that you can continue to show up in service. Fill your cup first, fill your pitcher first before you go out and serve others. By the way, once you have your water source, you can serve people more of the time. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You can serve more people more of the time in a sustainable ongoing way. This is why its time for you to learn how to love yourself and find your love resource so that you can continue to fill up and bring more, and fill up and bring more. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">So that you're pouring from abundance rather than from lack.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now, I'm hearing the Oracle Cards calling for the week. It is The Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards, my favoritest, favorite deck. Thank you, Doreen Virtue for making this. And thank you to Success Express that originally Bonnie and Susan, they originally donated it. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Goddesses, what do we need to know right now about loving ourselves? Why? Show us why.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Oh, this is so good. Damara, guiding children. You are good at helping, counseling and healing children. Use your skills to help children now. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>So my guides are taking me, so on one level, yes, we're talking to those of you who are parents and teachers.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Loving yourself, you need the strength to be able to hold space for the children that you are taking care of, that demand an extremely high amount of your energy, your investment, your time, your love. And you want to be there for the kids, and take excellent care of them.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> But on another level my guides are taking me to those who are entrepreneurs, leaders and managers, where you are guiding the inner child or those who are under your care.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You are good at helping, counseling and healing others, and you want to care for those who are in your charge at the same level that a loving parent would take care of their children. </span><span class="s1">Your employees are your children. Your clients are your children. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>You want to protect them and love on them at the same level that you would for your children but in order to do that, in order to get the strength that you need, you've got to have that source of energy.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This month, we're going to show you exactly how to get that.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So go ahead and comment below. Send me an email back. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>What's coming up for you seeing this card and this topic? Do you feel that this topic is timely?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first every week and we'll see you next time. Bye. See you soon.</span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>"Flying by the seat of your pants" not working as well as it used to anymore?</em></span></h2>
<h2><em>Desperately trying every possible solution, but nothing seems to stick?</em></h2>
<h2><em>Feeling invisible and impatient because things are not moving as fast as you hoped they would?<br />
</em></h2>
<p>Creative people tend to come up with their best work under pressure.</p>
<p>But what happens when the 11th hour comes and goes with no golden egg?</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week's 12-minute love letter video to begin being intentional, and learn why it can change the game for you!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-3309"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"I wish I was understood."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">So this week, in particular, the guides had a very simple message. Be intentional. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Be intentional. What does this mean?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When we are intentional, we are decisive, precise, and focused. Decisive, precise, and focused. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>This is an interesting topic especially if lately you've been having trouble getting clear on what your message is. Maybe in your business or maybe on your blog, your story right on your page.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Or even clear about what major you want to choose in college or what's the right next career step for you. What kind of culture you desire to have in your business or at home with your family. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">What type of life you desire to create is what's at stake behind being intentional.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> When you set your intention, you put a stake in the ground to say, <em>"This is who I am and this is what I desire."</em> It's necessary to have that point of view set and clear so that the universe can support you in manifesting whatever you're creating. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>Now if you're not intentional, this is what happens. You go with the motions. You leave things up to chance.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You get frustrated when other people don't really do what you want but you expect them to magically know, according to social conventions or according to,<em> "Well, this is how I've done this for them, so they should just infer."</em> Or <em>"I wish I was understood."</em> Rather than being intentional about it.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> Decisive, clear, and precise.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2049 size-full" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png" alt="TWEETOFTHEWEEK" width="462" height="86" srcset="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK.png 462w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-300x56.png 300w, https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/TWEETOFTHEWEEK-460x86.png 460w" sizes="(max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px" /></p>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/6c5Ud">Know this: Being intentional means being decisive, clear &amp; precise. Doesn't mean saying yes to everything.</a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="http://ctt.ec/6c5Ud"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2243" src="https://victoriawhitfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/tweetbutton-300x129.gif" alt="tweetbutton" width="150" height="64"></a></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> It's hard because I feel in the energy as I share that with you, that there's this element of commitment phobia that comes up when I think about being intentional.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Well I have multiple commitments. I could do whatever. Anything that comes across my path, I should say yes to because that means I'm connected to that person, that organization, that idea. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It helps me feel like I'm part of something bigger than just myself, and my own problems, my own world, my own limitations.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> I get it, I feel you, and this week in particular, the guides are saying, <em>"It's time for you to draw a line in the sand."</em> Not just a line, let's say more like an X. X marks the spot. This is my intention.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Maybe it's in dating with this person that you've been going out with for a while. I really intend to get married so if that's not something that you're interested in, we don't need to keep talking. Or maybe with your friend who is only texting you and never calls. It's my intention to actually connect with you and what that actually means is hearing your voice or getting to hug you in person. This whole texting business, your friend or your children, this texting stuff, it doesn't work for me.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> It's X marks the spot. Boom. We are super decisive, clear, and precise on what it is we desire.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm starting to hear the oracle cards calling the energy in support of this but I want you to know that this actually takes courage to be intentional, to set an intention and go for it. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">It's different than goal setting. This is really about decisiveness.<br />
</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Decisiveness has this kind of commitment taboo sort of spooky feeling 'cause we've made decisions in the past or asked for things before, and it didn't go well or we didn't get what we wanted. Be kind to yourself. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">This is a week of healing through experience and experimentation. Experiment with being intentional. Set up an intention, follow it, and guess what? You can always change your mind.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The oracle cards this week, in particular, is the Magical Spell cards. Yes. Yummy, yummy. One of nineteen and counting oracle cards decks here at the Dojo. Feel free to send gifts my way as well as donations. Send me an email. Send to VictoriaWhitfield@gmail.com. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">If you have a deck that you would love to donate, or you're wondering, "What's your mailing address, Victoria? I want to send you something." Happy to receive. Thank you in advance.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So this deck in particular is full of wonderful anchoring rituals that with the physical activity of them, communicate and reinforce an intention. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Guides, what magical spell would you like to bring forward today in particular? This week in particular for us? For being more intentional. What spell are we doing?</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Spell Card 33. Creativity. I'm going to read it to you, 'cause there's a process. And this deck in particular, there's a process behind every single card. Okay. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><em><span class="s1"> "Creativity is the ability to manifest ideas that begin in dreams and wishes. To see them become solid and three dimensional and to have others experience their power too."</span></em></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Couldn't resonate more with intentionality. Clear, right? In sharing. <em>"Creativity is sacred to the universe. Work this spell to all the enchanting power or creativity to move from your dreams, to reality in your life. If this spell has chosen you ..."</em> Which is what happened. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1"><em>"The universe wishes you to understand that there are gifts that you, and only you, have to offer to the world. Take the time to work this spell's special magic so that you can come to understand what the gift is that you have to offer the world."</em></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So this is a wonderful ritual or an activity to bring out your unique brilliance, your creativity, and help you be more intentional. Authentically. Beautifully in alignment, this never gets old. Creativity spell, you ready? This is really simple.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"><em> "Use the magical power of white light and breathe it in from the universe."</em> Imagine that there's white light all around you, that you can breathe in. <em>"Practice this until it becomes natural and true creativity will flow."</em></span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> This is your magical activity for this week in particular. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Now, this is regardless of what your religious or spiritual beliefs are. It's just breathing in, imagining and breathing in white light. My guides say that this is a wonderful activity or spell, if you desire to call it that.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> This is a wonderful activity for being more intentional because it clears the decks and gets you back into your central flow. Your alignment. When you're being intentional, you have to be clear in where you're coming from in the first place to really put, <em>"Hey, X marks the spot right there. This is my intention."</em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> So try it out with me. Take a deep breath in, visualize this white light flowing into your body as you inhale. Exhaling white light right through you. Two more. Breathe in. Last one, breathing in more healing light.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Pause in this space, don't open your eyes yet if your eyes are closed. Relaxed. What do you desire? What was the first thing that came up for you? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Comment below or send me an email back at SenseiVictoriaWhitfield@gmail.com. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>What bubbled up as you breathed in that energy? That is your intent, okay?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"> I'm excited to hear what yours are. What's your intention? What intention are you going to bring to this week and where are you going to be more intentional? </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"><strong>Are you going to eat more intentional? Are you going to speak with more intention? Are you going to move, or even clean, with intention? Excited to hear how you apply this. And have a decisive, clear, and focused week.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Make sure you subscribe on YouTube, wherever that is, so you get your Love Letters first every week. We'll see you next time. See ya. Bye.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong style="line-height: 1.5;">In Love and Light,</strong></p>
