This is week two of four in our exploration of money as spiritual, money as good, being open to, loving and healing our relationship to money.

Be kind to yourself, if this is your first video please hit stop, go back on my blog at VictoriaWhitfield.com so that you start from the very first part of our series so that you're grounded in this process.

Without further ado, this week in particular my guides are saying that we've got to talk about sales shame and scars. Sales shame, and scars. Now, this comes up all the time with my clients. Doesn't matter if it's someone who I've met while on the road or networking or for the first time or if it's one of my clients who's been with me for the last, gosh, six, seven years straight. We all, myself included, have a sense of sales shame and sales scars.

Now I remember hearing at a speech by Myron Golden where he said that by the time a child turns 18 years old, in the media the child has seen over 10,000 business owners killed on TV, online, and in the news. His point was that in that figure right there we see a systemic epidemic of putting down salespeople, of demonizing business owners, entrepreneurs, and people who are out there making money. There's a strategic demonization of that.

Our minds and our hearts become scarred seeing all of this. That figure really shocked me, but it makes sense because how many times do we – wait, I'll put it on me. I personally have been to so many sales presentations. I've walked in hoping someone would sell me what they're selling, legitimately excited to buy, and I've also walked in having made a commitment to myself, “I swear to God, if this person tries to sell me, I'm walking out.” Sound familiar?

I even have equated bad sales with unwanted touching, like being physically attacked. In my opinion, it is a mental rape when done horribly wrong. By the way, comment below, send me an email back at Team@VictoriaWhitfield.com if that's you, where you're finding yourself bracing when somebody's trying to sell you, as if you're about to get attacked mentally, emotionally, financially, and even spiritually by someone. Here's the thing, we have scars. We have scars because some people in the past, for all intents and purposes, used this powerful tool to, unfortunately, cut into our energy.

These are soul scars that we carry along the way and it's doubly bad for those of us who are entrepreneurs and business owners because part of the way that ... actually the only way that we're able to share our gifts at the level that we've been called to by God, by Source, is to sell - which means to serve. We've got to make the offer to invite people to work with us. If you sincerely are doing something that's going to help somebody, it's your divine duty to invite them to work with you. You shouldn't be ashamed of it.

But here we go with carrying our soul scars around sales. The feeling of having been - and I'm going to go there, and I'm going to repeat it just as I said without limiting myself - mentally and emotionally and even spiritually, financially raped. Mentally “raped” or attacked or scarred by someone whose done sales on us; this unwanted touching, mentally and energetically. Be kind to yourself if that has been your experience before, and you got totally taken advantage of. If that happened to you, from my heart to yours, I am so sorry. It's terrifying. You work so hard for your money, and then someone turns on your emotions and then leads you down a path that is unfortunately destructive to you.

It's heartbreaking when that happens, and because of our soul scars around sales, then we carry the shame, the shame, the shame – which hides the secret rage. This is especially prevalent in the holistic healing community, amongst life coaches, business coaches, marketing coaches, amongst reiki masters, massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, osteopaths. I'm just going through all the different clients that I've had in my head who’ve had this sales shame: my goodness, bookkeepers, everyone who's loving and kind and really sincerely wanting to help people.

There's this haunting shame that comes for all of us when it’s time to share our gifts... Where you start thinking, “what if they're going to tell me they can't afford it? What do I do? I don't want to make people spend money, I feel bad.” Or, “who's going to pay for that? Maybe I shouldn't be charging so much. I should really even be doing this for free. Who gets paid to listen to their intuition and who gets paid to listen to people?” By the way - you're looking at and reading a blog someone who does, and I get paid well because I do tremendous work. I give massive, massive value, and I am grateful that my life’s purpose fully supports me.

Gosh, it is such a gift. And I pay good money for this spiritual and personal development stuff as well, for people to do energy work on me and to help me hear my intuition better and also to hear myself better. Absolutely. I pay five figures a year and I've paid out in total six figures now over the last few years to ensure that I am fully self-actualized. You absolutely should be charging for that, whatever you're healing gift is, but there's this haunting, persistent shame that we are carrying around charging. I'm hearing the word “why”, and the reason why we carry that shame is because we have the mistaken thought that we are protecting other people by not sharing our services with them.

Know this: The reason why you're not selling is because you have a mistaken thought that you are protecting these people by not sharing your services, whatever that may be. #healing #entrepreneur #sales #abundance @SenseiWhitfield

-- Are you loving The Love Letters? If so, please support our healing work with a love donation:

--

Maybe you don't have your own business yet, but you're working at a company or working for a nonprofit that you sincerely believe in, that you absolutely love, and you're rooting for. You see the good that they do in the world, and then you see someone who could really benefit from the service or from donating to this gorgeous, fabulous, charitable cause.

Then here comes the shame of: “but I can't tell them because they're going to have to spend money,” or “I can't ask for the donation, I should be ashamed of myself, asking for this person’s money.” No, you shouldn't! No, you shouldn't! Don't should on yourself, please, if you have something powerful and healing to share with the world, if you have more love that you can pour into this world by sharing your product or service, please, please DO.

If I'm the only person who gets to tell you this, please believe in yourself, please believe that sales is service. Don't let your shame or your mistaken thinking that you are protecting people from spending money keep you from shining bright. We're in a dark world and we need your light, but in order for some of us to turn on, we have got to learn how to invest in ourselves.

I know for me, my life changed when I started to invest in myself. Personally, I am completely unrecognizable - go ahead on my Facebook and ask some of my friends who first became my friends when Facebook first came out, "Do you recognize Victoria now? Is she like she was 15, 20, 25 years ago?" They're like, "Nope, she's completely different” and some may even add “but she's more of herself than she's ever been." It's because I learned how to invest in myself by being open to receiving sales.

Now, this also has to do with discernment, and the more you cultivate your emotional capital - meaning your ability to value how you feel, and accrue good feeling, generate good feeling - the more you will cultivate your discernment, so that you don't have to be afraid of people selling you, and you don't have to be afraid of sharing your service with people who are desperately seeking it.

The only reason why you're carrying around that sales shame is actually because you haven't cultivated enough of your emotional capital. Pour into your positive feeling emotions, pour into that on a daily basis, that's the first thing I do every single day, and I've been doing it for 11 years straight, is to pour positive feeling, good feeling, raise my vibration, get into the vortex, shift my state, change my mind, raise my standards, put my mindset at the same level of the Universe to make sure that I am seeing with clear eyes. I’ve cultivated my discernment, my emotional capital, ceaselessly.

I'm hearing the oracle cards screaming in the air, "Oh my God, Victoria, hurry up and pull us." Okay, lol! Let me just stuff them back in this box because I was just sifting through them... This is the Angels of Abundance oracle cards deck by Doreen Virtue and her son, Grant Virtue, if you want to pick it up yourself. Okay. Angels of Abundance, what do we need to know right now? About, gosh, our sales shame, our sales scars. - I love this: Bountiful Nature. This is where we're going to leave off for the week.

Bountiful Nature. Spending time in nature helps shift you to a higher vibration and reminds you of God’s infinite abundance. Go outside and enjoy a walk or hike with your pet, meditate beneath a tree, garden, sit under the stars, or do some other activity to connect with the limitless vastness.

This is so beautiful, this is a perfect ending point.

A lot of our fear and shame around selling, as well as being sold, is that there's not enough to go around. There's not enough even if you're selling something amazing or you're being sold on exactly what you need. That fear comes up that there's not enough to go around. Please let nature affirm you in that there is no limit to the amount of wealth, and abundance, and resource supporting you now, right now, in this moment.

Nature is a gorgeous example of interconnection and agreement, of constant inflow and outflow, inhale and exhale. Let that remind you of what true wealth and abundance looks like. Allow it to soothe your emotions so that you can raise your emotional vibration and increase your emotional capital.

All right, this is it, Bountiful Nature. Go outside, breath it in and receive. Okay. Send me an email back at Team@VictoriaWhitfield.com or comment below. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every week, and I'll see on the next one.

May you feel loved and safe at work, and please: Enjoy the journey!

Bye for now. --

Notice how you feel in that moment - you're already healing!

The post Love Letters | Sales Scars and Shame – Part 2 of 4 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

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.

Think you’re not enough?

Worried that your vision, goal or purpose is just plain too big for you to achieve?

Feeling like you’re in over your head and have way too much on your plate right now?

You’re right.

And it’s time to transform our Devil’s Advocate into our greatest cheerleader!

Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the third installment in our 5-week series on transitioning “From Me to We”, to find the love and power in being not enough.

"I just don't feel like I can do it all anymore."

So this week is week three of five of our five week deep dive into transitioning from a me mindset to the we mindset, right?

We are called to exponential growth and impact in the world. And in order to make that happen, we have got to transition from the me mindset to the we mindset. And that's what we're focusing on this series in particular.

So if you have missed the first two weeks, go ahead, stop now. Go back on YouTube. Put in Sensei Victoria Whitfield Love Letters and subscribe there so that you can stay up to date and see them first every single week.

Without further ado, this week's topic is a bit counterintuitive, because you know I love you. And my guides are telling me to speak from the shadow and honor a truth that may sound painful yet strangely familiar to hear. You ready for it? You are not enough. You are not enough.

Now, let's predicate this. I understand that we've been going through a tough time before. I've had bouts of depression in my life. Absolutely. I'm a creative person. We have depression, right? Now just one. We have several, naturally. It's part of that creative process, right?

Phoenix is only phoenix if it can rise from those fired ashes. So I understand that this may be a phrase that you've been ... in the back of your head thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousand or millions of times to yourself. I hope not every day, but certainly over the course of the week, month, year, or your lifespan, telling ourselves "I am not enough," is usually our disempowering story, our self sabotage and self disempowerment story. Usually tends to have the title I Am Not Enough.

However, this week in particular, your guides, our guides, the tribe's guides want us to know that you're right! You are not enough. And why that is correct, this week in particular is because the vision, the desire, that you have received from your higher self is so much bigger than only your two hands can hold, right?

So to give you an example of the fact that I am not enough right now. Let's make this concrete. This is our pen jar here at the dojo, and in it is about 21 pens. Now, I have one of my hands, 21 pens. And I'm like, my hand is like stretched. I have little hands. I can hold 21 pens. Alright! And if I had times two, right, a second handful of 21 pens, that would be 42. Yay math. 42 pens, right?

And so, my limit on how much I can comfortably hold, right, of how many pens, or if you're watching as a business owner, how many clients, or how many employees. Or if you're watching and you don't quite have a business just yet, this is how many things you can juggle in a given day. Alright, 21, 42.

What if my vision is calling me to hold onto 420 pens? Now, I'm creative, right, I'd probably stuff some into my bra, or my like scarf, and like try and balance on my head, but I wouldn't be able to hold 420 pens, which is 10 times my absolute capacity. This shows that I am not enough to be able to realize the holding of 420 pens or the 10x of my current state.

So that means as a person, I am not enough, or I'm not a good person. Nope. That just means in order to receive the 10x of what I have right now or to receive the fullness of my desire, it's time to transition from it just being me holding all the pens, right?

Now this is a very small scale example of something that you may be going through right now, especially if you're a control enthusiast, yes. Mwah if that's you. Be kind to yourself if you like things done the way you like things done. Yeah. I'm right there with you. And we gotta stop that. Hashtag stop that. You're not enough.

My guides also told me that this mindset, the I'm not enough, I'm not enough, I'm not enough, as a disempowering story comes from learning conditional love and approval of ourselves. So this is extremely deep rooted.

If only just for now, decide that your lovability, your worthiness, your approval is without question and unconditional. Let's take you're not enough as a disempowering story off the table, and instead, reframe it as "Yeah. I'm not enough. I have got to bring on more support. I am excited to bring on more support and to link arms with my support tribe."

And now I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy that we've been journeying with all month. Let me come in a wee bit closer. Life Purpose Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue, one of the I don't know how many, 20 something, I don't know, decks that we have here at the dojo.

Angels, what do we need to know right now about embracing the positive side of I am not enough. Huh. Couldn't get any better. Here we go. Let go. Let go. Walk away from the situation in order to resolve it.

So this is like the delegator's mantra. Let go. Let go. Walk away. Take your hands off of the computer, and let the person who's better qualified to do it, do it. So good. Be kind to yourself if you have trouble letting go. This week, you're being called to walk away from it. Hashtag stop that.

So go ahead, post in the comments below what's coming up for you hearing all of this? Oh my goodness, is this great news or is this I officially cannot stand you news?

And please remember, if there's any way I can be of service, right, or if you need help balancing your mind, body, and spirit of letting go of the things that you've been holding onto, go ahead and reach out. Just let me know at VictoriaWhitfield.com/contact.

Okay, so that's it for this week. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you'll get these love letters first every week, and I'll see you for the next installment of our series.

Bye.

Know this: When you tell yourself you are not enough, you’re right! And I explain why that’s a GOOD thing!

The post Love Letters | You Are Not Enough – Part 3 of 5 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Feeling indecisive, like you’re life lacks direction?

Struggling to “find yourself” and feel like you belong?

Wondering if you’ll ever get the clarity you seek?

Indecision is a symptom of much deeper issues regarding your relationship with your own Spirit, aka your “spirituality.”

And everyone has a sense of spirituality, especially skeptics and realists.

Watch this week’s 12-minute love letter video, the final part in our four-part Deep Dive series on the Power of Loving Yourself, to redefine spirituality and use it to love yourself at work today.

"What is my value?"

This week is week four of four in our deep dive into loving yourself.

The power of loving yourself and this week, the guides are going to have us talk about loving your spirit. Let's define terms a little bit, right out the gate.

What is a spirit? What in the world are we talking about? The spirit for the bounds of this conversation, we're going to understand as the resource behind your decision making processes in life.

It is the force that determines the path that your life takes, right? It is that resource behind how you make decisions.

That's what your spirit is, so for those of us you are religious, we understand to be the holy spirit. For those of us that aren't creative or consider ourselves scientific, same thing, that you can understand to be your creative spirit, your spirit of innovation, growth and progress, that sort of a spirit.

This is the fuel behind your decision making processes and when you're learning how to love yourself on another level, so that you can better love others, right?

We're filling our cup at the faucet, the resource that we need, so that we can then hand that cup or pour from a full pitcher to others to love on them, as well. Showing up in service and loving others, abundantly.

With that, this week in particular, when we're learning how to love our spirit, it's important to then understand what your core values are, especially when you're at work. Now, there's a very professionalism and all those kinds of corporate sort of language. Mission, vision, values that comes up for us when we think of, what do we value? But instead, I want you to think of when it comes to loving yourself, what do you value?

When it comes to your life, what do you value? When it comes to being loving, what do you value? Remembering that your spirit is the force behind your decision making process.

With that, this week in particular, we want to pick one value in particular that is loving to you. One that nourishes you. If we could choose a more concrete word, whether than just loving can sometimes be a morphosis for those of us who are not used to being loving to oneself, right?

We're used to being loving to others, so think of a value that would be nourishing to you, even if you want to pick nourishment. My nourishment is something that I value.

Me personally, my top values are, number one, love. Obviously. Number two is safety and number three is honor. Honesty for me falls underneath honor, so when I have something more vulnerable that I need to share to a team member or someone that I'm in an intimate relationship with, maybe family or my partner and so on, I think of my value of honor and that, for me, is loving toward myself first and that gives me the courage to then speak from the heart about topics that might be a little bit more vulnerable making or feel uncomfortable to bring up.

That value gives me the courage to make a decision with my spirit to allow the spirit of honor to come through me and create more honorable experiences. Are you getting the picture here?

That's loving towards me because I'm bringing that spirit into my awareness in my decision making, which then effects my behavior and how I show up to others, how I serve others.

If I come with a spirit of honor or spirit of love or spirit of safety and honoring my safety, others safety and so on and so forth. What would be your value? How can you, but we want to make this very specific, this week in particular to work. How can you honor your spirit or how can you bring your spirit into your work experience?

Perhaps it is honoring your religion. I'm putting a lot of my value of honor. Perhaps it is bring your spirit's desire to be religious or to glorify God in all that you do and bring that to your work experience.

How would you work? How would you show up? How would you speak to others if the force behind your decisions and your behaviors is, I want to glorify God in whatever I do?

Know this: Your Spirit is the force behind how you make decisions in life and #business. And spirituality is your relationship with it.

On the flip side, what if your value was, I value my health. My health comes first. How would you show up at work today if your value is, my health comes first? This is the one value that I'm going to embody today.

How can you allow that to come forward in your work day? How would you speak to people? How would you sit at your desk? What food would you choose to put in your body if that was your value that you were going to honor today, this week?

Whether you're going all week or just for today, what would be different about the way that you conduct your behavior and the decisions that you make if you made value based decisions?

The power and the self-loving, self-nourishing aspect of making value based decisions is that you become responsive rather than reactive to life around you. When we're reactive, things happen and all right, I got to put out the fire over here and oh, so and so needs me.

Okay, I'll do this and oh my gosh, what about this and da da da da and you're working yourself up spiritually because there's no anchor, there's no value anchoring you down on a spiritual level. Your decisions are flying off at the handle, they're reacting to all of the circumstances that are around you versus making value based decisions.

You're able to ground and then respond with wisdom to the experiences that are coming toward you so that your life, you're building by design in a wise and spiritually grounded way.

Value based decisions, that's the challenge for this week, in particular. The mantra of the week is, what's my value? Remember it's one. I know some of you do core desired feelings and stuff like that and you pick several and all of this. What one? Just one. Simplify it. I value simplicity. Let's all value simplicity right now.

Bring the spirit of simplicity so that you can be kind to yourself and one, what's my value?

The next time someone asks you something, the next time you begin your work day, the next time you sit down to eat, what's my value? That is your mantra. Today, in particular, or for this week, in particular. Whatever you're ready to commit to.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling and energy. Talk about spirit. Fairies. Ding, ding, ding. Yay. Healing with the fairies, another Doreen Virtue deck. Thank you so much for donating.

This is one of over 20 decks that we have here at the dojo that our clients and students play with as well as my co-op members. Between seeing their clients, they're reading their own oracle card readings. I love it. You're welcome to play. My cards are very social.

Fairies, what do we need to know, this week in particular about loving our spirit? What value? Oh, this loud is coming forward. New opportunity, This is so powerful. Check it out. Gorgeous.

What I'm hearing in the energy to tell you about new opportunity for this week, in particular, is that you've been loving yourself and opening up to honoring and heeling and loving, nourishing and nurturing those parts of yourself that have been under loved for the last few weeks.

We've been at that together and because of that, sources taken notice. There's a new opportunity coming your way that you want to use your value. You're going to need to have a set of values or one guiding light that gives you enough anchoring to receive that opportunity.

If you don't have it, you're going to miss this opportunity and it's because you're got to anchor first in order to receive the level of opportunity that's coming to you this week, in particular. Maybe even today. We want to make wise decisions, ones that are responding to life with elegance , with wisdom, with grounding, allowing spirit to come through and wash through our lives, blessing rather than rushing through and feeling unloved, especially by ourselves. Slow down, ground, make value-based decisions so that you can receive the next level opportunity that's coming to you.

Comment below. Send me an email back.

What's coming up for you hearing all of this? What opportunity, have you recognized it yet? I'd love to hear about it and how did you ground and make a value-based decision in order to receive that.

Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters every single week and ready for it? We did it. We made it through the four weeks. See you soon. Bye.

Feeling like there's never enough hours in the day?

Overwhelmed by all the stuff that has to get done?

Swimming in to-do lists that just keep getting longer and longer?

Source is sounding the alarm that it's time for you to hand off some of those tasks!

But what happens when you're the go-to person for getting things done?

Watch this week's 10-minute love letter to get ready to let go and delegate!

"I feel like I don't have enough time to create."

This week source says it's time for you to have your reminder. Ready?

Delegate. Yay!

This, apparently the guides are, they're ringing this alarm that goes off every so often of, "Oh, you have to delegate." Did you know that?

It doesn't matter if you have a business or don't, have kids or don't, run a team or don't. No. You, if you're watching, you have to delegate. This is your reminder.

There's parts of us are like "Yes!" Then I feel another part of us is like, "No one can do it like me." Right? Totally love that evil part.

Okay. Apparently you are amazing at getting stuff done. You know how to make it work. You're the go to girl, the go to guy. If someone needs help, you're on it.

Now, this, by the way, is for those of you who are in the process of doing something. You've been doing it for a long time, you're amazing at it, or you're okay at it, or it takes a lot of crust to make it happen. You've been working with it.

This is not for those of you who are like, "Oh yay, I get to delegate the thing that I hate that I've never done and I'm never going to do like call my mother. I'm going to delegate that to my kids." No.

This is different. This is not that, or, "Yay, I don't know how to do math. I've never looked at my numbers before. I'm just going to give it away to the first person who's able to take my money." No. This is not for you.

In those instances you don't need to delegate the task, you need to delegate accountability for that task. You need someone to help you learn how to call your mamma, or you need someone to help you learn how to look at your numbers. The guides are saying this week in particular is about delegation. Back to the get-'er-dones out there. If you're a get-'er-doner, whoop, whoop. Yeah, right there with you.

Know this: Know the difference between delegating a task & delegating accountability. Take #Ownership! @SenseiWhitfield http://bit.ly/2wCR0tk

The craziest thing for us in particular, for you and me is being able to hand over something you've been doing for so long because no one else does it like you. Right?

Be kind to yourself because you are creating something really, really big. This is what I'm hearing right now.

You're creating something huge. In order for you to have enough space to birth that creation, that manifestation, that intention into existence, you've got to hand off something else.

Why? Whenever we are doing a task or cleaning the house or finding the sock that matches the other sock, that takes up vital energy that you could be directing towards what you are manifesting.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy all ready. The deck, this is the deck that actually, the only one at the dojo that intimidates me.

Angel Answers oracle cards deck. There are yeses and noes as well as maybes or not yet, et cetera. There are very direct answers in this deck. What we're going to do, then, is we're going to ask this deck to play a little bit of Russian roulette. You ready for this?

Is this the week that we need to delegate, angels? Are we delegating this week? You might just get let off the hook with a no. Let's see. Wouldn't that be nice? The cards are kind of intense, here.

There's something better.

Oh, they just said read. Before I read, though, I'll follow guidance, as I always do, but I have to tell you. This is a yes card.

You need to delegate because there's something better. Not only that there's something better for you to be doing with your energy. I'm being real with you.

Let's be honest, there's something better that you could be doing with your energy instead of this activity of washing the dishes over and over or typing out the notes for each and every one of your consulting clients by hand, or transcribing things, et cetera. There's something that you could be doing better. Right?

You're manifesting something big. You've got to open up your bandwidth so that you can be there for the birth.

Also, the guides are saying there's someone who can do it better. Right? If you are typing out the notes on your video or something like that, use Rev.com. I use them. They are fantastic at transcription. That's how you can write books super fast. Wink, there's one coming. Thanks to delegation. Right?

Hand it off, delegate, delegate so that you can birth and bring in what's new and coming in.

I'm going to read this. I know I just ... This is so exciting. I'm so excited I can barely remember what the alphabet is. There's something better.

"Heaven has something wonderful in mind for you, however it's not the same thing that you planned. Ask yourself what you would rather have, the very thing that you're asking for or something that could make you much happier and more fulfilled. Sometimes god has joys in store for us that we could've never imagined on our own. Open your mind and heart to the possibility that you deserve even more than what you're asking for. Trust your angels to guide you in new and exciting directions."

This is where we're going to leave off. You may have planned and put in your schedule or gotten used to the routine of waking the kids up, getting all of the breakfast together, packing everyone's lunch. You may be used to that routine, but guess what?

If you've been asking source, God, et cetera, however you call her by name, right? If you've been asking your creative spirit for solution that is outside your routine, it's out there for you and allow someone else to help you in bringing that into fruition.

Comment below, send me an email back what you're thinking about, what's coming up for you.

What are you going to delegate? What are you going to delegate? Tell me, tell me. I would love to know.

What resources do you have? I talked about Rev.com for helping me birth my new book that's in the series coming through, because I dictate things and then I go through and edit, et cetera.

Who do you use for delegating? Do you have a VA? Do you have a nanny? Do you use oDesk? Who do you know who helps you delegate?

Share the resources. Let's come together as a tribe so that we can all bring in the vision that we're seeing together because this is a year of togetherness. Let's do it. Okay? Subscribe on YouTube so you get your Love Letter first every week and I'll see you soon.

The post Love Letters | Time to Delegate! 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.

Manifesting something big in your life, like a new job, romance, car, success, etc.?

Burning love candles, reciting abundance mantras and writing goal cards to no avail?

Wish that the Universe would hurry up already and give you what you want?

Conjuring our visions in to physical form is called "manifesting" -- a practice made popular by the movie "The Secret" and Law of Attraction studies.

However, most people don't realize that manifesting takes time and dedication, and this can result in doubt and impatience.

Watch this week's 8-minute Love Letter to get the cure for impatience while manifesting!

"I wrote my goal card. Now what?"

This week, Source wants you to know about impatience.

A lot of us in the tribe are very familiar with the law of attraction and manifesting, doing all those kinds of really cool things to bring into physical reality that which you desire, that which you've been visioning, and really wanting.

We're well versed in bringing things in through different forms of magical techniques; perhaps through writing goal cards, or doing divination with oracle cards, or sending reiki and healing energy to the vision that you have.

There are so many different ways for doing manifesting work.

There's even stuff from the movie "The Secret" (and the book) such as writing out a check from the universe, making vision boards, doing affirmations, listening to binaural beats with theta waves and isochronic tonal pulses to really program you to attract that which you desire and that which you're looking to manifest.

It runs the gamut, whether it's through just regular techniques or even more magical ways such as doing spells, et cetera.

All that stuff is good, but there comes a point when you say to yourself, "That's all fun and cool. Yeah, I wrote my goal card, I wrapped it in tinfoil, put it in the freezer. Now what?"

It's impatience time.

We just really wanted to talk to you this week about honoring and being with your impatience.

In the energy the angels are saying that impatience is a symptom of not being present.

There are things going on in this present moment, there is a vortex of experience.

Juicy, delicious, amazing, blissful experience - right here and now.

This current moment is full of so much powerful data that your brain and your body can be processing and enjoying, rather than focusing all of its energy upon being impatient and being in the future.

Be kind to yourself.

If you are feeling impatient during your manifestation process this is the best time to work on getting into the vortex.

What is the vortex?

The vortex is a feeling space -- a high vibrational, positive feeling space -- that is a bridge from the non-physical into the physical.

It is the meantime: imagine a vortex right here between what you're envisioning and what you're experiencing. The meantime, the transit, is the vortex.

It's a positive, joyful, happy, appreciative, grateful, high vibrational and hopeful "feeling bridge," if we were to call it that.

The best thing for you to do if you're experiencing impatience is to get into the vortex, Your vortex.

And I know that right now quite a few  of you in the tribe are feeling impatient, especially if you're a business owner, and you're taking a big leap of faith on whatever it is that's your next initiative.

Or on the flip side, you're in a relationship and in that in-between phase of "I don't know what we are exactly," and there's the impatience of: "He's the one. When's he's going to change? When's she going to commit?"

And all of those other awesome impatient explod-ey thoughts and feelings run through your head over and over, right?

Know this: Impatient? Now's the perfect time to practice mindfulness. Enter the present moment #meditation @SenseiWhitfield

"Calm down", Source says, "Come back to the present moment."

Appreciate and enjoy the vortex that is right here.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling now. This is booty kicking deck -- "Indigo Angel', by Doreen Virtue. One of 16 oracle cards decks and counting, here at the dojo, pretty much all of them have been donated.

If you'd like to donate some, send them on over in the mail!

Let's see what the angels have to say for this week in particular about dealing with being impatient, by asking: "Angels of communication and guidance, Archangel Gabriel please let us know, what do we need to understand right now about impatience?"

I'm getting such a strong vibe... The card reads: You are not alone. 

And in the energy I'm hearing, Archangel Gabriel saying, in particular:

When you are feeling impatient it's because you are assuming 100% of the responsibility for this experience right now.

Even if you're in a long-term relationship with another person, or a budding relationship where you don't even know if it's a relationship yet, take a step back and check if you are creating the relationship in your head.

Some examples of creating the relationship fall under "jumping the gun" so-to-speak in your expectations, such as asserting: "I know what I'm going to wear at the wedding," or, "This is something that is going to heal them, because they have to heal, and when they do that for me everything is going to be amazing."

Whoa, there! You're too focused on the future.

Relax. Come back.

Everything that you want, everything that you desire, has been clearly expressed by your spirit.

Right here and now be kind to yourself.

Come out of your head, where you feel alone at, and into the present moment.

How do you enter the present moment?

Through your five senses -- ask yourself: What colors are you experiencing? What smells? What sounds? What sensations?

The five senses -- and the sixth, when you get the hang of her 😉 -- are really great ways to ground and root you back into the present moment, so that you can relax your grip on your sense of impatience.

Source is coming in with 1 final bit of advice.

Know how to get into the vortex.

There are things that make you extremely happy, and your assignment for this week is to write a list of 10 things that make you happy.

If I could rattle some of mine off right now:

I love bubbles, I love dancing, I love singing, I love hugging people, I love giving advice, I love meditating, I love oracle cards, I love running, and walking, I love watching movies, I love hearing my nephew speak to me and tell me all about his day.

Those are just 10 things, right off the top of my head that would throw me into the vortex. Most of which are actually completely free.

That's what I would challenge you to do.

What are things that put you in the vortex that you could do to help focus on those things instead of focusing on being impatient?

The post Love Letters | Impatience and Manifesting appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Find yourself or others saying you're too busy lately?

Wondering why there's never enough hours in the day?

Wish you had more time but don't know how to get it?

The guides have a bit of tough love for you this week around stopping being "too busy."

And it actually doesn't have to do with how many things are on your To-Do List.

Watch this week's 11-minute love letter video to discover what being "too busy" actually means!

"I'm working twice as hard as anyone else I know."

This week in particular my guides have been sharing with me a little bit of an uncomfortable message to hear as well as to relay, so get ready.

You are not too busy, you're actually lazy.

Oh man, so this is a bit of a tough love message and I know this is the last thing that if you are super in it, super crazy busy, the last thing that you want to hear is, "What, I'm lazy? I'm working twice as hard as anybody else in my sphere. My family, my clients, my coworkers, all depend on me. My classmates, etc. My siblings, my parents."

This is where being the messenger gets a bit sticky so if this bothers you, I'm not going to apologize. I'm actually just going to acknowledge you might be bothered and actually that's a a good thing. This is what the guides tell me.

It's important for you to feel a bit agitated with being busy rather than, "Oh, this is just how it is," because that's actually not healthy.

When we find ourselves telling others, "Oh, I'm too busy to do that" or find ourselves hearing our loved ones or people within our sphere saying, "Oh you've been really busy lately or you're too busy or you might be getting a little bit too busy," this is what that actually means about you.

One, and this is according to the guides, it's a symptom of having poor boundaries, poor personal boundaries where you've over committed, over scheduled, and therefore overwhelmed yourself by saying yes to more projects than should be on your plate or more than are humanly possible, right?

And not said no or said no to things that could have really, so not said no to things that could hurt you and said no to things that could help you.

It's interesting channeling about this because total transparency, this is sometimes busyness and dancing with busyness versus business is a dance that I am personally going through right now.

It's not that I've mastered this. I'm just here to channel to you what my guides have been ministering to me about so that we all can walk our paths, our healing paths together. My journey is mine, yours is yours and we're all on healing journeys so let's share this wisdom.

Know this: Saying you're "too busy" actually says you're too lazy to work smarter rather than harder.

So there are things that could have helped you that you said no to such as maybe an intern or someone offering to help or seeing a help wanted ad or hearing a friend say, "You know, I really would like to get into this industry but I just don't have enough experience. I think I might intern somewhere." The family up the street says, "My teen doesn't really haven't enough to do. We're thinking of having her babysitting more."

There's opportunities to receive support and those are just a few examples that when someone says, "Oh, can I carry your bag for you, miss?" or "Hey, bro, is it all right if I hold the door open for you?" "No, no, no, I got it."

Saying no when you actually could have received help is a sign of poor boundaries actually, and then saying yes to something that shouldn't even have been on your plate in the first time because you want to impress everybody and seem like you got it together, taking care of business.

Then you're just overwhelming yourself and setting a standard of expectation that this person is over the top in their ability to make things happen so let's depend on this person, you, being over the top all the time. No bueno, not good.

Be kind to yourself.

This week in particular the guides say you gotta stop that. Also saying or hearing this too busy paradigm is a sign of poor time management skills where your concept of time is completely off.

Now blessed be, one of the spiritual symptoms of a crown chakra awakening is actually no concept of time because in spiritual truth there's no such thing as time. However here in 3D reality meaning the physical mundane realm, we all abide by this weird man-made concept such as time.

So to be kind to yourself noticing that as we shape and move this idea of time, it's a limited resource that we're working with, and having strong time management skills allows you to be a normal, relaxed, flowing open human being.

Then lastly, this too busy paradigm also has to do with being too distracted by the details and shoving all of your energy into the details work to be open enough and receptive enough to effectively utilize all the resources that are around you. There's a certain level of support you require in order to live the life you desire.

Affirmation: I am open to receiving the level of support I require in order to live and enjoy the life I desire.

That's a tweetable, by the way, and I hear the Oracle cards calling in the energy. One second, we'll bring you on in a sec.

Yes, the details works may feel like: "I'm getting stuff done. Look at my sexy to-do list, has a check-mark here and a cross-out here and a check-mark." I don't know how many videos are channeled on that but it's so satisfying, yes? Closet Type A personalities are like, "Hallelujah" in the background.

I know how you're feeling however it's important for you to begin to build the ability to open up to receiving the support you require in order to live the life that you desire, where you're not too busy to live and enjoy.

The Oracle cards for this week is Archangel Raphael Healing, so this is Healing with the Angels specifically Archangel Raphael, another Doreen Virtue deck here at the Dojo.

Let's see, Archangel Raphael, what do we need to know about healing our relationship with being too busy?

Oh, this said don't shuffle any further. I can't take it ... Home Help.

Dear God and Archangel Raphael, thank you for giving me the courage to ask for and accept help from you, the angels and others in manners regarding my family and home. This is where we're going to end. This is so self-explanatory.

Home Help? Hello? If you're too busy, get some help at home. What comes up for you hearing this in particular? Oh my gosh, what support would you receive if you had a bazillion dollars. Let's just say you hit the lottery. What would be the first help at home in particular you would hire in order to stop being too busy?

Maybe you love what you do but everybody has stuff that they have to do at home so it's important to feel supported at home.

Let's take the money idea off the table because money also doesn't exist. If you hit the lottery, who would you hire? A butler? A cook? The laundry? Whatever, someone, a nanny?

Who would you hire? Post in the comments below.

By the way, if you know someone who's too busy, share this video with them. I think they need some of the same loving energy and inspiration.

Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first every week, all right? And we will see you next time.

By the way, if you were just as surprised as me, just tell me in the comments below. I'd love to hear that. This never gets old.

All right, I will see you soon. Bye.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

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

Stressed about a big upcoming event or project?

Worried that your 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,

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

Feeling like there's never enough hours in the day?

Overwhelmed by all the stuff that has to get done?

Swimming in to-do lists that just keep getting longer and longer?

Source is sounding the alarm that it's time for you to hand off some of those tasks!

But what happens when you're the go-to person for getting things done?

Watch this week's 10-minute love letter to get ready to let go and delegate!

"I feel like I don't have enough time to create."

This week source says it's time for you to have your reminder. Ready?

Delegate. Yay!

This, apparently the guides are, they're ringing this alarm that goes off every so often of, "Oh, you have to delegate." Did you know that?

It doesn't matter if you have a business or don't, have kids or don't, run a team or don't. No. You, if you're watching, you have to delegate. This is your reminder.

There's parts of us are like "Yes!" Then I feel another part of us is like, "No one can do it like me." Right? Totally love that evil part.

Okay. Apparently you are amazing at getting stuff done. You know how to make it work. You're the go to girl, the go to guy. If someone needs help, you're on it.

Now, this, by the way, is for those of you who are in the process of doing something. You've been doing it for a long time, you're amazing at it, or you're okay at it, or it takes a lot of crust to make it happen. You've been working with it.

This is not for those of you who are like, "Oh yay, I get to delegate the thing that I hate that I've never done and I'm never going to do like call my mother. I'm going to delegate that to my kids." No.

This is different. This is not that, or, "Yay, I don't know how to do math. I've never looked at my numbers before. I'm just going to give it away to the first person who's able to take my money." No. This is not for you.

In those instances you don't need to delegate the task, you need to delegate accountability for that task. You need someone to help you learn how to call your mamma, or you need someone to help you learn how to look at your numbers. The guides are saying this week in particular is about delegation. Back to the get-'er-dones out there. If you're a get-'er-doner, whoop, whoop. Yeah, right there with you.

Know this: You must know the difference between delegating a task & delegating accountability. Take #Ownership!

The craziest thing for us in particular, for you and me is being able to hand over something you've been doing for so long because no one else does it like you. Right?

Be kind to yourself because you are creating something really, really big. This is what I'm hearing right now.

You're creating something huge. In order for you to have enough space to birth that creation, that manifestation, that intention into existence, you've got to hand off something else.

Why? Whenever we are doing a task or cleaning the house or finding the sock that matches the other sock, that takes up vital energy that you could be directing towards what you are manifesting.

I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy all ready. The deck, this is the deck that actually, the only one at the dojo that intimidates me.

Angel Answers oracle cards deck. There are yeses and noes as well as maybes or not yet, et cetera. There are very direct answers in this deck. What we're going to do, then, is we're going to ask this deck to play a little bit of Russian roulette. You ready for this?

Is this the week that we need to delegate, angels? Are we delegating this week? You might just get let off the hook with a no. Let's see. Wouldn't that be nice? The cards are kind of intense, here.

There's something better.

Oh, they just said read. Before I read, though, I'll follow guidance, as I always do, but I have to tell you. This is a yes card.

You need to delegate because there's something better. Not only that there's something better for you to be doing with your energy. I'm being real with you.

Let's be honest, there's something better that you could be doing with your energy instead of this activity of washing the dishes over and over or typing out the notes for each and every one of your consulting clients by hand, or transcribing things, et cetera. There's something that you could be doing better. Right?

You're manifesting something big. You've got to open up your bandwidth so that you can be there for the birth.

Also, the guides are saying there's someone who can do it better. Right? If you are typing out the notes on your video or something like that, use Rev.com. I use them. They are fantastic at transcription. That's how you can write books super fast. Wink, there's one coming. Thanks to delegation. Right?

Hand it off, delegate, delegate so that you can birth and bring in what's new and coming in.

I'm going to read this. I know I just ... This is so exciting. I'm so excited I can barely remember what the alphabet is. There's something better.

"Heaven has something wonderful in mind for you, however it's not the same thing that you planned. Ask yourself what you would rather have, the very thing that you're asking for or something that could make you much happier and more fulfilled. Sometimes god has joys in store for us that we could've never imagined on our own. Open your mind and heart to the possibility that you deserve even more than what you're asking for. Trust your angels to guide you in new and exciting directions."

This is where we're going to leave off. You may have planned and put in your schedule or gotten used to the routine of waking the kids up, getting all of the breakfast together, packing everyone's lunch. You may be used to that routine, but guess what?

If you've been asking source, God, et cetera, however you call her by name, right? If you've been asking your creative spirit for solution that is outside your routine, it's out there for you and allow someone else to help you in bringing that into fruition.

Comment below, send me an email back what you're thinking about, what's coming up for you.

What are you going to delegate? What are you going to delegate? Tell me, tell me. I would love to know.

What resources do you have? I talked about Rev.com for helping me birth my new book that's in the series coming through, because I dictate things and then I go through and edit, et cetera.

Who do you use for delegating? Do you have a VA? Do you have a nanny? Do you use oDesk? Who do you know who helps you delegate?

Share the resources. Let's come together as a tribe so that we can all bring in the vision that we're seeing together because this is a year of togetherness. Let's do it. Okay? Subscribe on YouTube so you get your Love Letter first every week and I'll see you soon.

In Love and Light,
