This is your source for channeled holistic stress management techniques, guidance, inspiration and motivation to stay on your path to rapid financial ascension and massive impact as a conscious entrepreneur.</p>
<p>The title of this podcast episode is<span> </span><strong>Your Barefoot Bosslife</strong>.</p>
<p>So, I have to share this with you. I was just jumping into the car now, going to run this wonderful stack of cash over to my landlord because I love paying him in cash for the rent. And it just occurred to me that all of the clients that I have seen this week whether they were in my VIP group of entrepreneurs - called The Visionary Shaman Circle - or whether they were coming in person at The Dojo, or on the phone with me, I noticed they all share a common lifestyle choice, and I do this as well, and this is something that I’ve been doing so much that I kind of take it for granted.</p>
<p>But one of our clients in our VIP group, he is newer to The Visionary Shaman Circle and so I mean, this practice, that we all have been taking for granted, it’s really changing his life. I mean, I swear to Goddess, I need to find a screen cap of the first video call that he came on what he looked like versus the video call that he was on afterwards because just he is glowing, he is much more confident and expressive. And it’s all because he started doing what we’re all doing, unconsciously.</p>
<p>Let's talk about it!</p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Are you putting off living life unapologetically?<br />
</em></span></h2>
<h2>Do you believe others can pursue their passions and dreams now, but not you?</h2>
<h2>Feel like you'll have permission to be yourself "later" - like when you get the perfect job, spouse, baby, retirement, body, etc.?</h2>
<p>Most sensitive entrepreneurs put off living life fully and openly for fear of criticism, shaming and judgement.</p>
<p>And these low-vibrational feelings distract us empathically from the reasons why we must show up in life and business unapologetically, now.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week’s 11-minute Love Letter, the first installment in our 5-week series, to remember why you must live your life unapologetically.</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-4521"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"Welcome to a brand new you!"</b></span></em></p>
<p><strong>This is a brand new five-week deep dive series that we're going to be doing on the topic of living an unapologetic life.</strong> Every year, I pick a word that is the theme for the year for me personally. Last year, my theme was <em>Supported;</em> how I want to feel. This year in particular, <em>Unapologetic Ease</em> is actually the full intention and sensation that I'm going for this year in particular. My guide said, “Let's start off the year bringing in the entire tribe around what it looks like and what's at stake behind living life <em>unapologetically</em>.”</p>
<p><strong>As you know, by now, when we do these multi-week deep dive series, it's so that you and I can have time to really get into the nuts and bolts of these topics.</strong> Also, we always begin with why. We start with why because we're conjuring energy, we're conjuring attention and focus around this new learning topic. If you're looking to start new projects and generate energy, you start with why. There are other reasons for you to start with why, such as: getting clear on what you're passionate about, clarifying focus and reeling in, honing in energy not just of your own but also of your team around you. So starting with why rocks!</p>
<p><strong>This week, let's look at <em>why</em> you should live life unapologetically.</strong> Here's the thing: When we live life apologetically, we go throughout our days and go throughout our businesses, our meetings, our relationships, even the thoughts that we think in our heads going round and around thinking, “I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry,” or, “This is a really sorry circumstance,” or the wah-wah kind of energy is what follows us around when we live life apologetically. Even when we're trying to get to our seat in the movie theater, we say repeatedly:“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” Is this you? Is that just your automatic thing to say, "I'm sorry", when someone calls on you or when you have a question or when you call someone up or think … Is that the way that you meet the world, as "<em>I'm sorry?"</em></p>
<p><strong>If the way that you are meeting the world is leading with I'm sorry, then you are automatically blocking all the love, all the abundance, the support and healing that Source is pouring on you.</strong> Write this down: Saying I'm sorry means don't support me, I'm bad. Saying I'm sorry means don't support me because I'm bad.</p>

<p><strong>You should not be full of shame in the way that you meet the world.</strong> The reason why we want to live life unapologetically is so that you have all the energy that you need to meet life confidently and full of joy, full of radiance. We need your light.</p>
<p><strong>Healers, you've got to meet the world unapologetically because you have a powerful, powerful purpose, and we need you now more than ever.</strong> Entrepreneurs, you're here to solve problems. You're a problem solver. You've seen an issue and you're like, “Oh, I have a solution.” We need you to come to life unapologetically because there's plenty of problems out there that if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have the solution for.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>It's time for you to come out of your shell and step into life unapologetically. Why? Because we need YOU.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Now, also, be kind to yourself if you think that you should stave off living life unapologetically until retirement or on, “When I get married, I'll be unapologetic about myself. That's when I can let myself go.”</strong> By the way, it’s not how that works, or, “Maybe when I get that big client, I can finally book a massage because I don't deserve self-care until I make a certain amount of money.” No. Oh my goodness. Be kind to yourself if you're pushing off living life unapologetically. "I'm not going to travel the world until I’ve retired at 67 or 72 or whenever the years are when I'm too tired to really be going around the world, yeah, that's when I'll live life unapologetically." Or "I’ll wait until I'm older to be taken seriously because I'm a female or I'm a young man or whatever, and that means because I'm young or because I'm female, that means you can't really take me seriously."</p>
<p><strong>Stop apologizing. Why are you living life unapologetically? You have a purpose now. You can live life like you mean it. You can live life like you own it now, and we need you now.</strong> We needed you, as they say in New York. We needed you yesterday. Let's make a commitment this week in particular to invoke this concept of living life unapologetically. For the next five weeks, we're going to dive deep into it. Are you ready?</p>
<p>Accompanying us on our journey into living life unapologetically is the oracle cards deck <em>Daily Guidance From Your Angel</em>s by Doreen Virtue, one of the many oracle cards decks. You can send in your donation deck to the dojo. Go ahead to naturalintuition.com and look for the <a href="http://www.victoriawhitfield.com/contact">Contact page</a>, my mailing address is there. Thank you to all my loves who sent in donation decks. It's amazing. You should see how many people have been benefiting from your generosity. I’ll try to post more pictures. I'm not going to apologize though. Yes, yes. Okay.<em> Angels, what do we need to know this week in particular about why we need to live life unapologetically?</em> Oh, that felt strong.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Perfect Timing.</strong></span></p>
<p><em><strong>Perfect Timing: Now is the perfect moment for you to act on your inspirations. The doors are open while you walk through them with us by your side. Don't delay or procrastinate as all of the ingredients are ripe for your success. Everything and everyone is on your side supporting your positive outcome.</strong></em></p>
<p>Where we're going to leave off this week is that why should you live an unapologetic life is because Now is the time. There are opportunities, the angels are saying, that, if you have the confidence and the presence and the energy to step into, your whole life would change, and so will the lives of all those around you, in your community, in your family, on your team. We need you now. Can you see that first word? Now is the perfect moment. Now more than ever.</p>
<p><strong>Go ahead, type in the comments below how is this perfectly on time, this topic of living life unapologetically.</strong> We are walking into this as a new year - regardless of when you're watching or reading this, by the way. At the time that this airs, it will be a new year in 2018, but we are walking into this new year as if Now is when we're worthy, Now is when we can live life unapologetically.</p>
<p>What would that mean to you? Go ahead and type in the comments below. I want to hear it. I want to read it. Share, send me videos back, send me an e-mail back at info@victoriawhitfield.com. That comes straight to me. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every week and I will see you next time for part two of five. See you soon. Bye.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Feeling isolated by your business or position at work? </em></span></h2>
<h2>Do your coworkers drain you with negativity and drama?</h2>
<h2>Wondering why you are secretly lonely, even though you work with a good team and serve or interact with tens or even hundreds of happy clients and customers each week?</h2>
<p>Entrepreneurs and business owners are a special, rare breed of professional -- we are naturally wired to be creative and driven leaders.</p>
<p>And sometimes, it gets lonely being at the leading-edge of the business; pulling the business forward can be both exciting and exhausting if you're the only visionary on board.</p>
<p><strong>Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the first of a new 4-week series on the Power of Positive Community, to start shifting your workplace from negative to positive!<br />
</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-5459"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><b>"I feel lonely since starting my own business."</b></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This week is the first of a four, brand new four-week deep-dive on the power of positive community.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> I really love taking time to cover these concepts with you in depth, so rather than just doing one video at a time, right? We're going to give you concepts, bite-sized, all right, to meditate on one week at a time, so that by the end of our four-week journey together, you will feel much more grounded in enjoying, receiving and experiencing the power of positive community. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you've seen our series of videos before, ye hey, thank you for your support. Thank you. Thank you. Make sure you're subscribed on YouTube though. If you haven't yet, let's get to it.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> As usual, our first of the four weeks, right? First of the four weeks is going to cover why. Why on earth this month in particular are the guides calling for us to consider the power of positive community?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now, I specialize in helping entrepreneurs heal. What happens in our journey of entrepreneurship is that it is a powerful journey of self-actualization, personal development, right, self-worth, yes? Has this happened to you? Send me an e-mail back or comment below. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">If your journey owning your own business and working for yourself has really been about personal development, not just making money, all right? So with that, what happens over time is that we can get to be a little bit isolated. Let's take you to a bit of the dark side of entrepreneurship and business ownership.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Not everybody is a business owner, so owning your own business, creating your own schedule, creating your life by design ... Creating your life by design, that can, one, take a lot of energy and a lot of pressure. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Lastly, it can be isolating. You know, entrepreneurs, self-employed, owners are some of the loneliest people on the planet even though we end up seeing and interacting with the most people who, like me, may have hundreds of contacts or thousands of connections and things like that, that you're influencing on a monthly, weekly, maybe even daily basis - or even thousands and millions.</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/1dGc6">Know this: #Entrepreneurs and #business owners are some of the loneliest people on the planet, though they may serve thousands. Make time for #positive community!</a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/1dGc6"><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"> At the same time, for ourselves, we are a unique breed of entrepreneurs and business owners. You can't really go out and talk about the types of issues, emotionally and spiritually, that come up to just anybody when we're talking about owner-level issues, right? Talking about cashflow, how that's affecting your self-image and waking up, as one of my mentors say, with 3:00 a.m. sweats. </span>Right? That's her phrase.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>Those types of concepts, not everyone understands. </strong>Uniquely has business owners and entrepreneurs do, and we can get so focused in our journey to serving others in our highest purpose that we forget to connect with other loves who are similar to us, right? Black sheep tends to hang out by himself and surrounded by white sheep, but you're not the only black sheep out there. This month in particular, starting this week in particular, the guides want you to invoke, remember and stand in the power of positive community.</p>
<p class="p1">Now, let's be even more specific. We want positive community, not negative community. The broader social norm is to relate according to problems, right, and negativity or things that make us angry and frustrated, right? We connect around or struggling, and oh, you struggle about the same thing or will even get attracted to people who, oh, you feel that life is so hard for you. Let's make a baby and be together for a whole bunch of decades, right? Be kind to yourself, and let's see what's this situation right now. I understand. Been there, done that, got the scar.</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> With that, when you are a spiritually-awakened entrepreneur, it becomes even more important to surround yourself with similar sparkly black sheep just like you so that you can feel safe and empowered on your path to creating your life by design. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The love association states that you become the sum total, the median of the five people that you listen to and hang out the most with. If you have five kids, yes, you're going to be saying the same words and thinking about the similar things and listening to similar music and watching the same movies, reading the same books. It's just what's going to happen, right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">In business, you have the same median income of the five people that you are listening to and interacting with the most professionally. Did you catch that?</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Here's the thing. If you're hanging around people, to all my business owners, who don't have clients and who are struggling and are talking about the struggle or frustrated, right? All these low-vibrational mindset, it's going to affect your income but also your health. It's not just ... I mean when you're talking to a business owner, if you talk about money, they're going to listen, yes, and we have to understand, life is holistic. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Money's just a symptom of a greater issue, and this month in particular, if you've been having cashflow problems or relationship flow problems or even health flow problems, we're going to look at how's your community doing? How are you surrounding yourself with positive uplifting energy?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> I'm hearing the oracle cards sparkling in the energy around that. Let me come in a little bit closer for the reading, tah-dah, the fairies, Healing With The Fairies. One of God-knows-how-many oracle decks that we have here at the dojo. Oh my goddess, but we're going to be journeying with the fairies all month. Fairies, guides and guardians, what do we need to know right now about the power of positive community?</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Oh, quiet time, and this is where we're going to leave off this week in particular. How you feel is what matters most. What matters most is how you feel, and you can tell by how you feel when you are in your quiet time. How much quiet time you get and how quality your quiet time is. This week in particular, I want you to look at who? Who are you spending your time with during quiet time? Is it just by yourself? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Are there any groups, books, programs, right, podcasts and things that you consume when it's time for you to receive? Quiet time is receptive time. This month, we're going to learn how to receive on an exponential level, opening up to positive community.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Go ahead. Type in the comments below or send me an e-mail back. What's coming up for you, hearing all of these? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first every single week, all right? We'll see you next time for week two of four. Ready for it? Mwah. See you then.</span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em><span style="color: #000000;">Have you ever felt helpless?</span><br />
</em></span></h2>
<p><em>And did that experience warp your ability to trust yourself and others?<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Concerned that you can't tell the difference between self-care and self-sabotage because of what happened to you?<br />
</em></p>
<p>Sometimes bad things happen to good people... I know.</p>
<p>Yet Source wants you to know that all things can - and do - work together to form greater good in our lives.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><span style="color: #000000;">Watch this week's 11-minute Love Letter to hear my story of overcoming a very dark time in my life and how I healed from cycles of self-sabotage to embracing a lifestyle of self-care and healing.</span><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-3866"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em><b>"I only smoke because it helps me cool off."</b></em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We're continuing the series, sourced this time around has asked to continue you and I building a deeper relationship and a deeper understanding about certain concepts that come up in our spiritual lives. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>This series is going to be a five week series around the dark side of self-care. Woohoo. I'm so excited.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> I am so excited to bring you to the dark side of self-care. What that basically looks like is self-sabotage. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;">Now this first week in particular the guides have asked me to share more of my story. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I just finished a session with a new client. I'm so excited for her. It's amazing what inspires people to begin their healing journey. She's beginning a new six month healing journey, Sojourner healing journey, which means she's coming in for an hour, a private hour a month for me. She also gets unlimited meditation classes here at the dojo.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> It's so interesting to hear people's stories of what inspires them to begin to heal. What motivates you to really begin healing. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It was just fascinating sharing with her some of my story of what caused me to get into all of this in the first place. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Believe it or not, it comes from actually my pain. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;"><strong>Simon Sinek, very beautifully says that your big why comes from your pain more often than not.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> For me, it was a series of three breakups that caused me to break open. The first one was someone that I thought I was going to be with. The whole soulmate situation that you think you have and then turns out sleeping with your coworker and calls you on your wedding day to ask how are you? One. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Two, the next one broke me open again because of the color of my skin. He had decided that we couldn't be together because of the color of my skin. That also compounded my perspective. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Then unfortunately the third one that really broke me open was when I got date raped. Yes, I'm sharing that with you. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">No, I'm not happy about what happened to me. I honor the fact that these were the events that grabbed my attention that something is not quite right. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now maybe you grew up with a history of abuse or maybe you grew up with alcoholic parents or that sort of a thing. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;">Something happened in our lives that forced us to take a stand and say, <em>"Wait a minute. I don't like this. I don't like this."</em> Right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It's those moments where you put your foot down and say, <em>"No more. I'm not going to be beaten anymore"</em> or, <em>"I'm not going to select people who would do these kinds of things to me anymore." </em></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> One of my first spiritual teachers her question to me, that changed my life, was: "what is the pattern in you that's creating this situation?"</strong><br />
</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> This is where we get into our five week deep dive around self-sabotage. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> When I look back into those dark times in my life where I would have suicidal thoughts and would be sleeping at around 22 hours a day, only getting up to go to the bathroom and have a sip of water, trying to escape, escape, escape there were things that I was doing to self-soothe that within my compressed mindset I thought were good for me. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;">When you have a compressed, like as in a really limited mindset, bad stuff you can't really tell that that's bad for you. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Some of the ways that I used to self-soothe but actually turned out being self-sabotage ... Well, one it was the constant sleeping. Also, I used to chain-smoke Clove cigarettes, the black ones. Like talk about breathing death. Emotional stuffing. I used to live on Twix and Chex-Mix and nothing else except for Captain Morgan's spiced rum and Malibu coconut rum. I remember. I'm so happy that I'm sober now.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> There's these things that, <em>"I'll just have a drink so that I can soothe"</em> or escape, get rid of this negativity, or, <em>"Let me go have a smoke. Let me cool off."</em> Or, <em>"Let me just check out."</em> There's so many things that we do to soothe ourselves that within a limited and a compressed point of view feel pleasurable and we interpret them as good even though they're working against us.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now there was also another form of self-sabotage I would do at the time. I would work around 12 hours or so a day at a really, really toxic job. Like screaming bosses that were financial abusers as in dangling your pay check over your head in order to get you to do things that are completely outside of your principles. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #000000;"><span class="s1">Be kind to yourself if as I invoke the darker side of my story that this is resonating for you like, <em>"Ooh, ooh, I still do some of that, Victoria"</em> ... This is not to say like,<em> "I'm good and you're bad."</em> No. </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> I want you to know that I've been through some things and when I'm going to talk to you over the next few weeks around self-sabotage versus self-care there's some history there. I'm only tapping on the tip of the iceberg here with respect to your energy.</span></p>

<span style="color: #ffffff;">--</span><br />
My story is my story and it's made me who I am. </strong>Here's the light in the darkness is that when you start self-soothing you can choose to raise the vibration of the forms of self-soothing that you do. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">For example, I remember even when I was still chain-smoking I started learning more about crystals and oracle cards.<em> "Well, you know, maybe this will help me feel better."</em> It was something positive about these cards or I feel the energy when I'm holding this crystal. I don't know what the heck it is. I'm going to get into that in the next few weeks. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;"> That was the turning point. It was following things that brought me joy and uplifted me in the self-soothing cycle. It's natural. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I want you to know this and watch this in yourself this week. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Watch the way that you soothe yourself, whether it's positive or negative. Just notice how do you soothe yourself when you're feeling bored, when you're feeling depressed, empty, anxious, angry, unacknowledged, lonely, et cetera. How do you soothe yourself? It is positive things? Or negative? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Most of us have a mixture of both. By the way, at the filming of this video I still have some not so good things, such as eating chocolate and ice cream, that is harmful against my body. As well as doing hours of meditation, grounding out in nature, doing reiki. I have a mixture. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is called being human. I want us to have a deep dive now for the next five weeks around honoring that self-care versus self-sabotage dance that we're all doing. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;"><strong> I know that you're doing it. If you clicked play on this video chances are you're a natural empath. </strong>You're already sensitive to the energy and trying to figure out how to cope with all this energetic overload. We're going to confront this head-on. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We're going to dive deep together. I can't wait to see you next week and hear what you think.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Comment below. Tell me what's coming up for you around this. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Do you have a story that you wanted to share, by the way? Did my story bring up some of yours? I would love to witness you in sharing your story, privately, just to honor you. We don't want to post all that out in social media and all over the place.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Send me an email back and let me know and I'd be happy to set up a share your story call so that we can hold space for you speaking your truth for the first time. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #000000;"><strong>I know it's tough. I feel you but we're going to get through this together.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Are you ready for this? Five weeks. Five weeks. Let's do this. Self-care versus self-sabotage. Going to the dark side. Whoop, whoop. Shining light so that we can all grow together. I'm sending you so much love and I'll see you next week. Bye. </span></p>

<h2><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kFcMWYRneN0?rel=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Do you identify as a High-Achiever, or goal-oriented?</em></span></h2>
<h2>Are you always pushing yourself to get more things done and slaying your To-Do Lists?</h2>
<h2>And when things aren’t going as expected, do you feel frustrated or like you’re “not good enough”?</h2>
<p>They say that life is not about the destination: it’s about the Journey.</p>
<p>But this aphorism poses a problem when we are taught to value being an Achiever in life and business.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>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!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-5339"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"As soon as I complete a task, I feel like I have to jump to the next."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">We are on week two of four exploring how to awaken your Shaman within in your business. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>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.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">This week in particular we're looking at the power of achieving versus journeying in business.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> 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. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> 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.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> 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.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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.</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/Zq4ml">‪Know this:Achievers can get addicted to valuing quantity over quality of life and #business. Shift your #mindset to value quality first! 🙏</a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/Zq4ml"><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"><strong><span class="s1"> 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.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> 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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So this week in particular, the Guides are asking you to adopt the journey-centric mindset as opposed to the achievement-centric mindset. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>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?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> 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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> 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?</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> 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.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> 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.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">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.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> 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? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Are you appreciating and present to all of the brilliance along the way?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">With that in mind, we will see you next week. The universe agrees. We'll see you soon. Bye.</span></p>

<h2><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KxTlrcKgxU8?rel=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Do you seldom feel truly rested?</em></span></h2>
<h2>Is it hard for you to relax, because you secretly think it’s a waste of time?</h2>
<h2>Wish you could increase your productivity and your wellness, instead of trading one for the other?</h2>
<p>Type-A personalities tend to have a hard time really resting and feeling relaxed because they’re wired to value getting as many things done as possible above their feelings and wellbeing.</p>
<p>This can lead to chronic anxiety and stress, as well as cycles of depression and burnout if left unchecked.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the third in our 4-week series on Your Daily PRP’s, to put an end to this vicious cycle and instead adopt a practice of restful productivity.<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-5246"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"I feel lazy when I take breaks."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is week three of four in our four-week series on Your Daily PRPs.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> If you don't know what PRP stands for, stop the video now and go back to week one where we explained exactly what PRPs are and why you need them. So, without further ado, if you do know what's going on, this week in particular we're going to cover the second letter in that acronym PRP, the R which stands for "Rest."</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The reason why we get our daily PRP nutrition in is so that you have the energy and the stamina to pursue your passion and purpose for the long haul. This, when you implement is as a proactive regularized practice, whether it is on a daily basis or weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, right? However you schedule it in for yourself, it will stave off or even put an end to cycles of burnout, being overworked, feeling cranky, overwhelmed, and pushing yourself past your limit.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> In particular, this week that we're talking about with rest is having restful productivity. I know that kind of sounds like an oxymoron, if I have any of my type As watching. Yay. All my creepy control enthusiasts, all my perfectionistas, yes, yes, where everything has got to be perfect. Be kind to yourself if that's you.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You might be burning the candle at both ends by adopting the type A, get it done perfectly as fast as possible, as efficiently as possible all the time. There's a way to be restful and productive at the same time.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> Now, my guides have given me a four-step process to share with you this week in particular so that you can get to implementing restful productivity, so that you have the stamina to pursue your passion and purpose for the long haul. You ready for it?</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Number one, unplug. Write this down, by the way. Get a pen and pad or open up another window, whatever you guys do or ... inscribe it on your brains. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>Number one, unplug. In order to rest but also to be fully productive, your ability to focus, not just on a mental level but also a physical level is called for and unplugging is necessary. What does that mean? No TV, phone, tablet, laptop, computer, no plugging into technology. The less technology period you can be around ...</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1">I was just talking about stuff that makes you connected to the worldwide webs-y things and cables and stuff. But if you wanna go completely native and have candlelight and all of that, the campfire, great. But, for those of us who are not able to do that, just unplug. Make it a point to unplug so that you can be focused on being restfully productive.</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/ev46r">‪Know this: You can be restful AND productive.</a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/ev46r"><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"><strong> Secondly, and this takes courage, it's time for you to rage. So, how are you going to rage? For some people it's getting at that heavy bag, and pow, pow, pow, pow. Let that bag have what it had coming! But, I also highly recommend that you use a written medium for your rage. So, have a rage journal. I have a rage journal, by the way.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Or, grab a piece of toilet paper and start writing on that, all the things that you hate, that annoy you, that make you angry, and cranky and frustrated. Write it out, write it out, write it out. Or, all those extra brown paper bags, time to write all over them. Write of all the things that you wanna get out of you and rage about. This is cathartic clearing. So, that's really going to help you be restful but it's also productive because you're bringing stuff up and out, getting it out of you.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1"> Thirdly, is to release. The way that you release this practice is you can close the journal and leave it behind for a little bit, if you are okay with that. Or, if you need ultra secrecy take that toilet paper, flush it down the toilet. Let the crap go where it's supposed to, down the toilet pipes, right? Or, with your brown paper bag, rip it up into tiny pieces or even throw it in the fire pit and watch it burn. Bye-Bye! Right? Burn that crusty crap away.</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So, release all of that energy that came out of you. Then leave it be. That you could do it for an hour, leave it be for an hour afterward, or even entire day, or week, who knows? What's important is the fourth and final step, and this is what makes it super productive, is to review. What came out of you, what you raged about, what makes you angry is actually what I call a dark gift, meaning a gift that comes in a darker kind of, not very attractive package, right? It's a learning gift. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> So, the things that you raged about are signs and hints at where your boundaries are being overstepped. If you have any boundaries with love, right? Where you need more support in your life, in your business, or in your relationships. Where your desires are not being met. There's so much clarity that comes from raging and releasing and the review, that's fourth and final step, is essential for you grounding and receiving all of the gifts that came out of this restful productivity process at the end.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So, this is how to find your way through the resting process. Those of us who are type As, we tend to go on vacation, or enjoy the spa or have downtime and we're being as productive and go, go, go, as possible. We can't seem to turn off, can't seem to let go, because we gotta do everything on the list that we said we were going to do.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> The reason why that happens is because you have pent up rage that you haven't released yet. So, this is your four steps process to be restful and productive. And you can do this. You can work it in, in many ways on a daily basis, in a little bit bigger ways on a weekly basis, more of a significant time space on the monthly or quarterly basis or once a year. Give yourself a bunch a time to really enjoy the sacred process.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So, I'm hearing the oracle cards calling in the energy. This month in particular we're journeying all month with the romance angels, another Doreen Virtue oracle cards deck. Thank you for your donations. Always welcome to receiving more. So, angels, what do we need to know right now about restful productivity as our daily PRP? Calling in your soulmate. Calling in your soulmate. Your prayers, affirmations, and visualizations help bring you together. This is where we're going to leave off for the week.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> The reason why calling in your soulmate is coming up, is because when we clear our energy, when we clear all of that rage and inflammatory thoughts and feelings, when we release our emotions, we create the space to receive our divine partnerships. First with ourselves! Remember, all of this is really about your relationship with you. But, also, for those around us we're more receptive to their love and their support, whether it's in personal or professional relationships.</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> So, calling in a partner who's able to meet those needs that you discovered weren't being met yet, starting with you being that partner for you. Comment below, send me an email back. What comes up for you around that? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Are you going to do some productive rest time? </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Let me know how that goes. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first every week, and we'll see you next time. Bye!</span></p>

<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Do you work hard and play hard?</em></span></h2>
<h2>And when you do, do you tend to overdo both?</h2>
<h2>Feeling annoyed that you work hard all the time and find yourself having less and less fun in life?</h2>
<p>It seems that the minute we become adults that play loses its status as top-priority in day-to-day life.</p>
<p>We are told that play is silly, irresponsible and a waste of time, and somehow we believe it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week’s 10-minute Love Letter video, the second in our 4-week series on your daily PRP’s, to shift your mindset to be play-positive and bring back the joy and fun in your life!<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-5142"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"I've lost my sense of adventure."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is week two of four of our deep dive into PRPs, your daily PRPs. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Last week we defined exactly what is a PRP and why do you need it. We always start with why. If you have no idea what happened, stop now and go back. Go back and watch the previous video.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You can find it on YouTube or on my blog. The link should be somewhere, wherever you clicked. With that being said, this week let's talk about the first of that acronym, PRP. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> So the first word in that is play. What the guides want you to know this week is that you've got to shift your mindset around play. It's time for you to shift your mindset around play. Often we are taught to work hard, play hard, work hard, play hard, work hard, play hard. Right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">That's even a chant sometimes, or even in a Nike video, or something like that, some other marketing, work hard, play hard. It's seen as strong and outgoing and fitnessy to work hard and play hard. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> What does that end up looking like in our lives? So we're working, playing, working, playing, working, playing.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Where we're going, going, going in one direction, and then going, going, going in another. So that, in both directions, whether we're working or we're playing, we're going hard and we're over doing it. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> That is not natural, first and foremost, you gotta hear this. And also that is not compassionate. Lastly, it's not sustainable. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>So, it's time for you to shift your mindset around how you play, instead of working hard and playing hard, this week in particular, and forever more going forward, let's commit to working smart and playing smart. You may have heard before, <em>"Don't work hard, work smart."</em> But, have you also heard, <em>"Don't play hard, play smart,"</em> right?</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The two go together. In nature you never see a plant or an animal or any type of weather pattern, et cetera producing everything it could possibly do, and then dive. Right? Or completely crashing and burning. There is balance.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Think of ocean waves, there is a constant ebb and flow, and because of that there is perpetual motion of the waves washing on the shore. There are seasons, cycles of energy, cycles of temperature, and weather, et cetera that allows for life to perpetuate. There are life cycles where it's a constant.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Your breath is going in and going out, if you only exhaled, what happens? That's what happens. Right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong>That is not natural. And that is not compassionate, and that is not sustainable. So we want you to shift your mindset around how you play. So, working smart, you're a smart cookie, I'm sure you're already working smarter.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Right? You've got life hacks going, you may have hired people or are in the process of looking for people to help you out with texts.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1"> You've got your kids, they cook and they wash clothes. You're working smart, great. Let's turn it up another notch and get you playing smart. So what would that look like? This is a two way conversation, I'm not just teaching at you. Right? This is for your inspiration. Some examples, and I want you to post below, how do you play smart?</span></strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> For this week in particular, I would highly recommend that you intersperse play throughout your day. How can you make your morning and evening commute more playful? How can you add more playful elements to your work space, or even to your meetings? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">How can you add more playful elements to your home life and your personal spaces, or your interactions with your friends? How can you bring play in?</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> For some people that's enjoying toys. Just bringing in something silly, like a slinky and leaving it on your desk at work for people to play with while their talking to you. Right? Or it could be a funny game that you play with your family. It could be enjoying exercise and movement in the middle of the day. Have recess when you go for lunch. Right? Or, listening to comedy as you drive to and from work. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Here's the thing. Remember what we said the first week, reason why we're doing this is so that you have stamina for the marathon of life, stamina for the marathon of pursuing and living your passion and purpose. So, the more play that you integrate throughout the day, the lower your crankiness and resentfulness about going and doing your day to day work will be, because you're having fun.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> That's your challenge for this week. How can you integrate more play? I don't care how old you are or how crusty, crunchy, crotchety, crumply, you are, all the crunchy sounds. I don't care, figure it out. You deserve to play and enjoy every day, rather than once in a blue moon, have some fun. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span class="s1">Know every single day there can be play. How can you integrate more playfulness into your wardrobe, into your marketing materials? To all my entrepreneurs. How can you integrate more playfulness into your day to day life as an essential vitamin, an essential mineral in your daily diet?</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The oracle cards for the week? The romance angels oracle cards deck. Angels, what do we need to know right now about playing? Positive playfulness. Playing smart. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Oh la la. Oh la la. Passion. Something's throbbing, oh my. </span><span class="s1">Allow your heart and soul to sing with joy. Passion, this is where we're going to leave off for the week. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>If your relationship with yourself, yourself first, has lost the fire and the flame and the sparkle, the sense of fun and adventure that you used to have, that creative inspiration or sparkle, if you lost your passion or your mojo, or your juice, however you say it, if you've lost your passion, here's how you start. Here's how you start. Allow your heart and soul to sing with joy. Allow yourself to insert more joy into your day to day.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> How are you going to do it? Comment below. Send me an email back. Make sure you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these love letters first, every week. I'm so excited to see how you play. All right we'll see you next week. Bye.</span></p>

<h2><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fjclIV1Qcjs?rel=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Feeling cranky lately?<br />
</em></span></h2>
<h2>Frustrated that you’re always on the go and never seem to feel “rested”?</h2>
<h2>Find yourself daydreaming about sleeping in, quitting your job or even running away?</h2>
<p>Sounds like you’re exhausted from working too hard!</p>
<p>And not just at work, but also at home, too...</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Watch this week’s 9-minute Love Letter video, the first of our 4-week series, on why it’s time for you to start valuing you “PRP’s” on a daily basis so you can get out of your rut.<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span id="more-5075"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span style="color: #800080;"><b>"It would be lazy for me to take time for play and rest every day."</b></span></em></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This is the first of a four-week installment, a brand-new four-week installment on your PRPs. You down with PRP? Yeah you know me. So good. So, this month and for the next four weeks, whenever you are watching this, we're going to be talking about getting you in-tune with your PRPs. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> And this week we're going to talk about why you need to make time for your daily PRPs. And what does PRP stand for? Play, rest, and pleasure. These are three essential minerals in every healthy entrepreneurial little, in every healthy person's life, on a day-to-day basis.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">You have gotta get play, rest, and pleasure in your daily life. Now, strategically of course we're going to expand that out on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis, right? In increasing doses. But on a daily basis we want to make sure that we create space for your holistic health, with play, rest, and pleasure.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> Why is this important to have daily space for play, rest, and pleasure? Isn't that irresponsible? Isn't that lazy? Isn't that .... What are the? You send me an email back, or a comment below. Tell me what are your inner monkeys saying as to why you can't have your daily PRP time.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now, this is not to say that your entire day, every single day is going to be devoted to getting your three essential nutrients, but most certainly on a daily basis we are going to strategically create time and space. Starting now, and for the next four weeks, shall we? Okay. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> So, the reason why your daily PRPs become so important, is because this is your fuel. This fuels you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We're going to be covering that over the next four weeks, but this why. Your PRPs as essential nutrients to your holistic health power you. You know life is a marathon. Living your purpose and pursuing your passions is a marathon experience.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Now, for most creative types we may think, "All right I'm going to ... at the last minute put everything together." Right? You push the clock, or procrastinate, put things off, and until after the fact or until the 11th hour then maybe I might rest. There's the phrase, "I'll sleep when I'm dead." Well, you know what? If you live that way, you will be getting to sleep faster than you think. Right? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> Burn-out is very real, and it doesn't ever have to be an experience of yours, but if it has, this month in particular, and starting this week in particular. We are going to shut that down.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> This is a writer downer. "Burn out may have happened in my past, but it will not happen in my future." #PRP</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/avAaf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">‪Know this: ‪“#Burnout May have happened in my past, but I will NOT have one in the future.”</a></h2>
<h2 class="p1"><a href="https://ctt.ec/avAaf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><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><strong>Let's do this. So, that's why it's to pro-actively fill your cup on a mental, emotional, and spiritual level. Progressively over time, so that you have creative juices, so that you have the energy to pursue your passions, so that you feel healthy and have a sense of fulfillment in life. You don't have to wait until you're old and retired and can't enjoy life, in order to engage and prioritize your PRPs.</strong></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> With that being said, the oracle cards for the month are calling. And that is the romance angels oracle cards deck. Oh how romantic. So, we're going to be journeying with this deck all month, over the next four weeks, whenever you're watching this. One of many decks. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> You can always hit the contact page on victoriawhitfield.com to find my mailing address. Always receiving donations if you want, or gifts if you'd love to gift me a deck. Yeah. Okay.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Angels what do we need to know right now about why it's so important to work PRPs into our regular diet? This is so powerful. Religious factors. Let's get to it. Your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual past. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Now, by the way this deck talks a lot about relationships and love of course, it's the romance deck. So, for those of you who are single and looking, or single and not looking, remember this is a relationship with yourself, right your inner being. And for those who are in a relationship, remember that this is about your relationship with yourself, and your inner being, as well as your partners or those we are working with.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> Religious factors, your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path. This is where we're going to bring it to at close for the week. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="color: #800080;"><strong> You know, you may have been brought up in a religious, or philosophical, or social system that told you to put others first, to essentially give up your needs, right, to the service of others, right. To give up the pleasures in life, that living in denial of your own sense of play, rest, and pleasure, is holy, or honorable, or like, <em>"Oh you sacrificed for us."</em> Just like this person or these people sacrificed in these stories, according to that religious, or philosophical, or social system that you've been brought up, or psychological system that you've been brought up in, or adopted over time.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">With love, I am not saying that you need to like throw that out of the window, that is at your discretion, that's your relationship between you and God, or you and source, or you and your higher self, your inner self. Right? And I would strongly advise you this week in particular to evaluate how your beliefs about your PRPs on a daily basis, play, rest, and pleasure are effecting your health. Is it serving you or hindering you? </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Type in the comments below. Send me an email back what's coming up for you. Make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get your love letters first, ever week.</strong> </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">I'm looking forward to your responses. Are you read for a deep dive into play, rest, and pleasure? Let's do it. Okay. I'll see you next time. Bye.</span></p>

<h2><strong>The topic that my guides have asked me to cover this time in particular is: losing faith. What to do when you feel like you are losing faith. </strong></h2>
<p>Now, I want to be clear, I am not a business coach, I'm not a marketing guru, I'm not your run-of-the-mill reiki master, and I'm not even a massage therapist or any of that. I'm not any of those things. I'm a Business Reiki Master. So what does that mean? That means I help empathic entrepreneurs and their teams, burnt out business owners, uncertain CEO’s, C-Level executives and their teams to get and stay balanced and clear in mind, body and business. So, although I am not the person who's going to tell you how to write a business plan or how to get your first client, I *am* the person that's going to support you with the energy *behind* doing those tasks - making sure that your vibration, emotion, and your energy is balanced and managed well. That's when these people call me in, specifically during times of transition, when they're losing faith.</p>
<p><strong>In the coming posts we're going to be talking more about the experience of losing faith in yourself, losing faith in your business or the economy, and losing faith in your mission and purpose on Earth, and we will be covering what to do in each and every situation.</strong>So, if you haven't yet, make sure that you subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every single week, and also make sure that you take my quiz so that you have an opportunity to self-assess around where are you at, so you can jumpstart your unique healing journey.</p>
<p>Without further ado, let's get a little bit more into this. Why are we talking about losing faith in particular? Here’s why: my guides have magnetized to me so many people who are brilliant experts who are talented, generous, loving givers, givers, givers. We’ve been taught that “givers gain.” If you know what I'm talking about send me an email back, comment below wherever you're seeing this, type it in, givers gain, if that's something that you live by.</p>
<p><strong>But here's the thing: eventually, if you are not giving <em>and</em>receiving - or if you're not receiving <em>as</em>you give - you will dry out.</strong>Think of it this way - think of yourself as an oil lamp. If you've ever seen an oil lamp, it's this beautiful glass receptacle which has a cotton wick that runs through it, and it's bound at the top so that the wick doesn't fall in, and that receptacle is full of oil, an incendiary flammable substance, but when it's wicked up, or absorbed up the wick, it then becomes fuel for our burning fire. If you light that wick the fire will continue to burn in the oil lamp for as long as there is oil in there.</p>
<p>So for us as empathic entrepreneurs, as spiritual business owners and conscious CEOs, we're giving, giving, giving. We want to take excellent care of our people. Being in charge means taking care of the people who are in our charge. You know this already. And what can happen along the way is that you give to the point where your oil lamp, so-to-speak, is running out, and your light begins to dim.</p>
<p><strong>My guides are asking me to urge you, this week in particular, to ask yourself: “where is my light dimming? Where have I begun to lose faith?” </strong></p>
<p>Are you losing faith in yourself? Are you losing faith in your business or the economy, or your ability to receive and pay out money? Or are you losing faith in your mission, your purpose here on Earth? Those symptoms usually are accompanied by feelings of exhaustion, crankiness, resentment, smiling but behind your smile there's like a sense of “I can't stand this anymore, I don't know how much more I can take,” or feelings of avoidance, procrastination.<br />

<p><strong>Be kind to yourself if this is what you are going through, this month in particular.</strong>I don't know when you'll be watching or reading this. Maybe you're watching and reading it when we first debut these love letters, maybe you'll happen upon this in YouTube or wherever, or someone shared it with you because they love you, but regardless of the time of year you've landed on this video series please know that it's time for you to refill your oil lamp, it's time for you to feed your faith.</p>
<p>We want to honor you wherever you're at if you happen to be losing faith. No judgement here; all love. Perhaps you're watching and reading this because someone that you know and love, or who you work with that who you care about and have seen as a powerhouse before - they've been amazing, but their light is starting to dim. If that’s the case, lets begin to send some healing to them, ok? Let's surround you and your loved ones, your dear coworkers and colleagues in healing white light and positivity, this week, this day in particular.</p>
<p><strong>And without further ado let's get to the oracle cards of the week from <em>Healing with the Angels</em>, the very first oracle deck that Doreen Virtue ever made.</strong>Okay, Angels, what do we need to know right now about this topic of losing faith? Is it okay? What do we need to know in order to begin to restore it? “<em>Nature</em>.” Gorgeous. I'm going to read to you:</p>
<p><em>“Spending time alone in nature is important for you, even five minutes in a garden would be healing for you right now. By drawing this card the angels ask you to interact with nature more often, every day if possible. This card also signifies that you may be happier living in a more rural setting. If you have thought about moving away from city life consider this card as additional validation. Also, this card may be encouraging you to choose an occupation involving plants or animals. For instance, you may enjoy gardening, nursery or veterinary work, pet sitting, or delving into the world of animal communication. Your angels and the nature elements are helping you discover and give your gifts to the world. Help them to help you by spending more time in nature.”</em></p>
<p><strong>And here's where we're going to leave off for this week. As we enter into this more vulnerable topic of losing faith, one way that you can begin to rebuild already before we start talking about more specific ways, is by reconnecting to nature.</strong>Reconnecting to nature. Nature is so healing, right? Maybe you lost a loved one, or maybe a major client fell through. But one simple way that you can begin to restore your faith in yourself, in life, or in business is to step back and appreciate nature. The beautiful thing about plants is that they continue growing. And how animals, they have this beautiful wonder and awe for life, they have this essential beauty and innocence to them. Mountainsides, forests, the beach and the water are all so healing - connect to the beauty of nature and allow it to begin to replenish and refill your soul.</p>
<p>So if this topic is on time for you, if it's speaking to you, make sure that you comment below, send me an email back at Info@VictoriaWhitfield.com and subscribe on YouTube so that you get these Love Letters first every single week.</p>
<p><strong>And by the way, if this is really resonating and you're thinking of someone in particular, will you please send them this video?</strong>Let them know that they're not alone. And if you are new to the Love Letters because you received this and someone shared it for you, I want you to know you're not alone in what you’re going through. Faith can be restored. Connect to nature this week, go for a walk, soak it up, be gentle with yourself, and I'll see you next week so that we can continue this conversation. Mwah! Sending you so much love.</p>

<h2><strong>Just for today...</strong></h2>
<h3>Be kind to yourself and notice where the inner light of your faith and drive may be dimming.</h3>
<h3>Instead of avoiding or glazing over the truth, pause for a moment and acknowledge where you feel drained or dismayed.</h3>
<h3>Notice how you feel in that moment - <em>you're already healing!</em></h3>
