Believe that you "have to" stay later at work to prove your worth to the company?

Do you eat lunch at the computer and bring work home with you to save time?

Tired of feeling overworked and underpaid?

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is actually the truth.

Even if we love what we do for a living, it's important to find a safe, loving balance between contributing (through work) and receiving (through self-care, etc.) abundantly in life.

Watch the above 10-minute video to stop being a workaholic and heal your addiction for good!

"If I'm not working, I don't feel safe."

I'm hearing the Oracle cards calling in the energy now.

Be kind to yourself this week.

If you are an workaholic, if you have self-identified as being a workaholic, you don't have to do that.

You don't have to stay later, you don't have to come earlier, you don't have to eat lunch at the computer.

You don't have to bring work home with you and work on the laptop in front of the TV while you're on Facebook on your cellphone, and maybe even another couple of screens around you.

You don't have to.

There is an enabling pattern going on here, and the enabling is serving you on some level, and Source wants you to know that something about this addiction is serving you -- what is it?

It's this: you're trying to fill a Soul scar of neglect.

Whether you were neglected as a child, or are feeling neglected in your relationship or at work now, or you've been neglecting yourself -- neglecting your own relationship with yourself -- these cycles of neglect perpetuate cycles of workaholism.

This goes for any of the "-aholisms" -- alcoholism, for example. is to fill that space, that Soul scar of neglect.

It's an aching space. It doesn't have to be this way, though.

The Oracle cards for this week are the fairies sending us love and joy. Let's see. What have you got to tell us, fairies?

 

Feeling safe.

There's a strong, deep resonance coming from this card. I couldn't agree with the fairies more.

The first thing that I'm hearing in the energy is that, "Well, if I'm not working, I don't feel safe."

That's the dilemma of retirement, by the way.

Ah, the dilemma of retirement. "OK, I'm not working anymore. Out into the great unknown! What the heck is life without work?" Right?

Work is a coping mechanism to deal with experiencing life uncensored.

A coping mechanism to deal with experiencing your own emotions, your own desires, your own vision, your own passion and purpose uncensored.

Work, at its lower vibration, is the biggest coping mechanism and distraction you experience in your adult life.

Know this: Work can either be a distraction from an unfulfilled life or a vehicle for expressing love.

But let's see what the channeling is from the fairies: 

 

Any feelings of danger of vulnerability are healing. 

Wow! You know, usually when we think of feeling vulnerable we get scared.

Say you're feeling financially vulnerable because you're unemployed right now. To all my unemployed members of The TRIBE on the list, all my unemployed people, I'm sending you LOTS of love right now! 

But, they're saying feeling vulnerable can be healing?

You know, there are times when we go through bouts of unemployment where looking for money becomes our job, and that's our number one focus. 

It's a worry, a fear, a frustration.

And then there are the blessed moments when we realized in unemployment, holy cow, the world is my oyster right now, or I'm rekindling my relationship with my family, and with myself, because I have time and space to do that.

That higher vibration is what the fairies are talking about.

But I'm only one phrase in. It wasn't even a whole sentence of what they said: 

 

Any feelings of danger or vulnerability are healing, and they are replaced with the certain knowledge that you are safe and protected right now.

Have you felt frightened or insecure lately?

If so, this card is a signal that heaven is aware of your feelings and has come to your aid.

You are surrounded by heavenly beings who love and protect you on an ongoing basis. The fairies remind you...

I just heard in the energy for all of us who feel like workaholics right now -- Source is saying we're looking for ongoing protection to come from work, rather than looking for it to come from Spirit.

And if you don't believe in a higher power, to all of my loves on the list out in The TRIBE who are Atheist, see "Spirit" as looking into your own inner spirit, the human spirit, your own will, your own desire to live, your capability as a human being.

Rather than looking inward, we're looking outward for protection. And that's why it can be addictive.

Why? Because whenever we look outward -- we will never be satisfied being external focused.

When you're looking for what to energetically feed on and what to do to "find" (or define) yourself, you won't find what you're looking for in just work. You're much bigger than that.

 

The fairies remind you that your thoughts of danger are triggering your feelings of vulnerability. In your mind you have given power to some outside entity."

Your job or your business or your clients, or the search for a job, or your volunteering. Big hugs to my volunteer-aholics! Wow, LOL, we're calling out everybody today!

 

You believe that this idol that you have created has the power to hurt you, or to control your life. Yet the only power it has is that which you have attributed to it.

You gave it the power. You unplug, you've got it back for you.

 

The fairies urge you to awaken from this mistaken concept, see that you have the power to create a happy and secure dream, and make the decision to feel safe by living that dream.

Affirmation: 'I am safe, I am secure, I am completely protected at all times.'

And this is where we're going to end.

Being a workaholic is just a spiritual boundaries issue.

This may have to be like a "let's get real moment" here, guys.

You're the only one who's burying you under your work, and in fact you're the one shoveling more on top of you.

But you don't have to be entombed like this.

Take personal responsibility and say: "I don't have to."

Say it with me. "I don't have to work right now. I don't have to work right now. In fact, I'm here to live. I'm here to live my life."

Build a strategic, clear and balanced personal approach to work.

And if you have a business, build your business in a way that supports you living your life in the way that you envision you want to live it at your best and highest vibration.

Send me an email back. What's coming up for you?

I look forward to hearing from you, and until next time, I'm just giving you tons and tons of hugs and kisses.

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

The post Love Letters | Workaholic – Part 2 of 2 appeared first on Sensei Victoria Whitfield.

Having a hard time finding time for yourself lately because you're at work all the time?

Do you define yourself by going above and beyond the call of duty, even if it drains you?

Worried that you're spending more time at work than with your friends and family?

"Doing a good job" at work can be both a positive motivation in life and an addictive distraction from life.

The way we tell the difference is by how we feel on a day to day basis: fulfilled and balanced or frustrated and drained.

Watch the above 6-minute video to learn why we get addicted to work!

"I've been working here for years. I've never taken a vacation."

Are you a workaholic?

Source this week is sending healing energy to all the members of the TRIBE out there who are workaholics.

Your work ethic is at 110%, maybe around 200%.

Perhaps you define yourself by how you arrive before others and leave afterward, or as the provider of the service perhaps you define yourself for going above and beyond what your clients ask for.

You give them extra time. You spend time for free trying to help as many people as possible.

Don't worry, we're speaking to you with love, not to out you in a scary sense. Instead, let's take a look at this:

Could you perhaps be a workaholic?

If so, you may often wonder "When am I going to get to just hang out with my kids next?", "When am I going to get to just enjoy a vacation sometime?"

Or maybe it's one of those things that you brag about: "Ha ha. I've been working here for years. I've never taken a vacation."

Whoa! Heavy, right? If that's you, we're sending you love and this one is for you.

There's this sense of workaholism in our culture now. We have addictive personalities, especially if we are highly-sensitive, creative type individuals.

We want to completely and fully experience and immerse ourselves in the creative process, in the contribution and production process.

It is addictive to feel production and the birth of new ideas and projects happening, right? But that's where workaholism is most rampant.

We have a NEED to "do" something: "I have something to do. Give me something to do. The more I do, the better I am."

"The more I do, the more worthy I am as a human being; the more financial worth I get, the more that makes me worthy as a human being."

"The more social worth I get, and that makes me worthy as a human being."

"The more affection and attention I get, and that makes me worthy as a human being."

Or, "the more I make my parents proud or my family proud, the more that 'pride rush' I get, and that rush makes me worthy as a human being."

I'm hearing the angels saying workaholism is an expression of a soul scar that comes from being neglected.

At this age and stage in your life, if you're feeling workaholism consuming your self in your work, it may be happening because either you feel neglected by somebody or you have been neglecting something or somebody -- ahem, somebody like yourself -- in a big way.

It's a filler for the scar; it's a filler energy.

Whenever we have one of those addictive behavioral patterns it's to fill the soul scar, the hole.

A soul scar looks like a maelstrom; the energy is this sucking vortex.

In the Universe there's positive vortexes, but then there's the draining vortexes.

We're filling ourselves with work to make up for a sense of loneliness, frustration, a lack of self-worth or a lack of being seen, especially by those that we love.

Not being acknowledged by your mother or father, or not feeling intimately connected to your lover, or not feeling you have quality time or physical contemporaneous space with your children.

There's just this sense of isolation, and so we fill it with work in order to feel better about ourselves, right?

To create the sense of self-worth, we work hard.

Know this: If you're a workaholic, you're addicted to work because your self-worth depends on it. 

In fact, working hard doesn't even necessarily mean the money is coming in, right?

It's very easy to make money. Money is everywhere. It's just energy.

But it's not about money, being a workaholic.

I'll have people say, "Oh, yeah, I'm on my grind. That's why I'm grinding every day. That's why I'm a workaholic, because I want money and I need money and I need to get more of it."

Sure it takes money to live in a developed country and take part in civilization. But you don't have to grind to get money, especially at a higher vibration.

In fact, the less you work hard, and the more you work smart, the more the money comes in abundance! 🙂

Stay tuned for part 2 of 2 next week!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Stressed out at work these days?

Can't handle the negativity in your workplace?

Wish you could improve your "work-life balance"?

Feeling comfortable and healthy being a highly sensitive, spiritual and creative individual like yourself can be quite tough when you have to expose yourself to a toxic work environment every day.

Inconsiderate or insensitive bosses, clients and coworkers can really drain your energy if you don't learn to protect and manage it while at work.

Watch the above video to learn how to begin dealing with stress and negativity while at work!

"I have a soul-crushing job."

Ugh. My heart sinks just typing that now.

I cannot tell you how many people I've met over the last few years I've been teaching about and sharing healing energy that have said the above statement to me, especially when I ask what they do for a living.

My heart sinks because, well, that used to be me, too.

So I'm going to be very candid right now. Here goes. xoxo

I remember what it was like dreading Monday morning every week, thinking about just turning the car around at the next jughandle on the way to work during my morning commute.

Worse yet, when it was really bad, I used to fantasize during my morning commute about driving my car into the divider on the highway just to see what would happen...

For the record, if this is you right now, I just want to say I love you, I'm sending you big hugs now, and there's more for you in life than just the same ol' ratrace every day.

Sparing you the expletives (I'm from Jersey, and we have colorful language here lol!), the job I was driving to at the time I would describe as a madhouse. My direct manager was a screamer and a bully, the hours were 10-12 hours a day, Monday - Friday, with a 1-hour commute (without traffic) one way.

Everyone was so anxious and depressed in the office. Lots of sneaking, gossiping and two-facedness.

In fact, I would hide in the bathroom just to pretend I was having a really long pee sometimes. Of course, my manager caught on to that and would run screaming my name into my department and bang on the bathroom door in front of all the 10 people I managed at the time...

So, yeah, I understand a little of what it feels like to work in a toxic work environment.

To cope (aka. NUMB myself), I would binge eat chocolate candies and cheeseburgers, drink Captain Morgan Private Stock rum and coke that I hid in my bedroom at home, and smoke black clove cigarettes or even e-cigars several times a day (especially while driving, Cuvana is the best). I also distracted myself even more with falling in "love" an emotionally and at times physically abusive boyfriend then...

Oh yes I went there. You can judge me if you want. I don't mind not being perfect. And no, I do not have it all figured out even as I type this Love Letter to you.

"Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future," or so the saying goes. And you wonder why I say "you don't have to be perfect in life; all you ever have to be is honest." Well, now you have an idea why...

I'm just saying all this to let you know that I've experienced firsthand the powerful negative effects of what a toxic work (and life) environment can have on your self-esteem and health. So this week's topic is bigger than just making life more comfortable.

Having the gift of being sensitive can be a curse if you don't manage it well.

You see, highly sensitive individuals like us need environments that support and protect our energy. But WE have to create these environments; they don't just appear.

Now, when you work at a job that has a lot of negative energy, you can do one of two things: you can just go there and get victimized, or you can go there and take charge.

Either way, you'll absorb the dominant energy of your work environment by default.

You already do; and you can see what that energy does to you by observing how you feel when you're there compared to how you feel outside of the workplace.

Know this: You are still a divine, creative, and spiritual being even when you're at work. Act like it. #selfcare #business #wakeup

It all starts with your mindset about the workplace.

The common mindset is that if you're describing your work as "soul-crushing" then that's a big red flapping in your face that you need to improve your "work-life balance."

True, that is a big red flag that needs to be addressed.

But, there's no such thing as "work-life balance" -- there is only LIFE BALANCE.

We don't stop living our own lives just because we're working for someone else (as an employee or an owner / entrepreneur).

You deserve to feel just as happy and healthy at work as you do at home. And in the video I give you some practical suggestions for things that can raise the vibration of a negative work environment.

Watch this week's video for the Oracle Card of the Week, which shows you how to shift your mindset about your work right now, even if you hate your job!

In Love and Light,

Victoria.

Just for Today...

Take charge of your work environment.

Look around your office and desk space and ask yourself "what could I bring and display here for myself that reminds me that I am a spiritual and divine being worthy of self-care and happiness right now?"

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