Um, I literally know what it's like to feel stuck at work...
Back in 2010, I missed my window of opportunity to take care of myself at work, putting tasks and productivity before my health. This oversight resulted in my fingers being pinned between two 30+lb panes of glass next to my desk - I was trapped and alone in my office.
This was the moment I realized that something's got to give - if you don't take care of yourself, that window of opportunity may come back to bite you, Victoria.
So, I decided to make a change.
I know it may sound weird, but I decided to love myself - WHILE AT WORK. I mean, hey, studies show I will be here for 50% of my waking life anyway, so I figured I might as well try it, you know?
At first, it was one tiny adjustment here, learning to say “No” there. Taking one class here, investing in a certification there. Signing up for mentorship here, connecting with likeminded people there...
Each step on my professional self-love journey was a Revolution for me. It wasn’t easy. I’m still on this journey.
After a while, the little changes here and there that I made for myself began to add up, and before I knew it my life was totally changed - and for the better! Not only that, but I had picked up awesome teachers, friends and clients along the way.
And you know, when I really stepped back and looked at who was on this journey with me, I discovered that we all shared one thing in common: we are all Conscious Entrepreneurs.
WHAAAT??
How on earth did that happen?
I was just trying to love myself at work, and not get hit by any more “Missed Windows of Opportunity” - Haha... that’s a joke. ...Kinda.
I learned all kinds of holistic stress management techniques, natural healing therapies and positive psychology and mindset stuff. I even began an life-long commitment to studying energy healing arts - especially Reiki (a natural healing technique from Japan).
So here I am on this journey to love myself,
And here are all these conscious entrepreneur people walking with me,
Headed to the very same destination.
They have similar struggles, beliefs and desires as me, but not all of them have taken the courses, traveled to the places, read the books and studied with the mentors that I have. I realized... I have got something to share that can really help my journey partners.
So, I did some soul searching, and it came to me intuitively, in a meditation: I am the world's first Business Reiki Master.
I teach holistic stress management and self care to professionals, especially entrepreneurs, so that they can get out there and serve the people they are called to WITHOUT running themselves into the hospital or burning themselves out, extra crispy, in the meantime.
I believe that you do NOT have to lose your glow, AS you grow in life and business.
I believe that you can feel loved and safe in all ways and at all times.
And a great container for learning self-love is actually your workplace.
So I decided to get this message out there. I vlog on YouTube, wrote a book, toured the U.S. and then the world leading meditations and now host The Journeypreneur Podcast on iTunes.
I sincerely believe that the best is yet to come.
Now, if you’ve read this far, I want to thank you for taking the time to walk with me on this journey for a little while. And most of all, I just want you to know One Thing:
You are so loved.
xoxo,
Victoria.
