Stress Eating - Journeypreneur Podcast Ep. 149

Hey everyone, it’s Sensei Victoria Whitfield here, your journey partner in business, welcoming you back to episode 149 of the Journeypreneur Podcast. 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.

So the title of this podcast episode is Stress Eating.

Stress eating. And this I especially want to talk, to share some stories of my own around stress eating not just because things are like difficult or bad but it's also because things are growing - it's like growing your business and your belly. And not because you're pregnant, unfortunately! Abundance is abundance is abundance.

You know, when I woke up this morning my spirit guides really put it on my heart to share a little bit more around stress eating. And so, I don't know if this episode is for you but I'm gonna keep following guidance and make sure that I share exactly as I've been told to, right, because I believe in running a Spirit-led business. My spirit guides, my intuition, are the CEO, and basically the CVO, of my company and the more that I follow their guidance, the more effective I become.

So with that being said right now it's winter after COVID, and well not after COVID -  it's the winter. You know, January-ish later into the winter, and  COVID has been all year, 2020 and what happened for me personally when COVID first hit, is that I was surrounded by a lot of people who had a lot of things changing, right? And maybe this was the case for you, like, you can't go where you were expecting to go, can't do what you plan to do, sales that you're expecting are not coming through in the way that they typically do - like, there's so much shift and change.

And I'm also surrounded by a lot of people who want to live lives that are post-transformation, right? So post-transformational lives, what does that mean? That means they transform something about their themselves or their health. So, maybe they've embraced sobriety, or maybe they've embraced, you know, going vegan or gluten free or maybe they've embraced giving up alcohol or, you know, drugs, something like that or maybe they've embraced self-respect and personal boundaries, all those types of things. It's the post-personal-growth-and-development type of person - or not even not to say that “post” means it's over and you're never gonna change again - but you've been through some stuff. Right?

My people have been through several programs before me. Before maybe they did Landmark or Tony Robbins or a did all different kinds of stuff to transform their businesses as well or their branding their self images. And so we live a lot more conscious life post transformational program.

So I'm surrounded by people who have a higher level of stress due to change, but also who try to control their stress response, and all of life is a mirror. So, I'm included in this. Why am I surrounded by all these types of people? Well I happen to be one of them. I always joke with my clients that not only am I a client but I am also the president of the Hair Club for Men as well. Yeah.

So, with that, okay, right there with you, trying to manage my personal energy in response to so much change trying to and live consciously and be mindful and make sure that I am continuing to show up in a way that displays and conveys the fact that I create my reality and I am in control, although I have had experiences of victimization in the past.

I desire, right, as someone who is post personal development or post transformational experience, I desire to show up as someone who says, “Wait a minute, I can get myself back above the 50% line,” “I am in control” and what matters most is how I feel and I can control how I feel. I can think with intention and all these types of, you know, positive forms of self control enthusiasm, or, you know, we could say it's being a control freak but I appreciate my mentor Fabienne would talk about being a control enthusiast. So with that being said, Okay, COVID everything upside down, everything's changing.

There are a lot more stressed people around me and well, what do? I provide holistic stress management. I provide, like, a safe place for entrepreneurs to process the emotional rollercoaster of abundant business ownership. Okay, so suddenly things in my business - I was actually just earlier today texting with my bookkeeper and she like gave me numbers to show this fact that suddenly, what I'm doing, has become way more relevant. I mean it's always been relevant: there's always stress with owning a business, especially a purpose-driven business, right? You have a special flavor of stress.
