Specific Limiting Statements and Suggestions for Rescinding
______

Statement to Rescind: I will never find/experience the "fulfilling/abundant work/career beyond my wildest dreams" that I desire. I have sought and sought only to find closed/unfertile opportunities.

Jeanie's observations to this individual:
I highly recommend that you read the article "Asking Empowering Questions." I think that you will find the article in total helpful, but I am especially thinking about the list of questions. I suggest that you systematically answer those questions in stream of consciousness writing. Just let answers come from you. Perhaps write for 20 minutes about each question. Pace yourself on this. Perhaps one question per day. The next day you may even decide to do another 20 minutes with the same questions.

So what we need to do is cultivate the soil. Make it fertile so that the seeds you plant can grow. The seeds are your thoughts. Your job right now is to talk to yourself about the career that your soul desires for you. You are in the process of releasing some rather heavy female conditioning. You may or may not be aware of this. It goes something like: "you can't do that because you're a girl (then later, woman)." Or, "you can't do that as well as a man."

The more phrases you can develop that you DESIRE to believe, the better. For example,

  • "I am ready for a wondrous job."
  • "My new contract with the Universe is: I am open only to fertile opportunities. I do not want to be disturbed with anything else."
  • "I love my job (work/career)."
  • "I am fulfilled by all that I do."

Right now, these statements/affirmations are likely to evoke resistance as you say or write them. For example, a thought might come "Oh, no I'm not" Insert the thought into the September 1 affirmation. "I give myself permission to release ______ easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Do it in a way that makes sense to you. For example, "I give myself permission to release despair easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release fear easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release job hatred easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field."

Remember, you do not have to do all this today. I suggest that you plan to work with these suggestions along with the daily affirmations all through the month. The second week will be especially important for you. See how you have changed by the end of September.

I will continue to work with you energetically.

Statement to Rescind: You can have all the fun, and I will do all the work.

Jeanie's observations to this individual:
One small suggestion: Adopt the Tom Sawyer strategy (white washing the fence) and see all work as play.

Another suggestion: Be certain that EVERY day you do something that is, without doubt, fun. Totally non work-related, even frivolous. You might even want to keep a daily fun journal. The fun journal is as much for you as an adult as for your nner child.

It is the inner child who took on this limiting belief, quite young. Fertile ground had been created VERY early, so that by about 9 years old, the idea was well sprouted and strong. Over a period of time (a minimum of 21 days), you need to retrain the 9-year-old to let go of this belief. And she needs to PLAY. She loves yellow, so you might buy a yellow something or other. Or wear a touch of yellow. Or be certain to have yellow around -- and more than a yellow high lighter! Preferable something that represents fun, play, or frivolity. Your inner 9-year-old also needs to be acknowledged when she has worked -- especially when she has worked hard. If unnoticed, she will simply work harder.

The statement that resonates with your higher consciousness is: "I love to work. I love to play." Which, of course, can be easily varied by putting anyone or anything in place of "to work/play" So, "I love to dance." "I love my job." "I love my car." "I love you." "I love myself."

Right now, these statements are likely to evoke resistance as you say or write them. For example, a thought might come "Oh, no you don't, you hate work." Insert the thought into the September 1 affirmation. "I give myself permission to release ______ easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Do it in a way that makes sense to you. For example, "I give myself permission to release anger easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release resentment easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release my resistance to having fun, easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field."

I will continue to work with you energetically.

Statement to Rescind: I believe the past conditioning of lower middle class "just making it."

Jeanie's observations to this individual:
There is anger for you to release from your energy field -- you may be aware of this, or not. It seems as though you are very good at hiding your anger. When anger is present, it does tend to contaminate relationships. So you might want to work with the Sept 1 affirmation and write it according to the "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment" article: "I give myself permission to release anger easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." If it helps you to identify at what you are angry, place the phrase in the affirmation, but be certain that you do not get distracted by the circumstances; the anger is in you, or you would not feel angry at someone or something. So focus on the release of "anger."

I suggest an exercise: make a list of the many gifts that your parents have given you. When the list seems complete, make another list, this time of all the gifts you have given your parents. Let yourself feel true gratitude and self appreciation. (If you have children of your own, you might repeat this exercise with lists about them.)

Remember that "lower middle class" is a consensus reality; that is, individuals inside and outside this "class" have agreed to hold certain beliefs. So, you may find it helpful to identify what you DESIRE to believe. It may even help you to find out what those who have "make it successfully" believe. For example: "I can do anything I decide I can." "The world is my playground." "I am destined to be successful." Let the belief that resonates most strongly with you become an affirmation. Remember, the past does not create the future, the present does! So, stay in the present.

In addition to using the Sept 1 affirmation as suggested above to release anger, you might also work with it this way: "I give myself permission to release unworthiness/lower middle class/the past/limitation easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." At least one set per day for three days, with a different word each set -- from those suggested or others. Continue longer than three days for even more lasting results.

I will be working with you energetically.
