Specific Limiting Statements and Suggestions for Rescinding
Statement to Rescind: I'm not creative.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
I suggest that you and your inner child sit down together and have a discussion about the meaning of the word "creativity." It is your inner child of about 7-8 years old who has decided that he/she is not creative.
Likely this belief originated from a teacher or other adult. You may be aware of the specific memory or not. It's important that you be REALISTIC with your definition. For example, if you define creative as the ability to produce at the artistic quality of Rembrandt, well, you're just not likely to find an easy exit from the false belief "I'm not creative."
Once you are clear what "creative" really means to you, begin to affirm little acts of creativity. With the wonder or eagerness of a 7-year old, affirm your creativity. I am suggesting self-talk rather than one specific phrase. This exercise requires you to be creative. :-) Here are a few examples: you prepare a meal for yourself and/or others and joyously say out loud or silently, "wow, what a wonderful meal I have just created." You write something like a letter or an email message and simply affirm that you had to be creative in order to do that. Keep in mind, we are NOT evaluating the letter or email message -- it need not be brilliant or witty or even coherent. Your assignment is to CREATE it and affirm that you are creative in order to do that.
What I am suggesting in the above paragraph is simple. Remember, it is the 7-8 year old in you who needs to let go of the disempowering belief. A series of creative experiences will help to erase the old belief.
In addition, you have some energy blockages in the coccyx (tail bone) area. It is as if the vertebrae are all jammed together -- typical of a fall onto the coccyx. You may want to check this out with a chiropractor; however, it may not be physical at all. It may be emotional or mental. I look in the energy field and get impressions -- I cannot always tell for certain at what level of your life the manifestation has taken place. If you have any back problems at all, likely they originate in the tail bone. I will work energetically in this area with you throughout the month.
And, of course, I hold you in consciousness as a creative person.

Statement to Rescind: My husband will never resolve his emotional problems and I will lose him.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
Before I move to the energetic work, I want to say a few things to your adult intellect. Since you do not "own" your husband, you really cannot "lose" him. Of course, it can feel this way, but it is not really the truth. It also seems very important that you "come to peace with" the idea of not being in this marriage. In other words, let go of the neediness (I think I called it "desperation" in another message to you). Part of what you are calling "his emotional problems" is resonating exactly the same as your own fears. So, let go of the fears. Put them in a bucket, as per the "Pluck it for the Bucket" article.
Now to some energetics: this limiting belief sounds like a shrill noise, audible around the ears, neck, and throat. This is a fairly common place for fears to be held. And, of course, a common place for sounds to be heard! I suggest that you find a song with words that you love. A happy romantic song is ideal. I can hear a slight melody, but the words are not coming to me. This may even be what you and your husband might have considered "your" song, but perhaps not. Sing it. Hum it. Hear it. Other gentle music without words is also very appropriate.
The more empowering phrase I hear is: "I am happy and free." Try not to interpret "happy" and "free." Take them as pure words, from a consciousness of joy. Right now you do not feel like you are experiencing much of either. You may want to wait a while before working intensively with this statement, otherwise you may put yourself in despair. Or at least, pace yourself if you start right away.
When you feel ready, say or write "I am happy and free" repeatedly. Monitor your reactions to see if there is resistance. For example, a thought might come "Oh, no I'm not, I feel really stuck." Insert the thought into the September 1 affirmation in a way that makes sense "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/fear/resentment easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release the belief in my husband's problems, easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release my resistance easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Work with the appropriate affirmation according to the "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment" article.
I will continue to work with you energetically.

Statement to Rescind: I just can't get this finished.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
Quite a bottomless pit in "this." So, let's first of all construct a bottom to the bottomless pit or an end to the downward spiral. Use whatever imagery is most relevant to you. If the "this" refers to general things, you might want to follow the suggestions in the September 3 affirmation.
This message was knocked into you at an early age. A bit like a frying pan hit you on the head. That youngster within still sees that she cannot finish. So, let's take the frying pan out of your head so that you can see more clearly.
I suggest that you start practicing developing an intention of each "this." Start gradually and simply. Such as, have an intention to clean or beautify a 12" by 12" table counter top or desk surface. Think of the intention with as much joy and fun as you can. When you have finished making that area exactly as you set out, appreciate yourself for finishing. When you go out on an errand, be clear your purpose, and applaud your success when you return.
When you have had a series of simple experiences such as suggested above, you will start to erase the disempowering message through your actions. Doing with this simple acts rather than grandiose ones is important because it is in the inner child who believes that you can't get this finished.
As I work with these limiting thoughts energetically, you can also. I suggest some imagery. Imagine a troop of angels come in to your energy field each night (day is also ok) as you sleep. They bring with them cosmic vacuum cleaners, golden mops, and musical instruments. They sing and play in your energy field while clearing from it anything that is not needed (e.g., beliefs about not finishing, not succeeding, being behind). You don't even have to know what's no longer needed -- just trust the angels to do the job divinely.
The statement that resonates most strongly with your higher self that you will find useful after you have worked with some of the above suggestions is: "I am ready."
