Specific Limiting Statements and Suggestions for Rescinding
Statement to Rescind: You're not good enough; you don't belong.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
The second person ("you") indicates this a message from another to you. I see you at about age 9, sitting on a stool. This is not the first time that you have heard this disempowering message, but it is the first time that you truly believe it. You look devastated.
I suggest that you re-parent this inner child. Take her to a healthy lunch. Explain to her about loving and self-loving and feeling good about herself. Much the same way you would talk with a 9 year old child who feels inadequate. No need to try to prove anything to her, just be with her. Develop a relationship. Help her to grow into a more healthy 9 year old. She doesn't even have to be come a 10 year old -- just the healthiest and happiest 9 year old she can be.
Here is the statement to replace the above disempowering message and its variations: "I am right here now." There are several ways to read/interpret that statement -- all ways are relevant.
If when saying this you have a reaction that goes something like, "well, I'm still not good enough," take the reaction and insert it 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 the limiting belief easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release inadequacy easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field."
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 as you sleep. They bring cosmic vacuum cleaners, golden mops, and musical instruments to sing and play in your energy field while clearing from it anything not needed (e.g., beliefs about inadequacy, not succeeding, not belonging). You don't even have to know what's no longer needed -- just trust the angels to do the job divinely.

Statement to Rescind: I am not attractive enough.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
First of all, you will find it helpful to define for yourself what "attractive" means and be certain that your inner child understands. For example, I have a fan on my top book case that has been running nonstop for several months -- it ATTRACTS a lot of dust and grime. In the end, you may or may not change the word "attractive" to something else -- that will be your choice, but this exercise will clarify the meaning to your inner child.
The disempowering message is wedged between the shoulder blades, a bit more on the right side than the left. When you see someone you find attractive (sexy, appealing, interesting), the message comes up something like, "Will that person find me attractive?" Followed almost immediately by self doubt and guilt/shame. While you may be focusing mainly on romantic relationship when you think about this limitation, the message seems to operate in other relationships, as well.
After you have determined the deeper meaning of "attractive," use the relevant euphemisms in self talk. For example, "Hi, handsome," when you catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror or shiny surface. "I have such a great body," as you are getting dressed or undressed. Appreciate your face; appreciate your body. You might also want to use the same words in appreciation of other people and things, e g, "beautiful computer," "attractive house," "vital car." It's ok to be a little silly.
With the salient euphemisms in mind, I suggest you develop a set of "I am ...." statements that you want to work with. These are the ones I hear: "I am sexy." "I am enough." "I am attractive."
As I work with these limiting thoughts energetically, you can also. Imagine a troop of angels come in to your energy field each night as you sleep with cosmic vacuum cleaners, golden mops, and musical instruments. They sing and play in your energy field while clearing from it anything not needed (e.g., beliefs about unattractiveness and unworthiness). You don't even have to know what's not needed -- just trust the angels to do the job divinely.

Statement to Rescind: I'm not good enough.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
I can hear your voice among a crowd of persons who are shouting "I'm not good enough." So, you are not alone. MANY persons feel inadequacies. In fact, most parenting and certainly school systems reinforce that people are "not good enough." You can break out of this disempowering and false belief.
One of the behavior changes for you is to stop comparing yourself with anyone else. Notice. Be a witness. Observe. But do not compare. "Better than" and "not as good as" (etc.) need to be eliminated from your vocabulary -- your spoken vocabulary as well as your conscious and unconscious thoughts. If you feel you cannot do this, do an interim step: compare yourself as you are today with how you were yesterday or last month. The best way to move out of comparison is to appreciate, just appreciate.
The disempowering message is located in the energy field of your right neck. You may find that doing neck exercises while mentally releasing this disempowering thought will further stimulate the release. While you may not yet have any physical symptoms in the neck or throat, you will find these exercises will strengthen this area.
I suggest you return to the September 1 affirmation following the instructions in the article, "Writing Affirmations for Empowerment." "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 unworthiness easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Or, "I give myself permission to release childhood ridicule easily and effortlessly from every level of the energy field." Write the statement 9-3-9, following the instructions in the article.
The statement that resonates most strongly with your higher consciousness is: "I am powerful." Right now, you may resist this statement. That's simply because right now you are having experiences/beliefs of not-powerful. Such experiences are important to your understanding your power, so you need not move through them any quicker than you are. That's your choice. You may find it helpful to affirm "I am having a not-good experience" or "I am having an experience that could suggest that I am not good enough if I decide to believe that." That second statement is cumbersome, but captures the idea I want to convey. Of course, change these statements as you feel is appropriate.
As I work with these limiting thoughts energetically, you can also. Imagine a troop of angels come in to your energy field each night, bringing with them cosmic vacuum cleaners, golden mops, and musical instruments. They sing and play in your energy field while clearing anything that is not needed (e.g., beliefs about inadequacy, fears, unworthiness). You don't even have to know what's no longer needed -- just trust the angels to do the job divinely.
