Specific Limiting Statements and Suggestions for Rescinding
Statement to Rescind: You have no right to be happy.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
This vow is embedded in the energy field of your left ear. It has a shrilled sound -- like yelling. An equivalent feeling might be the chill you get when you hear screeching of chalk on a chalk board. You might find that listening to calming music will help to neutralize the disempowering message along with some of these other suggestions.
Sometimes it is helpful to know who owns the voice of the original words; sometimes it is not helpful. In your case, I feel it is important to recognize whose voice it is so that you understand that it no longer has authority in your life. Perhaps as a little girl this was the voice of authority, but now you are your own authority. So in discovering the owner of the voice, I remind you (although you probably do not really need this reminder) that we are not looking to pin blame any place. The purpose of identification is to reclaim your own authority.
In addition, getting in touch with the inner child (about age 7-9) is important. The primary purpose is to explain to her that you (the adult) have now taken charge of this energy field. She does not have to be afraid nor does she have to be unhappy. You might even talk to her as if "unhappy" is a role that she was instructed to play. That role is no longer needed because you are re-writing the script. Discuss with her the possibilities of a new role. In the end, her role is your decision as a mature adult; however, having input from this part of you is likely to yield many rewards. It's a collaboration. You need not rush through this exercise. Allow it to emerge. Let her audition for several roles. Rehearse the lines and feelings. Re-write the script. Experiment again. Play.
You truly have a joyous soul. She loves it when you laugh and play and dance. She sees work as play and play as work. The statement that I hear resonating from your soul self is: "I am right here now. I am Joy."
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 unhappiness, shrilled sounds, fears, unworthiness. 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 have failed in my life and am now doomed to a lesser happiness.
Jeanie's observations to this individual:
I have a few suggestions about some exercises that you can do for the emotional and mental parts of you.
One, quite simply, is to make a list of all your accomplishments. Just sit down and write. Poke your memory into all parts of your life. If all you see is "failure," (which I doubt, but this may be dependent on the mood you are in when you do the exercise) then look deeper. For example, if you have labeled something a "failure," ask yourself what you learned from the experience -- add those learnings to the accomplishments list. Keep adding to your lift over several days. Preferably, carry a pad of paper with you at all times, because once you get started you are likely to have flashes of memory here and there -- the kinds of flashes that are easily lost if not written down immediately.
Concurrently, I suggest that you adopt a REGULAR practice of recording the day's accomplishments. These do not have to be earth-shattering accomplishments, just the things you have done. You may find a system to keep track of the items as you proceed during the day or compile it at the "end" of the day, which you may define as one of the last things to do at the end of the work day or one of the last things to do before going to bed. By REGULAR, I mean EVERYDAY. A discipline. If you were a client, I would assign you to email me your Done List every day, as I have recently assigned a client.
The two above exercises serve several purposes, (1) they provide concrete data about your accomplishments to refute the belief that you have failed. (2) they help you to feel better about your life. (3) they provide some information for a conversation I suggest you have between you and your inner child.
If you have done inner child work, this conversation will be natural for you. If not, just remember that every age you have ever been and every experience you have every had are still within your energy field, within you. Imagine your inner child is 7-9 years old. Converse with him. Point out these accomplishments, learnings, experiences. Ask his opinions and his feelings, much as you would a young child you love. Also, it is very important for the two of you to have dialogue about the definition of happiness. Take your inner child to lunch, sporting events, or other activities that you as an adult enjoy. Remember also the things that you as a child of 7-9 enjoyed.
Here is the statement that I hear resonating with your higher self consciousness: "Enjoy, I live in joy." If you feel resistance to this, Follow the instructions on the September 8 DailyAffirm ABOUT YOUR PROCESS.
I will continue to work with you energetically.
