How the Sedona Method Helps You in
Challenging Financial Times
By Sedona

Insecure
or Downright Scared About Your Job Security?
Here’s How to Eliminate the Fear
About
159,000 Americans lost their jobs this past September, holding the
unemployment rate at a steady 6.1 percent, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
Since last year the rate of unemployment has increased by 1.4 percent,
and in all there are 9.5 million unemployed people in the United
States.
Most
recently employment has continued to fall in the construction,
manufacturing and retail trade industries.
Not surprisingly, 81 percent of Americans say they are worried about
something related to their jobs, according to the 2008 Workplace
Insights survey by Adecco USA.
Among
the top job-related worries were:
* High gas prices (25 percent)
* Stagnant pay checks (13 percent)
* Work-life balance (12 percent)
* Rising cost of health care (9 percent)
* Job market (7 percent)
* Opportunities for advancement (6 percent)
* Outsourcing of jobs (4 percent)
* Other worries (5 percent)
"It's clear that our current economic uncertainty presents real worries
to American workers," said Bernadette Kenny, chief career officer for
Adecco USA.
Why Worrying About Your Job is a Problem in
Itself
While it’s understandable that many people are worrying about their job
security, this anxiety is only making matters worse.
For
one, anxiety can manifest into physical symptoms like insomnia, muscle
tension, fatigue, and headaches -- all of which make it nearly
impossible for you to put in a full day’s work.
Further, when you feel anxious about work you tend to perform less
efficiently. This not only makes you even more fearful, it could
actually single you out as someone who is not a team player or top
performer.
To add
to this catch-22, the more you worry, the more you increase the chances
of getting exactly what you’re worrying about.
“When you're worrying about anything notice what you're holding in
mind. When you worry you're holding in mind the exact opposite of what
you would choose to happen,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and director of
training of Sedona Training Associates.
“So
the more you worry about losing your job the more you're projecting
that into your environment. And when you worry you tend to act as
though the worry is the truth -- and it never is.”
As Lester Levenson, the inspiration behind The Sedona Method, said,
“Fear, and it will appear.”
Indeed, by placing a continual emphasis on your fear of losing your
job, you’re making it a focal point in your life -- much the way you
might use a mantra or meditation to focus on something positive.
Of
course, when your focus is on something negative -- in this case job
insecurity -- it becomes a program that limits your happiness, success
and freedom to enjoy life.
How to Stop Worrying … and be a Top
Performer on the Job
In order to move past your fear, you must stop resisting it and then
let it go using The Sedona Method.
If
you’re not yet familiar with The Method, please look into it now as
countless people have achieved financial security by following its
process of releasing.
“As you let go of your worry what's right underneath is a feeling of
relaxation and courage,” Dwoskin says. “And when you're relaxed and
courageous you’re more likely to perform at your best and communicate
in ways that will make your employer much less likely to choose you as
the one to lay off.”
“In fact, the more you release instead of worry the more likely you
will be to be successful at whatever you do,” he continues.
“The
best way to release worry is to allow yourself to welcome the feeling
(remembering it's just a feeling) and then as best you can choose to
let go. No matter how justified any worry is it is just a feeling and
you can let it go if you choose.”
Though it may sound simplistic, letting go is very powerful. Further,
the benefits grow the more you use it, and it’s not unusual to
experience benefits in other areas of your life as well.
The
Sedona Method is the secret to breaking the pattern of fear and anxiety
that is right now in your consciousness, and replacing it with nothing
but confidence and great expectations for your future.

"Through my work with Chicken Soup for the Soul and through
my
Self-Esteem Seminars, I have been exposed to many self-improvement
techniques and processes. This one stands head and shoulders above the
rest for the ease of its use, its profound impact, and the speed with
which it produces results.
"The Sedona Method is a vastly
accelerated way of letting go of feelings like anger, frustration,
jealousy, anxiety, stress, and fear, as well as many other problems
even physical pain with which almost everybody struggles at one time or
another."

"The Sedona Method is by far the most
powerful way to
make big changes in all aspects of your life through the simple act of
'letting go.'
"In the beginning it feels so easy that one feels the need
to make it more complicated than it actually is. That is the
perfect
time to surrender and trust that some great things just get to be easy."
