Hello,

My name is John Steen.

I'm a certified energy healing practitioner.

Before I became an energy healing practitioner in 2022,

I worked for the U.

S.

Federal Civil Service for 33 years.

I abruptly resigned from my career in January of 2020.

During that time,

I had filed a discrimination lawsuit against the agency I worked for,

And I was also a whistleblower.

As you can probably imagine,

The stress from a lawsuit was immense.

But the larger stress was a result of the immense retaliation I experienced for speaking up.

For five long years,

It felt like I was sinking further and further down the rabbit hole.

I also felt like I was just existing.

The continued work stress flooded through every fiber of my life.

I felt completely and utterly powerless.

I want you to know that I completely understand what you're going through yourself right now.

Whether it's a smaller circumstance to something more severe than my story,

It's an awful situation to have to go through,

And your feelings are valid.

I totally get it.

Also,

Despite being involved with healing work my entire adult life,

I knew there had to be a greater reason why I was experiencing what I was experiencing,

But I could never find one.

I was just so embroiled in the events surrounding me.

Shortly after I had resigned in January of 2020,

The pandemic hit,

And I was feeling more depressed and depleted,

And I didn't know where my future was headed.

However,

In October of 2020,

I started attending numerous Insight Timer lives a day and tried lots of different healing modalities.

It was during that time that I had found my answer.

The universe had been nudging me to finally deal with my childhood wounds and trauma and my core wound of abandonment from growing up with an alcoholic mom.

I soon realized it wasn't so much the work situations themselves,

But my reactions to it all.

It was the way I had reacted my entire life to all stressful situations.

It was my trauma.

I later learned after studying energy healing that my reactions and feelings were a result of energy blocks in my system.

Once I removed some of those energy blocks around my childhood trauma,

Those familiar feelings and behavior I had relied on all my life naturally started to fall away,

And my entire world opened up.

It's been quite remarkable.

Those familiar thoughts and feelings are also not who we are.

And this is why I've created some work stress affirmations to help guide you into a more mindful state about your work stress and your current life circumstances.

It is my hope with these affirmations that you're able to find some peace and comfort if you experience any feelings of isolation and know that you are not alone.

I get it.

I also hope you're able to cement some of these affirmations into your mind for those times when the work stress overwhelms you and you're able to naturally have some of them come into your mind on their own.

At least that's what's happened for me with affirmations.

It's about training our minds as best we can.

If you're listening to these while at work,

And if you're able,

I suggest you walk away from your desk for a few minutes.

I suggest listening to these either in the restroom or the office stairwell while walking the stairs.

Movement is so very important for stress and mindfulness.

The office stairwell became my daily sanctuary while dealing with stress and retaliation I was experiencing.

Use your current environment as best you can.

Remember to speak these affirmations with conviction and belief in their truthfulness.

Over time,

They can help shift your mindset and reduce feelings of work stress.

I will say these affirmations twice.

Please feel free to say them along with me the second time.

Use your breath to help guide you as well when saying these affirmations.

Repeat them regularly to reinforce mindful thinking to help reduce your work stress.

Also,

Writing down ones that resonate with you and sticking them in places like your desk,

Bulletin board,

Or at home like your bathroom mirror can help reinforce their power.

I often listen to affirmations when I start a hike in nature and I'm feeling more calm.

Affirmations are not a panacea.

We can't positive think our way out of dealing with emotions and feelings or things that are continually showing up in our lives.

However,

They can become one of many tools available to help train your mind and lessen your work stress in the present moment.

Remember,

Everything in life is impermanent.

I promise you,

Your current work situation will look different tomorrow.

It will look different next week.

It will look different next month.

It will look and feel different next year.

Please practice as much self-care and self-love as you can during these stressful times.

You can and you will get through this.

I promise you.

If I can do it,

Then so can you.

Namaste.

Reviews

Very supportive affirmations to help ease and manage stress at work. Thank you John.

I was about to look for your recent Premier track and came across this one about stress at work. The universe sent me to this one because I have still been holding onto stress from the horrible boss I had at my last job.

Everything you said in this one is so thoughtfully, an expertly laid out with compassion and your experience which really makes it valuable for me. I can’t believe you went through what you did and I can’t believe I endured my experience with this woman. I know without a doubt I was targeted.

if only I’ve had this meditation and talk then! Today I’ve let most of it go, but there are remnants of it that have stacked on my childhood wounds and this one really spoke to me. I’ve never been one for affirmations until the other day when I listened to your other track. The new premium track.

How amazing you came up with so many wonderful affirmations. I’m going to write some of these down. Thank you for this gem 💎 🙏🏼🙇‍♀️🥰

I feel like when I type on my phone into this app I write so poorly lol! I really must use my laptop for this with reviews. Much love to you my friend and teacher 🙏🏼💖
