A journal for self-reflection.
Do you have regrets? Things you should have said but didn't for one reason or another. Perhaps you are a "think before you speak" person and by the time you know what to say the opportunity has passed? Perhaps you have hurt people or were hurt by people, recently or in your past. Writing out your regrets, writing out the details of each incident is part of shadow work - that awful but necessary and painful work of 'digging deep' inside ourselves to heal our past hurts.
There are so many things to be said - sometimes even YEARS after the fact. But if they are still churning inside of you, that means they are still hurting you and quite possibly creating a snowball effect of additional problems; addictions, anxiety, self-loathing—the list goes on and on. Getting them out is the best way to begin to move past the weight they can bring to our potential happiness, healing, and/or recovery.
I've created this journal for myself but I know that I'm not the only one who could benefit from this kind of self-reflection.
The first page of my personal copy begins: I wish I would have said... I'm sorry. The rest of the entry takes me back thirty years to an apology long overdue to someone who has long since moved on, yet I keep circling back to my own regret. This book isn't for that person, this book isn't for anyone except you. Lay out your regrets, your anger, your hurts, your betrayal, your disappointments so that you can release them into the universe and begin to heal.
On the top of each right side page is the header "I wish I would have said..." the back of each page is ruled. This allows a full front and back to write out what could be a letter or even just a page of personal venting.
This 7"x9" journal comes with 4 cover options and 40 sheets of smooth 32 lb paper.
