Have you ever noticed how some things just don’t leave you alone? You think you’ve moved on. You tell yourself you’re over it. You even say you forgive them. But something still sits heavy in your chest.
I used to think healing meant understanding everything. Processing everything. Forgiving everyone. Being the bigger person. But sometimes healing is not about being evolved. Sometimes it is about being honest.
And honesty is messy.
There are things we never say out loud. The jealousy. The resentment. The anger. The shame. The regret. The words we rehearse in the shower but never send. The conversations we replay at 2 am.
That is exactly why I created the Let It Go Journal.
Not as a cute aesthetic journal. Not as something you keep on your shelf forever. But as an emotional release journal. A burn after writing journal. A space where you can finally say what you actually feel without worrying about who will read it.
Because here is the truth. A lot of us do not need advice. We need release.
We are carrying emotional weight from years ago. A breakup we never fully processed. A betrayal we brushed off. A mistake we never forgave ourselves for. And it shows up everywhere. In our relationships. In our anxiety. In our overthinking. In our inability to manifest new things.
You cannot invite new energy into your life while gripping old pain with both hands.
This is where burning what you write becomes powerful.
When you write something down with complete honesty, your nervous system finally gets to exhale. You are no longer pretending. You are no longer suppressing. You are not trying to be spiritual about it. You are just real.
And then you burn it.
That act is symbolic, yes. But it is also psychological. It tells your brain that this story does not need to be stored anymore. It does not need to be reread. It does not need to define you. It was felt. It was acknowledged. And now it is released.
Forgiveness is beautiful. But sometimes forgiveness feels forced. Sometimes you are not ready to forgive. And that is okay.
Letting go does not always require forgiving someone. Sometimes it just requires expressing everything you never got to say.
That is why the Let It Go Journal asks hard questions.
What is your biggest fear.
What are you running away from.
What is something you have never told anyone.
What are you ashamed of.
What is something you have been holding onto for too long.
These are not surface level prompts. These are shadow work journal prompts. These are emotional healing questions that gently pull out what has been buried.
And the beauty is this journal is private. It is for your eyes only. You do not need to sound wise. You do not need to make it poetic. You do not need to be the healed version of yourself. You can be petty. You can be angry. You can be honest.
Then you tear the page or burn it safely.
That is the ritual.
If you are someone who overthinks everything, this kind of journaling is powerful. If you are someone who cannot confront people directly, this helps. If you are on a healing journey and feel stuck, this can move stagnant energy.
I truly believe that journaling for mental health is not just about gratitude lists and positive affirmations. Sometimes it is about sitting with the uncomfortable truths.
And if you are into manifestation, this becomes even more important.
We talk a lot about manifesting love, money, opportunities, peace. But we forget that manifestation requires space. You cannot plant new seeds in soil that is crowded with old roots.
Releasing is part of receiving.
The Let It Go Journal is available as a paperback and as a printable PDF, so you can use it in whatever way feels easiest. Some people like physically burning pages. Some prefer tearing them into pieces. Both work. The point is not the fire. The point is the intention.
Write it. Feel it. Release it.
You do not need closure from another person. You can create closure for yourself.
And if you have been carrying something silently for years, maybe this is your sign to stop carrying it alone.
Sometimes healing is not about keeping memories safe. Sometimes it is about letting them go.
If this resonates with you, I have linked the Let It Go Journal below. It might be the safest place you have ever allowed yourself to be completely honest.
And honestly, that kind of freedom changes everything.
