It was the first time I had ever conceived of such an exercise, and I was so miserable that I just had to let it out somewhere. Then, taking it all to the hibachi and setting it on fire was amazingly cathartic. So every time I got upset, I started to do write it and then burn it. What’s interesting is that one year later – when I did my annual New Year’s Eve “dump the trash” – I only had 2 pages. So it really does dissolve the small stuff and sets you free. I hope my readers will at least try it. It’s very freeing.

It’s like giving yourself a daily performance review. I think I will add that. It definitely clears up the energy for a better night’s sleep. And we can all use that!
Happy Belated Birthday!

You are good girl. I actually do a similar exercise on a regular basis. As part of my spiritual practice I use to write down at night before I went to bed all the things that disturbed me during the day, dealt with my anger and then practiced forgiveness. It certainly cleared up energy before sleep. Forgiveness is clearly a choice and you are right, the more we practice it the easier it becomes to let our stuff go. My birthday is Dec. 28th and I have a similar ritual to end the year and begin the new year. I spend a lot of time on my birthday and on the 31st in meditation asking that I be guided in looking at what I need to deal with and what I am to do for the new year that will be of service. It is my ritual for the new year and at times very powerful. I love your ritual too.

This sounds like a good practice to do over and over again. A really good cleansing of the soul. My guess is it’s probably left a tear or two on your cheek. Am I right?
