“Burn Me” is self help journal for all those old frustrated souls. It would be nice if everyone was filled with love, sunshine, and rainbows. Some people don’t want a hug to make them feel better. Sometimes we need is to let it all out. To kick those the bad ideas to the curb. Throwing out bad emotions like yesterdays trash. Making much needed room for more important things. Turning those pesky demons into something real and tangible. Holding them in our hands to see with our own eyes what’s really bothering us. Harnessing the strength of written language to shed light on that which was previously obscured.
Feelings are a natural part of the human experience. It’s easy to forget that they’re fleeing. This journal is tool to aid that process of moving on. I can’t promise anything, nevertheless I’m sure your own words will surprise you. It’s a funny thing how the most important or biggest problem had a solution hidden in plain sight. With the wisdom granted by time, any obstacle can be overcome. In this journal of self reflection you can speak your mind in a safe place away from prying eyes. The pain, sorrow, agony, and even lust that you feel can be neatly tucked away in between its pages.
The journal isn’t strictly for everything bad. Hate and love often walk the same path. Passion and frustration. Kindness and charity. Confusion is the daily enemy of every person and it’s all too common to contemplate our own actions. Even when doing the right thing. Like the modern proverb states, “Hindsight is 20/20.” As the final resting place for any emotion you’re struggling with, “Burn Me” will take all your secrets to the grave.
Why It’s Important
Mental health is a journey we all struggle with. Keeping a journal is one of many thing that can help. Don’t take my word for it, check out the links below for more information. The NIH article is a bit dry and states more research is needed for a definitive answer on whether or not Journals are an effective tool but, “primary care providers should consider this as an adjunct therapy to complement current evidence-based management.”

Based on what I’ve read, you should but the journal. What the worst that could happen? If you don’t like it, you could always just burn it.
