It’s All About You!
We all have those days when we seethe silently inside,
letting an injustice get to us.
It can fester away in our minds all day and even for
weeks or perhaps a lifetime.
What we need is a place to write it down and let it wear
itself out so we can get on with the important things.
Not only that, it’s a fun way to keep a record of the
things that grind our gears and, perhaps, for us to laugh
at them later.
There is just enough room in each entry to smash down
your irk so it can be understood without writing a whole
tome on the subject.
We don’t need to embroil ourselves even further by
descending down any rabbit holes!
That could only make things worse!
Don’t dwell too much about the beef you have with the
situation. Get it down on paper, let the universe know
how you feel and move on.
You will start to enjoy (and look forward to) writing
raging entries and will have many ‘I must get that down’
moments.
It’s all about you and your own personal injustices.
Get it Down - Enjoy the Rage - Release it

‘Someone who is famous, or known by many’
Celebrities, huh? Some we love, some we
question if they really are from Planet Earth.
They invariably love the limelight and, in doing
so, feel the need to be always relevant.
This leads to celebrities, big and small,
becoming an embarrassment to themselves
without having the slightest notion they are,
in fact, most irrelevant.
Did a celebrity tick you off today? Did some
overpaid, smug, look-at-me limelight stealer
say or do something that made your skin
crawl?
Vent away!

7. The Purpose of this journal:
It’s all about not letting things get to you or let
situations fester away inside like a yapping
pooch that you can’t shake off.
It’s about letting go. Writing down the negative
things that busted up your day.
It’s about fun. Capturing that incident, or bit of
news that ruined your day, can help you see the
funny side in future references. Why did you get
so mad that day? Was it really that important
that it made for such a miserable day?
It’s about re-reading your entries to see if you
read the situation wrongly, or whether you were
quite justified in your assumption. Either way, you
can learn from it.
It’s about relief. Writing things down, with angst.
often helps take the foot off the gas when things
start to get you down.
Find fun in venting anger. The situation might not
be as bad as you first thought.
