When someone wants to share a secret with you, don't get into
drama and excitement of moment. The price is too high. Tell them, "No, thank you." Tell them this story and about price that is paid. Stop process. Start nipping it in bud. You don't need this, and you don't want people who fuel their life by pushing their secrets on you. Because when they give you their secret, they no longer carry weight, you now carry their weight. This is exactly why people want to give away their secrets, because they are too heavy for them.
You will definitely walk taller and carry a lot less weight on your shoulders. And sleep so much better at night.
Oops, got off topic of journaling here -- so, let me get back on track.
If you're secret is that powerfully deep, then write it down on separate paper, and burn it afterwards. Keep writing about on separate paper and keep burning it. You may need to do it many times until you begin to release secret from its stronghold, especially if secret has gone for a long time. People have shared with me over years that sometimes they had to do this exercise as many as 40 times when it was from long ago or secret was big.
Do same if you hold secret for other people. If you have enough courage, give secret back to them. Tell them you don't want to hold their secret any more and if someone asks you, you are going to just say it. Now, that takes a lot of courage but it sure does make a HUGE difference in who you are and your confidence. It will also make you think quickly before you accept another new secret.
Now, I didn't say this process was going to be easy. Then it isn't that hard either. You pick up pen, start with one secret, work through that one, and then burn it in a ritual over sink. Others will bubble up afterwards because our soul is recognizing an opportunity to free itself. To feel lighter and it will jump at chance. This will work, guaranteed! All you have to do is do it once and you will see.
If you are overweight, you will probably find yourself stop stuffing your face trying to bury secrets with food. That’s a good thing. I've known many a client and friend, who once started working on this loose many, many, pounds.
