THE ANTIDOTE TO TOXIC POSITIVITY

"On the surface this journal looks funny, but in a world where we are drowning in toxic positivity and making people feel less than when everything isn’t perfect, this journal was a great outlet to teach my daughter that things will never be perfect and it’s ok to acknowledge what sucks and have a place to let it all out in a safe way."

- Sabrina C.

Purge negativity the healthy way

A SAFE SPACE TO UNLOAD

This anger management journal is a safe place for venting about life's annoyances. Writing about your sources of aggravation can help you identify problematic patterns in your life and think about ways you can make changes.

Don't believe us? The Grievance Journal has actually been lauded by many mental health professionals — therapists, counselors, pychologists, and psychiatrists, among others — as a healthy outlet for life's daily frustrations. True story!

PARALYZED BY BLANK PAGES?

Lots of people who attempt to pick up the habit of consistent journaling don't stick with it — or don't even start — because when they open one their mind goes as blank as the page in front of them.


The Grievance Journal is loaded with 52 writing prompts covering a variety of relatable topics to help get your cranky creative juices flowing and help focus your negative energy in a productive way. Feel free to let loose about whatever is bothering you, though! They're prompts, not requirements!

NEED A CHUCKLE TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD?

In between writing prompts you'll find 52 darkly funny quotes to help quell the rage within, as well as blank un-lined pages to vent your frustration artistically via doodles, sticker collages, and other forms of creative self-expression.


Featuring 214 hard-bound pages of high quality 60# paper stock that will hold up to markers, fountain pens, pencils, gel pens, and more, the Grievance Journal can take almost anything you throw at it. Except fire. But hey, that just makes it a great burn book!

IT'S A GREAT VALUE

Think about what you typically spend $28 on to feel less angry at the world around you. Booze? Junk food? Some stupid app game where you smash candy together? Pssh.

These are all pretty fleeting experiences, whereas the Grievance Journal can provide WEEKS of enjoyment — 52, in fact — as a healthy way to discharge all the anger, frustration, and resentment that builds up and slowly poisons your body & mind.

THE GRIEVANCE JOURNAL ORIGIN STORY

I came up with the idea for this journal after my own failed attempts at gratitude journals.

I have struggled with anxiety and depression my entire life and have tried all the classic self-care interventions. Every time I tried to write in a gratitude journal I would think about how I appreciate my husband and my cat, but still generally felt annoyed with the exercise and would give up after a few days.


No matter how hard I tried to make it work, I just never found gratitude journaling helpful. What I wanted was to VENT. I noticed I always felt better after writing down what was bothering me. I thought to myself “I can't be the only person like this” and looked around for a journal suitable for venting. When I realized I couldn't find a journal that was geared to what I wanted I decided to create the Grievance Journal.


I wasn't sure if other people would relate, but our first batch of copies sold out in a few weeks and ever since its release we've heard from customers all over the world that the Grievance Journal is just what they needed.


If you're like me and have a tendency to spin out about things in your head when you're upset or stressed give the Grievance Journal a try! It's been a helpful mental health tool for me and so many of our customers have reported feeling the same way about it. It's nice to feel less alone with the sources of our stress and aggravation, even if it's just the page in front of you that's “listening” to you vent. I hope it's as helpful to you as it has been for me.
