Wishes & Regrets Journaling: 7-Day Release That Heals

Introduction

Sending good wishes is a small but powerful practice: it shifts focus from regret to compassion, opens space for healing, and reconnects you to hope. Use these ready-made wishes during your 7-day release journaling, when writing letters you won’t send, saying goodbye in ritual, offering forgiveness, or simply lifting someone’s day. Each message can be adapted for private reflection, spoken aloud, or shared with another person.
