The Gratitude Jar, a Wellness Practice
It’s a pretty simple practice!
You will need a vase and some colorful small pieces of paper.
You will note the event, the date, and feelings every time something significant happens. Then, you will put it inside the jar.
Also, you can write down positive news, experiences, or anything else that made you happy and enthusiastic about life!
You will open this jar at the end of the year and read all your notes!
The benefits of Gratitude Jar a Wellness Practice
By using the jar, you will realize all your blessings! Additionally, you will learn that no matter how hard life seems, it always contains moments of happiness and a genuine connection with loved ones. This practice will change the way you see and experience your life! But we won’t tell you more; we don’t want to “spoil” everything that will happen after this gratitude practice.
Do the deed and live the experience!
How to create a gratitude jar

Why we need a gratitude practice in our lives
Gratitude is high on the vibrational scale of emotions!
When we are in a state of gratitude, we have a potent energy.
“If the only prayer you ever said was ‘Thank you,’ that’s enough.” Eckhart Tolle
Gratitude is expressing appreciation for what you receive and has in your life. Indeed, thinking based on lack creates a tremendous void in our lives, while when we focus on gratitude, we attract all we desire.
Also, an essential point about gratitude is the energy we send out around the planet. All of us are connected and influence each other. When we begin to see the beauty in this life, beautiful things happen to all of us!
We could spend a lot of time analyzing how this happens and the mechanisms of our brains. But we prefer to experience everything described above and create personal experience. We suggest you do the same and see the results in life!
Boost your mood with a gratitude jar
This practice can also become the means to feel better in everyday life. Whenever you don’t feel so good or your day doesn’t go as expected, you can open the jar and read one or more of cards. It is vital to connect with all the beautiful feelings you felt, the unity & the beautiful moments that life gave you.
Place the paper over your heart and hold it with both hands. Close your eyes and connect with this moment of your life; see yourself in this particular experience. Stay there as long as you need and when you are ready, open your eyes and fully experience the now moment. You will be surprised by how different your mood and feelings will be.
