Gratitude

This year I am choosing to remember everything in 2022 that I am grateful for. I started my gratitude jar on January 1st. Yesterday was my birthday and I went to add to the jar. To my surprise, I had already accumulated quite a few notes in the jar. There is no way that I would remember all the wonderful things that I have been blessed with all year. This will be a forever tradition for me because we often lose sight of how blessed and fortunate we are.

What’s a gratitude jar?

A gratitude jar is a way to capture and remember all of the people, experiences, and things that you are grateful for throughout the year. It is a quick journal of your blessings! Continue to add notes throughout the year, then at the end of the year read all the notes!

How to create your gratitude jar

Find and decorate a jar (if you like) - I like a clear jar that way I can walk by and get a visual reminder of just how blessed I am!

Have a small notepad, or if you are like me, some small post-it notes, near the jar. I like using different colored post-it notes. It just draws attention to the number of things I have to be grateful for.

Write down any and all things that you are grateful for on a sticky note (I make sure I put the date on each note)

Celebrate all your yearly “winnings'“ as much as possible. You will be surprised how full your jar will be!
