Positives Jar
 

For a couple of years I have kept a positives jar rather than making resolutions and I've found it a good experience so wanted to suggest it here for anyone who might be interested. Basically you just get a jar (I decorated mine) and throughout the year when you feel something good has happened you write it on a piece of paper, fold it up, and put it in the jar. Then at the end of the year you open the jar and remember all the good things. It can be things like events, something someone has said to you, anything that is positive for you. This year I only had 2 pieces of paper in my jar which may be a bit sad but it was still good to read them. I'll share them here so you maybe can get an idea - one was having a good morning routine (I wrote that one when I had been getting out of bed in the morning for a number of weeks in a row) and one was a joke that someone told me which was a wordplay on a doctor's name and I thought it was really funny.

I like this idea. I hope you have plenty to put in your jar for 2018.

This is such a lovely idea

I'm going to do this as it's such a lovely idea.

I do this! I try to remember to write something every day but that never happens. But I do still end up with lots of lovely positive things at the end of the year :)

I did this last year, I managed to do it for three whole days. *headdesk*

I don't know if I could think of one thing every day, I just write significant things as they happen.

Why don’t we create a thread of positive things we have done each day to keep each other accountable?

What a lovely idea :)

Did anyone do this? I enjoyed looking at what was in my jar this year.

I didn't do it last year, but I've eaten a jar of pickles in preparation for doing it this year :) I'm really glad it was pleasant for you to read about things that you'd put in your jar. They're always nice memories to keep.

Good idea! I give everyone permission to finish a jar of something so they can do this! I hope you have some nice things to look back on at the end of this year.

*finally has a use for a jar decorated in a psych unit ages ago*

A case of, here's one I made earlier...

Ha ha that reminds me of a party I went to in uni where you had to dress as a kids tv programme you liked when you were young and I went as Art attack.

That sounds amazing! What was your costume like?
