There are moments in life when feeling grateful for what we have just isn’t an option. We want the bigger, nicer car or the mansion rather than just accept the things that we have in our lives. We need gratitude in our lives as a way to enjoy the present for what it is. We need gratitude in order to be spiritually healthy. Yet, how do we incorporate it into our lives? If you’re a fan of Pinterest like I am then you’ve probably seen the gratitude jar floating around.
What is it?
A gratitude jar is a simple mason jar where you add little notes of gratitude into. Design it if you want, but remember that life isn’t always exactly Pinterest worthy so if you want to keep it simple, go on ahead. Life isn’t always perfect and your gratitude jar doesn’t have to be either!
Keep this little jar in a part of your home where you can see it daily. Keep some small pieces of paper nearby to write down what you’re feeling grateful for when you feel inspired. It’s an easy way to remind yourself to feel grateful for what you have. It’s also a small reminder to keep yourself in the present moment. Always remember to count your blessings!
What do you think of the gratitude jar? Will you use it to bring gratitude into your home?
