Quote of the day…

“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”

John Lennon

Life throws curveballs. One moment you’re soaring high, the next you’re facing unexpected challenges. When self-doubt creeps in and negativity threatens to overwhelm, a little boost of positivity can make all the difference. That’s where an “affirmation jar” comes in.

What is an Affirmation Jar?

Simply put, an affirmation jar is a container filled with positive messages to uplift and inspire you. Think of it as your own personal source of encouragement and motivation.

Creating Your Affirmation Jar:

1. Gather your materials: You’ll need a jar or box, small pieces of paper, and pens or markers.
2. Write your affirmations: Brainstorm a list of positive affirmations that resonate with you. Here are a few examples:
   • “I am strong and capable.”
   • “I am worthy of love and happiness.”
   • “I am grateful for all that I have.”
   • “I am proud of myself.”
   • “I am learning and growing every day.”
3. Create your affirmations: Write each affirmation on a separate piece of paper.
4. Decorate your jar: Get creative! Decorate your jar with ribbons, stickers, or paint to make it visually appealing.
5. Fill your jar: Fold the affirmation slips and place them inside your jar.

Using Your Affirmation Jar:

Whenever you’re feeling down, discouraged, or in need of a little extra motivation, simply reach into your jar and pull out a random affirmation. Read the message aloud and allow it to uplift and inspire you.

The Power of Positive Affirmations:

Affirmations can be a powerful tool for:

• Boosting self-esteem: By reminding you of your strengths and worth.
• Reducing stress and anxiety: By promoting a more positive and optimistic mindset.
• Overcoming self-doubt: By encouraging you to believe in yourself and your abilities.
• Cultivating a more positive outlook: By shifting your focus from negativity to positivity.

So, why not give it a try? Create your own affirmation jar and experience the power of positive self-talk for yourself.
