3 Reasons Why The Happy Jar Is A Self Care Game Changer

When's the last time you stopped to think about the things that made you happy? Chances are, you haven't been making an effort to focus on the positive. And that's okay. Life gets busy. We often let our fears, stresses, and anxieties get in the way. Well, not anymore! Step aside, anxiety. The Happy Jar is here to save the day.

1. Your self-awareness is increased

The Happy Jar challenges you to write down one thing a day that makes you happy. This means that throughout the day, you become aware of your feelings and think about how your surroundings are impacting your happiness.

2. You start to notice and enjoy the little things

Your Happy Jar entry can be anything from a good hair day or a cute puppy you see walking down the street. It doesn't have to be major. Day by day, you start to appreciate the little things less.

3. You become a kinder version of yourself

You see, when you notice that a small act of kindness like a stranger smiling at you on the street can impact your day in a positive way, you want to spread the kindness to others. Maybe, just maybe, you'll be their piece of happy.

4. You always have something to look forward to

At the end of each month, you're encouraged to read all the things that made you happy that month. Having a month's worth of happiness to catch up on gives you something to look forward to.

5. You have the power to turn any crappy day around

If you're having a hard time on one particular day, you can take a Happy Note out of the Happy Jar. Reading something that made you happy earlier that month will immerse you into a positive state of mind. Chances are, it'll lift your spirits!
