Would you like an easy way to record happy thoughts and moments without having to do a gratitude journal? Today, I share with you the art of the Happiness Jar. Tune in to learn what it is, how it works, and the benefits you can enjoy. 

 

Transcript:

 

Welcome to Everyday Happiness. I'm your host Katie Jefcoat, and I have a special programming note.  At the end of this month, we are taking a break from our beloved daily happiness podcast. We are transferring all of the research, the insights and happiness good vibes to our email subscribers.  The happiest email in your inbox.  The pivot is just the delivery system.  From podcast to email.  Our team has created almost 650 podcast episodes and we haven’t missed a day, which we are very proud of. 

 

I invite you to jump over to www.katiejefcoat.com/email  and subscribe so that we can have virtual coffee in your inbox.       

 

Over here at Everyday Happiness, we have talked about gratitude journals and kindness elf mail, but we have yet to talk about Happiness Jars. Have you heard of them? Brought into popularity by Elizabeth Gilbert nearly a decade ago, Happiness Jars are a phenomenal way to record the happy moments of life quickly and easily.

A Happiness Jar is exactly what it sounds like; it is a jar for happiness. All you do is take a small piece of paper, write down your happiest moment of the day, date it, and drop it in. Takes all of 30 seconds. You can add to the jar daily, once a week, or whenever the moment strikes you. Gilbert explained that when she created this Happiness Jar, it allowed her to identify, appreciate, and remember the genuine moments of happiness, which were often little blips during the day that would otherwise go unnoticed, such as the warmth of the sun shining on your face, a funny conversation with your mother, an awesome nap, or a hug from your child. Then, when she was feeling down, she pulled out some notes and reread them to spark a little extra joy.

Therapists agree that a Happiness Jar practice can benefit your life. They said this type of gratitude practice can:

-          Increase overall mental and physical health

-          Improve relationships and satisfaction

-          Help shift away from a negative mindset

-          Improve self-esteem

-          And aid in savoring life

If you are interested in making a Happiness Jar for yourself, it is really quite simple. All you have to do is find a container of some sort, decorate it, and place it in an easy-to-remember spot with a pen. It can be as fancy or as simple as you like. Remember, this is YOUR happiness jar; you can do with it as you please. Maybe instead of writing a happy moment one day, you write a prayer, add a ticket stub, or let someone add their own happy memory. When the jar gets full, make a new one! Keep the old notes in a box, make a scrapbook, or burn them for good luck. The possibilities are literally endless. So, if you are looking for an easy way to jot down your happy moments, I encourage you to make a Happiness Jar.

Until next time, remember kindness is contagious. Maybe your kind action will end up as a note in someone else’s happiness jar.
