Gratitude Jar

For the past few years I have actively kept a gratitude jar. In it I place little notes stating something positive that happened. I try to do this at least a few times a week so that I can keep everything in perspective. Last year it was a real treat to sit down on and look at each and every great thing that had happened the year before.

As 2014 comes to a close, I am excited to read and review the year. This practice has allowed me to really focus on gratitude and commit to it. It has changed my life and I know that a lot of my positivity is a result of this way of life.

I urge you all to create a gratitude jar, box or whatever! Put in tickets stubs from plays, movies or sporting events. Write down the little things that made your week or day. It could be something as basic as, you saved a few dollars in an unexpected sale. We take the little things for granted but those little things can make or break our attitude. Stay positive! Stay grateful!
