She’s Crafty: Blessings Jar

It is easy to take for granted the good things that are happening in your life, especially when you are in the mist of the storm. However, the truth of the matter is that you always have something to be thankful for. I know it may seem like the world is on your shoulders and that a brighter day will never come, but trust me it will. A quick way to ease the pain and brighten everyday is by DIYing a Blessing Jar.

Sometimes you need a little reminder of how awesome you are! It may seem unrealistic but even the smallest accomplishment can take your mind off of the burden of life.

The concept is simple:

1. Buy or find an empty Mason jar
2. Decorate the Mason jar anyway you see fit
3. Everyday when you wake up and/or feel extremely grateful write a “blessing” down on a scrap sheet of paper
4. When you are feeling down, pick a sheet of paper from the blessings jar and read what you are blessed to have in life.

Trust me, starting off with a positive affirmation will definitely make that day that much better.
