This is an activity my case worker taught me, and since it’s been so helpful for me I wanted to share it with everyone!
A ‘Success Jar’ is a jar full of positive victories from your day to day life, to remind you of just how succesful you are on those hard days.
If successes won’t cheer you up, you could also fill a jar with happy memories or positive quotes. I’m working on doing all three.
A few sheets of paper 🗒 (I recommend fun colours!)
A jar 📦 (or box, or bag, or basket, or really any storage container)
Pens 🖊 (again, colours!!!)
Step 1: Cut your paper up into small strips, size isn’t important as long as you can write on them.
Step 2: Write down a success story. It could be a small achievement or a big one, it doesn’t matter, they’re all important!
Step 3: Fold up the strip and drop it in your jar. You want to fill that thing with positivity!
Step 4: Whenever you feel down, empty your jar and take the time to remind yourself just how successful you are.
I really hope this helps everyone out as much as it has been helping me! If you do start the jar, please share pictures with us ‘cause we would love to see.
