We are heading towards end of year 2022. So, count your blessings and be grateful. Take a jar and make small slips, write what good had happen till now in 2022, one by one in that slip, fold it and put it in the jar. You will find reason to be happy when you see that jar over and over again. Fill your jar of happiness.
You will see there are so many reasons to smile, to be happy. The first reason for all of us is for sure that we are alive despite of deadly outbreak of pandemic. Be thankful, celebrate each day, spread happiness, be kind and humble. I am sure we all have so much to cherish in life than our sorrows. Divert your attention from regrets to blessings. We all are blessed children of God. Focus on people who love you than who just pretend to love you or don’t like you.
It’s well said ‘God’s plan is better than our wishes‘. It’s just that we can’t understand his blessings. ‘Every cloud has silver lining‘. It’s just when we divert our focus from clouds to silver lining. Celebrate small achievements, small happiness. This will make life more happy for us and everyday will be celebrated. Celebration means happiness.
When you fill your jar with happiness, don’t just keep it aside, rather, when you have time open a slip a day, one by one. Think about that happy moment, gather all the memories about it. Photographs or write how you feel about your that happy moment. Writing the feeling will make you live it again and your heart will fill with happiness. You will forget about your sadness.
Buy a jar for your loved ones and gift it on any occasion. Tell them to do the same. Christmas and New Year is approaching and festivity is in everyone’s mind. The thought of celebration infuse a spark in our body and soul. We forget everything and plan how to celebrate, what to buy, whom to visit, whom to invite and so on. Get togethers are good for making memories which will stay with you for lifetime.
Coming back to ‘Jar of Happiness’, write your happiest day, your most memorable evening, etc of the year. Hope you will find this activity enjoyable and helpful. Stay happy and healthy.
