Create a Good Life Jar

Create a "Good Life" jar for your home or give it as an inspirational gift.

It can be a fun activity to do as a family or for your individual self. In this recycled mason jar I have placed slips of paper with different words that speak to me. Use them as simple steps to improve each day. You can be as creative as you wish. Simply pick several different topics or words that you would like to incorporate more of into your life.

For example, your slips might read:

FOOD - Make a new recipe., Surprise someone with a home cooked meal. Deliver food to the needy. Drink more water. Try to go vegan for a day. Stay away from sugar for one day.

You get the idea. Simply write anything that speaks to you in the moment.

FUN- Have a picnic at the park, go see a movie, pamper yourself with a facial, massage or a mani/pedi. Take a walk on the beach..

BEAUTY- Create your own organic home-made face mask. Go get a haircut. Dry brush your body to increase circulation.

SLEEP- Download the Calm app and listen to a bedtime story, dab some lavender essential oil on your wrists before bed, set your intentions for the next day before you fall asleep, count your blessings.

LOVE - Do something unexpected for someone you love. Do a random act of kindness to a stranger. Give someone a compliment. Write a card or a letter to a loved one.

GROWTH- Explore some self growth audio books. Read a book on self help. Sign up for a class that interests you. Take an online course.

CONNECTION - Give more hugs. Plan a lunch with a co-worker. Plan some quality time with your family.

These are just a few examples of some creative ways you can share the "Good Life". Pick a slip of paper from your "Good Life" Jar at the beginning of each day and make it come to life.
