Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Start by collecting the materials you'll need. You'll need a jar with a lid (a mason jar works perfectly), a stack of colorful paper, a pen, and optional decorative items like stickers or ribbons. Having these materials ready will make the process smooth and more enjoyable.

Step 2: Decorate Your Jar

Use this opportunity to get creative. Decorate your jar by adding stickers, painting it, or wrapping it with a decorative ribbon. The goal is to personalize your Happiness Jar so it draws you to it every day.

Step 3: Cut Your Notes

Take the colorful papers and cut them into small, manageable pieces. These will be your notes. Make sure they are big enough to write a few words or sentences about your happy moments.

Step 4: Reflect and Write

Each day, take a moment to reflect on what made you happy, however small it might seem. Write this down on one of your prepared notes and place it in your jar. This practice helps cultivate gratitude and mindfulness.

Step 5: Review on Special Occasions

Set aside special times, maybe at the end of the month or during challenging times, to read through your notes. Revisiting these memories can be a beautiful reminder of the positive aspects of your life.
