Having a jar of positivity is a wonderful idea! Here are suggestions on a variety of ways to use it:
Daily Dose of Positivity: Create a jar of positive notes, motivational quotes, inspirational quotes, affirmations, or uplifting messages. Every day, set aside a few moments to open the jar and read one or more positive notes from it. Let the positivity soak in and start your day with a smile.
- Start the Day Together: Begin each morning with a group branch activity, where everyone selects a positive quote from the jar to set a positive tone for the day.
- Personalized Employee Jars: Create individual jars for each employee to use, allowing them to choose a positive quote or affirmation whenever needed.
- Customers/Members Jar: Provide a jar for customers/members to use, inviting them to select a positive quote or share something they are grateful for, fostering positivity and community.
Gratitude Jar: Use the jar as a gratitude jar. Whenever something positive or grateful happens in your life, write it down on a small piece of paper and place it in the jar. Over time, the jar will fill up with moments of joy and appreciation. Whenever you need a pick-me-up, read through the notes to remind yourself of the good things in life.
Random Acts of Kindness: Create a jar similar to the Positivity Jar and call it a Random Acts of Kindness Jar. Place a jar filled with random acts of kindness ideas in a common area and encourage individuals to take a slip whenever they want to perform a kind gesture, fostering a culture of compassion and generosity. This will allow you to brighten someone else’s day with a kind gesture, compliment, or thoughtful action.
Sharing Positivity: Share the positivity with friends, family, or colleagues. You can use the jar as a source of inspiration for greeting cards, letters, or small gifts. Send positive messages to other to uplift their spirits and let them know you’re thinking of them.
Personal Reflection: Use this jar for personal reflection and growth. Whenever you face challenges or difficult times, draw a positive note from the jar and reflect on its message. Allow the positive words to inspire you and help you navigate through tough moments.
Gratitude Jar: Start with an empty jar and simply write down one thing you’re grateful for on a slip of paper each day and place it in the jar. Over time, the jar will accumulate a collection of gratitude notes that you can reflect on and appreciate.
Remember, the jar of positivity is a versatile tool that you can adapt to suit your needs and preferences. The key is to harness the power of positivity and spread it throughout your life and the lives of others.
