Blessings Jar- an alternative to new year resolutions

Welcome to the Nik Nak Box and to the new year of 2021!

For this post, I thought I would create an alternative to new year resolutions. A blessings jar.

One of my friends gave this to me a few years ago and it has always given me great joy whenever I read the little pieces of paper.

I adopt a certain system when it comes to writing for the blessings jar.

Pink sticky notes = fun moments that remind me of a fun time or a time I was proud of myself.

White letters = a small day recap. I write down what happened in the day or how I was feeling and always date the letter. While I don't write for the jar everyday, it is very rewarding to see how you are able to survive a year or time of your life and remember what you were feeling when you read the letters.

I sometimes write a Bible quote as well.

I have covered the jar in washi tape and a ribbon to give it a fun and colourful feel!
