So how does the jar project work?
You and someone close to you exchange jars - I’m doing it with my best friend. So I’ll her jar and she’ll have mine. I’ve just bought some 1litre plastic jars as they’ll be easier to post and they’re a nice size to fill.
Over the course of 2025 (or any year you’re doing this project) fill the jar with things like
- Positive quotes
- Messages of encouragement, hope or positivity
- Achievements you want to share with your jar buddy
- Uplifting messages or song lyrics or poems etc
- Anything else positive that you can think of
I also encourage you to decorate your jars.
Just before New Year exchange jars and give your jar back to the person you have made the jar for.
New Year can often be a difficult time for our mental health so the purpose of the jar is to have something to open at New Year and to look through all the positive messages and quotes and achievements your jar buddy has written for you (or drawn) and to have something uplifting to look through.
