Every Thursday, we offer a way to give back in the community. This week’s Give Back Thursday suggestion is a Joy Jar! Read on for more details.
Feeling joyful is wonderful! When something good happens in our life, we feel positive emotions. From excitement to pure joy, it feels good. Sometimes, that feeling can make us want to spread joy to others. This can be done through kind words and good deeds. Are there other ways to spread joy?
For this week’s Give Back Thursday, we suggest a Joy Jar! Create a Joy Jar by taking a canning jar, or other type of jar, and labeling it with the word “Joy”. Every time that something good happens in your life, or you feel joyful, add change to that jar. This will help you to recognize how often you feel joyful. As the change in the jar collects, you will appreciate your positive moments. If you find that there are not enough positive moments, perhaps this will help you to make changes to allow for more.
After six months to one year of collecting change in your Joy Jar, you can spread the joy! Take your collected change and donate it to a charity. Not only will you be able to recognize how often you feel joy, but you will also make others feel joyful. Our local nonprofits are in constant need of our financial support. The Joy Jar can be an easy way to put your spare change to good use. You will be recognizing the positives in your life, and donating money to help others. For this reason, we hope everyone takes advantage of this week’s Give Back Thursday suggestion of a Joy Jar!
