Happster Brenda let us know about this jar of happiness idea & we think it’s awesome!
Here’s the concept behind it: Write something that makes you happy on a piece of paper every day and put it into the jar. Whenever you need a pick-me-up, dig into your jar and read your happy thoughts!
What do you think? Will you make a jar of happiness? Share it on Twitter or Instagram with #imahappster so we can check it out!

I decided to do this for 2013, too! But a few days after the new year, I started my first blog and my jar turned into a page on my blog, well, it’s more of a list now. A list of happiness!
It is working pretty well for me, as it makes me stop and think about the good things that happened, even if it is something small one day. It is much better than focusing your attention on the negative. I strongly recommend everyone to try it!
That’s great, Linda!

Thank you!
We did a similar type thing for my Dad’s 80th birthday….we made a “Precious moments jar”…the three of us children each wrote 10 precious moments that we had with our dad over our life on seperate little cards and put them in a jar. He could go to the jar whenever he felt like a pick me up and read one of precious moments spent with him….hel loved it!
That’s such a great idea!
This is such a lovely idea… I’ve heard of it before but I’ve never really *done* it – maybe this should change ASAP 😉 x
Love the idea!
And thank you for letting me find you 😀
Wow is a great idea.. somewhere to start collecting the happy moments. Thanks for sharing

Great idea to cheer you up
Love this – and it gives everyone something to talk about on New Year’s Eve when they look back on the year that was.
So true!

This is a definite must-do! I may end up becoming a little bit addicted to this site…
I myself have a gratitude jar 🙂 love it! thanks for the follow… i already see that i will enjoy doing the same. cheers!
Luv, luv, luv the happiness jar glad you shared this concept with the universe. I was raised on this practice instead we infused prayers. For all the Happsters speak gratitudes, liberation and joy over your life and your life shall follow the sounds of its temple. Namaste’
Such a good idea!
I do something similar but I use events. I have glass jar/thing dedicated to hold little slips of paper of cool/awesome things that have happened this year. I hope that by the end of the year, I’ll be able to see 2013 as one the best years yet.
That’s a great idea!
i use a similar jar but instead, i put my dreams in it, i love reading them back especially since i have a lot of weird dreams. Maybe 2014 will bring along a happy jar? 😛
It also makes an awesome gift to fill a jar with happy thoughts, memories, and personal attributes about a person and give it to them so they can pull out some love when they need it. I did that with the kids years ago for Father’s Day.
Reblogged this on walked-out walking-on.
Great idea to also combine with gratitude.
This is a fantastic idea….a jar of pick me ups..when ya need them the most…
What made me happiest was figuring out how to explain counter-clockwise to someone wearing a digital watch.
I love this idea and think I should include the rest of the family in it
Yes definitely! 🙂
This is so sweet! I did a ‘Love Jar’ in a similar smile for my boyfriend at Christmas- I hadn’t thought I could make one for me too! Thanks!

Wonderful idea! We have a jar this year called, Jar of Blessings. We put in notes when we get blessed! Thanks for writing and for reading my blog!
Thankyou for liking my post and following my blog. I’ll be following yours too. You seem to have some good ideas about how to keep happy. Never a bad thing really.
I already keep a happiness journal by my bed where I write down a happy thought for the day before I go to bed. 🙂 But I love the idea of a happiness jar at work! That’s where I stress a lot and it’d be great to have a jar with happy thoughts from my work day to dig through when the going gets tough. Great idea!
Love this!! Such a fantastic thing to do! 😀
If I just keep writing slips of paper that say “chocolate” does that count…? 🙂
This is a great idea. I write Gratitude entries on my blog, but I like this idea of building a specific place within my apartment as a visual reminder.
Awesome idea – will definitely be doing this!! Thanks for sharing.

Something I have been wanting to do for some time, but continue to forget. Maybe this will serve as a reminder…
