Write it down. Speak it out loud. Express it through song. Convey it through gifts. Say a little prayer. There\u2019s every which way to cultivate the attitude of gratitude. And for those on the artsy side, there\u2019s a jar for that.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s a widely known fact that this practice is a key ingredient to happiness. And it has, according to psychologist Robert A. Emmons, Ph.D., the power to do three things: to heal, to energize, and to change lives.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s even more interesting is how gratitude works on our minds and bodies, and how a gratitude jar<\/strong> can help you reap the benefits.<\/p>\n

What is a gratitude jar?<\/h2>\n

A gratitude jar is a simple container where you place written notes about the moments, people, and experiences you appreciate.<\/p>\n

It follows the same concept as a gratitude journal<\/a>. But the thing is, not everyone is into notebooks or downloading yet another app (if you\u2019re pro-digital). So, an alternative you can opt for is a gratitude jar.<\/p>\n

Thankful for the feast on your table? Write it on a piece of paper and stuff it in the jar.
Appreciate your partner for washing the dishes? Scribble it down on a napkin and toss it in the jar.
Grateful for the Mindvalley community<\/a>? (*Cough*\u2014shameless plug\u2014*cough*<\/em>) Put it on a Post-It and add it to the jar.<\/p>\n

One great thing it has over the other options is that it creates a visual reminder. Notebooks often end up in drawers, and devices need an extra step before you can jot something down.<\/p>\n

But having a gratitude jar sitting on a counter filled with note after note after note (imagine it with colorful paper<\/em>) can be a wonderful way to see all your blessings.<\/p>\n

The more you train your brain to spot them, the more you begin to experience them in your own life.<\/p>\n

This might seem like a brand new idea\u2014it\u2019s not\u2026 but it\u2019s a powerful one. In fact, Oprah and singer SZA are advocates of this practice. Check out the latter\u2019s sweet moment describing it on Sesame Street<\/em>:<\/p>\n
