2. Create a Gratitude Jar- Find the Positivity throughout the day:
3. Create a Mindful Bottle (if you were absent the last day)
Ways to use your jar:
For Calming
The swirling glitter is very calming as it falls to the bottom of the bottle, for both kids and adults. If you are feeling agitated, try it for yourself. Shaking the bottle feels just as good as watching the last few specks of glitter fall to the bottom of the bottle.
For Relaxation
In the same way it can calm you when you're agitated, shaking the bottle and watching the glitter settle can further relaxation when you're already calm. Use it when you are getting ready for sleep.
For Learning About the Brain
When your emotions are rising up, the brain (the bottle) floods with cortisol (the glitter) and you flip your lid (shake the bottle), losing access to the prefrontal cortex, its flexibility and reasoning capabilities. As you breathe, the cortisol dissipates (the glitter settles to the bottom) and you feel calmer and the prefrontal cortex comes back online, making it easier to feel calm and make better decisions.
4. Make Playdoh and create.
