2013 Journals, Planners and Emotion Jars

I got excited when I found a lot of things to do during this year. I've succeeded to do the Emotion Jars and now, I'm going to try my best not to be such a slack when it comes to HANDwriting things. I'm also doing the 365 photos in a year challenge and another 365 day challenge which I've seen on my friend's blog. So here is a brief overview of the stuff I'm going to do routinely throughout the year.

Emotion Jars

I know they look traditional / native, but I have no other choice. It's the only thing I can find here at home. Nothing else, not even used jars. They look "Errrr" but it's better than nothing. I get some bonus time because I need not to decorate them. (I've already had two thoughts on two of those jars, and I'm really really excited to fill them all up).

The next thing (and this is actually my favourite, because I fancy notebooks) are my journals / planners / diaries). I just didn't notice I've had too much pink stuff. Lately I've been buying pink too often, and I don't even notice until I go out of the store. Could it be my mystery favourite colour? Oh my gosh. Too typical. Anyway, here they are.

Would you believe me if I tell you I got them all from The Reject Shop? They're cheap but good. The last photo, well I wrapped it with curtain cloth material. I stapled it and it may look pretty on the photo but it's a disaster. The staples are obvious and it's not the perfect A4 notebook. I got it from woolworths and it costs a dollar. Oh my gosh, and I just remembered, it's colour pink on the inside! God. Pink overload. I wish I had a Tiffany journal. I'll worship it more than anything else. Ha. But anyway, I hope I'll have fun. Goodluck to my future callouses. Ugh.

Bonus:

The Tiffany and Co. Journal

Isn't it lovely? But to be honest, it's just the same as others. The only difference is that it's from TIFFANY & CO. I so love it. This is my favourite colour and not pink! Haha.

2013 Agenda (One)

This year is about to end and one of the most popular traditions is the so-called “New Year’s Resolution.” Well a New Year’s Resolution is considered a promise to oneself, that oftentimes is not fulfilled. So instead of making a New Year’s Resolution, I will make an agenda of the things I wish to do, considering that these things will help me become a better person. I would like to share this to you, for you may feel like you also want to do it. You can also tweak things you didn’t like and change it to what favours you the most.

The Jar of Emotions

Three jars will be used for the first thing to do on the first day of 2013. The first jar will be called the “Positive Jar.” The second jar will be called the “Negative Jar.” And the third one will be called “The Jar of Wishes.”

The Positive Jar will consist of all the things, big or small, that have made you happy or smile, or made you feel positive throughout the year. For each thought or thing, you will have to write vague details on a small piece of paper which will be enough to make you remember the cause of your positiveness. Each paper should have the date, time and day of the said thought. After writing it, you then roll it and drop it inside the jar.

The same thing shall be done to the two jars, only in the Negative Jar, the things that would be written are the things you consider to have a negative effect on your life and being and The Jar of Wishes shall contain all you dreams and aspirations.

Lastly, The Jar of Randomness should contain all of the memories you wish not to forget. At the end of the year, you will read each piece of paper. As you read the Positive Jar, I’m sure all of you will smile again.

As for The Negative Jar, after reading, you can choose either to burn or throw these things away. This will symbolise that you have moved on and will never get affected by the same things again.

The Jar of Wishes is like a collection of the things you wish to be done in the upcoming year. This will then be the basis of the things you are determined to achieve. As you read through them, separate each in categories: the first is when you still feel that you want to do the wish, second if you are sure you don’t want to continue the dream, and third will be the indecisive category. Once finished, you can smile happily, proud of yourself because you have made it through another year. Stronger than ever.

And maybe you want to decorate your own jars to make it look appealing!
