Today is National Compliment Day. A true compliment can really brighten our day. Kind words make us feel seen and appreciated, so why not spread this love throughout the year? What if you could receive a heartwarming message at just the right moment?

Get together with some friends and build compliment jars that you can pull from on rough days. (You can also do this virtually if you don't have any witchy friends close by.)

Have every person bring a stack of small paper sheets, a writing pen, a small Mason jar, and a paint pen. Use colorful paper such as sticky notes, index cards, or construction paper cut into eighths to bring some additional cheer with your messages. Fill your sheets with kind words that could apply to any of your friends. Line up the jars (if you're doing this with a group) and deposit the messages in each. Use the paint pen to bless and adorn your personal jar with symbols that remind you of good feelings— hearts, stars, rainbows, etc. Then pull from your jar on the days when you need a little pick-me-up! You can also collect your favorite compliments and save them for later.
