Decorate the Plastic Bag

Using the permanent markers, decorate the plastic bag.

Make Affirmation Cards

Write a special affirmation message on each card. Loop the piece of string through the hole punched c`ards and tie a knot to secure them together.

Surprise Kyndness

Use random pages in the journal or gratitude journal to write short, uplifting messages, draw small, colorful images, or create fun writing prompts for the recipient.

Worry Stone

Worry stones are smooth, polished rocks used for relaxation or anxiety relief to help one feel grounded. The stone is meant to be kept in one's pocket. The physical act of massaging a worry stone for several minutes is proven to provide therapeutic & psychological benefits that help soothe your nervous system, reduce stress and anxiety, and help clear your mind so you can focus and think clearly. Decorate the drawstring bag with an inspirational or calming word to put the worry rock in.
