Who here loves arts and crafts? I sure do!
Do you love inspirational quotes?? Because those are my FAVORITE!!
Did you know you can put both together??? Yes!!!
One of my favorite arts and crafts I ever did was making my own personal motivational popsicle sticks! What? Popsicles? Yes! They are super easy to make and lots of fun, especially if you are feeling down.
WHY MAKE THEM?
Well, we live in a crazy world and sometimes we need a moment to feel motivated or inspired. While I was in treatment, every time we ate a meal we had these popsicle sticks on the table. We would pull one out before the meal and it gave us a chance to receive some positivity in our day. I think it is important to add some light in your life especially when you are surrounded by darkness. Also, these little wooden sticks gave me an opportunity to change my perspective on how I saw the world and myself.
I keep my motivational sticks right next to my bed and every morning I pull one out. It helps me start the day in a positive mood. I personally suggest keeping them in a place you can easily find, like on your end table or in your kitchen. You can look at them in the morning, before you go to bed, or even during the day. If you are in a bad mood, they also can help change your point of view. It can be fun too, because you never know what quote you are going to get!
Start searching for your quotes and get your materials! Start motivating yourself and do some arts and crafts in the meantime.
How to make them:
1. Collect some of your favorite quotes.
2. Write them on your Popsicle sticks with a sharpie marker (colors are up to you).
3. Keep them in a mason jar (If you want to get fancy go ahead and decorate your mason jar).
