Glitter Jar
Representation Matters • 8m 48s
Just like all of the parts of our body work together to create a unique person, our thoughts and feelings all work together to create our personalities. Your personality is how you act with different people at different moments. There are so many unique parts of our personality and they are all important. Shake up your glitter jar and watch all the specks of glitter swirl around. It's hard to keep track right? Now continue to watch as they all start to settle. They all stop bumping into each other and together they lower to the bottom of the jar. Imagine those specks are all of your thoughts and feelings bumping into each other. As you start to breathe and time goes by they start to move together and settle. When we fight through our feelings instead of working through them our mind can start to feel like that shaken jar. We can always take a moment, breathe, and allow ourselves to settle.
