Kathy547's blog: Positive Affirmation box

I have been seeing posts & articles where some people are not taking quarantine well. They are finding themselves lonely, depressed, or both. Some are not feeling good about themselves, their circumstances, etc. Why not make these people positive affirmation boxes? This would be a great activity for individuals or families, as well as church groups, Scouts, etc. Positive Affirmation Boxes could be given to elderly in nursing homes, teens, single parents, people you suspect may be lonely or depressed.

Of course, you would need to research how to protect yourself & others when delivering this box!!!

This is a box I got a long time ago. There is a Bible verse on one side & a simple saying on the other.





Most of these "positive affirmations boxes" or "can of hope" or whatever you want to call them, have 365. That way, you have one a day. But you could have more or less depending on your container. You could have Bible verses, positive affirmations, or both to mix it up. You want to give a person who is extremely sad or lonely or have lost all hope to feel a little better. If they have more better moments than bad ones, that's a great thing. And maybe they get out of their funk.

Boxes can be as small as an altoid tin. You can make them out of cigar boxes, shoe boxes, old cookie tins, coffee cans, literally anything. Paint or decorate to make it nicer & more individual.

Google has tons of positive affirmations you can get. And there are tons of positive Bible verses. Here are a couple websites with positive affirmations:

I would love to see examples of any anyone makes. Or hear stories of how one of these helped you.
