They say that 45% of things you worry about never take place and 25% of things have already taken place. So at least 70% of our worrying is useless. With the new year approaching, this fact is great to remember and carry into the new year. And the other 30%? Have you heard of a worry jar?

When confronted with a worry, write it down and put it in your jar. Pray, meditate, talk to someone about it. Open it at the end of the year and see how that 70% rang true for your life in the year that passed.

If you just want a reminder to surrender your worries and let things that are not important go, maybe just acquire a Sun Jar. Instructables has the step by step for making your own. The Sun Jar accumilates sunlight during the day and glows in the dark. Maybe the best remedy for our own worrying is focusing on someone else instead of our selves and being a light in their darkness. Happy New Year!
