The Yoga Jar

You've probably heard of a swear jar but what about a yoga jar? Even though a daily yoga practice is the key to inner peace I've never been able to practice daily. I've had some good 30-60+ day runs but when something unexpected pops up I fall off track and end up missing several days if not weeks.

So, this year I've committed to 300 days on the mat. This allows me to miss a day or two here and there with the goal of not missing two days in a row. But how to keep track? A yoga jar! We have a lot of quarters for our pinball machine and also had some Mason jars in the cupboard. Before each session starts I put a quarter on my mat and put it in the jar afterward. It's so satisfying and keeps me motivated. So far, I have 24 quarters in the jar.

If all goes well I'll have $75 at the end of the year to treat myself to something nice with. How about you? What tools do you have in place to stay on track with your healthy habits?
