When things don’t go quite as you’d hoped or planned, it’s easy to get frustrated, discouraged, or even really mad. You might even feel so upset that you don’t know what to do with yourself. Well, here’s an idea: Make a calm-down jar, shake it up when you’re feeling shaken yourself, and then take deep breaths as you watch the glitter fall. Once it settles, you’ll feel more settled too and ready to face the world again. We included this in our latest issue, The Magnificent Mistakes issue, as an easy DIY coping mechanism. Ours takes about 15 minutes to settle, so it’s perfectly timed. **It’s designed for children, but it also works for adults.
