Positive Postcard Day was created to remind you to join the Positive Postcard Project which affirms your most positive traits. This no-fee activity brings you surprises throughout the year. So how do you join? Here are some instructions I wrote several years ago.
First, write down seven positive traits about yourself. Next, obtain seven postcards. Write a note to yourself about each trait on a different postcard. When you are done, you will have seven postcards, each with a note to yourself about one of the positive traits you listed.
You may write a note as simple as this:
"Dear Sally,
You are very imaginative.
Love,
Sally"
Or:
"Dearest, remarkable Sally,
You are wildly and wonderfully imaginative!
Much love and respect and affection to you, girl,
Sally"
THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF COLORS
Why seven traits and seven cards? Because a musical major scale has seven notes, a week has seven days, a telephone number has seven numbers, a rainbow has seven colors. Seven is a good number.
Speaking of rainbows, it is highly recommended that you get writing utensils that write each of the seven colors -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo , and violet. Use one of the colors for writing each of your postcards so you will have a rainbow of postcards when you are done.
Now address your cards to yourself and stamp them.
For the rest of the intructions, I will send you over to Kevin Eikenberry's blog post because he added some great business-related ideas to the Project.
I hope you join. You will likely enjoy and benefit from the Positive Postcard Project much more than you expect.
