Have you heard of Operation Beautiful? I first saw a post-it note on the mirror in a public restroom with the simple message on it, “You are beautiful!!” How simple, yet so profound.
Operation Beautiful was started by Caitlin, a young lady who is dedicated to ending negative self-talk, and hopes we can all encourage a positive body image in ourselves and others. She began by writing positive messages on sticky notes and leaving them on the mirrors in public restrooms everywhere. Her mission has developed into a blog which has inspired thousands of people everywhere to write anonymous positive messages for others to enjoy.
How can you get involved? Write a motivating note on a post-it note and put it up in a public place– such as on a bathroom mirror, in the gym locker room, or leave one in a grocery cart for the next person to see. If you wish, you can write www.OperationBeautiful.com on the bottom so other people can find the site and pass it on!
It is INSPIRING to me how one person’s simple idea can have such a HUGE impact on others!
