Sunday was a rough day for me. I let feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy get to me and my mood was less than stellar. Top that off with some unkind words from a friend taking their anger out on me and ended up going to bed feeling as though I’d been punched in the stomach.
Not a good day. When I woke up Monday morning I was still feeling the after-affects, but with a little more clarity about the people I need in my life, how I want to treat and speak to people, and a little more respect for myself. I decided that the best way to make myself feel a little better would be to make other people feel better. What better and simple way to do this than through some Operation Beautiful notes?
If you’re unfamiliar with Operation Beautiful, I wrote about the organization in December. Operation Beautiful was an idea started by fellow blogger, Caitlin, that turned into a movement, as well as several books she’s written.
So how do you participate in Operation Beautiful? From the website:
Write a motivating note on a post it and put it up in a public place– such as on a bathroom mirror, in the gym locker room, or even on a random car’s windshield. If you want, you can write the web address www.OperationBeautiful.com on the bottom so other women can find the site!

The idea is to leave an encouraging note somewhere for another person to find, as just a little something to brighten their day. I headed out Monday morning and everywhere I went I tried to leave notes. Haha it was hard to put them up in places like my gym locker room without anyone noticing me! But I did and I felt so much better knowing that at least one of those notes would make someone feel better.
Now it’s your turn. I challenge you to leave at least one Operation Beautiful note somewhere this week. Just grab a post-it, write an encouraging statement or quote, and leave it anywhere. The easiest place is on a bathroom mirror in a public restroom! Here are some ideas:
Are you going to leave a note?
Have you ever left or found an Operation Beautiful note?
What do you do when you have a rough day?
