Doesn’t it seem like the only time you get feedback is when you do something wrong? People rarely get noticed and recognized for doing something good – something out of the ordinary, or helpful, or beneficial to people around them. ARISE Foundation has come up with the perfect way to consciously reward people for doing something good. They are called “You’ve Been Noticed” Positive Tickets. They are portable, pocket-sized pieces of praise perfection.
It’s one thing to tell someone they are doing a great job. It’s another to give them a small memento of that feel-good moment. They can look back on the card and remember that someone appreciates and validates all their hard work.
How about giving someone a ticket for something other than speeding or a parking violation? Carrying around a small stack of the Positive Tickets gives someone an opportunity to look for the good around them.
The idea of the Positive Tickets is to focus on the good things people are doing and ignore the not-so-positive actions. The next step is to recognize even borderline good behavior with a Positive Ticket. It is remarkable how quickly negative attitudes can change.
Surprise your children with one of these self-esteem pick-me-uppers. Watch the reaction of ticket recipients, particularly their surprise at your recognition of them in this positive way. It will enhance your day and theirs. This simple act of kindness is actually good for your health! It improves functioning of your immune system by increasing serotonin levels in the brain for both the person presenting the positive ticket and those on the receiving end.
