Positive messages for him or her to show your partner support.

When do our partners need positive messages from us? We’re the sounding boards for the biggest challenges they face. We’re there when the hardest moments hit. Positive messages for her or him have to show support and offer insight. They must be sensitive, too, and help reframe or motivate while recognizing struggles.

Use these positive messages everywhere, especially where your partner least expects them. Mix and match with love messages, too, to remind your partner that you’re here and you care.

Tips to share positive messages in creative ways.

Share positive messages in unexpected places and they’ll get more attention, more reflection, and ultimately become more meaningful.

For example, you can play with positive messages in:

• Social graphics and Instagram stories (that are as much for you as anyone who sees them).
• A photo collage keepsake with positive personal messages.
• A custom letter or card. Start one in Adobe Express then print it out and add onto it with something hand drawn for a mixed-media look.
• Flyers, posters, or banners to brighten a classroom or workplace.
• Sticky notes on mirrors, in lunchboxes, and in books where someone will least expect them.

Remember — the best thing about positive messages is that they can be edited to fit the project or the people you want to share them with. Find the positive messages you like best and turn them into true windfalls of positivity.

Exercise: Find the perfect positive messages.

Whatever your reason for searching for positive messages, that will help you pick the best ones.

Work through these steps to do exactly that:

1. Put the reason you need a positive message into words. Is it for motivation? Is it to push past a struggle? Is it to reframe a situation?

2. For motivation, find a positive message that talks about progress and potential.

3. For struggles, acknowledge that it’s hard, then offer real encouragement.

4. To reframe a situation, find a positive quote that describes what struggles today offer tomorrow.

5. Then, consider the people you want to reach. For direct personalities, use short positive messages. For deep thinkers, find messages about growth and resilience. For practical people, look for action-oriented messages.
