Scottish woman leaves bracelets and positive notes all around Glasgow
A Scottish woman has been leaving notes and trinkets of affirmation in random places around her hometown.
Reading “I AM ENOUGH: Radiate Positivity” she hopes they serve to put smiles on the faces of those who find them and lift the spirit of the whole city of Glasgow.
Education worker and admitted “Swifty,” Beth McNeill said she made around 70 of the bracelets for the Wembly Leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, where fans regularly exchange them with each other.
But dealing with depression and anxiety herself, McNeill felt there was a place for the bracelets beyond the concert venue, and began leaving them inside envelopes around Glasgow.
“It’s infectious really, making someone happy in turns makes you happy. I think more than ever we need the little things in life to put a smile on our face,” McNeill told the Daily Record. “We never know what someone is going through, if my bracelet puts a smile on someone’s face that is having a tough time or not it’s a win for me.”
The envelopes read “Open Me!” and pictures are beginning to appear on social media from people discovering them.
“I like to be that cheerleader for my students. I came up with the idea that if I can put these affirmations on bracelets it can be a lovely reminder on your wrist how wonderful a person you are, that you aren’t your anxiety, you can get through the day,” said McNeill.
