Each group member is to write a positive personal message to each other member of the group. The messages are intended to make the person feel positive about himself. Positive messages could reflect a positive attitude, appearance, success, or special message. Members can sign their positive perception or have the option of leaving it blank. Variations could include sending messages only to individuals for whom they have significant positive feelings. Another alternative could be providing two messages to the individual, one positive perception and one self-defeating perception.
