The Simplicity of Sticky Notes

First, I just want to say how ordinary these little pieces of paper are.

They are literally just a small paper square with a bit of tack on the backside.

While yes, there are customizable and personalized versions available, I’m talking about the generic sticky notes you pick up at Target or Walmart.

Some are colorful or lined, sure, but there is nothing truly unique or special about a regular sticky note.

Personally, I mainly use sticky notes for planning everything from our homeschool lessons to my work day, but I’ve never ventured into motivational usage until now.

All that said, those ordinary pieces of paper can actually make a huge impact.

The Need for Sticky Note Quotes

While it may sound silly to say there is a need for sticky note quotes, I’m telling you, there is.

This world is full of hate, violence, oppression, and idealistic standards.

All of which causes us to be filled with anger, fear, anxiety, and stress on a daily basis.

So, needless to say, we all need a little something to lift us up in this dark and tainted planet we call home.

As a woman who struggles with anxiety and depression, I know the weight that is carried as we walk through our day-to-day life on this Earth.

This whole sticky note quote thing, however, is new to me.

The idea of posting positive and inspirational messages around your home intrigues me, though, and I’m ready to give it a try.

So, to say this post is just as much for me as it is for you is the complete truth, you guys!

Inspirational Sticky Note Quotes

While positivity is the main theme for this post, I had to touch on inspirational sticky note quotes first.

I did this for one reason and one reason only.

This is an inspirational blog, and my main focus will always, always be Him.

Whether you need exposure to extra inspirational messages due to recent loss or the mundane, being reminded of who we are in Christ is essential to the Christian.

Not only does it keep us strong and on the right path, but it gives us a sense of purpose, which so many are lacking in today’s society.

Try adding one of these inspirational sticky note quotes to your mirror, in your journal, or on your bedside table.

• You are forgiven
• You are enough
• God’s got this
• Faith over fear
• Jesus loves you
• God is working
• His will be done
• Just pray about it
• Guide me, Lord
• Be still and know
• Faith moves mountains
• Do not grow weary
• His grace is enough
• I am His

While some of these are paraphrased bible verses, you can also create sticky notes with full bible verses for yourself! From Bible verses about hope to bible verses about overcoming anxiety and grief.

Positive Sticky Note Quotes

Back to my main topic of positivity in a harsh world, leaning on positive sticky note quotes is a great way to keep your mind focused on the good when everything around you seems bad.

While I personally lean more towards the Be Still and Know or Faith Moves Mountains kind of quotes, I know some people thrive with uplifting positive quotes instead of faith-based scriptural quotes.

That said, sometimes a little positivity is all we need to see things in a brighter light.

So, whether you are just weighed down with the ordinary or you tend to be a pessimist (no judgment, I can be one too, and I’m working on it, you guys!), creating positive sticky notes might be just what you need.

Next time you are feeling a little blue and need a ray of sunshine to start your day, simply place one of these positive sticky note quotes on your front door or fridge!

• Don’t forget you’re awesome
• Hey, beautiful
• Start your day with a smile
• Make today great
• Today is a new day
• It’s a good day for a good day
• Positive vibes only
• Choose happy
• Choose to shine
• Radiate positivity
• You are loved
• Perfectly imperfect
• Spread kindness like germs
• Stop and smell the flowers
• Do great things
• Live in the moment
• Appreciate the little things
• Be the good

If choosing to live in the moment, appreciate the little things, and be the good are your current goals, I encourage you to try adding some of these gratitude quotes for Thanksgiving to your lineup of positive sticky note quotes!

Motivational Sticky Note Quotes

While being more positive and learning to lean on Him are great uses for sticky notes, sometimes what we need most is the motivation to move on, keep going, and push through life’s biggest challenges.

So, if you need help getting inspired or staying motivated, these motivational sticky note quotes are for you!

Try placing some of these motivational sticky notes where you need them the most!

For the workaholic trying to work less, this may be a laptop, but for the mom struggling with believing in herself postpartum, it might be the mirror.

• You are stronger than you think
• Progress over perfection
• Don’t give up
• Be strong
• Push through it
• You can do it!
• I can and I will
• Never give up
• Get it done
• Keep trying
• Do your best
• You are doing great
• Don’t forget to rest
• Never stop learning
• Prove them wrong
• Take it day by day
• Anything is possible
• Believe you can, and you’re halfway there
• Old ways don’t open new doors
• Mistakes are proof that you are trying
• You don’t fail till you stop trying

Whether you are struggling to stay motivated while depressed or you simply need help breaking old habits and sticking to a new workout routine, these motivational sticky notes are a great way to push forward and get inspired to reach your goal!

Self-Care Sticky Notes

Lastly, I want to touch on using sticky notes as a form of self-care.

I know I don’t preach self-care much here on the Be Still Inspiration Blog, but I’ve spoken openly about it on my social media and homeschool blog many times.

That said, using sticky notes to remind yourself to take a rest, drink some water, or fit prayer into your day is a really simple way to form better habits when it comes to taking care of yourself.

So, if you struggle with prioritizing your needs, try moving beyond positive messages and motivational sticky notes and use these sticky scares for self-care purposes as well!

Using Your Sticky Notes

When it comes to using your inspirational, positive, and motivational sticky notes, creating a system is key.

Much like everything else I do in life, using sticky notes for positive messages will need a little organization and planning.

It’s just how I roll, you guys!

Try leaning on these simple ideas to get the most out of your inspirational sticky note quotes!

• Mix it up — try changing quotes or Bible verses when the one you are using is no longer valid, or simply change the color of a current sticky note if you still need the quote but have gotten used to ignoring its presence.

 

• Create a schedule — if you need things to constantly be changing, creating a schedule might be the best option. Simply add a reminder to your phone or wall calendar to swap out quotes at the start of every new week!

 

• Involve Others — if accountability is what you need, or you simply want to improve the relationships within the walls of your home, leaving positive and inspirational quotes and messages for each other can be an incredibly uplifting way to use sticky notes!

While sticky notes have a ton of unique uses, using them to promote positivity is hands-down one of the best.

Whether you need help staying motivated or you need a reminder that you aren’t alone, uplifting sticky note quotes can be a useful tool you didn’t know you needed!

Now get to sticking!
