I used to feel such a sense of RELIEF on Fridays.
Relief that I’d made it through another week.
Relief that there were two whole days ahead of me where I could be myself.
Relief that I would be getting out of the office that made me feel so stifled.
Counting the days to the weekend is wishing your life away. Sacrificing 5 of the 7 days of the week to something that, at best, you don’t believe in and, at worst, is killing your soul, isn’t worth it.
And yet, there millions of people doing just this. A staggering 90% of employees in the UK are either not engaged or actively disengaged in their work!
There are countless people here on LinkedIn right now who are feeling that sense of exhausted relief to have made it to the weekend.
Maybe you’re one of them. Trudging through the week to get to the weekend, which then whistles past in a blur before you find yourself – too soon - feeling the “Sunday Scaries” again.
This quote from the Color Purple by Alice Walker may resonate:
“Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.”
Don’t let your life pass you by. Do something, however small, this weekend to start walking a new direction.
