TGIF - Time to Unwind

So, Thank Goodness it's Friday,

I hear this all the time when we get to the end of the week, it is almost as if many of us are solely Living for the weekend and Drudge through a weekly grind.

Although it may sound optimistic (to some) to say each day is a great day, this is my sentiment exactly.

Of course during the week we may feel more stretched and have endless Challenging deadlines and Juggling to accomplish our goals IMO these are the nuggets that help us define our character.

It is a simple reframe: instead of saying OMG it is Monday back to work today, why not think Wow this could very well be the week I get really good at My new management system which in the past I have been overwhelmed with.

Until now you may have believed the weekend to be a time of Non Stop Party or Relaxation, and the week to be a time of Hustle and Grind.

Our Beliefs of course influence our feelings and ultimately our actions, I have found it interesting to apply a paradigm shift to situations that feel uncomfortable and overwhelming. In doing so I have on several occasions discovered that my perceptions of an event or possibly person have been influenced by my own opinions or past experiences and I have somehow without thinking it through clustered the lot together and accepted it as my reality.

On challenging reality by looking outside of the situation and becoming less engaged first hand, it has often led me to a sense of clarity and objectivity which has helped me provide alternative ways to perceive and prepare for the challenge ahead.

This weekend why not take a moment out to reflect on what this may mean if anything to you.

exercise:

What if you were to switch your "programming" around ? for example the weekend is a time of High Pressure and deadlines and the week is a time of Non stop partying and Relaxation.

Observe how this affects your feelings if at all, notice everything about it.

Now switch your "programming" around again making everything back to real time, do you notice a sense of relief that it is the weekend, have you noticed it lessening at all ?

Journal your observations and discover your own meanings, you may be inspired to think differently after realizing your mind and how you think has everything to do with your daily happiness.

What if this weekend you were to notice, how many people seem to have the same conditioning "programing" It may lead to new thoughts in other area's of your life that you may find interesting.

Have a great weekend.
