Friday

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 7:03 am

Seems like Friday is just about everyone’s favorite weekday. More songs have been written about other days of the week, but Friday seems to be the hands down winner.

It’s easy to see why. Friday is the doorway to the weekend – the time when time is your time.

So the special thing about Friday is the wonderful anticipation it brings. Friday is a feeling!

What if we could isolate that feeling in our body and catalog it? Then we could literally Google that feeling any day of the week, even on a “Blue Monday.”

What does Friday feel like? It will be different for every-body, but quite useful to zero in on. What goes on in your body when you’re in a Friday frame of mind? Find out by taking time to notice.

Most will agree that good thoughts produce good feelings but not as much attention has been given to the corollary – good feelings produce good thoughts. Feelings last longer and so do the thoughts associated with them.

Think of thoughts as precision sports cars that can turn on a dime and dart away. Then think of feelings as cruise ships that take much longer to make a full turn and stay in place much longer.

If you pay attention to the feeling, you can get the full experience of the moment. The best news is you can recreate that moment when “hump day” seems like it will never end.

Most people know Abraham Lincoln’s observation that “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” They may not know there is another strategy – “Most folks are as happy as they feel in their body.”

Here’s a wacky suggestion: Make Friday “feel day.” Get to know what Friday feels like in your body. Then when you’re mentally having a “Terrible Tuesday” or a “Trying Thursday,” ask your body to serve up a slice of Friday.

This only seems silly until you do it. Did you ever notice that experience wipes out all debate?

Experience Friday!

All the best,

John
