Content vs. Context, how to put the Monday/Friday feeling behind you.
Every Monday and Friday I see at least 27 GIFs, Memes and Quotes about how people hate their Mondays and love their Fridays. Then I see the other side where people post about changing your mindset about Mondays and Fridays and you should love Mondays because you can crush your goals and Friday is just another grind day etc.…
The reason why most people post about it but don’t actually internalize a real change in Mindset is that they don’t get to the root of why they feel this way and when they realize why, they don’t take any real actionable steps to change the reasons why they feel that way.
In all reality, Monday and Friday are exactly the same. They are astrologically no different at all.
Here’s the difference. It’s not the content of Mondays and Fridays, it’s the context.
Let me explain.
The content of people’s Monday is usually no different than Friday. The rhythm is most likely very similar. Wake up, go to work, come home, sleep.
What’s different is the context of Mondays and Fridays. It’s the circumstances surrounding the day and how it makes you feel.
When Friday hits, people have a sense of limitless possibilities. They feel like life is a blank canvas and they are about to create a masterpiece. They can choose to do what they want for the next two days. They can be around the people they want to be around and go where they want to go and truly do what makes them happy.
Then when Monday hits, it feels as if the possibilities are limited once again. That you have to get back in your box and conform to someone else’s agenda, someone else’s canvas.
So, here’s what you have to ask yourself.
What do I have to do, so I feel the same about Mondays as I do about Fridays? What does my life have to look like? What do I have to be doing?
Your goal should be to have the context surrounding every day of the week be the same…
Filled with excitement of pursuing your mission.
Everyday should feel like there’s endless possibilities, that life is a blank canvas and you wake up ready to create your masterpiece.
And if you don’t feel that way.
What do you need to do to change the context of your day?
What massive shift needs to happen?
What do you need to change about your environment, work, habits etc..?
Here’s to making every day of your future have the context of Fridays. 😊
