Many people greet each other with happy hump day on Wednesdays. It feels a little strange to me because it seems to contrast with the spirit of carpe diem, or seize the day, which encourages embracing every moment and making the most of each day, rather than counting down to the end of the week.
Unfortunately, many people view the workweek as a hurdle to be overcome, and hump day reflects the reality that. For these people, the focus is often on the upcoming weekend, so Wednesday becomes a milestone and marks being halfway through the week. On the other hand, the seize the day philosophy encourages us to embrace the present moment, regardless of the day.... and making the most of each day, including Wednesdays.
So... may I suggest a fun twist that could connect these two philosophies?
Since many people enjoy getting over the hump and it's important to seize the day and make the most of every moment every single day, why not use this midweek moment to make Wednesdays memorable? Why not take advantage of the energy that comes with getting over the hump and use it well? Why wait for Friday or Saturday to live it up? Why not make it happen on a Wednesday?
