The 17th of September is Time’s Up Day, and it’s all about being the larger person. Apparently, it is incredibly simple to drift apart from people over a minor disagreement, particularly with those you value in your life. Typically, it begins with a minor disagreement that escalates into resentment, leaving both parties speechless. If you have been waiting to make reparations with a close friend, this is a reminder that it’s time to do so.
The background of Time’s Up Day
This holiday was devised by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays and is protected by copyright. In the late 1980s, Tom discovered a form in the back of Chase’s Calendar of Events that permitted for the submission of new “holidays.” Thus, Wellcat Holidays was born. Intrigued, Tom submitted an entry that was subsequently published, transforming him into a serial Holiday Creator.
Along with other holidays, Time’s Up Day was established to acknowledge the existence of differences and disagreements in our lives, but also to encourage us to make amends and move on. Life is too short to be on bad terms with an important friend, parent, child, colleague, or former close friend, particularly if they are important to you.
However, there are instances when one must distance oneself from negative emotions and give a little time before resolving disputes. This is necessary in order to recognise and comprehend the impact of negative emotions such as annoyance, wrath, and discomfort when determining precisely what is wrong and how to correct the situation.
In the end, regardless of how far apart you have grown, a small act of kindness on this day can diminish pride and heal hurt emotions. When you make genuine amends, you acknowledge and align your values with your actions by admitting transgression and then living accordingly.
