Time’s Up Day is on September 17 and it’s all about being the bigger person. It is easy to drift apart from people over a little disagreement, especially people you enjoy having in your life. It usually starts small, a little disagreement turns into resentment and both parties are left with nothing to say to each other. If you know you’ve been waiting to make up with someone close to you, this is a reminder that it’s time to make amends.

How to Observe Time's Up Day
1️⃣Look beyond the incident and reach out Give them an opportunity to apologize and give yourself the joy of closure.

2️⃣Encourage people who are feuding to make up
To celebrate this day, encourage people to tell each other how they feel, but do not force them to reconcile if they are not ready.

3️⃣Show appreciation to the people in your life
Use this day to appreciate the people in your life by telling them how much you value their presence in your life.
