21 Wednesday quotes to help you get over that midweek hump

Stuck between manic Monday and fun-loving Friday, Wednesday tends to get a bad rap.

By the middle of the week, many people are already daydreaming about their weekend plans, and nobody likes to be reminded that there's still half the week left before they can kick back, relax, and slam their laptop shut.

However, Wednesday is also a great reminder to look at the glass half-full.

Take a cue from Winnie the Pooh, who welcomes the midweek milestone with a cheerful, "Happy Winds-Day."

For fans of "Mean Girls" — and the color pink — Wednesday is the perfect day to sport your favorite shade.

Each day is full of endless inspiration and possibilities, and Wednesdays are no exception. After all, who says you have to wait until the weekend to enjoy yourself?

In fact, the middle of the week is the perfect time to pause, relax, and reflect. Make the most of the day with a "wellness Wednesday" self-care session, whether you put on a face mask, cook a healthy meal, or lace up your sneakers for a long, leisurely walk.

This week, fill up that extra cup of coffee and get ready to ride the Wednesday tide. You've climbed the Monday mountain, and now it's smooth sailing until Saturday.
