The older we get, the more that time feels like it's speeding up. Weeks seem shorter. The endless summers of childhood become one or two sweaty months of having to wear work clothes in 90-degree weather. The holidays come and go before you realize it. Time used to go slow enough that you could run out of things to do and actually get bored. Now, it seems like you never have enough time to accomplish the things you want to do. An important piece of living well as you age is taking advantage of the fact that time perception is entirely a construct of the brain. By slowing down the perceived passage of time, you seemingly have more of it which can feel like you're living longer and better. |
