Carmen Lee-SchneiderHave you noticed time passing faster as you get older?
As we get older, it often feels as though time is speeding up. Years fly by faster and precious moments that seemed to last a lifetime during childhood, now just seem to evaporate into thin air…
But it doesn’t have to be like that.
There are ways to change our perception of time. The key is to slow down the pace of life while increasing the amount of new and unique experiences we have. When we keep going to the same places, doing the same things over and over, we don’t create distinct memories. As a result, time seems to fly by us as the monotone nature of your days simply merges into what seems like one and the same memory.
When we make an effort to travel more often, and to stay open to learning new things and creating new unique experiences, our perception of time slows down again.
Also, focus on positive past memories and try to live more in the present. Holding a positive perception of the future and envisioning a future full of hope and optimism will vastly increase your level of happiness. Learn to love yourself more and make time to meditate regularly. Time with yourself is incredibly important and helps us to reflect and appreciate life more.
Learn to appreciate each moment and use your time wisely. The time we have on this planet is precious. Let’s make the most of each day we have.
Namaste,
Carmen
