RE: Time Perception As A Mental Construct

in #time8 years ago

Great post! It reminds me of how time feels when you're a kid. Do you remember? When we're kids, time seems to go so slowly, a day can seem to take an eternity. It seems like time is barely moving, and we will be kids forever, though adults tell us this will change. Then, sometime around high school, you notice time speeding up, and by the time you're out of college or in your early 20's, it seems like you're on the bullet train of time. You finally understand what the adults told you about time flying by as you get older, all those years ago. I read somewhere not too long ago that time moves more slowly for kids because they are always in the moment, and that we can get that slowed time perception back by being in the moment again, like kids. It's something I've been trying, and there is truly something to it. Time is what we perceive it to be.

thank you for this awesome comment. i agree!
one of my clients told me once that life is like a roll of toilet paper. in the beginning it spins slowly but as you keep going it gets faster. and it gets pretty fast as you get towards the end of the roll. lol

You're absolutely right, and that's a great analogy. Our job is to slow down that spinning roll. Lol!
