How often have you heard that time goes faster with Time? We recognize that it's not time that vares, it's your perception of time. Here are a few extraordinary things that influence your time perception and how to slow time down.


Time idea tends to be a objective and particular experience. That's as much of it is supported on prior memories. If there are more inside information in a memory, the event seems newer. If details fade, we understand it as an older memory.Our brain just explain faded memories as being older than clear memories. What makes a memory clear usually involves emotion. Life threatening memories, for instance, retain their detail and are never unremembered. However, a fit memory alone does not alter the feeling of time moving faster as we age.


Aging involves an experience where the newness of life is wearing off. The time it takes for the mind to process a new or fresh situation is more than to process a common situation. Learning something new undoubtedly takes longer than doing something routine.This attempt can make time seem longer. As life becomes more commonplace, we want less time to process it. This deficiency of attempt can make time seem shorter supported on less mental quickness.


There is a Time during our late teens and twenties where your memory takes on better importance. This level coincides when our individuality is forming. We perceive this level as more detailed and longer than other life stages. We may look this time as more meaningful and influential as a result

Some experience this happens due to the newness of learning about life. But, I suppose this is also combined with emotion causing us to really set this time apart from the rest of life.This duration of adolescence to adulthood may be the biggest transition in life and we all have unforgettable memories and emotions about it. Those college years seem similar the last day.


But, time perception and period is more than isolated events in the past and dealing with new situations. In my expedition to slow time down, I've detect a few things. We all know from work that the busier you are, the faster time goes.I would restate this to: the more distracted you are, the faster time seems to go. In this digital period, distractions are everywhere. Just as novelty may take longer to procedure, it doesn't mean time in common slows down;it only seem like it at that moment. Processing such newness results in a better distraction from the self, but outside of that state, it has little outcome on time perception and age.


Another wrinkle in time idea may have to do with how much anxiety or depression you experience. We consult about how emotions assist lock in memories. Acute or chronic sensational distress, like pain, tends to extend time perception.A wicked toothache that endure only 24 hours always seems much longer. Emotional pain and physical pain have a similar result as it's a distressful(and distorted) perception of time.


How to slow time: I'm not going to suggest staring at a clock, however, this certainly slows time. Some experience that doing anything new or separate seems to slow time. Having less digital distractions(concluding TV) slows time for me. Unstructured time without anything to do can afford the feeling of possessing more time. I intentionally schedule in some unstructured time as it seems relaxing as well as slower. Keeping a diary or journal tends to preserve memories better than photos.

Reading my journal takes me right back to that period and how I felt with clarity. It's almost similar re-living the experience which makes it more striking and fetch it closer in time.


Meditation not only lessen stress and anxiety, improves your manner and soundness, but assist you concentrate on time. After I meditate, I have a mental clearness and perceive what is positively essential. The sedative result of meditation seems to dismiss the distractions and inessential worry. Pets have proven to be helpful for patient recovery and afford absolute affection. Some experience the time spent with pets slows time via the sedative effect.

Hello mohashin305: I see this is your first post... so... welcome to PsychCentral... from the Skeezyks! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

Great post and insights! I completely agree with all of your points! I think that trying to slow time down is something that everyone struggles with and ultimately aims for. It is hard to deal with moments in life when we want to hurry up and move onto something, maybe more happy, or times when we are so happy that we don't ever want to be sad again. I think that creating unscheduled and unstructured time in our lives, like you suggested, is key. Making time for yourself to simply be away from distractions and just sit and reflect is so beneficial. I feel that I gain so much clarity when I just sit and do nothing sometimes. I have been struggling with the idea of starting journal or maybe even just carrying it around with me and writing down things that my mind has conjured up that seem insightful to me at the time. It always worries me, though, that someone will see it or that I will see my reflections in the future and be ashamed of who I was or something like that. I think, speaking for myself at least, that I tend to bottle up a lot of my feelings. Even the things I share with friends or family has more detail that I prefer to figure out myself. I think that maybe writing down some of these details will help me to find answers within myself and not to be so scared of how I feel. This is all discovered through silent and peaceful time that is away from the world of distractions and during a time that feels as if time has really stopped!
