The human brain measures time by observing the movements.
If someone put you in an empty white room with no furniture, no doors or windows, no clock .... you begin to lose track of time. For a few days, your mind will detect the passage of time feeling the internal reactions of your body, including the heartbeat, sleep cycles, hunger, thirst and blood pressure. This is because our sense of time passage derives from the motion of objects, people, and natural signs of cyclical repetition of events such as sunrise and sunset. Comprehended this point, there is another thing you have to consider:
Our brain is extremely optimized.
He keeps doing the same job twice.
An average adult is between 40 and 60,000 thoughts per day.
Any one of us would go crazy if the brain had to consciously process this quantity. Therefore, most of these thoughts is automated and does not appear in the index of the day's events and therefore, when you live an experience the first time, he devotes many resources to understand what is happening.
It's when you feel most alive.
As the same experiment is repeated, it will simply putting their reactions in automatic mode and 'erasing' duplicate experiments. If you understand these two points, will now understand why it seems that time accelerates as we get older and because Christmases come faster and faster.
When we started driving cars, it all seems too complicated, our attention seems to be the most requested. Then one day drive switching gear, looking at the traffic lights, signs reading or even talking on the phone at the same time.
How does that happen?
Simple: the brain already knows what is written on the plates (you do not read with the eyes, but with the previous image in the mind); Your brain already knows which gear change (it just takes your past experiences and uses, rather than actually repeat the experience). That is, you did not experience that experience, at least for the mind. Those critics second upshift, reading card are erased from his notion of the passage of time.
When you start to repeat something exactly like the mind erases the experience repeated. As we get older things start to repeat themselves - the same streets, people, problems, challenges, television programs, claims, - .... finally ... new experiences (those that make the mind stop and think of actually making your day seem to have been long and full of news), they are diminishing. Until that is repeated so much that it is hard to say what we had to novelty in the week, or year, for some people, in the decade.
In other words, it does seem that accelerates the time is ...
ROUTINE
The routine is essential for life and optimizes a lot, but most people love both routine that, throughout life, her diary ends up being a book one chapter, repeated every year.
Fortunately there is an antidote to the acceleration of time: M & M (Move and Mark).
Change, doing something different and check, making a ritual, a party or records with photos. Change of scenery, take a family vacation (I suggest you take a vacation whenever and preferably a warm place for one year and cold the next) and mark with photos, postcards and letters. Have children (they destroy the routine) and always do birthday parties for them, and for you (and differentiating event marking the day). Use and abuse of rituals to make special moments other than the usual times. Make engagement parties, wedding, 15 years anniversary this or that, send-outs, participate anniversary of their graduation class, visit distant relatives, including 60 years at the university, change hair color, let the beard, take the beard, buy different decorations at Christmas, go to concerts, cook a new recipe, taken from a new book.
Choose different clothes, do not paint the house the same color, do different.
Kiss your passion and live differently with her at different times.
Go to different markets, read different books, seek different experiences.
Be different.
If you have money, especially if you are already retired, take your husband, wife or friends in other cities or countries, see other cultures, strangers visit museums, enjoy dishes weird ... in other words ... L-I-V-E! Because if you live intensely differences, time will seem longer. And if you are lucky to be married to someone willing to live and pursue different things, your book will be much longer, much more interesting and more alive ... than most books of life out there.
Surround yourself with friends.
Friends with different tastes, coming from different places, with different religions and they like different foods.
Anyway, I think you've got the message, is not it?
Good luck on your experiences to expand their time, with quality, emotion, and ritual life.
WRITE in DiFfErEnT SiZeS and in dIfFeReNt CoLoRs!
MAKE, TRIM, PAINT, RIP, WET, BEND, COIN, REINVENT ...
