It is vitally important for everyone to understand how the fixed passage of time as measured by a clock, has nothing in common with our emotional experience of time. Always keep in mind that being under the illusion that time rules our life, we will recognize that it is our emotional experience and our mindset that decides how we react to the ticking of the clock. Control your breathing and tense your muscles and time regularly will appear to speed up. You relate to time according to your expectations of what will become obvious. Expect that you will have enough time to do everything and the clock on the wall appears to offer you a bit more time. Imagine the worst and you will have trouble keeping up.

What can you do to have a healthier perception in regard to time? The easiest thing you can do is breathe slowly and deeply. The clock on the wall appears to slow down when you will try to slow down your body clock. The other thing you can do is check in with your body. If you create a feeling of extension in your body, by aligning your posture and releasing your muscles, time will appear to expand somewhat. Moreover, you can notice your environment and extend your awareness out into the space around you. When you extend your awareness to take in the wide range of sights and sounds taking place in your local environment you will also extend your conception of time. Last but not least, realize that with any situation, you will have time tomorrow to accomplish what you were not able to accomplish today. Every single day, brings new opportunities for appreciating your life and the people you care about.
