How To Slow Down Time: Hidden psychology to improve productivity & reduce overwhelm
Description
Expand your perception of experience and build more flow and joy into your daily life.
Many people hate time, it is a constant enemy we fight against. Yet it is simply a continuous element of the Universe that we can't change.
However, like illusions that can make a straight line seem bent in our minds, we can use our own mind to bend time for ourselves.
This episode expands on several psychological phenomena to help you build a better relationship with time:
- Live a life that feels longer, richer and deeper
- Reframe feelings of anxiety
- Build your ability to focus, be productive, and do your best work
It's an absolute favourite topic of Sam's and an episode he is sure you'll love.
