Slowing down the perception of time

[quantumspiral]

I believe that being mindful / present in our day to day lives slows down the perception of time considerably. In particular, mindfulness combined with deep engagement with whatever task we're working on presently.

I think this is one of the more practical benefits of mindfulness in general life satisfaction.

The more resistance we have to the present moment, the more we tend towards escaping the present moment, checking out mentally and numbness. In this level of awareness, time oozes by without us realizing.

Not ground-breaking, but wanted to put this here to discuss in case anybody has thoughts on this
