Time Goes By So Fast – How To Help Slow It Down

We tend to think that while we are young and our kids are young that things will slow down as we all age, but that is not necessarily the case. In fact, the opposite is more accurate. As we all age, time seems to go by faster. Perhaps it is because we are doing more, so we have more on the calendar and are running around more. Perhaps it’s because as time goes by, ‘the clock ticks’ we start to feel like we want to do more.

In part it is due to, in my opinion, our natural inclination to focus more on the things we have not accomplished rather than those that we have. Especially for those of us who write to-do lists, it is easy to see how much we still have left to do. If we were instead to focus on how much we’ve done, it creates a more positive feeling.

It is more natural to have the tendency to look at what we didn’t get done or what still needs to be done rather than all that you have already accomplished. The former concept of there is always so much to do contributes to overwhelm and anxiety. The latter concept though tougher to maintain is more motivating and propels us to move forward, to keep going and to keep plugging along. It reassures us not to worry so much because we know we will get to it.

I think the idea of lists are helpful, for some even critical. A lot wouldn’t get done without them. I also know they can be a burden if we view them as something we are supposed to get through every day. They’re not. We will always have new things to add. Life isn’t meant to work that way. Look at these examples; just as your inbox is emptied, someone comes right in and fills it again. As soon as your home is clean, it’s a mess again in no time. The same is true for bills, dishes, laundry, I think the list could go on. We are meant to always have things to work on and take care of.

This is why it is critical to manage them, to not let them take charge of your time, your goals and your priorities.

What a difference it would make for us if we changed our perception and focused on all the things we did accomplish rather than what we didn’t. We would want to do more and we would certainly feel better about ourselves.

The same is true for being grateful for all the good things that happen in a day rather than the bad things. Gratitude is a very powerful feeling because we create in our lives that which we focus on.

Another way we can apply this is to look at our family members in a positive way, so we notice when they are doing something right and good rather than when they might be annoying. This would help our relationships because if we feel better about those closest to us we will be happier, nicer and more pleasant.

This simple reframe can make a big difference. It will make a difference in our productivity, our attitude and our relationships.
