One of these is that time seems to speed up as we get older. Another is that<strong> time seems to slow down when we\u2019re exposed to new environments and experiences.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"a1dbe d0e40\"><em>These two laws are caused by the same underlying factor: the relationship between our experience of time and the amount of information (including perceptions, sensations, and thoughts) our minds process. <strong>The more information our minds take in, the slower time seems to pass.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He makes two suggestions for us who experience time as fairly flying and want to slow it down some at least experientially:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Upping our mental processing with travel, new challenges, getting to know new people, developing new skills (including hobbies). <strong>New information requires the brain to process it which seems to stretch out time for us.<\/strong> [Sidebar: I would like to pose that even if it&#8217;s the same people, same job, same places &#8211; we can go deeper or approach differently and shake up the familiar.]<\/li>\n<li><em>&#8220;<strong>Perhaps most effectively, we can slow down time by making a conscious effort to be more \u201cmindful\u201d of our experiences<\/strong>. Mindfulness means giving our whole attention to an experience\u2014to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling, or hearing\u2014rather than to our thoughts.&#8221;<\/em> Dr. Taylor talks further about what it means to <strong>be &#8220;in the moment&#8221;.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This was fascinating and so doable in terms of slowing down and squeezing all the good out of our lives&#8230;and helping others do the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)\u00a0 The Why of Public Outcry<\/strong> &#8211; Two words: Social media.

For the issues we are passionate about, we have other avenues to make our voices known. However, using social media is a little too easy and a lot more telling of the anger&#8230;even hatred that stirs inside.<\/p>\n<p>Nieuwhof&#8217;s 5 reasons of the epidemic of anger in our culture today:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>You&#8217;re naturally more aggressive online than you are in person.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hate generates more clicks than love.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Any attention can feel better than no attention.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>You know enough to make your world feel dark.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Anger can get you heard, even when you have nothing to say.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Read his<a href=\"https:\/\/careynieuwhof.com\/why-do-we-hate-each-other-so-much-anger-new-epidemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> article<\/a>. Lots of great commentary and helps on anger\/hatred. Nieuwhof closes with this:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here are four questions to ask next time you post, write, blog, podcast, or shoot that email or text.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What\u2019s my real motive?
