Shifting Perspective with Time and Volume

The speaker suggests that we can change our perspective and manage stress by using the tools of time and volume. By imagining our current circumstances as the norm, we can recalibrate the meaning we ascribe to them. For example, if being stuck in traffic was a daily occurrence, we would not feel as upset about it. Additionally, by considering a longer time horizon of 10,000 years, the speaker argues that many things that currently seem important may not matter in the grand scheme of things. This helps decrease anxiety and enables better decision-making.
