The Two Tracks of Time Travel

In this podcast episode, the hosts discuss the idea that we experience time in two different tracks. Track one is the default track where we automatically imagine the past with regret and anticipate the future with anxiety. This track is effortless for us to be on and is influenced by shame and feelings of inadequacy. Track two requires conscious intentionality and often involves the support and participation of others. On this track, we reflect on the past with curiosity rather than condemnation, and we plan for the future with hope instead of anxiety.
