Ever feel like time is slipping away faster the older you get? In this episode, we explore the fascinating phenomenon of how our perception of time shifts as we move through life. We delve into the science behind time dilation and discuss how routines, emotional highs and lows, and even self-perception play a major role in how we experience the passing of time. What if time isn't as linear as we think? Can we truly alter our perception of time by simply changing our habits or being more present in the moment? These are just a few of the thought-provoking questions we dive into.

With insights from quantum physics, spiritual teachings, and even pop culture (think Interstellar), we explore how time might not be as straightforward as we’ve always believed. You’ll learn how new experiences can stretch your sense of time, while anxiety or routine can make it feel like it’s speeding up. Can meditation help slow time down? How can we live more intentionally and expand our awareness to feel like we're living in a more fulfilling, present way? Tune in to hear how you can experience time differently and start being more mindful of how you spend every precious second.
