Deep dives
Living a Meaningful Life Through Novelty and Memory
To make our lives feel longer, we need to focus on creating memories. Time perception researchers explain that our brain measures time based on the memories we form. The more new and emotionally rich experiences we have, the longer our life feels when we look back. Routine and familiarity suppress memory formation, making time seem to fly by. Therefore, to extend time, we should actively seek novelty and avoid falling into monotonous routines. By trying new things, exploring new places, and engaging in unexpected activities, we can create more moments that stand out and are memorable, ultimately making our lives feel longer.
