Time is a very strange thing. In some situations, it seems that it is rushing at a catastrophic speed. At other times, time barely moves forward. Learning to feel the time means learning to do more. This skill will allow you to stop being constantly nervous and worried. How can this ability be developed?
Feeling of awareness. Awareness is a person's ability to feel “here and now”. This skill is very important for the development of a sense of time, so that there is no projection of attention into the past or into the future. In addition, mindfulness implies concentration on current affairs, helps to understand how much time is a really important resource. Due to the presence in the moment, a person is gradually able to learn to do work faster and better, it is easier to memorize any educational material or to assimilate new information, new skills / abilities. To realize yourself, it is enough to close your eyes for five minutes, relax, disconnect from problems and stop the constant internal dialogue. And then listen to the sounds around, feel all the signals from your body, feel the emotions present at the moment.
What time is it? This exercise is very simple, it is suitable for developing a sense of time at literally any age. What should be done? Before looking at the clock, wondering what time it is, you need to try to guess / guess the number that is shown on the clock at that moment. At first, the misses can be quite significant, but gradually it will turn out to approach the true value.
Internal programming. This method works great if you start by programming your mind to wake up without an alarm clock. Being in bed, in a state of half-sleep, it is worth giving yourself an installation at what time you need to wake up. The installation should be as specific as possible. Gradually, internal programming can be carried over into everyday life. For example, when starting a business, you need to set yourself up for the amount of time it takes to finish it. Such training, among other things, will help to become more collected and disciplined.
New impressions. This approach is especially relevant for those people who completely do not notice how the days fly by, for whom time passes too quickly. You need to bring newness to your life. It can be in small things, for example, start waking up not at 7:00, but at 7:05. Or go for a walk not along the usual route, but choose a different path. New impressions and emotions will give unexpected / spontaneous trips. Why is this necessary and why can it help to begin to feel the time? The fact is that the human brain gets used to working in one rhythm, if everything in a person's life happens strictly according to plan, everything is stable and there are no attempts to get out of the comfort zone. Because of this, there is a "loss in time". To stimulate the brain to create new neural connections and, as a result, start tracking the passage of time, you need to add variety to your life.
Diary of hours. During the day, at every convenient opportunity, it is necessary to take notes on how long it took to complete an action, for work, study or rest. Here it is important not to try to remember all the events of the day, you need to transfer the vector of your attention from situations to the amount of time that was spent on them. By rereading the notes, you can see where the valuable hours go. There will also be a chance to adjust your work / study activities and so on.
