Want more time? Here’s the secret …

Ever feel like you just don’t have enough time? *raises hand*

Or maybe you experience time as too slow?.

How does that even happen?

How can our experience of time change if time is a constant?

There’s actually a simple explanation …

Your perception of time changes according to how regulated your nervous system is.

There are 3 states that dictate how you experience time: Sympathetic, Dorsal-Vagal or Ventral-Vagal.

So if you’re not happy with how time is passing (either too quickly or too slowly), figure out which state you’re in, first.

Here’s what you’ll experience in the different states:

🌟In the Sympathetic state, time often feels like a rapid, heart-pounding race.

The urgency and adrenaline amplify every second, creating a sense of time slipping through our fingers. It's the fast-paced beat of deadlines and the hustle of daily life.

🌟In the Dorsal state, time seems to stretch and warp, like a slow-motion film playing out before our eyes.

Lethargy and withdrawal can make moments feel elongated, almost as if time itself is caught in a languid dance.

🌟Ventral Vagal state, this is where time finds its rhythm, a harmonious flow.

It's the state of connection, safety, and calm. Here, seconds unfold effortlessly, fostering a deep sense of presence. Time is no longer a frenetic race or a sluggish crawl but a serene river carrying us gently through the current of life.

What’s your relationship to time right now?

If it’s anything but “I have enough time. Everything is going to be ok.” it might be a sign that you’re dysregulated, in which case, you can take steps to regulating your nervous system so you can enter the desirable (and quite pleasant) Ventral Vegal state.
