My Thoughts

Ever lost track of time? Fishing, doing a do-it-yourself project, scrolling through a social media app? Time is a lot more flexible than we give it credit for being. Focusing on the passing of time can slow it down. Anyone who's stared at a phone, waiting for that callback, knows that seconds turn into hours, but the minute you withdraw your attention and walk away, the outcome you were expecting happens. It's as if our attention can slow or even stop an outcome. The next time you try to decide the fastest lane at the grocery store check out, see what happens. Everything moves quickly if you have all the time in the world. Instant results come when you aren't in any hurry.
