Whenever you experience overwhelm or feel like time is moving too fast, you always have the option of slowing it back down. 

You won’t be actually changing time, of course. Time passes by constantly, and there’s always only ever the present.

What you’re actually doing is changing your perception of time.

There are a couple of really great ways to do this. One is to journal, appreciating a few things you’re looking forward to, and deciding what would make today great. (I use the Five Minute Journal.)

Another way is to look back at your photos, calendar, and emails, to really appreciate the experience of life. My friend Rick Pastoor’s YearPlanDay exercise has a great prompt for this (via his post).

(This certainly deserves a longer post, here’s why I kept it short.)
