Default How can we consciously slow down time when we're having fun?

We've all experienced times like standing in line, stuck in traffic, etc. where time just draaaaaags; on the other hand, we've experienced fun and good times that seem to go by way too quickly.

Does anyone here know of any methods to consciously slow down time when you're having a blast?

Yeah, I was totally wondering the same thing awhile back. But when you realize that time is subjective, you can do things with it you could never do before. Time is a human creation. If you "get off the clock" more and don't pay so much attention to it and realize how much time you actually have. Just become more present in the times you are having fun and just enjoy them fully. Don't keep looking to when that time will be over. Just enjoy it now.

If you start trying to slow down time you're gonna have LESS FUN! LOL

I don't know how to slow down time when you have fun. but in times you are standing in line, or stuck in traffic, time draaaaags because you have impatient thoughts. you want to be in the future faster... From my experience, when I try to stay fully present in the now, just listening to what's happening around me at this very moment, then time will pass much faster (because I'm having fun, I guess )

Stop the fun and get bored. But that's not what you want... lol... mmm...
When you're bored like when you're working it doesn't help much too take a look at the clock many times. It seems even longer.... So I guess if you take some looks at the clock while you're having fun, it will seem longer too, or maybe shorter, I don't know.

I think when your energy is high (like fun) E=mc2 reminds us... times for you pass quickly. E=m*c*c E=mass*(30000km/1sec)*(300000km/1sec) If increase energy... it's because your "C" is changing (or the other way round), not your mass, your Speed through time, seconds are shorter. Erin said in a post a guide of her said to her "You're accelerating".... I guess that meant she's increasing her good energy...

I think looking at the clock would stop the fun and and the speed of your time.
