Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn't need to feel this way. Our experience of time can be1 changed. How can we 2 time? Here are two suggestions.
Firstly, since we know that being in familiar situations makes 3 pass faster, we can make ourselves have as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and keep our minds 4 to new information, hobbies and skills. This will5 the amount of information our minds do with and expand(增加) our experience of time.
Secondly, we can give our whole attention to an experience—to 6 we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our 7 rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to8 . Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open idea to your experiences helps take in more 9 and also has a time—expanding effect.
To a certain degree, we can understand and 10 our experience of time passing. It's possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.
