Why Time Feels Faster as We Get Older?

Do you remember how endless summers felt when you were a child? Every day seemed to stretch forever — but now, months disappear before we even notice. It’s not just your imagination; time really does feel faster as we grow older. But why? Let’s slow down and explore the fascinating science and psychology behind it. The Science of Time Perception Our brains don’t measure time like clocks do — they feel it. When we’re young, everything is new: every smell, sound, and experience creates strong memories. These rich experiences make time feel longer because our brain is constantly recording new information. As we age, life becomes more routine — fewer “firsts,” less novelty — so our brain compresses time. In short: the fewer new experiences we have, the faster time seems to pass. The Psychology of Routine Think about your daily routine now — work, phone, same coffee shop, same route home. It’s efficient, but it also tricks your mind into “autopilot.” When days look alike, your m...

Is Life About Causes or Purposes? The Answer Will Change How You Think

  Have you ever wondered why something happens — or what for it happens? These two questions seem similar, but they come from two totally different ways of thinking: etiology and teleology. Let’s break it down simply. 🔹  Etiology — The Study of Causes Etiology is all about the past — it asks, “What caused this?” It’s the science of finding origins and reasons. For example: In medicine, etiology explains what caused an illness. In psychology, it explores what experiences shaped our behavior. In life, it’s when you ask: “Why did this happen to me?” Etiology helps us understand patterns, facts, and causes — it gives clarity through knowledge. 🔹  Teleology — The Study of Purpose Teleology looks at the future — it asks, “What is this for?” It’s about goals, purpose, and intention. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, used teleology to explain that everything in nature has a reason for being. For example: A seed grows into a tree because its purpose is to flourish...

Why Modern Life Makes Us Anxious — and How to Slow Down

-

  We live in a world that moves faster than ever — but our minds weren’t designed to run this fast. From endless notifications to constant deadlines, modern life keeps us in a loop of activity that never seems to end. No wonder so many of us feel anxious, overwhelmed, and emotionally exhausted. Let’s explore why this happens — and how we can find peace again. ⚡ The Overload of Information Every day, we consume more information than our brains can process. News, messages, updates, and content flood our attention from morning till night. This constant stimulation confuses the mind — we feel like we’re staying “connected,” but instead, we’re mentally drained. 🕰️  The Illusion of Busyness Modern culture glorifies being busy. If your schedule isn’t full, you might feel like you’re not doing enough. But being busy is not the same as being fulfilled. The constant rush activates our stress response — we’re always “on,” but rarely present. 🌪️The Pressure of Perfection Social med...

Why Do We Feel Stressed During Public Celebrations?

  Have you ever noticed how sometimes we feel anxious or overwhelmed during public celebrations — even when everyone around seems happy? From weddings and national holidays to concerts and festivals, celebrations are meant to bring joy. Yet, for many of us, they also bring unexpected stress. Let’s explore why this happens and how we can manage it. 🎭  1. The Pressure to Be Happy In celebrations, there’s often an unspoken expectation to enjoy ourselves. We see others laughing, taking photos, and posting perfect moments online — and feel that we must feel the same. This creates emotional pressure, making it harder to genuinely relax. Happiness can’t be forced; it flows naturally when we’re present, not when we compare ourselves to others. 🔊  2. Sensory Overload and Crowds Public events are filled with noise, lights, and constant activity. For many, this overstimulation triggers anxiety or fatigue. The body reacts by releasing stress hormones — especially when we can’...
