Svetlana K. (IEI) - Life in the Flow of Time

My sense of time is directly connected to my sense of inner rhythm. I can internally speed up relative to external time, allowing me to accomplish a large number of tasks in a short period. I can also slow down internally, and then the feeling of time passing will be smooth and unhurried. Five minutes according to my "internal clock" can feel like twenty minutes according to external time. Sometimes I do things very slowly, like a snail, and sometimes very quickly, like a hurricane.

I always feel how time is passing: running, crawling, flying – it all depends on my level of engagement in the process. If I am fully present in the moment and interested in what is happening, then time passes unnoticed. If I am anticipating an event in the future, then time crawls. I like to experience time slowly and smoothly. I want to experience my time in a way that I enjoy: interestingly and pleasantly.
