Time really does fly when you're having fun!

Yes it's true! When you're care-free and happy, life seems to fly-by!

Your brain typically transposes 30 images a second - this is standard and allows you to digest info and go about your daily business.

However, when you are stressed or under pressure, your brain THINKS more, which makes sense as often you are searching for an answer to a predicament that you have or worrying yourself over something.

Now, because the brain is more ACTIVE in these cases it is digesting MORE info!! You are making your brain WORK harder, giving it more information.

This actually makes TIME seem to SLOW down!! SEEM is a strong word.

In many cases, this is how your BRAIN literally saves you from making a bad decision, if you are given a short time-span to make a decision.

Being trapped in an inferno, averting a collision, catching something are all examples of where your BRAIN appears to slow time down, thus you feeling like you're given extra-time to make a decision.

Your BRAIN is definitely transposing way more than 30 images a second in these cases. More images = more frames of reference = more decision opportunities.

Many thanks
