I'm not sure if any of you ever watched the show "Heroes" when it was airing but I absolutely fell in love with the character Hiro Nakamura. All the characters found that they were developing special abilities like super heroes and Hiro's ability was that he was able to control time and teleport.
I have good news for you today!
You also have the ability to control time (well... your perception of time) and I'm going to share my secret with you.
Have you ever had those days when time just flew by and you looked up at the clock and realized that work was almost over? Don't you just love that feeling?
There's a really easy formula for making that happen for yourself during every single work day!
I know it sounds really crazy and you may be sitting there thinking - "Ya, right this guy is a total kook", but by putting this short visualization activity in practice you can really change your perception of time throughout your day.
I usually do this when I'm driving to work, but you can take your time and do it before you leave or even in your office or car.
Imagine yourself going about your day doing everything you might do in a normal day of work, but see yourself doing it in very slow motion.
Next, imagine everyone else moving around you in fast forward like on a video tape sped up super fast.
There are just a couple distinctions I would like to point out also.
First, make sure that the picture you are imagining is in first person view, watching your slow motion actions as if you were looking out from your own eyes (like Wolfenstein 3D).
Second, when you are doing this visualization it really helps to clearly imagine all of your senses input. In your mind really hear, smell, touch, taste, and see everything you would if you were in that moment.
If you find that it is difficult for you to visualize this with your eyes open please do not do this exercise while you are driving!
It's really fun to see the results of this exercise of controlling time and it really works well. It's an old trick from the science of neuro-linguistic programming that I have continued to use over the years. I hope you find that it works really well for you also! Have fun with it and always enjoy yourself in everything you do!
