Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast. It's just you and me today, so let's dive in deeply and intimately, as if we're sitting over a cup of tea, having a heart-to-heart conversation about a topic that's as profound as it is unconventional: the stress of time perception.

Now, you might be scratching your head, wondering what time perception has to do with stress. Well, let me ask you this: Have you ever felt like there just aren't enough hours in the day? That somehow, time is slipping through your fingers like sand. If you're nodding, you're not alone. This perception, that time is speeding up and we're falling behind can be a significant source of stress, especially if you have high blood pressure.

So, how exactly does this work? An interesting psychological concept called "temporal dissonance" might hold some answers.

Temporal Dissonance

Temporal dissonance occurs when there's a disconnect between our internal sense of time and the actual, measurable time on the clock. This can lead to a constant feeling of being rushed, which in turn ramps up stress levels and, you guessed it, affects our blood pressure.

Picture this: You're always rushing, mentally ticking off tasks while worrying about what comes next. It's no wonder you’re stressed. But what if we could shift our perception of time? What if the clock was no longer your enemy but your ally in managing stress?

And here's the exciting part, my friend. It’s entirely possible to find a mindful balance with time, and I’m here to guide you on how to do that today.

Find A Mindful Balance

First, let's talk about mindfulness. By embracing the present moment, you can slow down your perception of time, reduce stress, and perhaps even lower your blood pressure.

Start with something simple.

Pause right now, wherever you are, and take a deep breath. Feel the air fill your lungs, and let it out slowly. Focus on the sensation, the feeling of the breath going in and out.

You see, by anchoring yourself to the present, you're stepping out of the relentless flow of future-oriented thinking.

Next, I invite you to schedule "buffer zones" into your day, small pockets of time where you do absolutely nothing. Yes nothing….

No checking your phone, no planning the next task, just being.

This practice not only decelerates your perception of time but also gives your mind the space to reset and unwind. Imagine these buffer zones as tiny islands of calm in your daily ocean of activity.

Now, you might be wondering about practical steps to take beyond these momentary pauses. Well, let me share a method that has been transformative for many:

set realistic goals,

not just for your day, but for your hour.

When you break it down, it becomes less overwhelming and more manageable.

It's about taking control of your time, rather than being consumed by it.

And here's another tip, align your tasks with your energy, not just with the ticking clock. Identify the times of day when you naturally feel most energetic and tackle the demanding tasks then. You'll likely find that you're more efficient and less stressed.
