Do you want to extend your life?
Everyday consumes 24 hours of our life span. We have joy, pain, and boring moments throughout. But do we want to live longer? Or do you want to live a shorter life?
Science
Through every day contains 24 hours or 1440 minutes. Our brain interprets every minute differently, and makes it feel longer or shorter.
The amygdala is a region of the brain that activates when stress or negative emotions are induced. An active amygdala results in our perception of time slowing down.
As a result, happiness deactivates the amygdala and results in our perception of time increasing.
The pains of living a long life
Negative emotions result in a long perceived life. Happy emotions result in a short perceived life.
As a human, would you prefer to live a long frustrating life or a short happy life?
The answer is up to you!
