Cindy Lustig, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan, pointed out that routine may make us feel like we’re simply going through the motions.
She said that when we’re doing a lot of activities in a certain amount of time, it might seem “like time stretches out… and it feels very long.”
We all ‘have a lot of power’ on our experiences throughout time, so it’s crucial to live in the now and not linger on the past, she suggested.
