5.Release Regret
Looking too far into the future can add on years to your life, but so can dwelling too much on the past. “Self-indulgently holding onto regrets, failures, grudges, anger, resentments, and losses that we may never have processed (from an emotional standpoint), collapses rather than compresses time,” says Druck.
“Stuck in a revolving door of unpleasant memories, lingering sorrows, and self-defeating narratives, we are miserable, and we lose time.”
By catching ourselves in this kind of thinking and to reframe it, Druck emphasizes that we are actually able to “compress, lengthen, lighten, fill and sweeten our time.”
