Fear of Time: Clock and Calendar as Enemies

The time it is a useful human invention, but one that enslaves us. If we want it to pass quickly, it flows slowly, while if we want to enjoy it, it flies. Also, if we try to do many things but it is never enough, it would take a day that had more than 24 hours. Then you feel guilty if you allow yourself a little relaxation. In short, they are all symptoms of fear of time. A fear in which we feel that time is taking over our lives. Real inner discomforts hinder social relationships and extinguish the imagination. A fear that pervades in silence and makes time our enemy. A kind of nightmare where time haunts us and it never seems to be enough.

Why has there been fear for a while? Watching the clock obsessively several times a day in order to be able to do a million things in one day. Why does time become the enemy? There are many factors, such as a poorly managed period of high engagement. The attention is unbalanced for every single activity and the poorly organized day. Small concessions of pleasure in a very short time, a time begged, too quickly and with guilt. Everything becomes like one psychological burden.

Here’s how to go about it. Here are a few useful strategies to better deal with time anxiety. Understand the problem. Observe and realize how difficult it is to get organized. Keep track of the things we do. Lots of time for one small thing, little time for another important thing.

It is we who must become masters of time and not the other way around, only in this way will we be able to defeat the fear of time in advance. The mind should focus on pleasure and less suffering. Make sure your timing is right.
