Episode 3276:

Helene Massicotte's reflection on the "Fast Forward Effect" explores how mindful attention can enrich our lives, making time feel fuller and more meaningful. By contrasting her past tendency to mentally escape with her present focus on being fully present, she illustrates the transformative power of awareness in everyday experiences.

Quotes to ponder:

"Paying attention is our own tool to disrupt the space time continuum; we can speed up or slow down our lives at will."

"Being present allows us to make fear-inducing decisions sooner because we stop medicating ourselves with thoughts that we can ignore the present."

"Our memories are etched based on how much attention we pay to a given moment, any moment."
