*Presence in the moment is the wise man's version of life extension.* <br> ## Presence Our perception of time is not linear. We can play tricks with time in order to lengthen the experience our lives. A present moment can feel like an hour, whereas a non-present day can feel like five minutes. Meditation is one way to achieve this. <br> ## Novelty Novelty is another way to play with the non-linear nature of time and experience. When we incorporate novel elements into our day, we expand our experience of time. This makes our lives feel longer and fuller. Take a break from your typical routine when life feels like it's flying by.
