The practice of mindfulness and savouring every moment will help us counter the speed of life.

• New studies show that the increased speed of time as we grow older might now be only related to ageing or having fewer new experiences, but due to the way we experience an event.
• If we focus on the present moment, like when we are chewing food, or watching a sunset, we can experience it more vividly and literary slow down time. More attention also means better memory, as it encodes more data in an improved manner inside our brain.
