Tuesday, too, will pass
Photo: npstockphoto/Getty Images/iStockphoto Unfortunately — once again — it is Tuesday. True, it’s no longer Monday, and that’s nice, but most of the week lies ahead of us — if we ever get there, which feels unlikely, at this point, as Tuesday is everlasting. Surely by now it must be Thursday, you’re probably thinking. And yet — no. As the Onion most poignantly put it in 2007: “It Only Tuesday.” After this, there are still three whole days to get through before the weekend.
Another major factor in our perception of time has to do with our emotions, says Ogden. The more strongly we feel our feelings , the more distorted our perception of time. One of the ways researchers measure this arousal is through sweat production, as in a lie-detector test, says Ogden. Given that many Mondays are as stressful as they are busy , we’re even more likely to feel like they’ve lasted for ages than we are with other days.
At this point in the conversation, I began to grow sweaty and nervous, so I asked Dr. Ogden whether there was anything to be done about Tuesdays — whether there might be a way to enjoy them for what they are, such that the rest of my life can be slowed down and appreciated. Would you believe me if I told you she suggested mindfulness?
