Why does time seem to move faster the older we get?

Scientists have looked into this, but that won’t stop Joel and Walt from doing our own investigation in today’s show.

It’s an appropriate topic because today is also the day we record episode number 2000.

That’s a number I never expected to reach.

We do a deep dive on the topic today and discover something remarkable.

We all have control over how we’re going to experience time, whether it’s fast or slow.

After over a decade of conversations exploring the nature of time and its relationship to human perception, Walt Thiessen and Joel Elston uncovered profound insights about finding contentment no matter how quickly or slowly the moments seem to pass.

In their 2000th episode of “LOA Today,” Walt and Joel reflected on their journey over the past 11 years. So much had changed in both of their lives, yet it felt like just yesterday that they began these discussions. “It’s mind boggling,” said Walt. Joel agreed, remarking that it was difficult to comprehend everything that had occurred over the past 11 years, from career changes to tragic losses to new beginnings.

Despite the accelerated pace of change they had both experienced, Walt explained that his perception of time’s flow was more fluid. “For me, it shifts by the moment,” he said, noting that periods of stillness or transition seemed to crawl by while times of active change flew. This led them to examine how focusing on different experiences—positive or negative—can impact one’s sense of time.

Joel shared how in moments of deep grief or joy, time appeared to stop entirely. But through dedicated practice of mindfulness and gratitude, he had learned to find lightness even in darkness. Now his days were filled with conscious appreciation for life’s small blessings, from the coolness of his office on a hot day to the leather detailing of his car.

Both men agreed that humor plays a key role in releasing us from fixation on problems, allowing cares to dissipate and time to slip by unnoticed, as their own conversations so often demonstrated. But the most important lesson was maintaining presence for whatever each moment holds. “We have so much control over time,” Walt emphasized. “The question is, what do we want to do with it?”

After 2000 episodes of exploring spiritual and personal growth, Walt and Joel discovered that peace lies not in racing after more time but in fully embracing each instant as it unfolds. Their conversation was a testament to the power we each hold to find lightness in life’s journey, no matter how swiftly or slowly its path may seem.
