Even short trips away make you feel like you've been on holiday for ages.
Reason: Our brains use different ways to measure time.
It is creating memories that slows down time.
Each new experience, smell, sight, person, culture, sound, taste creates a memory.
Visiting another country or even several in one day is bound to create a wealth of memories that we store as mental images and sense bytes
These actions enhance our perception of life and stretch it out or appear to make time seem a lot longer.
How can we capture this effect in our daily routined lives?
some simple ways to build more memories into your life are: try new and different foods and combinations of ingredients, vary the route you drive or walk to work, talk to someone new in your school or workplace, learn a new skill, start a new project with someone etc.
The biggest robber of time appears to be internet surfing or watching TV as this shuts off the part of the brain which makes memories.
This makes it appear to you that you have done nothing at all
In normal daily life we make 6-9 memories in a fortnight
On holiday we can make more than that each day.
Don't let the rain stop your plans, some of the best memories come from battling the elements.
Make sure you sample all the local fare.
Eat like the locals.

Taking photos and keeping a journal are easy ways of bringing your memories to life again.
God claims Earth and everything in it,
God claims World and all who live on it,
He built it on Ocean foundations,
laid it on River girders.
Psalm 24 The Message.
