Learning to breathe slowly may help you get rid of such "false" feelings that actually have more to do with stress than with time, says a study. "Beyond the number of activities actually competing for their time, emotional conflict between activities makes consumers feel that they have even less time," said one of the study authors Jordan Etkin from Duke University, in Durham, **rth Carolina, in the US. "Emotions such as guilt about where time is being spent or fear over loss of income both generate stress, and make a person feel more pressed for time than they actually are," Etkin added. The authors identified two simple strategies to help people reduce false feelings of being pressed for time: slow breathing, and channelling amped-up feelings of stress into more productive high-energy emotions such as excitement.
