What it feels like waiting for something?

When I was studying physics I come to know time is not absolute rather nothing in our universe is absolute. Everything we see or visible in our eyes is relative.

Just like this when we are having a good time time seems like going fast. On the other hand when we are having tough time time seems like moving slowly.

You may have experienced this type of relativity in your life too. You'll see time is flying so fast when you are having very good time but when you are passing through any sad situation you'll see time suddenly stopped moving.

So why am I suddenly so much freaked out about time? Because I want to write an interesting article about how I pass my time when I'm waiting for someone or something very eagerly. And also I'll share what it really feels like waiting for the things eagerly.

First let's start with what it really feels like when I'm waiting for something or someone.

Feeling of waiting for something has two types. These are:

1) Waiting for a thing which will never come

2) Waiting for a thing or someone which will come within a certain period of time.

Waiting for the thing that will never going to come is a different type of feeling. But we never stop waiting for rather we keep waiting though we know we are never going to have those.That's a super complicated human psychology undoubtedly.

I can bet you still wait for a thing you know which will never come but somehow you believe it will come.This type of feeling makes us more hopeful, makes us a strong believer over life that we are going to achieve something in the future.

But waiting for the things which will come surely within a certain period of time but than time seems like it has stopped moving.

As I've said earlier from Einstein's theory time is more like a relative thing. So that's why when I'm waiting for something I feel like time is not moving at all. Let me know have you also felt the same when you are waiting for something.

Let me share with you an interesting technique of mine.

When my friend invites me to join a party on 11 AM than I don't go exactly at 11 AM. Because from my life experiences I can say if I go exactly at 11 I have to wait almost half an hour for others to come.

This half an hour will feel like an eternity to me. So I restrain myself from going somewhere exactly at the time to avoid waiting.

When someone invites me to join 12 PM I go there after at least 15 minutes. For me being few minutes late is great instead of boring waiting.

Now let me share with you what interesting things I do when I'm eagerly waiting:

1)First of all I try to divert my mind. If I feel that I'm waiting than I know time will stop moving again. So I don't let my mind actually feel that I'm waiting so I divert my attention to something else.

You can also do that just change the way you are thinking just bring any new topic to your mind. For example try thinking what if the earth is not round rather it's a hexagonal box? Ha ha I'm trying to make it this boring waiting time a funnier one.

2)Secondly after successfully diverting my mind I try to out my attention completely on a different subject.

If I'm standing on the roads than I started looking at the moving vehicles. And I try to calculate how many red buses have gone past me.

Ha ha ha this is also a very interesting technique of waiting.Just focus on something which is completely different.

When I'm sitting on a restaurant than I started calculate how many customers are coming and how many going. I think you've understand just keep your mind busy on something so that you can get rid of waiting boredom.

3)Thirdly I started to do simple mathematics inside my head.This is a another technique of keeping busy your mind.

I just took some random numbers and started adding/dividing/multiplying them simultaneously.Though I'm not good at mathematics but I don't know how but I feel time started moving fast.

4)Fourthly I don't look at my clock or my phone watch again and again.

I know it's very tempting to check the time but trust me you'll feel like you are waiting for an eternity.Though you just passed only five minutes. So try not to check the time again and again.

5) Fifthly if the waiting period is getting longer than usual than I dive into the newsfeed.You know any social media newsfeed is a place where you can just get lost in different things.

There is also a saying that if you scroll only five minutes in newsfeed be sure you've passed already one hour.

6)Sixthly if you ask me to if I do any productive things or not than I'll say yes sometimes I do when I'm waiting.I started reading readers digest and some other sites.

So that's how I spent my waiting period when I know things will come in a certain period. But as I've said if I felt that things will never come than it makes me a believer.
