Or if you are an extreme present hedonist adrenaline junky looking for ways to spike your adrenal glands, you might engage in risky behaviors that unintentionally endanger yourself or others because you are living in the moment and not thinking about future consequences. For instance, if you are stuck in a negative past experience, you might think that from now on everything that happens to you will be negative so why even bother planning for your future because it’s just going to be the same old, same old. In TPT, the past is divided into past negative and past positive, and the present is divided into present fatalism and present hedonism. If any one of these time perspectives, including the future, are weighed too heavily, we can lose out on what’s really happening now and/or lose sight of what could be happening in our future, causing us to be unsteady.īeing out of balance in this way also shades the way we think as well as impacts negatively our decision making process. What can we do? We can be more aware of how we think about time – our past, our present, and our future - as well as how we spend it. We frequently take the importance of time for granted, never realizing how our view of this valuable asset affects not only our thoughts and behaviors, but also the choices we make.
