Best ways to slow time perception

What have you done that slows time perception? I think this is one of the best metrics for health, it's basically like how many FPS youre operating at.

@dan-dominic That's almost entirely dependent on metabolism. T3 wrote on this.
So, just as good questions would be "what to do to improve metabolism?" and there's plenty on that in other topics or old RPF.
But, something more specific to this that may not be mentioned in a typical "how to get better metabolism" would to move to/visit a new place and/or do some new activity. Time always seems slower in such situations regardless of overall metabolic rate.

Have children. At least this has been my experience. Having children has done so much to my perception. Sometimes it’s a challenge, mostly it’s a joy, but whether it’s a challenge or joy, time does seem to stand still when you pay direct attention to them.
The most confusing aspect to this for me is that so many people say the exact opposite; that time flies. Just hasn’t been my experience.

Lion's mane mushroom seems to make time pass slower. The one I used is from nootropics depot, 8:1 dual extract.

Generally slowing down helps.
If for example if you hike, walking slower and paying attention to your surroundings rather than quickly walking by. Another example is eating more slowly, chewing throroughly, tasting the food.
Meditation can slow down breathing and the mind, which can have the effect of slowing down perception of time. The psychedelic subtances can have a similar effect on the experience of time, but they're more unpredictable.

@Sattva Everything you said is not peaty. Meditation is bad and for losers just like psychedelics; it shrinks your amygdala as well.
Your advice is good for people with bad metabolism who want to have even worse metabolism.
