Contemplate Your Death

Think about your own death for a short period of time, not in a morbid way but regularly/daily; described as reorienting values toward loved ones, service, and what truly brings happiness. Includes Buddhist death meditation; more extreme corpse meditation is mentioned as an intense variant.

1 / 1

one thing you'll find in a lot of faiths is they ask you to contemplate your death... And so the trick with this is, if you can think about your death, not in a morbid way, not in the way that you dwell on it, it's actually quite useful.
