Coffin Experience
Do the coffin experience. I have recommended this every December for my consulting clients. Go somewhere quiet and imagine you have died and see your family, friends, employes, clients, and associates walk by your casket and tell you what they think of your life up to today. Listen for the positives and negatives. Then see what changes come from what you hear. Only the courageous will do this. If you do, it will be a life transforming exercise. [Every major change in my life has occurred because of this exercise and looking back after doing this annually for forty-three years, I have no regrets, regarding those decisions.] I encourage you to try this.
