Happy Spooky Season one and all!
Given the color of the hill here in Upstate New York there’s no question that fall has fully arrived (despite it being 70 degrees here this week!) Next week is All Hallows Eve is upon us, the annual recognition of the macabre, hidden, and taboo. That’s why this week on the Better Than Fine podcast I had the exceptionally spooky (okay, not that spooky… but delightfully quirky) Jodi Wellman from Four Thousand Mondays!
You Have (about) Four Thousand Mondays
Jodi’s whole deal is how the contemplation of our mortality can be a driving force in building wellbeing. Did you know that most of us get around four thousand weeks in our lifespan? (You can calculate how many Mondays you have left here …Thanks Jodi!)
According to Jodi’s research, near death experiences and being reminded of our mortality spark us to stop wasting time. We go on those adventures, learn new skills, and tell those we love how we really feel.
Jodi explains it all way better than I do - so check out the episode of Better Than Fine wherever you get your podcasts, the player above, or YouTube here.
