Being aware of our mortality can help us appreciate life more and live courageously. You can use the calculator on the ‘Four Thousand Mondays’ website to see how many Mondays you probably have left to enjoy. (Trust us, it’s a good jolt to get us doing what we’ve always wanted to do.) Meanwhile, be sure to also take a peek at Wellman’s book, ‘You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets.’

So, with that in mind, it’s not just enough to get your 10,000 daily steps in or avoid processed food. You have to consistently put in focused effort to strengthen the connection between you and the people you care about the most. The difficult truth is that without a flourishing real-life social circle, your life won’t be as great, no matter how big your muscles, bank account, and follower count might be.
