Happiness Hack#9: Imagine You Will Die Tomorrow Once upon a time, long ago, I was very sad. On that day, I did something I had never done before: I took around half an hour to completely and wholly imagine that I was going to die the next day. The experience changed my emotional state from “extreme sadness” to “blissful joy”. What do you have to do? Note the time right now. Imagine that exactly at this time tomorrow – you are going to die. Doctors have diagnosed you with some illness or something has happened to make this day your last. Really think about this. Dont skip to the next lines. Feel it. How would you spend your last day? There is just this day and nothing else. Look at your arms and legs. They wont exist or move after tomorrow. Look around you – these walls, the chair, the computer, the mobile phone – there will be nothing – you will die! Your relationships, everything that you hold dear – will not exist like they are existing right now. Feel this completely. Flow into this state to such an extent that for a moment you truly believe you are going to die tomorrow. Now – ask yourself – how would you want to spend your last day? What will you do? 24 hours is all you have. If you walk on the street and a stranger shouts at you, what will you do? Will you keep working on your job? If not, where will you go and whom will you meet? Are there some things you need to tell someone? Imagine that last day completely. Imagine it in detail. Flow into that last day emotional state. When you truly imagine living that last day – a wave of gratitude, appreciation for all that is and joy will enter you. Yes, you will be happy. And that happiness will last for quite some time after you have stopped thinking about your last day. 100 Incredible Happiness Hacks Meghashyam Chirravoori
