Do you know how many Mondays you have left... in life? You get 4,000 on average, and while the bad news is that you’re totally going to kick the bucket, the good news is there’s still time to live before you die. Learn how your mortality can motivate you to make the most of your precious time above ground. Time’s ticking. Jodi Wellman is a leading authority on living lives worth living. As a speaker and facilitator, she helps her clients live squander-free lives while they’re lucky enough to still be above ground - while cleverly beginning with the “big end” in mind. She named her business Four Thousand Mondays because it shines the light on the finite number of weeks we have to live like we mean it. Jodi holds a Master’s of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she is also an Assistant Instructor. As a certified coach with 25 years of corporate leadership experience, she helps executives, teams, and high performers work well and live even better. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

All the ways we have of distracting ourselves from real life have left us complacent, disassociated and bored. What are these distractions really for? What if everyone lived with actual consciousness, all the time ? We'd very soon realize there is a lot more to it than money and reproducing

When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer it came with tremendous pain. When dealing with her own disease she created space in her mind to accept what she could not control. The death of a loved one remains challenging in moving on. Its a process that is individual and private. The outside may look like things are okay, but the feelings must be felt. Its wonderful to be courageous and its beautiful to be vulnerable.

When I was hit by a car a few years ago it was a real wake up call. Despite being in an induced coma for nearly 46 days, I am still so grateful it happened. I used to be so scared to take risks or try anything new, and now I want to try it all! I've stepped out of my comfort zone and am consistently presented with new opportunities. My perspective, my life, everything has changed and I am honestly just so happy to hear this articulated so well. Thank you Jodi!

It's definitely interesting to think about, the way some people would perceive how others are 'wasting' their lives but really they're having the best time doing whatever it is. Who is anyone to say that someone else isn't living their life to the fullest?
@jodiwellmanfourthousandmondays
I 133% agree with you! I love that vitality and meaning are relative, and one person's version of an astonishing life can be totally different than someone else's. We get to choose what a "life well-lived" means to us, and then hopefully go and live that life.

Talking with someone about these feelings - a partner, a dear friend, a spiritual advisor, someone you trust - can help you process these feelings so that they no longer weigh you down. It may take many tries, but can help you feel that a burden has been lifted. It can help you move on to care for other physical and emotional tasks that are part of the end of life. There are many important tasks at the end of life, but coming to terms with the losses is one of the most painful.

“Remembering that we are going to die is the secret to a well-lived life.” “Death is life’s change agent.” I think I currently have 2734 Mondays left (if I live to 91). Love the idea of the “roar of awakening.” What a fantastic talk!

truth
@jodiwellmanfourthousandmondays
Such a good question. I agree that our needs and priorities evolve as we age (look up socioemotional selectivity theory to nerd out if you want!), and I also think the best we can do is to take action on things that matter today. It might not matter as much down the road (to have written that book or to have travelled to Peru, for example), but at least we'll have lived in accordance with our current values.

Death is such a natural part of life, it's hard to understand why it's become so tangled up and perceived like it's the worst thing to happen to a person. It's only sad for the people left behind but within that we should shift our thinking and learn to celebrate rather than grieve

This talk is brilliant. For 38 years I have lived a very vital and blessed life. The blessings came with more & more people I taught information that changed their lives. That is why when my friends said "what if you die of covid?" I replied that I have lived my purpose and know I have made a difference in thousands of people's lives. Because of that, I am not scared of graduating from this dimension. I especially enjoy helping people live their purpose and feel Astonishingly Alive. Thanks Jodi

I'm right there with you, agreeing that we don't intend to waste our time. Some months fly by in a blur, though, and it would be cool to pay a little more attention to whether we're living wider and deeper, and be honest with ourselves whether we've crossed something off our bucket lists in a while. Life can get in the way of ... LIFE😉!

Yes I have many could of should of books and then I had to examine them... I realized my drive wasn't so much about what I wanted, but what I thought I should want. At this stage in my life my only regret is I didn't pay attention to the present moment, it was more like a list of to do's, or at some stage it might even have been a bucket list. Desire for more, or doing something better, different etc, left me grateful, yet empty and exhausted. I don't care how many Monday's I have left, I want inner peace and joy in the day I have now and each day. And yes I could die in any moment, as that is as true as living.

Fantastic talk Jodie. Death doesn't have to be this sad, looming thing.

Right ... we can use the idea of it to our advantage (and even poke fun at it)!

People who have had near death experiences realise that we are eternal beings... and let go of time shortage mentality.. they realise that death is an illusion a lie that we have allowed ourselves to be programmed with. They realise that we are one and that we are Powerful co-creators. And that what you focus on and give your attention to , becomes real in your own energy field /your reality. Time shortage mentality comes from Fear and fesr is like Darkness it is the lack of Truth and love and light

Well, counting Mondays is definitely one of the safer ways to remind ourselves of our morality.

What has society done to us, that we need people to talk about their experiences with death in order to remind us we're alive?
@jodiwellmanfourthousandmondays
It can seem frustrating, right? As Nietzsche says, "Man is the only animal that must be encouraged to live."

When someone knows they’ve reached their last stage of life, there can be a loneliness that’s different from any other.
@jodiwellmanfourthousandmondays
I have heard that from hospice workers. I have also heard that when people believe they have lived their lives fully, their fear of death can be decreased, which is comforting.

It's weird to think about what I'd do if I was going to die tonight. Like just one day doesn't give you enough time to do anything... I guess maybe that's why it's easy to take every day for granted because you feel like oh it's just one day. But obviously when you add them all up that's your life.
@jodiwellmanfourthousandmondays
That's such a good point... we live day to day and that makes it easier to take smaller chunks for granted.

Great talk Jodi! We're so distracted by other peoples lives and the mundane aspects of our own that we can easily fall in to a rut and stop appreciating what we have!
@jodiwellmanfourthousandmondays
That's so true... it's all too easy to take our lives for granted. Worth making an effort to stop and appreciate our time.

The older we get the more regularly we experience death. Having this kind of out look maybe is for the best

Good point about increased exposure to death as we age ... sad, but true and potentially instructive.

We do the best we can with the information we have. We're all going to die with and without regrets.
@jodiwellmanfourthousandmondays
Right! Being human means being perfectly imperfect. All we can do is influence/control what's within our realm, like engaging in life to prevent regrets-in-the-making.
