And since today is Plan Your Epitaph Day, this seems like a good time to talk about this. I did touch on this briefly in yesterday's post but I'm expanding on the idea today.
Since the library decided that they would be closed on Easter and I don't know where my copy of the book is right now, I'm going from memory and what I can find on the Internet.
There is a visualization exercise in the book where you are to imagine you're viewing your own funeral and several people get up to speak about you, such as friends and family members, co-workers, etc. What would these people say about you if you were to die right now? Would it really be what you want to be remembered for? Or are there things you want to change in your life? If there are changes that you want to make, today is a good day to begin making these changes.
You don't have to apply these principles only to the end of your life. You can also apply them to any project or goal that you have. First, visualize the outcome that you want and then take the steps needed to accomplish that goal or project. For more on this, see my series of articles on goal setting here.
Interesting days
Today - Plan Your Epitaph Day…see above. It's also https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/new-beers-eve/ Have a pint (or 3) for me too! And it's https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tartan-day/ Here's some kilts and bagpipes for you. And if you have any caramel leftover from yesterday's Caramel Day celebration, it's also https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/caramel-popcorn-day/. Here's a recipe for making your own caramel popcorn using packaged caramels. This recipe contains peanuts so it's like Cracker Jack…but you can also just leave them out if you don't like, or can't eat, peanuts. Or you can be like me and just buy some Cracker Jack and get candy coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize!
