Top 5 Regrets of the Dying:

  1. "I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
  2. "I wish I hadn’t worked so hard."
  3. "I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings."
  4. "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."
  5. "I wish that I had let myself be happier."

1. Focusing on my relationships

  • We are in the midst of a loneliness epidemic.And more bad news-loneliness is as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes per day.

How I'm fighting it:

• Reconnecting with one friend per week

• Scheduling more time with people I love

• Focusing on being fully present

2. Cutting out alcohol
