How Many Mondays Do You Have Left?

The secret is out that we’re all living on borrowed time, so the question is whether we’re stuck in autopilot and going through the motions in our lives, or whether we’re living like we mean it with vitality and meaning… living lives we’d be proud to look back on without the faintest whiff of regret on our eventual deathbeds.

Shining the light on our scarcity of time helps us get clear about what matters. You might have more than 2,000 starts to your week left until your life calls it quits or only 20 to go. How do you want most of those Mondays to be? Life’s far too short to feel anything less than astonishingly alive. While we can’t control how long we live, we can control how well we live. You can make even the subtlest change to your well-being to start living the liveliest version of your life. How do you want your thousands or hundreds or dozens of Mondays to feel? How can you make that happen, without another week down the drain?

In this interactive talk rooted in the science of positive psychology, we’ll talk about how we can be more mindful about living the lives we’d love to live, and actually start living those lives… today, without a Monday to spare.
