Reminders of our own mortality can be a stressor but also a great motivator.

I experience moderate depression and a lot of time time my symptoms manifest as difficulties getting myself out of bed, which leads to tons of unnecessary stress, shame, and regret which only feeds into the depressive episodes.

I put up a “weeks of my life” poster just like this one and these days I spend a lot less time in bed.
