Which of those issues are important if you had six months to live?

 You may be feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Your mind may be racing and you are not able to focus during the day or sleep at night.

How can you manage this challenging situation?

One needs to re-focus on the big picture.

List all the issues that are bothering you.

Assume that your life ends in six months.

Which of those issues are important if you had six months to live?

Which issues you need to pay more attention which you are not currently paying attention to?

Do you feel any different as the result of this exercise? Is your focus different now?

Sometimes when we are in our head and we are in state of fight or flight, we may feel like a victim and very confused and stuck.

Focusing on what is really important and things that still matter in six months or more are pointers to refining our focus and attention. By doing so, you may realize that other issues that were bothering you are now less severe, and perhaps you have no control over them.

After a near-death experience in 2012, I set my affairs in order and am ready to go at anytime. I'm not sure if my partner is ready, but I have prepared her, hoping to free her from the 24/7 requirement of taking care of me.

If I actually knew it was only six months, I would hire someone and pay them handsomely and spend the time on the road in my van and in upscale hotels, visiting my family and all of those places that I remember seeing and want to see them again.

I may do that anyway very soon, but it would probably be a shorter version covering only two or three weeks. It is very hard for me to travel with all that I require helpwise.
