What if this was the LAST time I ever got to do this?

Recently, I sent an email about having a massive perspective shift that let me happily deal with a screaming preschooler.

​

A buddy responded, and offered something that made a big difference. He said that when he's been doing something difficult, he's been asking himself:

​

"What if this was the last time I ever got to do this?"

​

I've been trying it. It's a game changer.

​

It changes parenting. It changes marriage. It changes work.

​

It lets me appreciate what there is to appreciate instead of worrying about what's next. Like a pill that has the potential to instantly put me right in the moment.

​

And sometimes with certain tasks after I ask myself what if this was the last time I ever got to do this, I answer "good riddance!"

​

That's really important information to have too.

​

How much of what you do would you miss if it was the last time? And how much would you be happy to see go?

​

And today, what is one thing that you will pretend it's the last time you ever got to do it?
