A huge thank you to our sponsors!
Life’s brevity is its greatest gift, reminding us to savor each moment and live with intention. Jodi Wellman, founder of 4000 Mondays, inspires us to embrace the finite nature of life as a tool for living boldly and purposefully. Drawing from her expertise as a positive psychology practitioner, Jodi shares how practicing gratitude, savoring everyday experiences, and creating meaningful routines can transform how we experience time. She challenges us to use the awareness of our limited Mondays not to stress but to prioritize joy, connection, and the things that truly matter.
Key Highlights:
- Use "mortality math" to heighten your awareness of time and create urgency to pursue meaningful goals.
- Shake up routines with novelty to add vibrancy and excitement to everyday life.
- Gratitude letters are a powerful way to deepen relationships and enhance personal well-being.
- Savoring the mundane—like enjoying a favorite drink or completing a simple chore—can provide surprising joy and fulfillment.
- Boldness and intentionality are essential for living a life that feels complete and regret-free.
