Practices that may help
- The Last Time Meditation
The "last time" meditation is a Stoic-rooted practice of bringing to mind the possibility that a current experience — a conversation, a meal, a routine — is happening for the last time. Not as morbid prediction but as a tool for defeating hedonic adaptation and restoring full attention. It connects to both the Stoic memento mori tradition and to psychological research on savoring, which finds that deliberately attending to positive experiences amplifies their positive effect. - The last conversation
