Below you will find 15 life is short quotes and sayings – with images – to remind and motivate you to live more fully and at your happiest.
I personally wrote and designed these quotes on how life is short.
Why? Because I’m a recovered anxiety sufferer. I used to waste far too much of my time and energy on worry, fear and regret!
Thankfully, I now use meditation and a range of relaxation tools to master my mind and mood so I enjoy my life. I am fully aware of how much time I used to waste on worry, fear, negative self talk – and concern about what others think.
Mental health is crucial at any age, and keeping an eye on our cognitive function is a big part of that. A calculator like the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score can be really helpful in checking how we’re doing mentally, especially as we age.
