Imagine that your life is about to end prematurely or fast-forward in time to your eighties or nineties. You're sitting on your deathbed reflecting on what you've done and not done with your life - are you satisfied? This is what psychologists refer to as the 'deathbed test'. It's not pleasant thinking about your own mortality, however, this thought experiment is often used as a tool for positive change.
