At 1 point, I was thinking about mortality like every single day. It was er unproductive, to say the least. So a trick that I use to get out of analysis paralysis that is tied to mortality is to ask myself "if I were to live forever, what would I do". And paradoxically, it works. I have a streak of self-sabotage, because I thought "things were going to sheet (death) anyways, might as well". But what if ... it never goes to sheet, and I would have to live with that choice forever? I think twice before I self-sabotage. It's a weird little mental trick but it works.
