The main reason why a person does not want to leave this world lies in the fact that he is afraid not to do all the important things that he should. If we imagine the situation that death will occur in 10 minutes, then images immediately come to mind that we did not have time to accomplish, and that which we could not say. It seemed to us that there was an infinite amount of time ahead, but here we understand that this is not so, and completely justified fear is born.

In order not to be afraid of death, you must always do what you should or want. This does not mean that you are preparing to leave this world, by no means, you simply cease to be afraid of the very thought of death. Do not put off anything until later, do it now, daily go to the goal. Declare love when you feel it, and then you will feel life in its entirety, and death will not be scary to you.

If you recall the views of different cultures on death, then perhaps it will become much easier for you to perceive it. For example, Buddhists believe in reincarnation, which means that the soul will never leave the earth and will be embodied in another person. It can be interpreted in such a way that there is no death, since only the physical shell dies.

There is a way to get rid of the fear of death - to survive it in this world. There are many methods for this, but the simplest is the usual visualization. Remember the situation when you were on the verge of death, or there was such a risk (for example, crossing the road in the wrong place). Try to remember as clearly as possible, and also feel the state when you experienced a little shock.

Now imagine that you did not have time to dodge the passing car and fell under it. Imagine in detail how everything would happen. It is important to get used to the moment, and, as far as possible, to feel both internally and physically everything that is happening to you. This can be a rather painful practice, and it will not be out of place if a close person is with you.
