There are online tools (like "Death Clock") that estimate your remaining days based on your age and health. It sounds grim, but looking at a number— "You have approximately 12,847 days left" —is transformative. Print that number. Subtract the days as they pass.

Legend has it that when a Roman general returned from battle with a victorious parade ( Triumphus ), he would ride in a golden chariot. The crowds would cheer his name. He was, for a day, treated like a god.
