how to stay present and motivated knowing that i'm going to die someday

i currently am in this slump of anxiety due to acknowledging my mortality. i've read posts from others saying that because of our mortality, we should embrace our time here, but i can't help but feel demotivated by the fact that i will eventually die someday. i am a college student going through exams, fighting through the job application process, maintaining relationships, etc.

what are some specific examples of things you all do or keep with yourself that keep you motivated and help you to embrace the present?
