BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Life/Death Plans and Body Intelligence

Creating a life-death plan and the importance of working out body intelligence.

Bronnie Ware tells Gillian Russell about what a life-death plan can do, plus Rachel Carlton Abrams talks about the importance of working out body intelligence.

Bronnie Ware, author of The Top Five Regrets Of The Dying, talks to Gillian Russell about why she thinks we all need a "life/death" plan, how coming to terms with your own mortality can help you to live life to the full and what she's learned about life from those who are close to death.

Mark Hazelwood from the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care and the Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief project explains why being more open about death is a good thing and what practical steps we can all take to tackle the reality of death.

You know what your IQ is but what about your BQ? Rachel Carlton Abrams, doctor and author of Bodywise, says discovering our body's intelligence is the key to looking after our health and wellbeing. Can getting to grips with our BQ give us real, lasting health and healing? And how important is it for us to listen to our mind as well as our body?

Sonia Cubrillo has been reviewing Bodywise so we'll be finding out what changes - if any - she's made and whether she's learned to listen to her body.
