The most effective (but not the easiest) way is to disidentify with your own body. It dies, and you are something else, which rushes somewhere further depending on the merits. Whether it's hell, heaven, or another birth – the options vary depending on the beliefs. Your hands, your feet, your brain, your butt – it will all be dust. There's nothing you can do about it.

Think about this: if I die, why don't I fuck my life and get the most out of it. And then, at the end of life, you will understand that you did everything and it was not in vain, then death will seem logical and desirable to you. And think less about it, do more.
