I am trying to find a way to terminate the current workflow execution from the workflow method. For reference, if there is an exception in the workflow method then I want to terminate the workflow execution.

Take a look at responses in posts [here](https://community.temporal.io/t/best-practice-for-explicitly-failing-workflow-execution/3414/2) and [here](https://community.temporal.io/t/what-are-the-different-ways-temporal-handles-exceptions-thrown-in-workflows/2789/3).
Note that If you want your workflow to fail on any exception type, you could set WorkflowImplementationOptions -\>FailWorkflowExceptionTypes to Throwable.class.
