Nice thought, Albus, but, yeah screw that! my mind&#8217;s not all that organized just yet.
Currently, I am 26 years old and most everyone in my family has lived beyond the age of 90.
I always thought I&#8217;d have to be tricked into the grave, too.
However, according to the Blue Zones Vitality Compass quiz, my mental health issues (including depression, anxiety, stress, and anger) as well as a few poor physical health issues (um&#8230;smoking and lack of regular exercise) mean I&#8217;m actually 30 years old and I&#8217;m going to die when I&#8217;m 69.
Yeah, screw that! That is just not acceptable. I must [...]<p>Post from: <a href="http://www.blisstree.com">Blisstree</a></p>

<p>Nice thought, <a href="http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizards/dumbledoresez.htm" target="_blank">Albus</a>, but, <strike>yeah screw that!</strike> my mind&#8217;s not all that organized just yet.</p>
<p>Currently, I am 26 years old and most everyone in my family has lived beyond the age of 90.</p>
<p>I always thought I&#8217;d have to be tricked into the grave, too.</p>
<p>However, according to the <a href="http://www.bluezones.com/vitality-compass/compass">Blue Zones Vitality Compass quiz</a>, my mental health issues (including depression, anxiety, stress, and anger) as well as a few poor physical health issues (um&#8230;smoking and lack of regular exercise) mean I&#8217;m actually 30 years old and I&#8217;m going to die when I&#8217;m 69.</p>
<p><strike>Yeah, screw that!</strike> That is just not acceptable. I must get my brain in check, quit smoking, and jump a jack every now and then for Pete&#8217;s sake.</p>
<p>If you want to know your biological age, life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and Blue Zone years, <a href="http://www.bluezones.com/vitality-compass/compass">take the quiz</a>. Remember, no one can <em>really</em> predict any of this, but the well-rounded batch of questions (which are a decent mix of mental and physical health inquiries) can help give you an idea of the path you&#8217;re following.</p>
<p>You may also want to take the <a href="http://www.healthbolt.net/2008/04/28/testing-the-vitality-compass/">Healthbolt Challenge</a> and share your good (or, in my case, <em>bad</em>) news with Liz and Liberty.</p>
<p>So, what changes do <em>you</em> need to make?</p>

<p>We&#8217;re all going to die at some point; why not live it up now while we can? Head on over to <a href="http://www.blisstree.com/2008/04/10/mental-health-notes-wants-to-know-why-you-rock/">This Is Why I ROCK!</a> and find out how you can tell the world just exactly how you&#8217;re living it up!</p>
