How is my current level of fitness and where will it likely be in the final 1 to 2 decades of my life on my current trajectory.c. What do my behaviors put me at risk of dying from (e.g. smoking tobacco or junk food addiction = multiple forms of cancer.d. What environmental risks am I exposed to (e.g. polluted air = COPD and lung cancer)- How have genetically related family members have died. These people share your genetics and often times your environment. They are a window into your own mortality.a. What things have killed my 1st and 2nd degree relatives?b. At what age did these problems begin and at what age did they result in death.c. Do I have a genetic predisposition to certain medical problems?- What things am I most worried about regarding death. People have strong intuitions that when trained can be incredibly accurate. Intuition is simply your brain analyzing a huge amount of data and coming to a conclusion that seems as if it came from a higher knowledge or being. The brain is a powerful supercomputer. If program members are worried about something, I am worried too, full stop. Granted, if someone is worried about everything due to severe anxiety they are essentially worried about nothing. If you goal is everything, it will in fact become nothing by default.
