Instructions:

Step #1: It’s important to reflect on your wellness lifestyle. Now that you have been introduced to the 9 areas of wellness, reflect on your life. Identify the top lifestyle factor (that you’re willing to change) that you believe is having the largest negative impact on your overall wellness. Why do you think you have this negative behaviour? What’s been causing it?

Step #2: Go to the website, BlueZones.com and scroll down to find the “Longevity Test”. Click on the “Take Test” tab. The test/assessment should take about 10 minutes. The information you include will be confidential. Complete the assessment and create an account.

You will receive results that feature 3 bar graphs outlined about. These bar graphs indicate your Healthy Life Expectancy (how long you may live a healthy life currently), Your Life Expectancy (how long you may live… perhaps in pain or an unhealthy way), and Your Potential Life Expectancy. See sample below.

Take a screen shot of YOUR results of the vitality test report. Include this screen shot with your answers to the critical thinking questions below.
