It is possible we could expend our natural life cycle through mental manipulation but it is going to be outside the ability of most normal people to achieve that level of visualization.
Not to mention the numerous factors that can cause our bodies too expire early.
Its not as simple as saying nah sorry death im not coming to play today.

I have often contemplated this, but failed to see it through due to not wanting to think that those that I loved just didn't have it in them to keep going.
On the other hand, I think that someone can actually have the chance to decide to either come back here or go elsewhere. A lot of people today I think would not opt for an earthly return, but I can always hope, and keep those who have passed in my heart for at least my eternity.
BTW I think that reincarnation is definitively an option, and kind of is what I would term immortality.
Peace to you...
Many children remember their past lives-spontaneously, without hypnosis or prompting. Some as young as two and still in diapers blurt out, "I remember when I died before" or "My other mommy had curly hair". They often describe details that they had no way of learning in this life. Some remember startling personal details of relatives who died before they were born.
Only recently here in the West have children's past life memories been researched and documented. These memories have long been accepted in other cultures. Now we know that these memories happen naturally to young children in all countries of the world, regardless of the beliefs of their parents. They can happen any time to any very young child, but parents often don't notice because they don't know it's possible or don't know what to look for.

Ask yourself this, were you alive today? When you ate breakfast, were you eating so you could be alive? When you went to work, did you work so you could be alive? Why do you need to eat to live when you are already alive?
Drink from the cup of life and the world around you shall change.

Why do you need energy? What else are you besides this energy? By needing energy are you saying that you don't have enough energy?
Its just like Car and gas, if you don't put gas then your car won't start. Human body works just like that.
Humans need energy first for basal metabolism and then for physical activities. The proteins, carbohydrates and lipids present in the food we take are or utilized by the body as a source of energy. The amount of energy measured in calories, which is needed to maintain the body while at rest is called the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The BMR is usually lower for women than for men and in general, it is affected by size, shape, weight, age and activity of endocrine glands. In addition, any type of exercise requires still more energy.
We spend energy when we do any type of work such as walking, running (jogging), swimming, dressing and undressing. Even when sitting at resting we spend some energy.

Yes I was alive, but what does that have to do with anything.
Everything needs energy to survive, some use the sun's energy, some use other things to produce energy, us humans use other living creatures and absorb their energy by eating them.
My question is, why do we die when we, no doubtedly have the potential to live forever?
IT is as if something programmed us to live specifically this long.
That is what pisses me off, I want to reprogram myself.

yeah but dont they have enough energy right now to work fine? so i guess they don't need energy, mybe they will need energy in a future possibility, but now, they don't. so mybe this idea of need and want is the first step to your deprogramming. look deeper into what you want.
