Internet games that get us off-line and out in our communties are springing up everywhere with the popularity of Foursquare. Mindbloom’s Life Game has been around longer than Foursquare, but takes a different approach. Instead of winning by visiting the most places in your area, Mindbloom has you visit parts of your life to see what is really important to you.
The Life Game give you the goal of growing the life you want through your life tree. Each part of your life: health, spirituality, relationships, finances, creativity, leisure, lifestyle and career is represented by a branch. Your individual goals, like: drink 8 glasses of water today, or stop using your debit card for incidental purchases, are represented by leaves. The more leaves on your branches, the better you’re doing in the game – and in your life.
Like life, the game is not about a final outcome, it’s about the journey. As you take small steps in the game and in your life you’ll begin to understand what is really important to you. When you neglect a branch, say your leisure time during a particularly stressful time at work your leaves will start to brown. Brown leaves aren’t always a bad thing! It’s a simple way to visualize your life and understand how your attitudes change with the seasons and activities in your life.
You can also connect with friends, family and groups on Mindbloom to share inspiration and motivate eachother toward a better life.
