Change isn't easy at the best of times but trying to break free from the chains of confining, harmful thinking and behaviour can seem almost impossible. Throughout our lives, from an early infant age, we crafted our narrative based on both our surroundings and parental influences and, this narrative weaves itself around our daily lives, colouring our self-perception, confidence, ability to analyse situations and many other facets of our existence.
Sometimes, then, the old tried and tested ways don't work as well. Instead, we need to employ new, innovative methods to help us achieve what we want, despite any doubt that seems to follow new trendsetters and historical change artists. This has been the way throughout history – from the use of computers ("There is a world market for maybe five computers" – Thomas J Watson), the application of internet use for education ("I predict the internet will go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse" – Robert Metcalfe ) through to scientific ideas like heredity, first posited by botanist and scientist Gregor Mendel but ignored by the scientific community until years later.
So, in keeping with this theme of setting a new trend, how about using a game to help achieve our wishes, plan our objectives and meet our goals?
