The "Ted Talk" with the video game designer Jane McGonigal was fascinating, and pretty cool. Making your life a video game with objectives is an interesting way to approach things. She talked about how eating something healthy, thinking about something positive, or taking a walk to clear your mind were "power-ups" and how those in her life were "allies" while her obstacles were her "enemies". It's a good concept for those who are feeling desperately ill, or extremely upset, but for those who work for a living and are busy, it is difficult, if not impossible, to keep up with. She recommends that everyone should give it a try, and that it is easy. I disagree with this, because the busyness of life gets in the way.
