How To Reduce Stress

No matter what some may say, stress is not only a minor issue, because those who call it a plague of the modern world are absolutely right. If you're not stressed, then you're either one of the ones rich enough not to be stressed by their wealth, and having what it takes to live without worries, or you may be one of the happy ones who really succeed in hovering above daily problems and taking it all with a smile. Unfortunately, tens of millions are looking for methods to cure stress, and sometimes taking a deep breath and cursing your boss, the weather, the traffic or the share market is not enough. That's exactly when you need something more, more of...a game!?!

Yes, you heard that right - a game that promises to help you "reduce stress and boost self-confidence in just 5 minutes a day!" Its name is well chosen, since stress is nothing more but a state of mind usually induced by external factors and allowed to go on and on by one's weaknesses, so "MindHabits" should be a fine name for a scientifically tested brain game, don't you think?

The story goes like this - Got Game Entertainment just announced that MindHabits for PC and Mac, has been shipped to retailers across North America, but you can also play it online. It offers progress tracking, has an intuitive interface, and it's based on the principles of social intelligence - inhibition, association, and activation.

More details can be found on MindHabits.com, and if you want to purchase a license, its price is only $19.99, but the best part is that it has no side effects! So...how to reduce your stress? Start your day with MindHabits, and be sure to get back here and tell us about your experience!
