I like to call this site the ‘smile game’.  They claim to be backed by years of research, and frankly, I believe it.  I’ve been playing the Matrix game - very simple idea, seems too simple really - they present you with a grid of faces.  Some are smiling, some neutral, and some frowning.  Your job is to click the smiling faces.  Tiles shuffle, time runs out, and all-in-all they manage to make it pretty challenging.  It’s not the most fun game in the world, but I feel like it really helps build confidence, and reduce anxiety for me.  It strikes me as funny - a simple game like this could have a big impact on how I feel day-to-day.  We aren’t so far from apes, after all.
