Social Change for your life - one email at a time.

Obviously I am person that is attracted to social media.  I'm a gamer at heart.  Give me a way to score points by doing things.  Show me how I can conquer other people that I have not, nor will ever meet.  Let me pour my heart and soul out to the digital void in 140 character messages.  In all cases, I'm in.

Enter meyouhealth.com.  A semi social site that is uses FB connect and emails you a simple daily challenge that you can do to help improve your overall quality of life.  You can choose to take the challenge or pass on it, and if you take the challenge and successfully complete it, you earn points and eventually move up in the hierarchy of the program.  You can also post on the challenge page as to how you completed the challenge or issues you had while trying to complete it.

These challenges are very small and usually easy to complete.  Sample challenges are "Eat a food with blueberries or blackberries in it today", "Do a full spine stretch today", "Resist the urge to check the news online today".  The email then tells you ways that you might complete the challenge or strategies to employ, as well as why completing the challenge will make a positive impact on your well being.

I'm a big fan of the set up so far, but as you have to gain points to earn "tokens" to open the new tracks (Healthy Eating, Strong Family, etc) I'm wondering how long I will be able keep to the program.  As well, I'm interested to see what the CRM elements of the system have in store for me if I don't open two or three emails.  Will I get a "what the heck" email?  Because it is connected to my FB account - would it post "guess who's a fat-ass" posts on my profile?  THAT would be interesting.

I'm in for now, as much for the social media aspect of it as for the life improving tendencies. 

Do you have any social programs, apps, email systems, etc that you use to help you improve your life?  Productivity program, budgeting software/app, health improvement app?  I'm interested in checking out as many as possible to blog about and use personally.

Quickly on another note - walked about 2 miles today - first actual exercise in a while - body revolted a bit, but mind over body will prevail.
