Track your emotions and moods

How emotion tracking works

Emotion tracking is the second step of the daily reflection flow. Each time you reflect, you choose a feeling and then pick any moods that describe it in more detail. Moods are optional. Over time, this builds a personal record of how you have been feeling.

Choosing a feeling

During Step 2 of your reflection, you are presented with five feelings:

• Great — You are feeling wonderful.
• Good — Things are going well.
• Okay — Neither good nor bad.
• Not great — Things could be better.
• Bad — You are having a tough time.

Tap the one that best describes your day. Your choice determines which moods appear next.

Selecting moods

After choosing a feeling, a set of mood chips appears. These are more specific words that capture the nuance of how you feel. You can select as many as you like.

Moods are grouped by sentiment:

• Positive moods (shown for Great and Good): happy, cheerful, excited, grateful, relaxed, strong, determined, energised, pleased, satisfied, pleasant, hopeful, proud, inspired, motivated, optimistic, loved, thankful, peaceful, confident, calm, safe, comfortable, content.
• Neutral moods (shown for Okay): relaxed, satisfied, determined, hopeful, optimistic, content, safe, comfortable, unsure, bored, tired, confused, anxious, nervous, overwhelmed, stressed, insecure, jealous, embarrassed, disappointed, lonely.
• Negative moods (shown for Not great and Bad): bored, unsure, confused, tired, anxious, nervous, insecure, overwhelmed, stressed, jealous, embarrassed, disappointed, ashamed, guilty, lonely, frustrated, annoyed, shocked, worried, sad, angry, panicked, scared.

Moods are shuffled each time you reflect, so the list feels fresh and encourages you to consider a range of emotions.

Changing your feeling

If you change your mind about your feeling, tap a different option. Your mood selection is reset when you switch feelings, since the available moods change to match the new sentiment.

Browsing past emotions

You can revisit how you felt on any day by opening a past reflection from the Journal tab. Below your journal text, a You were feeling section shows your feeling and the moods you picked.

Filtering reflections by feeling

To find reflections where you felt a certain way:

1. Open the Journal tab.
2. Tap the filter icon to the right of the search bar. It appears once you have at least one reflection.
3. Under Filter by, tap Filter by feeling.
4. In the Feelings sheet, tap one or more feelings to see only reflections with those feelings. Tap Clear to reset.

A chip under the search bar shows the feelings you chose. Tap it to change them.

You can also filter by tags and sort by recently added, recently updated, or title.
