mindful

As adults, we're swept with responsibilities and the day to day of life. So much to the point where we often forget to think about how we're feeling.

Maybe you are going through some difficult struggles in your life. Perhaps you catch yourself in feeling a certain way but you don't know how to make sense of it.

This app is a tool in which you can use to analyze your emotions in a constructive way. A fitting analogy might be: If a set of dumbbells are a tool for working out, this would be a work out to develop the muscle you need to analyze your emotions.

Here's how it works:

- First, select from a set of feelings that you identify with.

- Secondly, Write about your emotions. How come you've felt this way today? What were you doing? And who were you with?

- Thirdly, select from a list of needs that you think might help with what you are/were feeling.

Some advice for using this program:

- Journal daily. At first, it will be hard. But like any habit forming activity, journaling will get easier with time. With time, you will become faster at analyzing your emotions.

- Focus on just 1 or 2 emotions at a time. You can journal multiple times in the day if you'd like.

Take a big breath. You can do this. Thank you, and be well.
