The Benefits
Emotional Awareness is a key component to more deeply understanding ourselves. The insight gained from using this app can offer vital information that can help you develop a more conscious relationship to your emotions, which can affect every facet of your life.
By reminding you to regularly “check in” on your emotional state throughout the day and collecting that data, you are creating a map from your own observation that allows you to better understand your emotional patterns, and therefore cultivate deeper awareness.
The Participation Experience
Settings: You will be asked to check in with the emotions that you are feeling a specific number of times each day. You control how many times a day you submit your information, and you can update the frequency at any time in under Settings. You can automatically and/or manually check in up to 12 times a day.
Check in: For the purpose of using this app, we have divided the human emotional experience into eight different categories, which contain variations and degrees of any specific emotion. These categories were designed to offer a simple, yet comprehensive system to create a foundation for a deepening relationship and understanding of these ever-changing emotional states within you. When you tap on one of these eight emotional categories, a list of related and associated words for that category will be displayed to assist you, ensuring you are choosing the correct category that reflects your emotional state in that moment. (For a more detailed description of the Emotional Categories, refer to Your Emotions.)
Notes: As part of your journey into emotional awareness, remember to use the Notes function. This feature allows you to manually capture specific and personal information (up to 70 characters) during each check in about your emotional experience. Refer to your entries at any time in the Notes section.
APP MAPS: By selecting the APP MAP option, you can see an overview of the valuable information that you have submitted. Each of the four APP MAPs (Emotions, Focus, Body, and Range) all display and map specific information and data collected from your experience. By tapping on aspects of each of the APP MAPS provided, you can see more specific and additional data analysis.
Gallery: This app includes a feature that allows you, as part of your check in process, the option to not only capture but also to share your emotional experience with a photo on various social media platforms. The app includes 30 photos to further enrich your experience and offer a more complete documented overview of your journey into emotional awareness. Your photos can be viewed in the Gallery section on your app to view a collection of your images. You can upgrade to a one-year Unlimited Photo upgrade to not miss a single moment of your journey!
Additional Online Tools and Resources:
You may choose to review your App Maps with a coach, trainer or counselor who can help to interpret the information and provide personal guidance.
