Track Your Mood and Emotions in Morning Pages
We’re super excited to announce our new update! The Statistics feature powered by IBM Watson Natural Language Processing technology is available for all the Morning Pages app users. Finally!
The role of the Statistics in the app is to help you understand yourself better by tracking your mood and emotions.
How Statistics works
After you’re done writing 500 words or more, you can jump to the Statistics page in the app to see what emotions you’re experiencing based on what you decided to write about.
Joy. Anger. Empathy. Fear. Disgust. These are five emotions you can expect to see on the screen. Sometimes you might see only one circle displaying joy, for example. And other times there might be two or tree emotions hanging up on the screen.
Other than emotions, the app will also tell you what mood you’re in. For example, if your writing has a lot of positive statements in it, you’ll see a happy smiley face and a note saying your text is 60% percent positive today.
The app will track your mood and emotions for every page you write, day by day. Then, you can see your weekly and monthly stats and analyse how your feelings change over time, and what causes them to change.
Why track emotions?
Your emotions are your very own GPS to get you where you want to go. Psychologists and therapists suggest that actively keeping track of the emotions you experience can help you effectively work on your mental health.
A daily writing habit brings about powerful positive changes because it helps you better understand youself. And when combined with artificial intelligence technology, it makes you even more self-conscious and self-aware.
Emotions and sentiment analysis of your writing helps you achieve the following benefits:
- Know exactly what makes you happy and sad.
- Become more mindful.
- Find connections between thoughts and feelings.
- Have a sense of control over your mental health and wellbeing.
- Look at the situations that cause negative influences from another angle.
- Live in the present.
- Stay motivated to continue writing when you notice positive changes.
Once you can recognize your emotions you can become aware of what causes them. You can work on that to become a happier and healthier person!
We like the thought that you create your own reality. The universe is simply reflecting back to you the essence of how you’re feeling about it.
