14 – The Mood Point

When you have worked out where you are on the horizontal and vertical axes and made the marks, join the two points with a vertical and horizontal line to give you the MoodPoint. This Point describes your mood at that moment in time. When you do this several times a day, you will discover how your mood changes during the day.

I forgot to say that you can draw a mood about anywhere! You can put a vertical and a horizontal axis on any scrap of paper, together with the date. However in order to track your mood, it is important not to lose the scraps of paper! I have always therefore used a journal. The journal can be simple exercise book or something more elaborate. A large diary is good, because you don’t need to remember about remembering the date. I start each entry with my first MoodMap of the day, and as the day progresses and I come back to my journal, I add further entries. This journal also functions as my day planner and to do list.

In my journal I record
i) the date, the time and my mood
ii) any details that I think are relevant to my mood
iii) what I achieved yesterday
iv) what I need to achieve today, starring the important tasks
v) add something good that has happened in the last twenty four hours
