Journal

Keeping a journal has many benefits; not only does it allow us to review what has happened in the past but it is also a great tool to benefit the recovery from a stress and mental illness. It is hard to monitor progress without being able to look into the past and see how you were at different times and in different situations.

By keeping a journal it makes it easy to skip back a day, a month, or even a year or more to see what you were thinking and how you were feeling.

Mood Manager allows you to keep a simple online journal facilitating the recording of how you are feeling, what you are thinking and events going on in your life.

The journal can be used in conjunction with the other tools and trackers to provide more details about what is happening in your life.

So, to make the most of journal

• record a journal entry daily
• describe how you are feeling
• describe what has happened during the day
• describe some goals you would like to achieve and your progress towards those goals.

The journal will assist you in all these steps, record the results and allow you to review them at any time.
