Mood – Track your mood, uncover hidden needs, and find calm Mood’s mission is to analyze your moods and shed light on what they truly mean. Behind every mood lie feelings and needs, often unconscious. Recognizing them brings relief—because most needs simply want to be identified and named! This emotional hygiene, still little known, is a powerful lever for well-being: when we learn to identify our needs, we can ease inner tension and transform how we experience difficult situations. With Mood, you get: - Guided mood tracking: Share your mood, and Mood suggests the associated feelings and needs to help you understand what you’re going through. - Written or spoken situation analysis: Describe a troubling situation; Mood identifies the hidden feelings and needs, then reformulates your experience clearly—free from judgment and limiting beliefs. - Immediate relief: Often, simply expressing a need is enough to ease inner tension. - New life strategies: Mood helps you take a step back and adopt new ways of responding, transforming your habits, broadening your perspective, and experiencing situations differently. - Statistics and history: Track your moods and well-being over time. Mood is the first app that deciphers your mood to uncover hidden needs, bring you relief, and support you in evolving your life strategies—so you can experience situations differently, take care of yourself, and access more joy.
