At the end of the year, the entire chart will be filled and you can either reflect on a certain day or month or begin to notice patterns concerning your mood. Reflect and answer questions such as: how many days a year am I happy? How many bad days do I experience? Is it linked with the weather, work, health? Most importantly, how can you make your year better? Mentalyze makes it significantly easier to learn more about your patterns and habits.
