Relationships and emotional growth are hard work. But they don’t have to be heavy. Let’s make them feel like play. Selfrell is a new, playful, and symbolic journal that helps you reflect on these feelings. We turn your emotions into 'Crells' - creatures you can understand and your inner strengths into 'Startifacts' - tools you can collect and grow. Stop feeling stuck and start your adventure of self-discovery! How it works? RECORD YOUR MOMENTS: Quickly log difficult emotional triggers ('Cue') or positive memories that build connection ('Foster'). RE FRAME YOUR THOUGHTS: Use your collection of 'Startifacts' (your inner strengths) to practice reframing negative thoughts into positive ones ('Tame'). SEE YOUR PATTERNS: Look back at your journal to *finally* see the patterns behind your feelings and build true self-awareness. What you will build? TRUE SELF-AWARENESS: Recognize your emotional triggers and learn to respond in healthier, more intentional ways. STRONGER CONNECTIONS: Nurture your relationships by reflecting on your patterns and fostering positive moments. MENTAL RESILIENCE: Level up by turning your life challenges into a fun, engaging, and meaningful journey. YOUR COMPLETE TOOLKIT FOR REFLECTION - GAIN UNDERSTANDING: Record emotional behaviors to see your patterns. - PRACTICE REFRAMING: Learn to turn negative thoughts into positive ones. - STRENGTHEN CONNECTIONS: Nurture positive experiences as daily affirmations. - OVERCOME CHALLENGES: Make finding unhealthy patterns more engaging. - GAMIFIED GROWTH: Use a symbolic, RPG approach to make complex problems accessible. - COLLECT YOUR STRENGTHS: Gather 'Startifacts' to reflect your personal growth. - BUILD YOUR WISDOM: Save helpful insights to find perspective when you need it. - AN ADVENTURE WITHIN: Go on a journey to build mental resilience. A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER I experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating complex relationship dynamics and their impact on mental health throughout my life. I created Selfrell to address this complex issue using a playful approach, making it easier, motivating, and meaningful to understand emotional behaviors. By combining my interests, I want to share the results of my journey and hope to create value for others as much as it has for me. — For more information: Terms of Service: https://www.notion.so/lifeful/Selfrell-Terms-and-Conditions-37eff858f8384f6e8c779eff53c22686 Privacy Policy: https://www.notion.so/lifeful/Selfrell-Privacy-Policy-6ab85eefad814366b22a88b4cb3fc286 If you choose to purchase Selfrell Gold, payment will be charged to your Apple account.
