Nowadays, there are apps that let us monitor almost every aspect of our lives, from our meals and steps to our sleep patterns. Some apps, like Track Your Happiness for iPhone, focus on less obvious aspects, such as our emotions. This app stands out by not only tracking your moods, but also providing insightful analysis about them.
As noted by Lifehacker, Track Your Happiness, created by Harvard researcher Matt Killingsworth, blends self-help with academic research. The app gathers your data confidentially, contributing to a larger study, so your input also aids ongoing scientific research.
Track Your Happiness is also designed to help you discover what truly brings you joy. Upon signing up, the app asks broad questions like, “How satisfied are you with your life overall?” Then, it shifts to more specific questions, regularly inquiring about your current activities, emotions, and whether you actually enjoy what you're doing. After gathering enough data, the app generates a report that explains when you're happiest and explores the possible factors contributing to your happiness.
This app is an excellent tool for anyone looking to connect more deeply with their emotions or understand the specific moments and activities that influence their mood. Give it a try by visiting the App Store.
