Hello Friends -
We have a crew of 24 beta-testing the Weather of the app. Here is today's audio (about 6 minutes long). And below is a picture of my charts beside my bed. I like the idea of having a mascot. I always feel like that little Japanese cat is rooting me on. In order for rituals to take root, they have to be somewhat fun. So consider finding a little mascot to keep an eye on your charts.
Have a great day,
Douglas
Over the past five years I have been designing a system for charting our emotions called The Weather of the Mind. It is a tool to further our understanding of our complex emotional lives. It provides a visual representation of the ebbs and flows of our emotions.
Do you want to see what your emotional chart would look like? And also help us to dial in this exciting new tool? Please join our test of the Weather of the Mind system. It takes just five minutes a day for six weeks. Sign up below.
We will be testing the system in hard-copy form. The plan is to get your feedback on the process of observing your emotions. Your help is very valuable. And as a thank you, I will evaluate and provide feedback for all of our volunteers.
Below are two examples of what I have learned from my personal test of the Weather of the Mind, an example of a recent week, and a chart that displays my average week, after 44 weeks of charting my emotions.
I will be publishing my complete data and more of what I have learned from designing and testing this system in the coming weeks.
Thanks for your help. You make the think tank work!

The Urbanmonks Thinktank is a online venue for the organization of reflections and discussions revolving around the broadest and most essential of topics: our emotional health and our culture.
What exactly is culture? What influence do we have over culture? How much do we influence the emotional health of the culture of our homes, relationships, workplaces, schools, villages, neighborhoods?
