YU: You Understood app analytics for December 28

At YU, we want you to stop. Take a moment to reflect, to think about how you feel. By recording your emotions using our app, we can provide data insights on connections between emotions and other factors, like people and activities, that otherwise go unnoticed. YU can help to make you more self-aware, and this knowledge is key – it can unlock the power to make positive changes that can lead to a more conscious and fulfilled life. We believe that knowing yourself better is the first step towards improved well-being, and we’ve created YU to help you get there. Taking a minute or two to reflect on how a particular event made you feel can help strip away the distractions of daily life and allow you to focus fully on your thoughts and emotions. Capturing the important information that goes with that moment – where you are, who you are with and what you are doing – adds depth and context that can be used to see patterns in behaviour that you might not otherwise be aware of. Learning what makes you tick and what brings you down can help pinpoint ways to improve your well-being. YU allows you to record your daily activity in a few simple steps by writing about how you feel and what you did during the day. You can capture a moment in around one minute, but we advocate taking your time – time spent investing in your own mental health and well-being is time well spent. No matter how long you choose to spend, the goal is to make it easy for anyone to start a habit of self-reflection every day, with no pressure to write lengthy paragraphs (although you can write as much as you want!)
