I can't remember where or when I found this little tool, but you probably have noticed it sitting in my link section (here to the left). After this mornings chat with Terese, I feel that I need to explain how I am using it, and what it is a measure of.

I set it up in a way that I can give myself positve points (green line) for things I like and/or make me feel better, and negative points (red line) for things that I know will make me feel bad and I know how to avoid doing. It is NOT a measure of how I am feeling.

So, if we take a look at todays picture (a whole week is shown at a time with today beeing the point at the right hand margin), we kan see that I actively went and did something that I know will make me feel bad and know how to avoid on Sunday and Monday, and that I didn't do anything that will make me feel good on either of these days (if I did, the curve would not be red since the points would cancel each other out). The other days of the week, on the other hand, I predominantly did things I enjoy. However, this does not mean that I was feeling good during the time. It only means that I actively did something good for myself.

I feel, that I really need to stress that for me Joe's Goals is not a measure of how I feel but a measure of how many things I did that I enjoy and make me feel better. It helps me to think positive, and after this morning, it seems like Terese is using Joe's Goals in a similar fashion. :-)
