In our program, we want you to record events that happen to you that cause an emotion. We provide you a facility to write down the events that happen to you. You can link an event to an emotion. Later in the program you will come back to look at the event again. This is after you have gained new knowledge about the event and the initial attached emotion.
You write the event directly on the page.
You can use the speech-to-text function of your computer or phone to do this.
Write the description of the event clearly, so that when you come back to look at the event again, you will have a clear understanding of what the event was.
