Mood check-in

Putting a specific word to an emotion has been studied as "affect labelling": in laboratory work it is associated with reduced amygdala response and self-reported distress, though effects are small and mostly short-term. [1][2] This check-in is a noticing exercise, not a measure of mental health.
