'Awareness' application for iPhone. Happy to discover I am logging happiness 59% of the time.

I recently downloaded this pretty cool application for iPhone called “Awareness“. It says

The AWARENESS application is the first tool to use mobile technology to randomly intercept your daily routine, and prompt you to get in touch with what you are feeling; taking you out of your worries and bringing you to the present moment.

I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks now and it really does help me get in touch with the present moment and bring me back to “now” when I’m caught up in something negative. It gives you a pie-chart of your results over the last day/week/month so at a glance you can see how happy/sad etc you generally are. For $5 it’s a pretty cool tool.

Their list of features:

• A gentle reminder sound will intercept your routine, habitual thoughts and feelings throughout the day
• Avoids interrupting your iCal meetings
• Brief video clips guide you back to the present moment
• 400 inspirational quotes tied to what you are feeling
• Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly reports give you insight into which activities lead to specific feelings
• Reveals how you distract yourself from unpleasant feelings and how you can constructively free yourself from them
• Works with or without a network connection
• No advertisements
• All data is kept private and stored only on your iPhone
