Complete a Self-Evaluation

Understanding and sharing how you feel is an important part of personal growth. Octapp makes this process simple and meaningful through our Reflections feature, allowing you to track your emotional well-being and share it with those supporting your journey.

Quick Reflection Interface

Understanding Reflections​

Reflections in Octapp help you check in with yourself across three important dimensions of well-being:

Mood: How are you feeling emotionally? This might range from down or frustrated to happy and content.

Energy Level: How energetic do you feel? This could vary from tired and drained to energized and ready for anything.

Stress Level: How much pressure are you feeling? This scale spans from calm and relaxed to overwhelmed or tense.

Quick Reflections​

The Quick Reflection feature makes emotional check-ins effortless:

  • Simply slide the indicator to match how you're feeling
  • Each aspect (mood, energy, stress) can be adjusted independently
  • You can update just one or all three - it's up to you
  • Add a brief note if you'd like to provide context
  • Tap "Save Reflection" when you're satisfied

Full Form Reflections​

When you want to share more detail about your state of mind:

  • Tap "Full Form" in the top right
  • Adjust all three sliders thoughtfully
  • Add detailed notes about what's influencing your current state
  • Connect your reflection to specific goals or events
  • Share additional context with your support network

Sharing Your Journey​

Your reflections create a bridge of understanding with your support network:

  • Counselors can see your emotional patterns over time
  • Support team members can offer encouragement and guidance
  • Regular check-ins help others understand when you might need extra support
  • Comments and responses create meaningful dialogue about your well-being

Tracking Your Progress​

Your reflection history tells the story of your journey:

  • Access past reflections through the Settings page
  • Notice patterns in your emotional well-being
  • Identify what activities or situations impact you positively
  • Use insights to make informed decisions about your goals and actions

Making Reflections Work for You​

Everyone's emotional journey is unique. Here are some ways to make the most of reflections:

Choose Your Timing:

  • Some people reflect at the same time each day
  • Others check in when they notice significant mood changes
  • You might reflect before or after important events
  • Coming soon: Set personal reminders for regular check-ins

Be Honest:

  • There are no "wrong" feelings
  • Your authentic experience matters
  • Small changes are just as important as big ones
  • Every reflection helps build self-awareness

Benefits of Regular Reflection​

Consistent self-evaluation helps in many ways:

  • Builds emotional awareness
  • Strengthens communication with your support network
  • Helps identify patterns in your well-being
  • Supports better decision-making
  • Earns rewards you can use to customize your Octapp experience

Tips for Meaningful Reflection​

Consider these approaches to deepen your practice:

  • Take a moment to center yourself before reflecting
  • Notice how your body feels as you consider each dimension
  • Think about what's influenced your state since your last check-in
  • Use the optional notes to capture important context
  • Review your history periodically to notice patterns

Remember, reflection is a personal practice. Whether you check in multiple times a day or just occasionally, your insights contribute to your growth and help those supporting you understand how best to help.
