Mood Meter

The mood meter is a graph that measures energy level and pleasantness. The meter uses different colors to represent the emotions:

Emotions that are middle to high energy fall into the yellow and red zones. Red emotions feel unpleasant but can be powerful while yellow are pleasent feeling emotions.
Emotions in the green and blue zones hold middle and low levels of energy. Green emotions are pleasant feeling. Blue emotions tend to feel unpleasent and make us feel vulnerable. These emotions are most often avoided or denied.
