Minute Mood is an app that I developed to help my wife and I communicate on a deeper level. We have demanding jobs, we had lots of kids, and the time it takes to communicate on a deeper level was just not available. We were too tired to talk.
To keep us from drifting apart or even get resentful toward one another, I wanted to keep the lines of communication open. Especially if we’re extra stressed, or upset with each other, this was a way to reconnect without even sitting down to talk. Now I hope this app actually makes sitting down to talk easier, but Minute Mood helps you & your partner communicate how you’re feeling without saying a single word.
By taking a minute to journal what it is like at the toughest part of your day, you get the many benefits of journaling, and your partner gets insight into what you are feeling. This is an opportunity to show acceptance, understanding, and kindness to your partner later that day. Feeling understood by your partner lets you know you’re cared for, not alone, and you know your partner is taking the time to think about you and what you are saying instead of just immediately responding.
