Harnessing the Power of the How We Feel App with Elliot, Your Relational Health Coach

In today’s fast-paced world, understanding and managing your emotions can feel like a daunting task. The How We Feel app offers an innovative and intuitive way to track and reflect on your emotional journey. When paired with personalized coaching like what I provide as Elliot, your Relational Health Coach, this tool becomes a transformative resource for building emotional resilience, enhancing relationships, and deepening self-awareness.

Let’s explore how you can leverage the How We Feel app with my coaching framework to thrive emotionally and relationally.

1. Understand the Purpose of Emotional Tracking

The How We Feel app allows you to:

• Track Emotions: Record how you feel throughout the day with just a few taps.
• Identify Patterns: Spot trends in your emotional landscape, understanding triggers and responses.
• Build Emotional Literacy: Expand your ability to articulate your emotions with nuanced language.

By bringing this data into our coaching sessions, we can uncover the "why" behind your feelings and strategize actionable ways to improve your emotional health.

2. Integrate CARE Check-Ins for Deeper Insights

The CARE Check-In Model (Connecting, Affirming, Reflecting, Empathizing) is a cornerstone of my coaching practice. Here’s how it works with the app:

• Connecting: Use your emotional entries from the app to connect with your true feelings. We’ll explore how these emotions influence your daily life and relationships.
• Affirming: Highlight positive patterns or moments of gratitude from the app’s data. We’ll affirm your progress and strengths.
• Reflecting: Dive into recurring themes or triggers noted in the app and discuss what they reveal about your needs and desires.
• Empathizing: Learn how to respond to yourself and others with compassion based on the app’s insights.

Together, we can craft strategies to respond to emotions constructively and nurture healthier connections.

3. Leverage Data for Tailored Coaching

One of the app’s greatest strengths is its ability to provide a snapshot of your emotional trends over time. In our sessions, I can:

• Analyze patterns to pinpoint stressors or recurring challenges.
• Help you correlate emotions with external factors (e.g., work, family, health).
• Use the data to set measurable goals for emotional growth and relational health.

Imagine using your app history to understand why Mondays feel overwhelming or why certain conversations spark anxiety. Together, we’ll turn insights into empowerment.

4. Emotional Journaling for Growth

Pairing the How We Feel app with emotional journaling deepens self-awareness. After tracking an emotion, I’ll provide journaling prompts tailored to your experiences, such as:

• "What thoughts or situations contributed to this feeling?"
• "What does this emotion reveal about my values or unmet needs?"
• "How can I respond to this feeling in a way that aligns with my goals?"

These reflections create space for healing, self-discovery, and spiritual alignment.

5. Set Relational Goals and Practices

Relationships often mirror our internal emotional states. With the app and coaching, we can:

• Identify how your emotions impact communication and intimacy.
• Practice the Emotional Intimacy Scale to enhance connections with loved ones.
• Use app trends to guide CARE-based exercises with your partner or family.

For example, if the app shows frequent frustration, we can explore ways to navigate conflict or express needs more effectively.

6. Bridge Faith and Emotional Wellness

For those integrating spirituality, the app’s insights offer a powerful way to align emotions with faith. Together, we can:

• Reflect on scripture or prayer that resonates with your emotional patterns.
• Explore how faith can provide grounding during challenging emotional seasons.
• Develop a rhythm of gratitude or spiritual reflection based on app data.

7. Build a Sustainable Emotional Wellness Plan

Consistency is key to emotional growth. By combining the app with my coaching:

• You’ll learn how to track emotions mindfully and without judgment.
• We’ll co-create routines, such as daily app check-ins and weekly coaching reviews.
• You’ll gain tools to manage emotions, build resilience, and thrive in relationships.
