Life Compass Reflection

The life compass is an activity in which an analysis is made of how you feel on a day on a scale of 1 to 3 and taking into account some types of aspects. The aspects or areas that were analyzed were: awareness, emotional, mental and physical. You start by drawing a spiral, then place the 4 categories around the spiral and through an analysis that was done in a few minutes, you could get the scores of your mood or how you felt on that day. At the end, all the scores were added and you could measure your mood with your score and with the maximum you could get, 12 points. In addition, keywords were written in each category and a small reflection of the score or your mood was written.

 

My average score for this exercise was 7 out of 12, which I consider a good score and were days in which I felt in a regular or calm state. The maximum score, which I had for 2 consecutive life compasses, was 10 out of 12. They were days where I felt relaxed, had almost no worries and almost perfect days. On the other hand, the lowest score I got was a 5 out of 12 where it was a very busy day, with a lot of problems and I did not feel good physically. In total, I was able to make 24 life compasses. I think that this type of activity helps to assess your mood and see if you are well physically and mentally. It serves as a reminder that you had bad or good days and they can help you to feel better with the notes or the reflections that you made in the journal.
