Some days I don't get round to even reading the blog, much less taking the test. I've noticed that this correlates with life going well for me, and with being really busy doing other, outward-looking things.

This morning, however, I had a tricky meeting, and it didn't go as I'd have hoped. I came away feeling stirred up, angry, self-critical and indignant. Having had a loud, full-effort sob in the smallest room (usually my place of choice for letting off emotional steam), I looked at my emails and went for the one from Moodscope. And I've just done my test.

And what I noticed THIS time is how those questions helped me consider, with focus and calmness, what I REALLY felt. And the result was that I wasn't as angry, nor as self-critical, and my indignation had softened to an acknowledgement that other people's feelings are theirs to process.

My score wasn't down massively on last time; I feel calmer, and I know I can cope with what lies ahead.

Thank you, Moodscope.
