Moods What single words describe my moods (angry, depressed, anxious, hurt, jealous, envious, shameful...)? Behaviours What things do I do that I would like to change or improve? At work? At Home? with friends? By myself? Do I avoid situations or people when it might be to my advantage to be involved?
