How to log your state of mind on Apple Watch

You can reflect on how you’re feeling and log your momentary emotions and daily moods to keep track of your mental wellbeing.

You can log a momentary emotion or a daily mood, and pick words that describe how you’re feeling and what’s having the biggest impact on you. Over time, your state of mind history shows how your feelings may correlate with lifestyle factors, like sleep, exercise, time spent in daylight, and mindful minutes.

Here’s how to log your state of mind on Apple Watch.
