You can log your state of mind in the Journal app. The time you spend journaling can even be added automatically as mindful minutes in the Health app.
As you reflect on how you’re feeling, you can log your momentary emotions, and your state of mind is added to Health, where you can review its history over time. And the Health app can access your state of mind and mindful minutes, too, if you allow it.
