Purpose of Kanjou+
Kanjou+ is an app designed to help you understand emotional changes and improve emotional control skills through four emotions (joy, anger, sadness, pleasure) and four mental states (relaxation, tension, fatigue, energy).
A Friend's Story That Inspired Us
This is a story I heard from a friend.
My friend had severe shoulder stiffness and went for a massage.
A famous massage therapist treated him.
The therapist said the shoulder stiffness would be resolved, but pain would likely appear elsewhere next.
Pain signals appear in the most painful part of the body.
When that pain subsides, the next most painful area begins to hurt.
Just as the therapist predicted, when the shoulder stiffness was resolved, his back started hurting.
And when the back pain subsided, the next painful area would hurt if there was one.
Insight About Emotions
Hearing this story, I thought emotions might work the same way.
Even when anger is high, there are probably still some feelings of pleasure or joy.
Therefore, this app is designed so that all four emotions together make up 100% of your emotional state.
Simple Usage
Simply select values from 0-10 for each of the four emotions.
Don't overthink it - input values intuitively.
Enter the four emotions and use the provided journal space.
On the results screen, reflect on the results and record reasons for dominant emotions.
Facing Your Emotions
Increase opportunities to face your emotions and experience your emotional changes.
Record daily emotional changes, understand how emotions change when people say things to you, and learn how to control those emotions effectively.
