This is the blog for Mood Apps, a mobile app development company dedicated to developing apps that support mood management, and more specifically for their Android app Mood Sentry. Mood Sentry is designed to support people in therapy for mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Mood Sentry (www.moodsentry.com) supports a cognitive therapy approach to mood management.

Got a major thing off my plate this evening
I'm a volunteer webmaster for a local environmental group, and just pushed a major update to the website out. You guessed it, forecasts of ridicule for having a poorly designed site, multiple people telling me it doesn't work with their browser, lots and lots of typos, and lots of suggestion for how I can make it better. Of course all these will lead to lost free time and I'll be a failure. My self talk is based on past experience, which means very few if any people will contact me about stuff that's not working or suggesting how it can be better. I know there probably are a few mistakes, and in fact I already found and fixed one. However, there are a lot of good things in the site. We have a more dynamic home page, the site was simplified, it has a better layout, and we got away from a frame based layout. Pushing my thoughts to the stuff that's good helps defeat negative thoughts. There's one more thing I've done that has been helping with events like this. I simply remind myself that I am not the website. That one thought has helped me recently in similar situations. I need to capture that in my app.
