About Me...

I am a very emotional person. I can be very happy and especially sad about a small thing. But I am always very good at finding solutions to make my bad moods go away quickly.

For this reason, I collected 40 days of my own daily emotional changes and categorized and analyzed these emotions. Through this project, I hope to let more people know that bad moods are not scary. Good moods can always overcome bad moods.

· Seven main areas affect my daily mood:

work, food, leisure and entertainment, people, my pet, sleep, and others. 

· My mood changes throughout the day; it contains five emotions:

excitement, happiness, fear, sadness, and anger.

· I developed different scores according to different emotions, and through this score, I calculated the positive and negative highs and lows of the total value of emotions in a day.

Research

In this data visualization, circles represent good moods and triangles represent bad moods.

Circles, with their smooth and continuous outline, are often perceived as soft, safe, and harmonious. This makes them associated with positive emotions and comfort. In contrast, triangles, especially those pointing upwards, can appear sharp, aggressive, or unstable, invoking a sense of conflict, tension, or alertness, which can be associated with negative emotions.
