This project explores mood management by identifying and mitigating upset triggers in daily life. By hypothesizing that reducing reactions to specific situations can lead to less anxiety and anger, we developed a smartphone app to track emotional responses. Over 33 weeks, we collected 723 entries, examining triggers such as interactions with a spouse or coworker. Our analysis revealed that upset intensity may correlate with the proximity to other negative experiences. This research aims to provide actionable strategies for emotional resilience and wellbeing.
