Aventurine

A personal, easy-to-use tool to improve your mood and thinking.

Aventurine supports CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) recording and analysis.

It is quick and easy to use with reflective practices that complement mindfulness training and self-improvement exercises.

In regular use, the app can help you improve your mood and the way you respond to life's challenges.

With this app you can:

+ Record experiences easily and quickly. Just a few words and three quick swipes is all it takes.

+ Consider positive as well as negative experiences.

+ See your experiences and the strength of your reactions build up, day-by-day.

+ See the patterns of your moods month-by-month in the calendar.

+ Explore each experience in more detail: all at once, or bit-by-bit, whichever is best for you.

+ Build understanding with help from the thought style descriptions.

+ Decide how you can better respond to similar events in the future.

+ Try the 'antidotes' suggested for each thought style or make up your own.

+ Make commitments to yourself.

+ Archive and restore experiences to focus and prioritise your practice.

+ Share headline descriptions of your experiences with friends and supporters.

+ Use the reminder feature to prompt regular review to deepen your self-awareness and understanding.

Aventurine takes its name from a 'mood' stone which is claimed to quell anxiety and balance the emotions. Use it to better understand yourself and to identify more positive and flexible ways to think and act.
