Finding your fitter mind.

You Map builds on the study of interoception: How your brain turns bodily signals into emotions. The power of You Map lies in its distilled structure. In 60 seconds, you will:

Build self-awareness as a skill

Like any skill, small, daily, intentional practice creates lifelong ability.

Add structure to reflection

This structure shapes your new mental model, making all emotions useful.

Boost executive functioning

Engaging your frontal-cortex by default enables clear, coherent action.

Lower emotional reactivity

Clear, coherent action uses your emotions so they don’t use you.

How it works

You Map invites you to plot what you feel in this moment in two ways.

Map how pleasant you feel

The higher up you plot, the more pleasant the feeling.

Map how energetic you feel

The further right you plot, the higher the energy or intensity of the feeling.
