I'd like a new feature: How do I tell you about it? 💁‍♀️

Share your feedback by following this link and you’ll get exclusive access to our #LifeForce community where you can talk directly with the Lifeing team, as well as other members, to share your wants and needs!

It’s like an on-demand app development service for your wellbeing. ;)

Not to mention the fact that you’ll be contributing to helping people’s lives around the planet. Let’s gooo! 👫

How is the world score calculated? 🌍

When we check-in with Lifeing’s emoji slider, the app will assign a score to our feeling from 1-100 (where 1 = very sad and 100 = very happy.

Then, it takes the average of everyone around the planet’s ‘feeling scores’ in the last 24h to create the Live Worldwide Feeling Score!

This number is important because, until now, we’ve never had a way to measure wellbeing. At least, not an easy one for us to use and certainly not one that we can all access.

Lifeing gives us all a chance for our feelings to be heard globally. By our friends, family, organisations and governments. So there’s no excuse for not doing what we need to help people’s wellbeing. 👌

Why do we use numbers to score feelings? 💁‍♀️

Numbers help us ground our feelings and contextualise them with how we’ve felt over time.

If I say I feel ‘good’ today, and I said I felt ‘good’ yesterday. It would be difficult to compare exactly how my feelings have changed. Lifeing uses a scale of 1-100 to help us get into the details of our feelings!

Does a higher score mean I'm doing 'better'? 😍

If by ‘better’ you mean ‘happier’ then yes!

If by ‘better’ you mean ‘more successful’ then not necessarily…

Sure, if your aim is to feel happier, then you would be successful in achieving that.

But, at Lifeing, we believe all feelings are equally valuable. From sadness to happiness and everything in between. Each one is important and has something to teach us!

Read the next question ‘Should I aim to score a higher number?’ to understand why!

Should I aim to score a higher number? 🤓

This is like saying ‘should I aim to be happier’?

Well, that’s a philosophical question! ✨

Some people believe in a life where happiness is the ultimate goal (it’s called ‘hedonism’). Other people believe in a life of purpose or ‘eudaimonia’.

We believe all feelings have a lot to teach us. By becoming aware of them, accepting them and learning from them, we’re able to find our way forward - no matter where that might lead!

The most important thing is that we’re not repressing things or bottling up our emotions. That’s when life gets confusing and potentially dangerous for our wellbeing. By listening to our hearts continuously, we are best able to live our lives true to who we are. 🥰

Why does 'lifeing' exist? 😇

We believe our wellbeing is the most important thing in life.

Without a simple way to measure it and track changes over time, it’s hard to figure out what we need: both as individuals and as a society!

Lifeing helps us measure our feelings continuously in order to understand our wellbeing. This helps us make more informed decisions when it comes to taking care of and improving our wellbeing. And, last but not least, it lets us do this TOGETHER as a community which encourages us more than trying to do it all on our own.

Can I delete my data for good? ❌

Yes. Currently, we do not have this feature available in-app. However, if you email us on hello@howmental.com we will delete and confirm deletion with you ASAP.
