Soul Get the app

Reflections now, and the patterns you confirm later.

You say what just happened and get one line back. What keeps returning becomes a pattern only when you say it fits.

The Returning screen in Soul, showing two themes under Worth keeping and two under Worth stopping.

Nothing fills the two minutes in the middle.

Therapy fills the weeks after. Friends fill some of it. The minutes while you are still in it belong to nobody.

What you said 0:27 · Tuesday

I said yes to covering Marta's shift again and I have been annoyed about it all afternoon. I do not know why I did not just say no.

+ 2s

You said yes before you had decided anything.

Tension

Wanting the shift covered without a row, and wanting the afternoon back.

Underneath

This may have landed as the asking being the hard part rather than the shift. Does that fit?

A question to sit with

What would you have needed in order to say you would come back to her?

Only if you ask
+ 2 min

It keeps what was offered and what you chose.

Both, always. The gap between them is the useful part.

Offered

Tell Marta you cannot do Saturday.

You chose

Ask Marta to swap rather than saying no outright.

+ 3 days

Then it asks how that went, once.

On the day you named, and never again after. Ignoring it is an answer and it counts too.

She swapped Saturday for Thursday Felt lighter
+ 11 weeks

What repeats gets sorted, and you get the say.

Where your own answers already told it how something went, that is the verdict. Where you have not said, it says so.

Two themes under Worth keeping and two under Worth stopping.
Sorted into worth keeping and worth stopping, over seventeen reflections.
One theme opened, showing the sentence and the two entries it came from.
Open one and the entries it came from are underneath it, dated.

It describes what happened. Never what you are.

A situation can change. A label follows somebody for years.

It says

  • You wrote the email and you didn't send it.
  • Three weeks is long enough to start writing a story about it.
  • Going quiet when you are not credited.

It never says

  • It sounds like you're feeling frustrated.
  • That must have been so difficult.
  • Conflict avoidant.

You can see all of it, and empty any of it.

It holds

  • Your words, as sent
  • What you decided, and what happened
  • Patterns you confirmed yourself
  • A first name, if you give one

It does not hold

  • The audio. Deleted the moment the words come back
  • A surname or a birthdate
  • Analytics or crash trackers
  • Anything it cannot show you the source of
The opening screen, headed What reflection actually is.
It says what it is before it asks for anything.
The capture screen, asking what just happened, with a text field and a microphone.
Speak it or type it. Both are the same path.
The week screen, showing ten moments and the themes they divide into.
The week you have had, counted from real entries only.

It is not therapy, and it is not somebody to talk to.

Thirty seconds, one line, and a question days later. That is the whole of it.
