Congratulations on making the decision to strive for personal improvement, self awareness, and growth. The NERD FAMM is an opportunity to understand the connection between your choices and your mental health. The Next Excellent Right Decision (NERD) and the Feel Awesomer Mood Meter (FAMM) are very basic assessments, but do offer an insight into your decisions and choices in a day (The NERD) and a brief overview of your present mental health (The FAMM). For more information about what the NERD and FAMM include learn more about health enhancing behaviors here.

Everyone is welcome to participate (if you have concerns about your ability to do this talk to a doctor before doing any exercise or changing any behaviors). You just need to be willing to be honest, strive for improvement, and have some fun growing as a person! Here is how you can participate, it is completely voluntary, there is absolutely no commitment and feel free to engage as much as you like. This is for you
