Drivers of Form - June 2021
Every month, we dedicate time to reflect on how the FormScore community feels, what the main drivers are, and think of ways to support you.
Here is what we observed in June: The overall average score was 6.59, which is slightly lower than May (by -0.05). The report below suggests that the average score is due to Travel, Exercise and Weather, which brought our form up. It’s also due to Stress, Finances and Work, which brought our form down.
As the weather gets better, we spend more time outdoors, exercising, and traveling even if it’s mostly within the country. The data shows that spending more time in nature, enjoying the weather and exercising are good for our mental health.
It’s positive to see a +0.03 change across Stress, Work and Sleep. Even though all 3 drivers were logged as negative drivers, their impact was less negative compared to May.

Drivers with the most impact on Form
Here, we look at the drivers with the biggest positive impact on our Form.
Exercise continues to be the top 3 drivers that have a positive impact on our form for the fourth consecutive month.
This is a reminder that exercise has the power to lift our form and and help us feel better. So next time you feel low, why not put your trainers on, spend time in nature? Better yet, why no exercise with a friend?
As the world starts to open up slowly, we see that Travel has a big positive impact on our form, however, it’s worth noting it was the least selected driver.
When it comes to drivers that had the most negative impact on our Form:
Stress management continues to have the most negative impact on our Form for the fourth consecutive month. This is followed by Finances and Work. (It’s worth noting that Finances (along with Travel) were the least selected drivers.)
