Drivers of Form - October 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 October:
October’s average score was 6.12, which is slightly lower compared to September.
The data below suggests that this is due to Stress, Health and Finances which brought our Form down and Connections, Travel and Kids, which boosted our form.

Drivers with the most impact on Form
Here, we look at the drivers with the most *trend, at each end of the mental health continuum; meaning that these drivers boosted or drained our form the most. (*Trend = direction of movement when the driver is selected.)
Connections, Travel and Kids had boosted our form the most. This is a reminder that spending time with loved ones and getting away from our usual routine and surroundings have the power to lift our form.
It’s worth noting that although Travel had a positive impact on our form, it was the least selected driver.
The data show that Stress Management, Health and Finances, brought our form down the most.
To better manage stress, try to prioritise breaks in the day that keep you well. Don't sacrifice those moments of recovery because of busy-ness. To improve our performance, we need to dedicate time for recovery first.
