SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “My basal thermometer feels less like a tool and more like a report card my body keeps failing”, including the private rule underneath it: If the line on the chart isn't the shape it's supposed to be, then I've failed something before the day has started. The thermometer isn't measuring my body—it's grading me, and I keep checking because I'm afraid of what I'll find if I…

“My basal thermometer feels less like a tool and more like a report card my body keeps failing” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “A dip in the line is information about timing, not a verdict handed to me at 6:15 in the morning.”
ACTIVE
“My basal thermometer feels less like a tool and more like a report card my body keeps failing” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample.

Notice what the urge to recheck feels like without acting on it.
DOMINANT
Right now, “My basal thermometer feels less like a tool and more like a report card my body keeps failing” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Tomorrow, log your temperature once, then close the app without opening the chart again for the rest of the day. Notice what the urge to recheck feels like without acting on it.
