TCM Baseline Assessment

Traditional Observational Methods

### Why Traditional Observational Awareness Matters

This assessment develops awareness of subtle changes in your physical and mental patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. This is not a diagnostic tool, but a method for enhancing self-awareness through systematic observation based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.

### How to Use This Assessment

1. Complete one section at a time - each takes 4-10 minutes
2. Answer based on your observations over the past week
3. Save each completed section to your device
4. Check off completed sections below to track your progress
5. View your pattern analysis when all sections are complete

Key Principle: This assessment uses a numerical system designed for your individual patterns, not to compare you with others. Think of these numbers as your personal "change detector" - during your first 3-4 weeks, you're establishing your baseline. The power lies in tracking your changes from your baseline, not in achieving any particular number.
