So far, you've learned that Bloom helps people create and revise individualized programs for spiritual exercise. Bloom also supports people in doing their spiritual exercise programs by sending them daily e-mail reminders about their practice items for each day.
The Practice Records area of Bloom assists people in bringing extra consciousness to their spiritual exercise program by allowing them to easily create and review records of its results. This can be as simple as checking off Do items you did and Don't items you successfully avoided. In addition, you can give yourself a score, reflect on your experience and write in your spiritual journal, and even get feedback from friends or a mentor.
All of these records are made and accessed in Bloom's Practice Records area. Practitioners can go there by clicking the green "Practice Records" tab above the Bloom banner. The Practice Records area has three main pages, each accessed by a tab on the Practice Records navigation palette.
Mark items done & write in journal
You can MARK ITEMS DONE the day you did them, or up to six days afterwards. Use the weekday tabs to record your results on days other than today.
If you wish, you can also score your performance, from 1 to 5. Scoring yourself is OPTIONAL.

Click "Save" on each item you mark done or give a score BEFORE you write or edit journal entries, go to another page, or leave Bloom.

You can WRITE A JOURNAL ENTRY for any item, either on the day you did it, or up to six days afterwards. So you can record multiple practices of one item on any given day, or send different observations to different people for feedback, Bloom allows you to write as many entries about an item as you wish. Of course, writing a journal entry is always OPTIONAL.

When you save your journal entry for an item, Bloom automatically marks the item done.

Practitioners with feedback can send any journal entry to a buddy or mentor to REQUEST FEEDBACK. This can be done when you write the journal entry, or any time afterwards. You can even edit a journal entry later and re-request feedback, if you like. YOU decide, on a case by case basis, whether to request feedback for an item, and from whom to request feedback. Requesting feedback is OPTIONAL.
For your convenience, Bloom maintains a list of JOURNAL ENTRIES WRITTEN TODAY at the bottom of the "Mark items done & write in journal" page. But once you have written a journal entry, you can always find it in your list of past journal entries (described below).
Print current program. When you click the "Print current program" tab beside the weekday tabs, you have the option of printing your program in Bloom's standard formats. The Program Details format lists the items you selected with their descriptions and any personalization you have added. The Program Calendar format is a one-week listing of your items grouped by day.

Your current program is your program in effect TODAY. This printout will not reflect program changes, if any, that you completed today. They will go into effect tomorrow.

Read & edit past journal items
On the "Read & edit past journal items" page, you can find any journal entry you have written, and then read, edit, print, or delete it. Find the journal entry you are interested in by sorting your list in the most appropriate order and then navigating to the desired item.
Although practitioners with feedback can check on the feedback status of any journal entry by checking the icons shown in the listing on this page, you cannot read, edit, reply to, send, unsend, or delete feedback messages from this page. Go to the "Feedback requests & replies" page for that purpose.
Feedback requests & replies
Feedback functions are described in the Giving and Receiving Feedback chapter of the User's Manual.
