37 Fun Bullet Journal Mood Trackers That Will Make You Feel Better

A collection of bullet journal mood trackers that will make mental health self-reporting a fun thing to do

How’s your day going?

Are you having a nice day or a bad day? What makes you feel good/bad? If you have a mood swing, what is causing it?

These may be the questions we ask ourselves every now and then. But if we keep a daily record of our feelings, we may be able to find the pattern of our emotional changes and thus do more of what brings us joy.

That’s why keeping a mood tracker can help significantly for our mental health and mindfulness. With a bullet journal mood tracker, we have the data to cross-reference with diet, exercise, medication and other factors in life.

Before I had my first bullet journal, Excel sheets were what I used to jot down my mood every day. And I still sometimes track my habits in the same way. But I find having a visual mood tracker bullet journal is so much more fun! Filling in the monthly page with different colors is almost addictive. If you are like me, you are going to love these cute and creative bullet journal mood tracker ideas!

Bullet journal mood trackers or a mood diary can help us to identify our emotional triggers and patterns, thus help improve our mental health.

Here are reasons to start tracking your mood:

• Find out what triggers good/bad feelings

There are so many things that may have an impact on our emotions: food, exercise, social connections, menstrual cycle… With a mood tracker, we don’t need to guess or speculate anymore.

It makes it easier for us to cross-reference with other circumstances in life, thus help us to identify our “mood triggers.”

Am I feeling bad because of the lack of sleep? Does a cup of morning coffee help to boost my mood for the day? Finding what lifts us up and what brings us down, and make your “happy list” part of your self-care routine.

• Stop self-blaming

Depression and anxiety are sometimes mistaken as weakness. And we may somehow blame ourselves for feeling bad.

Developing a habit of mood charting can help us to be mindful of our emotions in a non-judgemental way.

However bad a bad day could be, it is merely a blue block on the journal that won’t last forever. And tomorrow is a new day, a new beginning and a new you.

• Gain back control over mental wellbeing

We can choose to be a victim of our emotions or an active participant in our mental wellbeing. And filling that block on our mood tracker is our first step of this positive and empowering change of mindset.

• It helps the professionals to help us

If you are working with a therapist or a doctor with mental illness, a mood tracker can help them to spot problems and see progress.

According to The Center for Quality Assessment and Improvement in Mental Health, documenting daily mood was found to able to help clients and therapists to develop a more involved and collaborative alliance.

“Thoughts are like drops of water: with our thoughts, we can drown in a sea of negativity, or we can float on the ocean of life.” I am a believer in this Louis Hay quote. And this simple mood tracker spread totally captures its essence. Even you don’t need crazy drawing skills to make your mood tracker visually appealing.

Using mood phases to represent different moods is such a brilliant idea. If you are a minimalist bullet-journalist, this is how you can keep track of your emotions using simply a black pen and a bujo.

This is the mood tracker I created last October. It is fun and easy to keep track of my feelings using leaves. Color them in different colors if you want to add some fall vibes to your journal!
