What is a mood tracker?
A mood tracker is a log used to track your mood daily or several times a day. The mood is represented by different colors, emojis, or different patterns. With a mood tracker, you can see clearly how your feelings change within a week, a month, or a year.
It helps people with mental health conditions to identify the trigger of mood shifts, depression, or anxiety. That’s why therapists and psychologists rave about mood trackers. But now, it has become a tool to boost awareness of one’s mental wellbeing. Whether it’s a page on a bullet journal, a printed mood tracker template, a digital spreadsheet, or a mood tracking app, documenting your feelings helps you have a clear clue of your mental health.
Do I need a mood tracker? 3 reasons to tracker your mood
People use mood trackers for various reasons. And here are some common purposes of using mood trackers:
- To have a clear idea of your good day/bad day ratio.
When you track your mood for a month or a year, you can see at a glance the number of days you feel good or bad. If you feel overwhelmed on a particular day, you can look back and be reminded of the positive days you had.
- To identify your emotional triggers.
Sometimes certain events can trigger strong emotions. Mood tracking can help you find those triggers and to deal with them better.
For example, you may find that Tuesday is not a good day for you. As you dig deeper, you may find that weekly meetings on Tuesday put tremendous pressure on you. With that in mind, you can be mentally prepared for the worst-case scenario before going into the meeting. It will allow you to face the unexpected with ease.
- To find relevance with other factors.
Hormones, weather, sleep hours, and hydration all contribute to the changes in your mood. By keeping a mood tracker or a mood log, you can cross-reference other potential factors.
For example, if you keep track of your mood and your exercise, you may find a positive correlation between the two. If so, you can increase your workout days to boost your mood.
Tips on how to use mood tracker for best results
Keeping a mood log is more than coloring a slot every day. It is a habit that takes time to build. And consistency is key. So here are some tips on how to use mood trackers to improve your mental health:
- Start small and simple
Some mood trackers allow you to track detailed emotions like joyful, calm, excited, optimistic… However, these many keys can be overwhelming. That’s why it’s better to start with 3 to 5 types of feelings instead of overcomplicating the record.
- Switch things up and have fun
Documenting your mood should not be a chore. If the process starts to bore you, trying new templates. Or draw your own tracker on a bullet journal. It will make tracking your mood fun and fulfilling. And it’s super satisfying to see a black-and-white page come to life bit by bit every day.
- Review your mood shifts regularly
If you want to find out what messes up your mood and what makes you feel happy, it’s important to review your entry regularly. You may also find a pattern when compare your mood log to your sleep log or your journal.
