- ✚ Hello friends! Mood trackers are super popular in the bullet journal community. In this video, I have separated mood trackers into three main categories, and I'll talk a bit about a few different ways to track your mood within each category. I'll also try to answer the most important question: are mood trackers really that helpful?
✚ Still haven't figured out the glitch problem haha.

I'm bipolar and my Doctor Said i need a Calendar to Show my moods and it's pretty cool
I've heard mood trackers are great for people with bipolar disorder and other mental health issues that affects your mood :) I hope it helps you!
@@mochibujo it really helps me and it's fun to draw them they are really cool and i'm happy my Doctor Said i need one ✨

i have anxiety and depression, so its really helpful for me to have a record of my overall feelings. for mood tracking i find that a coloring book style really works for me in that i can easily see overall trends and the actually act of filling it out and thinking about my moods feels therapeutic. i totally agree with you about needing more than one color per day tho, and i find that my most successful mood trackers have allowed for multiple moods per day while not being so complicated i cant summon the energy to fill them out.
for example, last october my mood tracker was a page of pumpkins, and i would color them according to my most prevalent moods during the day: bright yellow highlights for happy moments, green spots where it was just ok, brown spots for bouts of depression, etc. i also combine this with regular journaling so i have a space to share more complex thoughts. i definitely want to try out mood lettering in the future tho!
This is a very interesting way to do it! It's really cool that we can have so many different ways to track our mood I think. It seems like the way you did it with the pumpkins allowed you to really think about your emotions that day, so I can see how it was therapeutic. I hope you can beat your depression one day, Teddy!
A few years ago I was having serious depression and using mood trackers in my journal. I often used more than one color a day. I usually did a line spread a day as well. Plus I often had some type of gratitude page or affirmations page. These things definitely helped my mental health improve over time.
I agree with the year in pixels thing, I tried it to help keep track of my mental health, but it became more annoying than helpful by the end.
You look amazing btw 😘
Aaaww that’s a huge compliment coming from the most gorgeous med student in the world 🙈❤️
I know this is an older video, but thank you for making it.
I also found myself struggling against the limitations of the mood trackers I've seen online. The example you used, while extreme has, in a way, happened to me. I had a lovely day, where I got to go to a concert, be with my friend, I even conquered a fear of mine (heights) etc. But when driving home from the concert (7PM), we got the news that a relative of mine passed away. Another example, I was celebrating my birthday when we got the news that the current situation had gotten so bad, that we were being issued a Stay at Home order.
Mood is complicated, and I thank you for taking the time to balance between that complexity and still having a tracker that it manageable to fill out. It will help me in my journey as a bullet journal-er. Have a lovely day! :D
I’m so sorry you had to experience those things, it must’ve been hard. I am really happy you enjoyed the video though, and I’m glad I was able to deliver my message in a way that was easy to understand!❤️
I'm feeling so down right now I'm actually considering using moodtrackers... idk whats going in with me, I swear, uni is hard
I think everyone is feeling a little down at the moment. And yes, uni IS hard! Be kind to yourself, and don’t expect your productivity to be as high as normal in these abnormal times ❤️
Says the person that has pancakes as their pfp
@@xfloz0614 they are not pancakes, they are handmade bread
Super useful ideas, definitely something for thought. I've always felt the one colour designs were hard to work around and ended up colouring in multiple colours in one box and it would just look messy lol
10:19 has the best and easiest mood trackers in my opinion and I think that they are awsome
I use a combined sleep and mood tracker with the days of the month on the y-axis and the hours of the day on the x-axis. My mood ranges from very sad - sad - happy - slightly angry - angry - furious. By different colours I can identify precisely when I was in which mood and even for how long that stayed. For example I can draw a thin line to indicate five minutes of anger at ten am or a three-hour-block of happines because I had tea and talk with a friend... And on the opposite page I write down shortly the cause.
I love the last idea for mood and the graph line for another tracker
I’m happy you like them!☺️
I think I'll try the one line a day method. I experience many different moods in a day (sometimes in an hour 😂)
I love the different ideas. I do like the simplistic 1 color tracker only bc I don't have a lot of time but want to track my general moods. I love the last one but sometimes I just don't have the words lol. I think it depends on the person and what's needed in their life. Thanks for the video!
It definitely depends on the person!:) I'm happy you've found a system that works for you
I never got why people limited themselves to one color in the first place. 🙈 Especially monthly trackers like the second one you showed have tons of space to use multiple colors. I always did it this way cause it made the most sense to me. xD
That's interesting! So you separate each "day" into several sections so that you have the opportunity to fill in more than one color then?
@@mochibujo Yeah, exactly. So sometimes I'd fill in up to three, four or five different colors each day. I mean, for someone that literally always feels tired, it would've been an easy excuse to just make myself color in each day with the color for "tired" and say that I'm done. lol Instead, I forced myself to actually think and reflect more on my feelings that way.
I was thinking, for the second tracker, splitting each segment into halves, or even thirds. Filling it in once at midday, and again before bed, or the next morning. For the secondary mood like you said.
Oh... I just picked up my first mood journal to help with my therapy work and didn't realize the pixels and month wheels were one color. I was filling them up like stacked bar charts LOL. 50% content, 10% anxious, 2% angry, 18% hurt, 20% exhausted. Especially if your wheel boxes are long, it's not hard to approximate I think.
I looked up this video because it came with no instructions but maybe it's ok that it didn't, because I could decide a method that worked for me! 😊
I like the simplest yearly tracker because then I can see the entire year at once. I'm not a fan of having to flip through and look at each month individually. I also track my periods in a yearly spread, so I can compare my mood tracker to my period tracker and see how my cycle influences my mood. I put more than one mood per day though and will cut boxes in half diagonally to account for that. But I also journal almost daily, separate from my bullet journal, so I could always find a weird mood pattern in my tracker and head over to my journal to find out what happened to cause it.
Tha k you for this video. I am just starting out and you provided some many layouts and things to consider when I pick a tracker.
Being honest, you're right, personally I like mood trackers because it look nice, and could take a lot of time and sometimes I don't even fill all the spaces or I make it up hahaha but I like to put time doing it and personally it helps me not to register my mood but rather how I was the day, I like to write down options such as "motivated", "lazy", "tired", etc.
I completely agree with you! When I first started tracking my mood in my journal, I almost always used colors. I found that that was just too much of a hassle for me too since sometimes I don’t have my markers with me. What worked for me in the end is the graph tracker of my mood, with colors of the mood on the left (happy, okay, sad, angry/tired, depressed) and the dots on the right. With this, all I have to do is connect the dots. I do daily journaling so it’s alright for me not to see the reason why I felt a certain emotion on a certain day; I can just refer to my daily entries. I also love how I can use multiple dots in one day when I have multiple moods!
I have chosen the last Mood Tracker for my January 2021 spread and I can’t wait to fill it out! I think now knowing that I can have more than one mood a day is helping me keep on track. As you said it was always more aesthetic rather than showing real emotion.
Please do a Habit tracker video! Love your ideas 🌟✨
Hi! Thank you!❤️ I will definitely consider it, thanks for the idea!☺️

For mood trackers, I find it best to trac my mood in the same pattern you would eat.
In the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. Specifically what mood am I in when I wake up, what mood am I in around noon, and what mood am I in when I go to sleep. I use a graph tracker with the different lines representing the different times. At one point I also added a line for how I feel starting the work day and ending the work day. But because my schedule fluctuates, so I made a chart under the graph. Since I have a long bus ride for my commute, journaling during this time is rather nice, but I can imagine that if you drive to and fro. You would be more concerned with getting to work or getting home then you would be focusing on your emotions.
Thanks for these wonderful overview about the differnt types of mood trackers!
I never really saw the point of mood trackers because they seemed so simplistic. What you say makes a lot of sense. I will probably try one or two of your more detailed ones.
i have to check in with my moods five times a day and the way they fluctuate----wooh
I think one-color trackers or other simple trackers are neat if you’re just looking to log a daily thing. If it makes you happy, go for it. However, if your goal is to find patterns in your moods and achieve more self-awareness, those aren’t the way to go. Mood trackers may be really handy to notice patterns spaced out over time that you wouldn’t notice otherwise, or just things you don’t pay much attention to. You’ll need to be able to make connections between occurrences and moods, if you want to get actual info from it. Like if you took your meds late or started new ones, what the weather was like, how much you slept, etc. Otherwise, with color-a-day, you get little to no useful info.
Thank you for this video! This is really helpful🫶🏼 I like graph trackers so much:)
I love one line a day tracker
love this video! super helpful insight, thank you!
I’m happy you enjoyed it!☺️
Hi! I know this is an old video but it was really helpful. I feel the same about one day color trackers. Honestly, it doesn't give you much room for explanation. And as someone who doesn't journal consistently I think I need something a little more. So, I was thinking of combining the one line a day and the word a month tracker, so the last two. I think it would be interesting that way I can use the categories as well as a few words to describe. Cause while the one line a day is great I think it needs an extra element that the last tracker had. Thanks again! Great video!
I think I need a mood tracker for each hour. Think I'll try that with a planner page that is meant for appointments. 😉 My favorite trackers of those you showed was the one line a day. I need to know why I was anxious. Thank you for some great ideas!
What I'm doing this year is a combo of the bar, and one line a day. I added a bar tracker with my sleep tracker and on the next page i added a little section to kinda say how i feel if its a few lines or just a word or two. I feel like this is going to help
Very helpful Information. Thanks for sharing your content 😊
Very helpful ❤
I have noticed that I have tendencies of prolonged mood sets, like, my mood doesn't actually correlate with what is happening. so I was thinking that trying colour per day might be a good idea though never saw them useful earlier too. Now thanks to you I have got an idea with graphic that combines my actual mood and line for "how I could react based on my memories of myself". Plus maybe short two lines journal with explanation what was or should have influenced my mood for each day.
4:54 yep cause my mood always changes, my teachers manage to make my mood happy to sad every single day.
This helped so much so I can see what I need like if a need mirror self care 😄
gee I didnt realize that mood trackers were only for certain people and certain situations. I just recently started using one its s simple tracker and for me it simply reminds me of what kind of mood I am in each day. with covid changing our lifestyles it sometimes helps to track our moods. as for changing moods each day, I do not go to my journal several times a day. if I am drawing in it I do it all in the morning that is when I record my feelings my blood pressure ect. I don't find it necessary to go back and change things through out the day. if I concentrated on my mood that much I would be depressed most of the time. there are so many other things to do and think of.
i use the year in pixels format because of how condensed it is and still split my days into different colors if there's a big mood shift (bad morning turning into a great afternoon/evening etc) I have a few days where a singe square has 3 stripes of color because the mood shift was important to note. So, they don't necessarily need to stay "single color spreads." ;)
I keep my colors the same year round and put little notes for depressed vs anxious on bad days, or tired vs low for another color, etc. Then, i pair my monthly habit tracker with my dailies and make sure to write about why i feel like crap on bad days for future reference. I also end up cross-ref'ing with my monthly calendar page as well - for example, when trying to figure why i'm exhausted over the couple days following a stressful appointment or couple long shifts at work.
What I do for my mood tracker is a bar for every day of the month, it sepresents the day from the morning to the night. I fill sections of it with diferent colors that represent diferent emotions.
OMG I CAN DO THIS SAME MARKERS YAYYYYY
You earned a subscription from me, because we have alot of the same thoughts regarding moodtrackers. I just started my very first Bullet Journal and was browsing YT for tracker videos and came across this one. Instead of using a moodtracker, im gna use a stress tracker (date, cause, solution) and an "Angry meter" for all sorts of negative emotions with the same parameters, i might also go for a "happy meter" but im not sure about that. Great video, i like the way you think
Your stress tracker idea sounds great! It’s similar to a type of tracker my therapist suggested for me in the past, where you identify the trigger, the feeling/negative thought (reaction), reflect on why, and also reconsider the thought/how can I think about the event in a different way. It’s always good to be solution oriented!☺️ I’m so happy you enjoyed the video, and thank you for subscribing💕
@@mochibujo thank you, as mentioned I've been browsing yt for inspiration and it was actually "stationary island" who mentioned it 😊
I've recently seen a variant of the "one-color-a-day" tracker, where you can do a gradient of colors in the area for the color - so similar to your mood range line graph, you can do a gradient between the color that represents the worst you felt that day and the color that represents the best you felt.
I'm also a fan of combining this with a word, such as coloring in a bad mood color and writing "exhausted" next to it.
I also use the line and bar graphs during my dailies to track my mood as it relates to stress and energy throughout the day, so I can cross reference those when filling out and analyzing my month view mood tracker.
Thanks for your input! There are so many ways to do a mood tracker, and in the end it all comes down to what works for you personally :)
I draw out a grid. With the y axis representing different days of the month and the x axis representing different emotions and in each square I write a letter representing the time of day. W-waking e-early day l-later day b-bedtime... I write them small enough so if I feel that emotion more than one time a day I can write more than one letter
Thank you so much for sharing! That's a good way to do it, I'm sure :)
Thanks for the video! Found it really helpful :).
I just tried out a new mood tracker this month where I decide on one major mood for the day and next to it have a space to fill in several more moods i was in that day - that really seems to work for me. And I do write down some lines about what happend each day in addition to that.
Hilsen fra Tyskland :)
I'm so happy to hear that you've found a mood tracker that works for you! It really is all about experimentation until you find the "perfect" method :)
I thought after 1,5 years of bulletjournaling I knew all kinds of Mood trackers but I didn't and I'm in love with the one in the weeklys and with the last one, where you write a coloured word 😃
The spread ideas and methods never ends! :D
@@mochibujo yes, you're so right, dear!
Lol the Utah mug in the beginning
Lol is it that funny?😅 That’s my favorite mug🙈
I like that you showed a few ways to do multiple moods per day. I'd like to see more of those. I have many moods in a day and if I sum up, I'll probably look bipolar
Hahaha yeah I'm the same!
I liked the last one the best. However, I do plan on making a dotted graph.
Her, calling us out because on how our day went ...
Me-
😯😭😦
Dang why she have to put us on the spot like that😕 lol
9:15 Last night (after a week of ggrr) I was out shopping with my elderly mother & I found a ruler with a cork underside
9:26
(self remeinder)
To answer your question you can put half the first colour (the first event good or bad) then the other half for example the example u put u kissed ur crush u would put the feeling you would put the colour you put happy as and then the other half would be the one you put represents sad
Hey ! For the second one, I personaly cut my case in two :) That’s how I use it in my bujo and it works good for me ! Sky has no limit, you know ! That’s not because you only have one case, that you can’t put more colors on it 🤷🏼♀️ It’s so sad, I can’t show you my personal bujo in this comment, no picture’s option.
Have a nice day ✨
I get what you mean! My friend does the same thing ☺️
Hi! I love your videos, I find them very relaxing when I am stressed. I was just wondering what size fineliners you use? 🙃
Hi! I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying my videos :) I actually use a bunch of different sizes, so I'm not sure which ones you're interested in, but the ones I use the most for making layouts in my journal is 0.8, 0.5, 0.3 and 0.1. For drawing I really love .03, 0.1 and 0.2. The gel pen I use for writing is 0.38 (weird size, yes haha), and I don't like writing with pens any thicker than that. I hope that helps!:)
mochibujo hi! thanks! i actually use a 0.38 for all my writing tooooo :D
OMG IT'S COUSIN DERP!!!!!! i'm sorry, i'm new here. This video has helped me so much with tracking my mental health!
It’s not cousin Derp, it’s Walter😐 I designed him and his dinosaur friends in 2015, and I only heard about Cousin Derp a few months ago from a different commenter.
@@mochibujo Oh...sorry my bad. Thank you for addressing it 🙂
@@elishajoseph3253 no worries☺️
Skal jeg begynne med "mood tracker" må det bli en linje per dag. Gjerne i kombinasjon med forskjellige farver eller droddlinger.
I was thinking of using the monthly tracker with more colors instead of one per day.
Big Thank you from india
Thanks for watching!☺️
“Like your cat got ran over by a car” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s the saddest thing I could imagine right then and there😭😭😭😭
05:32 Reality check. It's true and I agree.
I will surely try these #happydoodlecorner
I use the mood tracker wheel but I always have like more than five colours for one day 😬🐍🧚♀️
You can put a ombré? For two moods
Where is your black calligraphy pen from?
5:16 I'm going to hell for laughing about that
You and me both - I'm the one how said it, after all hahahah
Your right it is a waste of time, one i was gonna make a mood tracker but something stopped me and i said to my self "why am i doing this its such a waste of time" and i didnt make a tracker there are so many things to do than make a mood tracker
In last one she wrote Stupid for family lol 😂😂😂😂
Sometimes it’s like that🤷🏼♀️🤪
So I feel really really dumb. Lol I just thought everyone was naturally good at drawing when I saw all these types of pages on Pinterest. I had no idea it was with rulers lol. I feel like I can actually create these now :}
I would really like to know how to control anxiety if you haven’t done a journal video on that could you
I am not a mental health expert, nor am I qualified to talk about mental health in that way, so I probably won’t do a video on how to control anxiety. So sorry about that! But hopefully you can find some other videos on my channel that you can enjoy🥰
Thank you and I will
i hope my cat is fine 😥 bruh btw great video
Mood tracker means can you please tell me?
But how many colors do you put in a day????
Are you asking about a specific mood tracking system?😅
What is the book name pls s
Hello! I mention it at the very beginning of the video (0:50), it’s an Artist’s Loft notebook 😊
Watch the playlists i made for yall
Might help
In my opinion the one-dimensional mood trackers were not useful for the same reason. They were not giving a full/deep enough picture I could use to actually track how I was feeling. Even dividing it to morning/afternoon/bedtime blocks helped.
the measurements plz
The measurements of what?🤔
Can’t you just blend two colors together or just put to colors on the same thing for the same day.
(I don’t mean for this to sound rude in any way if that’s how this is being portrayed)
MASH anyone? I can't be the only one.
I don’t quite understand😂
vıdeo ıs so good ı like it but 4:57 wtf?????
Are you referring to the little glitch?😅 It was a problem that occurred for me in my older videos where I used iMovie to edit. My videos from around May 2020 doesn’t have that problem because I use a different editing program☺️
@@mochibujo ohhh sorry bro okay okay not probem 😄
I think it was a great idéa to show different mood trackers and how they can work. But I was sad to find your predjudice so prevalient just because something does not work for you (you repatatively "thrashed" some trackers and peoples use of them insted of just highlighting your favourits). Your negativism may deter others from trying.
For me it is really good to keep track of my overall mood in a day since l have som problems... and I have never felt the need to limit myself to just one color.
I wish you would have had more of an open mind doing this video (and maybe a more creative stance to the trackers instead of following rules) wich was great to watch but sad to listen to.
Sorry for what may look like a negative entry. It is meant to be constructive.
I’m sorry that I came across as overly negative. I have tried so many mood trackers in my 3 years of bullet journaling, and many of them have been disappointing, and I’ve often felt “tricked” in a way, by “big bujoers” who promise great productivity and mindfulness when the spreads suggested haven’t worked for me at all. So in a way, I wanted to share a more realistic approach to mood trackers, which in my opinion is that mood trackers don’t work for everyone, and certainly hasn’t worked well for me (except for those that use words instead of scales and colors). So that has been my intention for this video.
I agree that I could’ve explored different ways to use the different trackers, so I take full responsibility for that. However, it would’ve become a very long video if I were to go more in-depth into all of these trackers and different ways to use them, and my experience on RUclips is that people don’t want to watch super long videos most of the time 😟
Thank you for taking the time to write your comment!❤️
