Mood Tracker Printable
Mood tracker printable with a monthly grid, five-mood colour key, and a notes column. Free PDF for daily check-ins on US Letter or A4.
A mood tracker printable turns a vague sense of how a month went into a picture you can actually see. The PDF on this page uses a five-mood colour key across 31 days, with a small notes column on the right for anything that might explain a shift.
What is on the page
At the top is a colour key: great, good, okay, low, and rough, each with a coloured circle. Below the key is a table of 31 rows, one per day, with five small circles you fill in with the matching colour and a wide notes column on the right. The notes column is short by design so you write only what matters.
How to use a mood tracker
Fill in one circle a day at a consistent time. Evening tends to work better than morning because you are reviewing a day that has already happened rather than predicting one that has not. At the end of the month, step back and look at the sheet as a whole. Clusters of colour, weekly patterns, and single outliers become visible in a way they never do from memory alone.
Related trackers
A mental health mood tracker printable typically includes the same table with a rating scale added. An anxiety tracker printable narrows the focus to a single dimension and often adds triggers. An aesthetic mood tracker printable trades practical layout for decorative styling and is easier to find than to design.
About mood
Mood is a sustained emotional state, distinct from a fleeting emotion. Regular mood tracking is used clinically in cognitive behavioural therapy and by GPs to distinguish situational lows from patterns that need a different response. A paper tracker is not a diagnostic tool, but it makes conversations with a clinician noticeably more concrete.
Printing tips
Print at 100 percent scale. If you want a re-usable copy, laminate the sheet and use fine-tip dry-erase markers. Otherwise, one sheet per month is enough.
Frequently asked questions
Is this mood tracker for adults or children?
Both. The colour key is language-light, which makes it usable for children old enough to identify a mood, and the notes column suits adults who want to journal briefly.
How does a mood tracker help with mental health?
It makes patterns visible that memory alone will smooth over. That said, it is not a substitute for professional support. If your entries show a sustained low, please speak to a clinician.
Can I use a highlighter instead of coloured pens?
Yes. Yellow, green, orange, and pink highlighters map roughly onto the key. Use them consistently within a sheet.
