INSTRUCTIONS FOR April

Every evening, take some time to reflect on your day and what emotions came up. Were you mostly happy, sad, nervous, or a mix of all? Try to identify why you were feeling each emotion and which one you felt the most. If you can't identify one, that's OK! Just use your best judgment. Color in the umbrella for the day of the month with the color of emotion you felt most strongly. 

At the end of the month you can use the completed mood tracker to see your highs and lows. By tracking your mood over time, you can identify times to practice self-care or reinforce healthy habits. Mood tracking also helps with monitoring and maintaining your body budget—this includes eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and finding ways to get moving throughout the day.
