What is the Daily Mood Chart?
The daily mood chart (free template) is a two-page tracker built around numbered day rows rather than free text. Page one splits each day into Emotions and feelings, Physical state, and Reflections and goals. Named moods run from joy and calmness through Tired, Anxious and Other.
How to use the Daily Mood Chart
Give this as homework at the start of a month, since the page is one numbered block of days rather than a sheet per day. Ask the client to mark Physical state on the same pass as mood, since sleep and nutrition often explain a low day better than events do. Your clients can use the second page as a habit grid, ticking the seven weekday columns. Read the Reflections and goals lines together at the next session.
