Why track your mood?
Mood tracking can be a helpful way to keep an eye on your mental health, which is why it’s a great tool used by therapists to help monitor mood disorders like depression and anxiety.
Even if you don’t struggle with a disorder, there are still many benefits of mood tracking. For example, understanding how certain activities make you feel and noticing your triggers is a great way to learn more about yourself and how your moods change over time. It can also help you notice which activities cause you to feel positive or negative emotions, and even see how your moods affect your physical health.

Halo’s top tips for mood tracking:
Be consistent
Mood tracking is most effective when you’re consistent, so be sure to add a log every day. You can set a reminder on Halo so you never miss a day!
Be mindful
Before logging your mood, take a moment to assess your mood and what is making you feel that way. A mindful moment to reflect will help you add more honest logs and create a clearer picture of your moods across time.
Log happy moods, too!
It can be tempting to only track your mood when you’re feeling negative emotions, but don’t forget to note the good stuff too! Noticing where you are, who you’re with and what you’re doing when you’re feeling great helps you recreate that feeling more often, as well as helping you establish your sense of identity.
