Need Some Inspiration for Your Bullet Journal Mood Tracker? These 10 Trackers Will Automatically Make You Happy

Last Updated: September 27, 2024

Self-care is extremely important for our well-being. It’s isn’t just about face-masks and bubble baths, we need to be aware of and actively working to improve our wellbeing. That is why tracking your mood in a bullet journal is such a wonderful idea.

As the quote says, “what get’s measured get’s managed.”

When you have this information laid out in front of you, you’re able to identify triggers and see correlations. I was able to see that my mood was very heavily impacted by my physical activity. The days I was less active, I felt kind of meh, and the days I walked or had a good workout I felt happy, enthusiastic, and even focused more at work! Perhaps your triggers are different, for you, it might be sleep (or lack of) that affects your wellbeing most.

TOOLS

Before we dive right in, I want to mention the tools I have found and use for Bullet Journaling. If you’re just starting out on your BuJo journey, these are the tools I wish I had purchased at the beginning instead of overpriced books and markers that ‘professional bullet journal-ers’ recommended me.

I use this journal, which is a dupe to the cult-favorite Leuchtturm1917. The only difference is the pages aren’t numbered. No biggie.
This is the black pen I use for writing in my dailies and such.
I get these colorful markers for decorating.
Metal Stencils to help me decorate and design my journal. They come with a little carry case and ruler.

That’s it. And to be completely transparent, I only use the markers and stencils a couple of times a month, when I set up new pages, or am bored and want to decorate. The bread and butter of a bullet journal is simply a pen and a notebook you carry with you regularly. Don’t get too crazy in the beginning as you figure out what pages do and don’t work for you.
