Tracking your mood

Why track your mood?

Tracking your mood helps you understand and manage your emotional well-being. By regularly recording how you feel, you can identify patterns and triggers, make informed decisions about your mental health, and enhance your overall journaling experience.

Configure templates to track your mood

You can add mood tracking to your templates so that each time you use them, the question "How do I feel?" appears in your entry.

1. Go to Journals > Templates.
2. Edit your daily template and insert the $mood keyword.

After adding mood tracking to your entry, a template asking "How do I feel?" will appear. Click on this template to open a window where you can personalize your mood. Use the slider to select your mood, and additional emotions will appear below it.

Inserting mood anywhere in the entries

1. Using the slash command: Type /mood in your entry to add mood tracking.
2. iOS Only - Use the toolbar icon: Click the mood icon on the toolbar above the keyboard to add your mood.

Viewing your mood chart

You can view your mood chart in the Stats view. Each mood entry is represented by a dot on the chart. If you have multiple mood entries in a day, a gradient bar will display, showing the range of moods you experienced. This feature allows you to monitor your emotional state over time and gain insights into your mood patterns.
