Mood Tracker

Mood trackers help you regularly record and monitor your emotions over time. They can help you identify emotional patterns, recognize personal triggers, and understand how your daily habits influence your mental well-being.

Try tracking your mood for a few weeks to uncover patterns and identify potential stressors.

Goal-Setting

Goal-setting is a great way to build routine and motivation; it protects your mental health by giving you things to aspire to.

Goals fall into 2 categories: short-term and long-term.

Short-term goals (days/weeks) serve as stepping stones that create momentum and fast results.
- eg. completing all homework assignments, save $20 each week from a job for a month
Long-term goals (months/years) are broader aspirations that require consistent commitment.
- eg. raise a grade over the school semester, build endurance to race in a 5K

When setting goals, consider the SMART framework to make them more achievable.
