Mindful Feelings Tracker (Download)

This prompted journal is a good fit for you if:

• You wish to explore why specific situations affect your mood in a certain way
• You want to incorporate a quick, but insightful, mindfulness practice into your stress management routine
• You frequently experience intense emotional reactions that you find difficult to de-escalate or that disrupt your focus for the rest of the day
• You freeze, or feel “numb,” when faced with stressful situations or individuals

Gut Reactions
You feel the situation as a physical sensation. It may take the form of a chill from a thrill, shaking in anger, a flutter of excitement, the flush of embarrassment, spinning confusion, jittery impatience, churning unease, etc.

You possess a natural affinity toward intuitive decision-making. You also gather a great deal of information from others’ body language, whether you’re aware of it or not, which influences your interactions.

However, communicating these feelings may present some difficulty. If so, the Mindful Feelings Tracker gives you practice translating emotional sensations into words that help you better express your needs and wishes to others.

Internal Dialogue
You think things through. Though sometimes you say what you think out loud before you get a chance to filter it. More introverted thinkers may hang onto a feeling for hours or even days.

You carry deep connections between your thoughts and the feelings that flow through them. A knack for self-expression and sensitivity to the nuance in what others say lead to rich conversations.

The Mindful Feelings Tracker challenges you to dig below the surface of intense feelings. Identifying emotional triggers puts you in control of your feelings to direct them more constructively, or let them pass when they don’t serve you.

How often should I write in the feelings tracker?
That’s entirely up to you! Typically, we recommend establishing a baseline of your mood by recording your feelings at least 3 times per day for 2-4 weeks. After that, maintaining a habit of checking in with your emotions once a day will ensure you catch any patterns in your mood related to your daily routine or changes to it.

If you want to find the root cause of a particular feeling, write about it whenever it occurs. Otherwise, recording a strong emotions, whether positive or negative, in the moment will lead you to a better understanding of why you felt it so intensely.
