Tracking to Understand How You Feel

If you’ve been feeling unlike yourself, a gentle note of what’s been going on may help you spot patterns—such as stress, sleep, activity or your menstrual cycle. Keep it simple, and only track food or fluids if that feels safe and useful for you. A log can offer clues, but it can’t diagnose the cause; if the changes concern you, speak with a health professional.

I’m Maggie, a psychotherapist, and I created this prompt to encourage curiosity about how you’re feeling.

What patterns, if any, have you noticed? Can you answer this honestly?
