A gentle check-in
Mood Check-In.
Naming a feeling is the first kindness you can offer it. Choose whatever's closest to how you feel right now — there's no wrong answer, and feelings can be mixed.
How strong is it?
A small, kind next step
This is a gentle reflection, not a diagnosis or therapy. Feelings pass, but if a heavy one lingers or feels like too much to carry, please reach out to someone you trust or a mental-health professional.
A mood check-in is a short, intentional pause to notice and name how you feel right now. This free tool walks you through a 30-second check-in and helps you spot emotional patterns over days and weeks. It runs privately in your browser.
Research on “affect labelling” suggests that putting a feeling into words can lower its intensity — link a UCLA affect-labelling source.
What is a mood check-in?
A brief moment where you pause and name your current emotion. Done regularly, it builds self-awareness and helps you notice what lifts or drains you.
How often should I check in with my mood?
Once a day works for most people, morning or evening. You can also check in any time you feel a strong shift.
Is this mood tracker free and private?
Yes. It’s free and runs in your browser, so entries aren’t saved to a server or shared.
