Create Custom Mood Trackers in Canva 🌙✨

Mood trackers aren’t just pretty journal pages—they’re powerful tools for self-reflection. Whether you’re working on your mental health, trying to spot patterns in your habits, or just love coloring in little boxes, mood trackers are a creative way to connect with your day-to-day emotions.

And the best part? You don’t need to buy a fancy notebook or expensive template. You can design your own custom mood tracker in Canva, tailored exactly to your style and needs. Let’s dive into how you can make one that’s both functional and fun.

🌼 Why Use a Mood Tracker?

Before we start designing, let’s talk about why mood trackers matter:

• They help you identify patterns in your emotions and routines.

• They provide a visual snapshot of your month or week at a glance.

• They make journaling more interactive and creative.

• They encourage mindfulness and self-reflection—without judgment.

Think of it as a colorful map of your emotional world.

🎨 Step 1: Choose Your Layout

In Canva, open a new design (8.5x11 works great if you want to print it). From there, think about your favorite tracker styles:

• Calendar Style: Boxes for each day of the month.

• Circle or Wheel: A pie chart divided into 30 or 31 sections.

• Themed Shapes: Flowers, hearts, books, stars—color in each shape based on your mood.

• Graph Style: A line or bar chart where moods become data points.

🌈 Step 2: Define Your Mood Key

Your mood tracker only works if you decide what moods you want to track! Create a color key in Canva by adding a row of circles or swatches and labeling them:

• Yellow: Happy

• Blue: Calm

• Pink: Loved

• Red: Stressed

• Green: Productive

Feel free to get creative—add emojis, doodles, or even patterns for each mood.

✏️ Step 3: Add Fun Graphics

Here’s where Canva shines! Search their elements library for illustrations that fit your vibe. Some ideas:

• For book lovers: little stacks of books for each day.

• For plant parents: leaves or succulents.

• For cozy vibes: coffee mugs, stars, or clouds.

This is where your mood tracker becomes uniquely you.

📅 Step 4: Print or Keep It Digital

Once your design feels just right, you can:

• Print it out and color in each day by hand.

• Keep it digital and fill it out in Canva or a tablet note-taking app.

• Save it as a PDF and reuse it every month!

🌟 Pro Tip: Make It a Routine

A mood tracker is most powerful when you use it consistently. Set a reminder each evening to fill in your tracker. Over time, you’ll have a visual diary of your emotional growth.
