How To Make A Daily Health Tracker
If you’ve never had a mental health tracker, then this is for you. Mental health includes our social, emotional and psychological well-being. Our mental health determines how we handle stress. It is so important, but it’s easy to fall off track and feel overwhelmed. Here are some easy ways on how to help keep track of your mental health, and how to make a daily health tracker.
Make a morning routine.
It can be as simple as waking up 10 minutes earlier to stretch or meditate. Followed by a healthy breakfast. And then taking your vitamins. Your morning routine doesn’t have to be 10 steps long. Identify 3 non-negotiables that you want to make sure you complete in your routine every day.
Document your mood for the day
At the end of each day, write down in a journal how you felt overall. This is a good way to keep track of your mood and how you have been feeling the last few days. If you find yourself continuously writing that you are feeling sad and down, it might be a sign to change up something different in your routine.
Write a to-do list
Make a to-do list for the day. Crossing off tasks on your list will always make you feel accomplished and productive. Some days are going to be busier than others, but when you feel productive, it can play a huge role in maintaining your mental health
Track your water intake
Water has so many benefits in your body. Tracking your water is a great way to be mindful of how much you are drinking every day. If you find yourself slipping on your water intake, it might be just want you need to pay more attention.
Track your sleep
Getting 7-8 hours of sleep a day is vital in maintaining good mental health. Life gets busy and it’s so easy for us to not prioritize sleep. No matter how busy you are, sleep is so important. Try writing down how much sleep you are getting each night
Document what you’re grateful for
This is something I struggle with. Sometimes the weight of the world seems to be overwhelming and can easily get us down. Taking a few minutes at the beginning of each day or the end of the evening to write down what we are thankful for can really change our mindset.
Positive affirmations
Affirmations can help replace negative thoughts with positive ones. They can help you change your thought patterns and can bring you much more confidence than you may believe. Try telling yourself 3-5 positive affirmations each and every day. Some examples are:
“I am Strong”
“I am beautiful”
“My hard work will pay off”.
If you’ve never completed a mental health tracker, this is a great place to start. Trackers don’t have to include a ton of details, but it’s important to prioritize what you want to accomplish every single day. You will be amazed at how much more productive you feel after a week of using a daily tracker.
