Words for noticing your inner weather.

Activity tag — Aktivite etiketi

A short label for what was happening around a mood entry, such as “walk,” “work,” or “time with friends.” Tags give a future reflection more context.

Baseline — Temel düzey

Your own reference point for how you usually feel. It is not an ideal mood or a score to achieve; it simply helps you notice a change.

Check-in — Kısa kontrol

A brief pause to ask, “What am I feeling right now?” A check-in can take less than a minute and still be useful.

Coping skill — Baş etme becerisi

A supportive action for a difficult moment, such as taking a breath, asking for company, resting, or stepping outside. What helps is personal.

Emotional awareness — Duygusal farkındalık

The practice of noticing, naming, and reflecting on emotions. Awareness is observation, not a demand to immediately change how you feel.

Emotion wheel — Duygu çarkı

A visual vocabulary tool that moves from broad feelings to more precise words. It can help when “good” or “bad” feels too vague.

Gratitude — Minnettarlık

Noticing something you appreciate. Gratitude can sit beside a hard feeling; it does not require pretending that everything is fine.

Intensity — Yoğunluk

How strong a feeling seems to you in that moment. An intensity rating is a personal estimate, not a medical measurement.

Journal prompt — Günlük sorusu

A short question that makes it easier to begin writing, such as “What felt heavy today?” or “What do I need more of right now?”

Mood journal — Ruh hali günlüğü

A personal record of feelings and the context around them. It may include a mood, a note, a photo, an activity, or a reflection.

Mood pattern — Ruh hali örüntüsü

A possible repeated relationship you notice across entries, such as feeling more settled after a walk. A pattern is an invitation to explore, not proof of cause.

Mood tracking — Ruh hali takibi

Recording moods and context over time to support personal reflection. See our practical guide to mood tracking.

Reflection — Düşünme / değerlendirme

Looking back at an experience with curiosity rather than judgment. Reflection asks what you notice; it does not demand a perfect explanation.

Routine — Rutin

A repeatable cue and action that makes a check-in easier, like opening a mood journal after brushing your teeth or before sleep.

Self-care — Öz bakım

Actions that support your needs, rest, connection, or wellbeing. It can be practical and small: water, a boundary, a message, or a quiet minute.

Stressor — Stres kaynağı

Something that may add pressure or strain, from a deadline to uncertainty. A stressor is not a personal failure.

Streak — Seri

A run of repeated check-ins. It can be motivating when it feels encouraging, but missing a day does not erase what you have learned.

Trigger — Tetikleyici

A cue that can bring up a strong emotional reaction. The word is best used gently; it describes a moment of activation, not something “wrong” with you.

Trend — Eğilim

A broad direction in entries over time. Trends can suggest questions to ask, but they do not explain every day or prove why a mood changed.

Wellbeing — İyi oluş

A broad sense of how supported, connected, and resourced you feel in your life. It has no single universal definition or score.
