Behavioural Activation Diary

Depression often leads to reduced activity, making it difficult to recognise how daily routines influence mood. Keeping a behavioural activation diary can help identify patterns between activities and emotional wellbeing, making it easier to build routines that support recovery over time.

This printable behavioural activation resource includes a Behavioural Activation Diary, guidance on how to use the diary and a completed weekly example. Record your morning, afternoon and evening activities each day, rate your mood from 0 to 10 and review patterns across the week to identify which activities support your wellbeing.

Whether you are working independently, alongside a therapist or supporting clients in therapy, this diary provides a practical and structured way to monitor activity levels, increase self awareness and support behavioural activation.
