Worksheet Sheet Low mood and motivation

Small Wins Worth Counting

Write down the things you did that your mind would otherwise throw away.

Purpose: Write down the things you did that your mind would otherwise throw away.

When to use: Use this at the end of the day, or at the end of a week that felt like nothing.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Six things you did, however small. Getting dressed counts.
  2. Which one took the most out of you? Say why.
  3. How much credit do you usually give yourself for these?
  4. Pick one to say out loud to yourself, in plain words. Write it here.
    I got up and I ate something and that was hard today.

A low mood keeps a short list of what counts. This is you keeping a longer one.
