Mood Meter
What is the Mood Meter?
The Mood Meter is a tool used to recognize and understand emotions. The Mood Meter helps us to understand that all emotions are ok. We all experience a wide variety of emotions throughout our lives daily. We also begin to learn about appropriate strategies for self-regulation of our emotions.
The Mood Meter is divided into four color quadrants - red, blue, green, and yellow - each representing a different set of feelings. Feelings are grouped together on the mood meter based on their pleasantness and energy level.
Red feelings: High in energy and more unpleasant
Blue feelings: Low in energy and more unpleasant
Green feelings: Low in energy and more pleasant
Yellow feelings: High in energy and more pleasant
