CBT Behavioral Activation Worksheet

Description:

The CBT Behavioral Activation Worksheet is like a gentle nudge forward when everything feels too heavy to move. Built on proven cognitive and therapy-based techniques, it helps you reconnect with everyday actions that support your mental health — especially, when depression, anxiety, or procrastination start to take over.

Instead of getting stuck in the loop of rumination and avoidance, this worksheet guides you to plan meaningful activities, build coping skills, and break the cycle that often makes things feel worse. Whether it’s going for a walk, calling a friend, or practicing relaxation, each small step adds up to something that makes more sense.

It’s not just a checklist — it’s a psychological tool that brings structure, balance, and a bit of hope back into your days. Thoughtfully designed to support your treatment, this worksheet helps you become more mindful of what lifts you up — when your thoughts try to pull you down.

  • Questions & Notes: How have you been feeling lately?
  • How active have you been?
  • Are there activities you’ve been avoiding that are important for your well-being?

I am so happy to have found such a comprehensive planner for my Kindle Scribe. The included templates in the Scribe leave a lot to be desired. This planner is incredibly detailed and provides me with all that I need and more to organize my life. I cannot wait to play around with it some more. I would buy again in a heartbeat!
