Self monitoring is an observation method and refers to the systematic recording of one's own actions, thoughts and feelings for the purposes of changing these aspects of behavior, using, for example, behavior modification techniques.

This is often included in clinical treatment settings where initial self monitoring is used to establish a baseline against which subsequent progress can be measured and reinforced. Such self evaluation can also be used as a self help technique to self manage areas of problem behavior
