Name what you feel right now. Select one or more emotions. Every emotion is information — none of them makes you "bad".
About this exercise
The wheel of emotions helps you put a more precise name to what you feel. It has 8 core emotions, each with 3 intensities. Two emotions together form a blended one (for example: joy + trust = love).
How to use it
Ask yourself: "what am I feeling right now?" or "what did I feel in situation X?".
Select one or more emotions, at the intensity you feel.
Where do you feel it in your body? Jot it down — throat, chest, stomach, shoulders. This helps you recognise it faster next time.
Notice the combinations that appear. What we feel is often more nuanced than "I feel awful" or "I'm fine".
What to look for
Two opposite emotions at the same time — that's normal, it means the situation has more than one side.
Intensity — a mild emotion calls for a different response than an intense one.
The emotions you avoid — often what you don't name holds the most power over you.
Based on the Robert Plutchik model (1980).
