Choosing the Right Words for Your Emotions

Sometimes we get caught up with our emotions and say how we feel quickly in a reactive mode. For example, if you feel “mad” check out this Feelings Wheel and determine if there is another adjective that better describes how you really feel (or more accurately expresses what you have going on in your life at the moment).

Recognizing first how you feel and tagging a specific word to that feeling is a great way to strengthen your emotional health.

An emotion wheel is a visual guide with no set start or end. Emotion wheels can help you identify your emotions and help increase your emotional intelligence. You can use it to help figure out what may have caused your emotions and then ways that you may be able to handle them positively. An emotion wheel is a visual guide with no set start or end.
