Feelings Wheel: Emotion Diary

At the end of a week, or a month, it’s easy to forget how your mood actually moved. What stays is often just a vague feeling: frozen, or simply tired. Feelings Wheel helps you put a name to what you feel as it happens, so you can look back later and see it. It’s a self-awareness tool for anyone who finds it hard to name their feelings. NAME IT ON THE WHEEL Start broad with six core feelings on the emotion wheel, then narrow it down step by step until you find the word that fits. All 78 feeling words come with a short meaning. HOW STRONG, AND WHERE? Mark how strong the feeling is, from mild to overwhelming, and where you notice it in your body. “Hard to say” is an answer too. A FEW WORDS, IF YOU LIKE Jot down what was happening. Short prompts help you start. After each check-in you’ll see a small idea to try. CHECK IN AS OFTEN AS YOU LIKE Feelings shift during the day. Name them again…
