You might want to carry a copy of the Gloria Wilcox feelings wheel with you for times you are feeling emotions you want to better understand. Are you hurt, feeling inadequate, humiliated, angry, or anxious? Each emotion will need to be addressed in a different way.
For example, if you are feeling sad, you can use the wheel to describe the kind of sadness you are feeling. Once you can identify them, then you can address and resolve them. Use the feelings wheel to identify the specific feelings and emotions you are experiencing at any given moment. Since there are thousands of emotions, people often find it difficult to express their feelings. The feelings wheel helps people describe their feelings and identify their emotions with more accuracy.
Gloria Willcox to help clients expand their emotion vocabulary.
