The Feelings Wheel!

So, sometimes feelings are hard to differentiate from thoughts. These are some feelings wheel examples (colorful wheels that have multiple different words describing feelings) that you may find useful.

They are each slightly different, but have the same basic concept. They have the core feelings and radiate out with secondary and tertiary feelings.

See if these are helpful to you the next time you have the ‘feels’ but can’t quite name them.
