Learning how to identify specific emotions we are feeling can help us build self-awareness. This Emotion & Feeling Wheel is designed to help you name what you’re experiencing.

Use these steps:

1. Start at the center — identify a primary emotion that you might be feeling now.
2. Move outward — explore if any sub-categories more accurately reflect how you feel.
3. Name multiple feelings — it’s common to notice several feelings at once.
4. Share with others — If you want to tell somehow how you’re feeling, practice being specific.
