Emotion Wheel

Emotion Wheel, also known as Feelings Wheel, is a simple tool for working with your emotions. It helps you slow down and understand what’s going on inside.

Sometimes an emotion can point to a crossed boundary or an unmet need. Noticing these signals can help you be more mindful of how you feel.

How to use Emotion Wheel

Working with emotions can feel difficult, so we tried to create a tool that makes this process easier and more approachable.
Feelings Wheel
A few simple steps to get started:

1. Take a moment to pause and check in with yourself – what are you feeling? What do you notice in your body?

2. Choose a core emotion from the center of the wheel (happy, sad, angry, etc.).

3. Move toward the edge of the wheel and pick the feeling that fits best.

4. Name the emotion without judging it – just let yourself notice it.

5. Read about this emotion and try to understand what it might be telling you (for example, about a crossed boundary or an unmet need).

6. If you’d like, try a few gentle practices to help yourself feel better

Why this can help

In today’s world, many of us deal with stress, overwhelm, tiredness, and loneliness – and that’s just a small part of what a person can feel.

Our interactive Emotion Wheel is made to help people work with their emotions. Sometimes it’s not easy to understand what you’re feeling, what’s behind that feeling, or how to help yourself in the moment.

How we’re different from the usual “images from the internet” and articles

Most emotion wheels online are just pictures, with little or no explanation of what each emotion means or what it might be trying to tell you.

We wanted to make something more helpful – an interactive tool that helps you understand your feelings better, see how they’re connected, and find simple, gentle ways to support yourself when you need it.
