We often use broad words like “fine,” “bad,” or “stressed.”The Feeling Wheel helps you move beyond general labels and name the specific emotions underneath your reactions.
This guide includes clear, step-by-step instructions for using the Feeling Wheel in a practical way — so you can pause, reflect, and respond more intentionally.
By clarifying what you truly feel, you strengthen your ability to:
- Respond instead of react
- Communicate more clearly
- Understand emotional triggers
- Support self-regulation and resilience
Authors: Based on the original Feeling Wheel model by Gloria Willcox (1982).
