The EMOTION Wheel

Image item
The original Emotion Wheel was created by psychologist Robert Plutchik, Ph. D. , Modern versions of the emotion wheel now have 8 core emotions at the center.

Here is my favorite EMOTION Wheel. 

I did not create it, but I literally use it daily.

When you're trying to teach your brain to accept the full range of emotions,  
don't forget to use the EMOTIONS WHEEL and
 The 3-F Method
1. F-"Feel It"
Let yourself actually “feel” your feelings,Make sure you NAME your emotions, otherwise your brain will lump your feelings into simple categories like mad, sad, glad… use the EMOTION WHEEL below) 
2. F- “Face It"
Face the TRUTH of exactly why you're feeling your emotion. This is not the time to judge yourself, its a time to help your brain get honest with where your feelings are coming from. 
 I feel overwhelmed because I waited until the last minute to get this project finished.    OR:  I feel bitter because my mother-in-law ignores me during family events. 
3. F- “Flip It"
Flip your emotional REACTION by looking at how your normally REACT. Then try to FLIP it to a cognitive RESPONSE rather than an emotional REACTION. your FOCUS with a PLAN of “action”.
