EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ·
SELF-AWARENESS
Name what you feel.
Then you can work with it.
Most people navigate their emotional life with a vocabulary of around three states: good, bad, and fine. Research by Dr. Marc Brackett at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence shows that the ability to name emotions precisely — to distinguish frustrated from indignant, sad from bereft — is the foundation of every other emotional skill.
Recognising and labelling what you feel is where emotional intelligence begins. The wheel is a tool for that practice.
How to use the wheel
Start at the centre. The seven core emotions — Anger, Disgust, Sad, Happy, Peaceful, Surprise, Fear — are the broad territory.
Move outward. Each ring increases in specificity. The outer words are the precise ones — the ones that carry information about what you actually need.
Spin the wheel slowly. Notice which words produce a flicker of recognition. Click to read the definition. Let that be enough.
This is not a test. It is a practice of attention — the same practice that, over time, makes you easier to be around and harder to misread.
