WHAT THIS IS: ‍

The Emotions Wheel is a simple yet powerful tool that helps you identify what you’re really feeling — beyond broad labels like “fine,” “tired,” or“stressed.”

It’s adapted from the work of psychologist Dr. Robert Plutchik and later models developed for emotional intelligence training.

The wheel groups emotions into core families (such as joy, anger, fear, sadness, surprise, and disgust),and shows how each can branch into more specific emotions.

“You can’t regulate what you can’t recognise.”

WHY IT MATTERS

Understanding and managing emotion sits at the heart of strategic self-awareness.

When you can recognise what you feel — and why — you can respond with clarity and intention rather than react automatically.
