The Feelings Wheel

The Feelings Wheel
The Feelings Wheel is a helpful tool when stepping into thoughtwork and using the STEAR Model. Since every action and result begins with how we feel, being able to name emotions with clarity is essential. This wheel helps you trace complex emotions back to their root states—happiness, sadness, anger, fear, calm, and strength. By identifying and naming what you’re experiencing, you gain the awareness needed to shift your thoughts, work the STEAR process with accuracy, and choose responses that align with the life you want to create.
