Emotions Wheel Worksheet

The emotions wheel is a powerful visual tool that helps you identify, name, and better understand what you’re feeling. When emotions feel big, confusing, or hard to express, the wheel offers language and structure to make sense of your internal experience. It expands emotional vocabulary beyond “happy,” “sad,” or “angry,” helping you tune in to more nuanced feelings like “overwhelmed,” “insecure,” or “hopeful.” This increased emotional clarity can reduce distress, support regulation, and improve communication with others. For anyone working on emotional awareness, self-compassion, or managing anxiety, the emotions wheel is an accessible and validating place to start.
