The Emotions Wheel

The Emotions Wheel

It is said that we have 6 Innate Emotions: fear, anger, happiness, sadness, surprise and disgust (Eckman, 1999).
Within these basic categories, there are many nuances and intensities of emotions that we can describe in different ways.

Reflect on the range of emotions that you experience day-to- day using the chart as a guide to labeling them.

Notice how you experience those emotions in your body and list some words that describe the physical sensations.

Remember that we can experience more than one emotion at a time but focus on the one that is most prominent for you.
