The Wheel of Misfortune 😂 (AKA feelings.. blech) When I first got sober I was absolutely APPALLED at all the different emotions I was experiencing. I’d go from happy to sad, excited to depressed, bitter to serene… it was a total cluster-f@ck. Then to make matters worse, I would really get to feeling some type of way and I would have no words to describe what the feeling was. Then someone showed me the feelings wheel, which to fair was equally as confusing at fiof it. Anyways, I thought I’d share, just in case it could be helpful for you too! There’s really no right or wrong way to use the wheel, but I’ll share two of the most common methods! Method 1: ➡️ Find the inner-most circle ➡️ Identify the core feeling you’re experiencing ➡️ Based on the core emotion, extend to the corresponding pie slice. ➡️ Review which of those emotions feels relatable based on your situation. ➡️Extend to the outermost corresponding section of your pie slice and name your feeling. Method 2: ➡️ Start on the outer-most ring of the wheel. ➡️ Find an emotion that most closely described what you’re feeling. ➡️ Move inward on the corresponding pie slice to narrow your feeling more precisely. ➡️ Move to the inner-most circle to help find the core emotion behind what you’re feeling. THAT’S IT! Pretty simple right, but man is it helpful if I’m struggling to find out what it is I’m actually feeling. Have you ever used a feeling wheel?
