Find the Words for What You’re Feeling
The Expanding You Feeling Wheel—Your Guide to Understanding, Expressing & Owning Your Emotions
Do you have the words to express your real feelings?
For years, society has placed a premium on intelligence, or I.Q. But today, there’s growing recognition of something equally—if not more—important: our Emotional Intelligence, or E.Q.
Your emotional intelligence is a skill, one that forms the foundation for self-regulation and healthy, thriving relationships. Yet many of us weren’t taught how to understand or express our emotions while growing up.
Instead, we were often encouraged to control or avoid our feelings. Emotions like anger or sadness were labeled as “bad,” and even happiness sometimes had limits. But here’s the thing—ignoring emotions doesn’t make them go away.
Think of feelings like the check engine light in your car—they’re there to signal something important that needs your attention. Denying or suppressing them only disconnects you from yourself and the people around you.
If you’re looking to grow your emotional intelligence, it all starts with understanding your feelings. Whether you’re a manager, parent, partner, or friend, the ability to recognize and express your emotions is key to building meaningful, fulfilling relationships, starting with yourself.
Understanding yourself often begins with your feelings.
- Unpleasant emotions: These act as signals, guiding you to areas that need care, attention, or change.
- Challenging emotions: They can feel overwhelming or hard to name, but once you identify them, you open the door to self-expression, growth, and healing.
