What Is A Feelings Chart?

A feelings chart or an emotion chart can help you to identify what you are feeling and help you to put it into words. It can come in various forms which also means that they are great for both kids and adults to use.

You will find that most feelings chart comes in the form of a list, faces of emotions, and a wheel. Usually, for kids, the feelings chart would look more like a list or a bunch of faces with different emotions. For adults, it will be a feelings wheel with primary emotions in the inner wheel layer and secondary in the outer wheel layer.

How Can You Use It

It can be difficult to express how you really feel sometimes, especially if you are someone who is not used to doing so. This is where a feelings chart can make it easier for you.

You can start using a feelings chart by printing out a copy— whether it is a chart filled with faces or a wheel with emotional words.

Think about how you are feeling internally and select the image or words that you resonate with the most. Once you’ve identified the basic emotion that you are feeling, try to dig a little deeper and see if there are other emotions that you are feeling (you can feel more than one emotion at a time).

Take your time to navigate your emotions slowly. Remember that there is no right or wrong feeling to have. If you are experiencing negative emotions, refrain from self-criticism and remind yourself that it is human to feel that way.
